What Exactly Is A 3 Point Edit?

Terminology is not one of my stronger points.
For years I have been reading about "3 point editing" in books and on the forums but it has simply gone straight in and straight out!
It certainly sounded a grandiose and complex procedure to me but I never got round to clarifying exactly what it was.
Yesterday, I once again heard it mentioned when my concentration was slipping and later decided that today was the day for final clarification.
Looking again through Tom's and Lisa's various books, it appeared that it simply meant inserting In and Out points in the Viewer and dragging the clip to the Timeline either directly or via the Canvas overlays, something which I have been doing for years.
Is this the case? Is it that simple?

This is one of those things that is so easy to explain if I were sitting next to you at the editor, but so difficult to explain via a post, but here goes:
You can successfully edit in FC if you do *any 3* of the following four:
Set an In point on the Source Footage
Set an Out point on the Source Footage
Set an In point on the Timeline
Set an Out point on the Timeline
So . . . .
If I mark an In and an Out on my Timeline, I can load a clip in the viewer and just mark the Out point - where I want that source clip to end - and when I click the overwrite button, FC will line up the out from the source with the out on the timeline and fill with material from the source back to the in on the timeline automatically.
OR
If I load an clip into the viewer, and know where I want it to start and stop, I can mark the in and out point on the viewer, and then mark an In on the timeline and when I click overwrite, the FC will line up the two in points and write material from the source until the outpoint set in the viewer.
3 of the 4 points are all that is required to make a successful edit.
When NLE's first came on market, this feature was not there - so doing the following would require workarounds:
Let's say you have a music track on the timeline, and mark an in on the downbeat of measure 16 and want the edit to carry to where the music climaxes on measure 22. You mark your out at the end of measure 22. Now you load up your source footage of a football game, and you want the ball to land in the net right before the end of measure 22. You don't care where you pick up the play action, as long as the football hits the net right before your out on the timeline. Then you can set your out on the source footage exactly where you want it, and now you have 3 points set - the in and out on the timeline, and the out on the source footage, so when you overwrite it to the timeline, it will place the end of the source scene where you wanted and fill backwards to the in point back on measure 16.

I have been trying to download ios8. I dont remember exactly what happened but at some point I ended up unplugging my phone from my computer because there was an error. Every since then it has not been turning on or responding to iTunes.
When it does respond to iTunes it tells me that I have to restore my phone. I click restore and it says "Extracting Software". It gets all the way to the end and then says that there is an error; something about a disk being full?
I have no idea what is going on and I could really use some help.
Thanks.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

So what exactly does limited to "one app" mean with a Pro account and the new prices?

So it seems Pro has dropped in price but it is now limited to "one App".
So what exactly does that "one App" mean?
Only one tablet version or one phone version for a certain title?
Or you can have a tablet & phone version including android & iOS for that one title?

I think that everyone received it just now…

What exactly does a new poster have to do to get permission to post images?

Recently there was a forum update that disabled new posters to add images
(AND links?) Supposedly this was to reduce spam. So far so good.
Not surprisingly, immediately after the update we have numerous posts in the Forums Issues forum complaining about this feature and no doubt plenty of users just submitting to this policy in silence.
This whole feature is a SEVERE (that's right. bold AND in caps) hindrance. I don't have the stats, but I'm sure a considerable percentage of
(non spam) original posts are from new users with no previous forum activity. Pictures are especially important in the Chart Control forum as visualization is what charting is all about.
(This is the forum I frequent. So yes, I'm biased.)
Ofcourse, I'm sure the forum developers have weighed the pros and cons and studied the stats and then decided what to do after serious consideration...
The question is: What exactly does a new poster have to do to get permission to post images? Wait for how long? Reply to a confirmation email? "Participate" more?
(Say it ain't so.) How much more?
If there really is a workaround by adding an image tag with the edit html button, I don't want to hear it. It's as silly a way to add images as in the before times, the long long ago.
(Also, if this is possible, this whole restriction feature is actually worse than useless. Spammers will exploit this sooner than later. (A very good point made by our dear friend Quincy in a post that has since been deleted it
seems.))

I believe answering that question defeats the purpose of having the "feature".
I suspected as much.
I was hoping to add some explanation to the chart forum FAQ, I guess "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
(if this really is the only message new posters get) will have to do.
I still feel this is more of a hindrance to the quality of the forums than not. As confirmed it seems by Naomi, spammers already have a workaround.
Sipla, it sounds like we should add this FAQ to this article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7359.forums-help-faq-en-us.aspx
What do you suggest?
What does the message say to the user who cannot post links and images yet? We should map to that language.
Thanks!
Ed Price (a.k.a User Ed), SQL Server Customer Program Manager (Blog,
Twitter,
Wiki)
It says "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
If this means you will get a verify email, then you should get a verify email. The message infers that either action will be taken by the forum mods that will be apparent to the user or that the user needs to take some sort of action.
If this is not the case, the wording needs to be changed; it should not mislead you. This is an incredibly vague status message.
I do not have any record of a verify email in my inbox history. All I have is an email this morning from MSDN Site Support (I also posted a request yesterday in MSDN Site Feedback) asking me which account I needed verified. I only have one account.
Almost immediately after I replied, I was able to post links and photos. Honestly I do not know which came first though, the "verification" or my reply to the email or someone noticing the thread about compaining about it a month after signing up.

Sequence to Sequence 3 point edit

I am a FCP Newbie, Avid long time lover.
FCP is nice, but has it's moments.
These forums are great.
I have been working on a project now for two months and have learnt from the manuals and the "FCP for Avid editors" PeachpitPress book (a god send).
My question is this,
I hate the FCP subclip function so I prefer to go through my cutaway tapes and create a sequence that has all the best shots.
This way I can pre-create short sequences of shots, and save time wading through wilds when cutting.
I set F9 & F10 to "insert sequence content" and "overwrite sequence content" so that I don't end up with sequences in sequences when I final cut.
All goes well when I edit, except for three point edits.
FCP can't load sequences into the timeline from the Viewer (Avid has this handy feature so you can easily edit from one seq to another, and make navigating through footage easier!),
so I load a seq into the viewer, scrub to a clip I want,
and press 'mark clip'.
I see that it has marked the in and out for my selected clip; good.
Then I go to my timeline and find where I want the shot to END
(sometimes I know where a cutaway should end, rather then a start point),
so I mark the end point.
Next I press overwrite,
Now I would expect the shot to lay nicely where I marked an end.
But it does not,
it rather inserts ALL the shots from the viewer sequence (from the in point to the end of it's sequence), and it puts them at the start of my timeline!
Am I doing something wrong?
Has anyone found a way to make FCP behave with three point edit from seq to seq?

this is a circuitous way to work in FCP.
How so?
I am interested in a simpler or faster way of working with cutaways and footage.
I am working on documentaries with 10s of hours of unscripted footage.
There is base voiceovers and interviews that need to be covered with cutaways and recreations.
I spend time watching all the footage and found that if I break it into subclips it turns into bins full of 100s of subclips.
So I have to label each one to differentiate them.
This takes a long time to give each one a different title.
Or I could look at the small thumbnails, but then inevitably it shows the wrong frame or doesn't give me an idea of what movement it contains.
Loading each into the viewer to view them is slow going when I could just scrub through a sequence timeline of good shots.
Mini-select timelines allow me to create much fewer clips in a bin to view.
I name the sequence as to what cutaways they refer.
And again I can pre-create small sequences, or place them in an order that is not alphabetical.
I find the subclip limits annoying very often.
When I am breaking up my wilds I select the exact duration of a clip that looks nice
(I can fairly well spot how long a shot looks good before it misses it's target, or doesn't suit the style of edit).
But sometimes I need to extend it, or often add dissolves in the sequence in one of the many tweaking stages of editing; subclip limits are really annoying then.
Is there a way to always remove subclip limits when they are inserted in a sequence?

Insufficient content for edit, four point editing, ignore out point on source

Hello folks,
I'm a long time FCP 7 and Avid editor currently using 8.2 for two short form museum films and have been running into all sort of questions. This one comes up multiple times a day. I tried to search for this here but didn't find my exact issue or answers.
I am trying to do a four point edit and I keep getting the "Insufficient Content for Edit" error. My source is marked in and out for 5 sec and my timeline in and out is marked for 8 sec. Four points total. I have already checked the Ignore Source Out point in the Fit Clip window and have checked the "Remember" box as well. My source definitely have enough footage to fill the marked 8 sec in the timeline. So why isn't PP ignoring the source out point when I commit the edit? Of course, I works properly if I go to the Source window and remove the out point manually but that's a pain and shouldn't be the way. Is PP not capable of this? or Am I doing something wrong? What is the point of the "Ignore Source Out Point" if it doesn't apply to this very common situation?
Thanks for any help you folks can offer.
CHL

I think I know what the issue is.
When the Fit Clip dialog opens for me and the source is shorter than the destination, "Ignore Source In Point" and "Ignore Source Out Point" are grayed out. In other words, when the source is shorter than the destination, my only option is to ignore sequence in or out points.
If my source is longer than my destination then it allows me to check ignore source in or out. However, if I have Premiere remember this choice, when I try to insert a source clip that is shorter than the destination, I get the error that you get.
It's obviously a terrible setup and shouldn't be like this, but that's why it's happening.

What exactly is happening in the code mentioned?????

Hi all,
I want to know the working of the below code:
The below code is the WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED Trigger for the ENTER_QUERY (Push Button):
DECLARE
IT_ID1 ITEM;
IT_ID2 ITEM;
IT_ID3 ITEM;
BEGIN
IT_ID1 := FIND_ITEM('BUTTON.EN_QUERY');
IT_ID2 := FIND_ITEM('BUTTON.CA_QUERY');
IT_ID3 := FIND_ITEM('BUTTON.EX_QUERY');
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(IT_ID3,ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
if :system.mode<>'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
   set_item_property (it_id1,label,'CANCEL QUERY');
   GO_BLOCK(GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURRENT_FORM_NAME));
   CLEAR_BLOCK(NO_VALIDATE);
   ENTER_QUERY;
set_item_property (it_id1,label,'ENTER QUERY');
ELSE
EXIT_FORM;
END IF;
END;
Can You please tell me what exactly is happening in the above code?
I want to know the working of it. Help me plz.
Thank You.
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Oracle Forms 6i.

what does if :system.mode<>'ENTER-QUERY' THEN mean??
SYSTEM.MODE indicates whether the form is in Normal, Enter Query, or Fetch Processing mode. The value is always a character string.
and what does GO_BLOCK(GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURRENT_FORM_NAME)); do?
GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY Returns information about the current Oracle Forms application. CURRENT_FORM_NAME Returns the name of the current form as indicated by the form module Name property.
GO_BLOCK navigates to an indicated block. If the target block is non-enterable, an error occurs.
As per the code, After i press the button, the label ENTER QUERY should become CANCEL QUERY, (that is when system is in ENTER_QUERY mode) .
So when in the system is in ENTER_QUERY mode, it must display CANCEL QUERY, Right??
in your post, you also said..
The below code is the WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED Trigger for the ENTER_QUERY (Push Button):
We see 3 button in your code. How can we know which one is ENTER_QUERY button. Your code says...
ENTER_QUERY;
set_item_property (it_id1,label,'ENTER QUERY');
So, it says.. BUTTON.EN_QUERY label will be ENTER QUERY
Then why the code, (if :system.mode<>'ENTER-QUERY' THEN set_item_property (it_id1,label,'CANCEL QUERY');) ?? which says if system mode is not equal to ENTER_QUERY,
then it tells to display CANCEL QUERY.
it says.. BUTTON.EN_QUERY label will be CANCEL QUERY

What exactly do I do with my old iPhone to keep it as an iPod?

I got my 3g phone yesterday, replacing my original iPhone. I also got a new phone number as I just recently moved out of state. Both phones have a sim card in them. No problems at all so far with the new one. It synced from my old phone just fine.
My question is what exactly to do with the old one? Since it was deactivated it still works fine minus the phone, but I've not tried to sync it. I did not update to 2.0.1 prior to deactivating it. I understand I won't be able to do updated or a restore in the future. But do I leave the old sim card in it or take it out before I sync it? I'm not sure if that will make a difference or not. Any tips or help appreciated.
Steven

You don't need to do anything to the old phone to use it as a Touch. You can continue to sync with the old SIM still in the phone but to do any updates you would need to reactivate the phone.

Want to know what exactly is flow control in odi

Hi Experts
I want to know what exactly is flow control in odi.can anybody explain with an example.i have created a simple interface ie using contol append km .in this both the tables are in one data server ie in different schemas.in this interface i have set the flow control as false.in what circumstances we will use this flow control.
Regards
sree

Hi Sree,
Couple of points u need to aware.
There are two ways of Constraint checking in ODI (PK, FK, Condition, NOT NULL etc) using CKM.
FLOW_CONTROL: If u enable this in ur IKM all the constraints checking will be done at I$ table (before target table loading).
STATIC_CONTROL: If u enable this in ur IKM all the constraints checking will be done at TARGET table (after target table loading). In this case u need to DISABLE the constraint first and once STATIC_CONTROL is done then u need to ENABLE it.
So all the violated/errored record will be moved to E$ table in both approach.
Makes sense?
Thanks,
Guru

What exactly is the appId in getApplicationPolicy() ?

I need some explanation what exactly appid is in the following method:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e14650/oracle/security/jps/service/policystore/PolicyStore.html#getApplicationPolicy_java_lang_String_
ApplicationPolicy getApplicationPolicy(java.lang.String appId)Is it the name of application which access policy store? or Application's stripe id?
The reason I' asking is that we have multiple applications, e.g. app1, app2 etc. however, we've merged the policies into one stripe in policy store. one set of policies under this stripe are used by all of applications. in this case, should I pass each application name as appid or the stripe name when calling this method?
Thanks

But pre-ordering it just makes you want it more. If I got it a day earlier, say, or perhaps something else then I would pre-order it now.
What they did with James album was a really cool idea, if you buy it before a certain date you get first shot at concert tickets when they come out. Handy thing to have if you are a fan.
Sadly though the album didn't really grab me on 30 second sample and they are not touring near where I live anyway.

Three Point Edit not working correctly :(

Hi there,
first of all I'd like to say thank you Adobe for listening to your users. And I hope this one gets noticed right away....:
It appears that 3 point editing ist not working correctly.
Right now I'm editing a video and I heavily rely on 3 point editing.
I have quite a lot XDCAM EX 50i clips which are all in one sequence that is used as source.
Coming from tape workflows I really don't like clicking clip after clip...I need to edit
Now fortunately one can choose to either have a sequence as source edited in nested or as individual tracks. Very nice!
Very bad is that 3 point editing only works when "nested" is activated. Again, very bad!
As soon as I want to use my source sequence with its individual tracks and hit (.) or (,) just nothing happens. Hmpf!
Come on guys, that is essential editing stuff, not fancy speech detection blabla...sorry but this is mega-annoying right now....
It says "Pro" right after "Premiere". So please make it pro! Professionals need ROCK SOLID essential functions.
Make us editors happy having switched from Avid/FCP etc.
Make essential stuff rock solid. That's what makes an app "pro".
Cheers and please mind my harsh words. Just a little upset right now. (I know that's not pro either )

Hi bmfm,
I think I know what's going on. The behavior you describe happens when you try to edit back into your original sequence. Can try making a new sequence to cut your selects into? See the page in help for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/edit-sequences-loaded-source-monitor.html
Thanks,

What is the easier way to edit a captured slide?

I have created a demonstration animation and there are several slides that need a little graphics editing.
So far, I have not found a way to automate the process of editing slides.
The only method I can determine is by selecting "Copy Background", then opening a graphics editor, pasting to a new window, edit accordingly, save the edited graphic background, import into the slide.
Isn't there anyway to edit inline?.. meaning, the background is automatically sent to your choosen graphics editor, you edit the graphic, click save/exit, and the graphics background is automatically updated. That is how Captivate 4's competitors do it.

Hi Shawn
It really depends on what exactly you need to do. For example, if all you want is an easy way to blot out some words, use a Highlight Box object at zero percent transparency. Then merge it into the background. Or maybe you need an image added in. Add the image separately and merge it.
Last week we needed to render an option button as unselected. In that case I just right-clicked and opened in Microsoft Paint. Duplicated another and overlaid the errant one. Closed and saved. Total update time from start to finish was less than two minutes.
Cheers... Rick

Problems running basic text in aftereffects faster than 19fps... what exactly do I need?

OK, so I finaly upgraded my computer into the mild 21st century, and to my disapointment, I cannot seem to run anything as smoothly as I had thought.
These are the specs for my computer...
ASUS m5a99x EVO motherboard
8 gigs ddr3 1600 ram
NVIDIA 9800gt 1 gig ddr3 gpu
AMD Phenom II x4 B50 Processor at 3.2ghz (IE its an AMD athlon II 450 X3 3.2ghz with its fourth core unlocked (of which i have had no problems with thus far, as it seems to be very stable)
150 gig 7200 sata 2 harddrive (OLD)
200 gig 5400 sata 2 hard drive (OLD AS SH*T)
300ghz portable usb2 hd (7200) (2 years old)
Basicly, I cant seem to run even basic text in after effects faster than 19 FPS.
I've tried to change the resolution to half, and even a fourth, and that didnt work at all, infact it made it run about 1 frame worse.
I tried changing the Open gl texture memory, raising and lowering, but to no avail, Ive changed the ram usage in after effects to use 2 gigs per core, then one gig, then turned off multiframe rendering alltogether, and nothing.
I feel like ive tried everything in my power.
Now the Imacs at my school, they run the program smooth as hell... and they arent that much better, spec wise than my computer.
Even my friends Imac can run it smooth, and he only has an I5 cpu at 2.4ghz, which is fine and my understanding of cpus is that those are better proccessors, but its not that much better, and even still, why would that be neccesary just to run text scrolling accross the screen?
Even more so, why would changing the resolution not have any effect?
What exactly do I need to run after effects smoothly for a basic text scroll at say, 720P?
I need to know what to upgrade, soon I plan to get cs6 and I would like to have a computer that can edit basic HD properly.
What I realy dont get is that I know people with laptops that are running AE smoothly and these are much worse than the specs on my machine, some even with only 4 gigs of ram...
Is there something wrong, do I have some sort of frame limiter thats capping at 19 fps? is there some sort of memory leak?
Any help would be much apreciated.
Now the only thing I can think of thats holding me back is the crappy hard drives, every thing else seems like it should at least run text on after effects at 30 fps.

thanks, that at least is enough to get me started, lol I have a deadline tomorrow and have been burning a lot of time on just trying to get this to run smooth.
BTW, I am running the project off of the portable, I switched from the old, but faster harddrive that was sata2 to the portable given I thought that might increase the speed, which it didnt.
what I might do is crack the case and just plug it straight into the computer, though I am hesitant to do so as if I were going to do that, I might as well just purchase a usb 3.0 one and do that so i can get sata 3 out of it, since those cases dont exactly just snap back together.
When I say basic text, I mean layered text, just word after word in order. I honestly dont have any plugins that I know of, (if I had the money for them I would have spent it on a better computer probably) so what I have is what came with the master collection.
And when I say 19 FPS I mean spacebar...
NOW I KNOW, that Im not garunteed 30 fps when running the preview, but when I use the mac, it previews fine... and i just looked up my CPU in comparison to the I5 in the IMAC that I was refering to, and mine is actualy faster according to some benchmarks, granted its not faster than the vast majority of I5s and I7s, but the particular ones in the computers I was refering to, mine is actualy faster over all, so I figure its not a CPU thing (unless its a -our software only works right on INTEL- thing).
Now as far as the 3d camera, yes I am using it, but even when I run the text without a camera function (ie the thing that you have in your comp) or any sort of 3d layering it runs just as slow.
The Audio might be a problem, I used to have a soundcard, but that died about a year ago so I have been using onboard sound (realtek HD something) which truly sucks in comparison to a proper sound card, but I cant imagine the IMACs have anything better, I mean the sound from the Imac kinda sucks alltogether, dosent even have any sort of virtual surround... But a driver issue it could be, realtek is kind of ghetto in that regard.
I will try some of the tips above (the open gl and the preview output and such), and thank you very much.
*EDIT*
OK, so with the preview output, I have computer monitor only? is that what you ment?
*EDIT*
OK, so I did the OpenGL thing, removed it, and for a brief few secconds, it started to run at a mix of 25 to 30 fps, then, when I went to play it again, it was back at 19.

What exactly is the purpose of Synchronization Frequency?

After I read "What is Synchronization Frequency " here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb809047.aspx, and "What is a recovery point" here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb809164.aspx, I still have some doubts in what exactly Synchronization Frequency's purpose is, if it can't be used to recover
data. Let me ask my question by using the following example.
Say in a file protection group I setup 3 recovery points in a day, at 9AM, 12PM, and 3PM. And I setup my Synchronization Frequency as "every 1 hour". Below is what happens at each hour, in the morning:
8AM: synchronization
9AM: *recovery point
10AM: synchronization
11AM: synchronization
12PM: *recovery point
So my questions are:
Q1. What are the synchronizations taken place at 10AM and 11AM for? Are they simply making the recovery point creation at 12PM to complete quicker, becuase DPM server only need to sync changes in an hour (between 11
and 12), instead of in 3 hours (between 9 and 12, if no synchronization was configured between each recovery point) ?
Q2. I read from the article that at each synchronization, changes are transferred to DPM server and then
applied to the replica. However, it did not create a recovery point.
So, what would be the difference difference if I chose 15 minutes or
Just before a recovery point, as my Synchronization Frequency interval? I mean by doing sync's more frequently, I am still getting only 3 recovery points in a day. Then why do I want to sync it more frequently?
If my server crashed at 9:50, but the synchronization took place at 9:45
is not a recovery point and can't be used to recover data, why would I want to sync it every 15 minutes?

Hi,
So i'll post my answer for your 2 questions.
A1. The point of having synchronization every hour instead of before a recovery point is to spread the transfer during the day so that the data transferred at the time of the RP is smaller and then quicker. You had that point right.
A2. A Synchronization doesn't create a RP but just in case you can create one if needed.
Let's say,the RP are created a 7AM, 12PM and 3PM.
The synchronization occurs at 9.45 and the server crashes at 9.55. At first you will only have the last RP to recover (the 7AM one). But in the console you can create a recovery point without synchronizing based on the replica you have on the server (which
is updated each time there is a sync happening).
Then you'll have only your synchronization interval to be loss at max.

What Exactly Is A 3 Point Edit?
