What does a MAC really need to do justice to FCE and FCEHD?

I need to purchase a new laptop. I want to use it to prepare 45 min documentaries. The original video will have audio filmed with it. I will want to add more narration, music, more photos, ie. the works. I have been using iPhoto and find that video containing audio and background noise, plus added narration, photos, and background music limits me to 20-30 min DVDs before stuttering occurs. What hardware do I need to do a professional job?
G4 Dual 1 GHz BUS 133 MHz using an external hard drive for iMovie   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   all software updates
G4 Dual   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   all software updates

Hi(Bonjour)!
A laptop is not for professionnal video editing in a regular basis ( at least in your home editing room).
If you need absolutely the portability, that's Okay, but keep in mind that Hard Drives of laptop are slower than one in desktop machine. An external Hard Drive is recommended.
A desktop machine is less fragile, has more connectors on it and is generally faster that the "laptop" little brother (in a head to head comparaison at the same introducing date, the laptop are one generation behind ).
A desktop machine can be easily upgraded and the parts are less expensive.
A good mic is a must to catch good voice overs.

  • What does a BI Developer need to know about SAP tables and why?

    Hi,
    i.
    As a BI Developer, to what extent do you need to know about SAP tables?
    e.g. if you work mainly in the functional areas LO and FI
    ii.
    For example, I know that in Finance, GL relates to the tables BSEG and BKPF.
    And if it is important to know about them, then which other tables need to be known and for what reasons?
    e.g. do I need to know all these tables: http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/abap/tables_fi.htm
    iii.
    I thought as a BI Developer, knowing that a particular datasource, e.g. 0FI_GL_4 contains line items is enough and you replicate it to BW and work with it. Why is there the need to know the tables from which this datasource gets is data?
    iv. What is the main difference between the FI datasources and the LO datasource?
    Thanks.

    We can't say yes or No, so based on your requirement you need to sit with Functional COnsultanst and the understand the Business Requirements and develop the OBjetcs.

    If you want to know the data flow and reconsilization then you need to know it else not required
    iv. What is the main difference between the FI datasources and the LO datasource?
    Yes, one main difference is There is no setup table concept for FI DataSource*
    Note: If you want to become a good BW consulatnt you must know about Tables for normal BW consultant it is not required.

  • What DB roles are REALLY needed by the applications?

    During our upgrade, the security / database guys at my office want me to lockdown the db accounts for portal, publisher, collab, anaytics, etc (also services, notification, security...all the alui related databases). They say that dbo is too privileged and I need to figure out just what the applications need and give them access.
    My question is...what does each account REALLY need? Some accounts create tables (analytics). Is it sufficient for those accounts to just be given CREATE TABLE privileges? Can every other account just be given normal CRUD access?

    fair enough.
    Ali, where did you find the SQL scripts for Collab? Is it someplace I can view easily?
    One comment would be that of course it would be fine for these accounts to have DBO during upgrades, etc, if that is the only time when these 'creating views, indexes, and SP's' are used...

  • What does the Mac Pro do? and who uses it?

    Hey guys, I want to know What does the Mac Pro does and which type of people use it.

    To add a slightly less technical perspective, I bought a new Mac Pro because it fits my preferred working style rather than because I need its specific computing power (And also because my 2008 MP crapped out and I got tired of fixing it).
    When my old Mac Pro died, I ran out and bought a Macbook Pro Retina and used it as my desktop while waiting for the new cylinder MP. The MBPr was stunning and performed like a champ. However, I was reluctant to use it as a laptop (i.e., travel with it) since it was my sole platform for client work and I didn't want to jeopardize my ability to work/deliver should something nasty happen on the road.
    So maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, but I like to have a desktop mac for my primary workstation (I'm a graphic designer and photographer) and a laptop for the road. I use a high-end, wide spectrum monitor for color critical work, so while it's true that an iMac would have the power to run the stuff I need, I prefer to have options with my monitor.
    Again, just another perspective that might factor into a purchase decision. How do you like to work and what works best for your situation? It isn't always mandatory to have the fastest and latest (unless, as in my case, it falls into your established criteria/working style).

  • Does a CQC really need a separate thread/event queue per instance?

    Does a ContinousQueryCache really need a separate thread/event queue per instance?
    Is it possible to get multiple cqc's to share a single event queue?

    Test case to reproduce shown below, i.e. new thread per CQC.
    Sample code:
    =====================================
    NamedCache dummyCache = CacheFactory.getCache("A");
    dummyCache.put("hello", "B");
    dummyCache.put("world", "C");
    ContinuousQueryCache cqcA = new ContinuousQueryCache(dummyCache, new EqualsFilter("toString", "B"), new MultiplexingMapListener() {
    @Override
    protected void onMapEvent(MapEvent mapEvent) {
    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
    ContinuousQueryCache cqcB = new ContinuousQueryCache(dummyCache, new EqualsFilter("toString", "C"), new MultiplexingMapListener() {
    @Override
    protected void onMapEvent(MapEvent mapEvent) {
    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
    =================================
    Output:
    EventQueue:ContinuousQueryCache{Cache=A, Filter=EqualsFilter(.toString(), B)}
    EventQueue:ContinuousQueryCache{Cache=A, Filter=EqualsFilter(.toString(), C)}

  • For what does the BPEL Manager need a domain ?

    For what does the BPEL engine need a domain ?
    Where (in which file) is specified to which domain the BPEL Manager
    connects to?
    Is it a difference if the domains are defined in table
    orabpel.domain
    or just
    domain
    ? With which user/password/service does to BPEL Manager connect to
    Oracle DB to search for its domain?
    Background: My domain "default" exists in table but BEPL Manager could not connect here

    We currently have 3 domains for BPEL. We use them because they a) serve different purposes, b) we tweak the domain level threads.
    I believe bpel manager will, by default, connect to the which ever domain starts with the letter closest to A.
    I also think the user account is orabpel, which connects to the bpel schema.

  • TS2310 what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.

    what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.

    1. It means exactly what it says. Apple dropped support for earlier Mac OS X versions in iTunes 10.7.
    2. Update the computer to 10.6.8. If it's running a Mac OS X version prior to 10.6, this requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

  • HT4199 What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and the bars come up but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network?  You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
    If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
    Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
    If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad.  See if it now connects correctly.

  • What does it mean when your ipod is in recovery mode and how do I solve this problem

    What does it mean when your ipod is in recovery mode and how do I solve this problem?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

  • What does apple do if the ipod is 2 weeks old and was stolen then found but damaged

    What will apple do for you if what does apple do if the ipod is 2 weeks old and was stolen then found but damaged

    If the damage is due to a manufacturing defect, they will unquestionably replace it.  If the damage was caused by misuse or mishandling, such as dropping, Apple is obliged to do nothing.  Your best bet is to go to the Genius bar at an Apple store and explain what happened, perhaps they will replace the iPod.  Also, If you bought your iPod with a credit card, check with your card company.  Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.
