What font and sizings should I use for pocket magazine?

Hi
I am nearly finished with a 165 x 120mm puzzle magazine but need to play with the font family and sizing so that its best for printing as crisply as possible.
Currently I'm using Helvetica Neue LT Std - 65 Medium, font size 11px (14px), I am thinking about changing to Arial Regular, 9px (11px), but what would be a standand font and size for good printing practice for A5 and smaller booklet/magazines?
Any advice here would be great thanks.

Sounds like you set up for an interactive document rahter than for print in the initial setup. No major harm done. Right-click the squer inthe upper left corner betweenthe rulers and reset the units to inches and see if the type reverts to points, if not, you may be able to change it in the prefs, and failing all there is a 1:1 relationship between px and pt in InDesign.
None of the above has anythign to do with your question about suitability. There's no good reason I can think of to choose Arial over the Helvetica Neue in any size. And I don't think there are any "standards" for how small the type should be. Are you expecting your readers to be older and have difficulty with small type? Will everything that needs to be on the pages fit at 11 pt? I would advise using the larger type, if possible, to help the vision impaired, but I also suggest you print a few pages and look at them in both sizes. Are they readable, or does one look like a sea of gray?

What brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" internal Hard Drive?

what brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" aluminium internal Hard Drive?
can I use WD caviar black?
is it too hot?

If you are replacing the drive because the existing one is faulty, that's one thing. If you just want more space, you should take advantage of having a decently fast and relatively small capacity drive in there now (instead of a huge drive). Get an external FireWire drive and off-load most of your user data there. Make your internal drive dedicated to mostly your OS and app files, with plenty of free space. That setup will make your iMac run more efficiently. I won't go into more detail, because I'm not answered your specific question... You can post back with any questions, if interested...
To answer your questions...
You should be able to use any SATA 3.5-inch drive internally, but you should probably keep it at or under 1TB. The main concerns are power usage and heat dissipation. A drive like the WD Caviar Green would be ideal in terms of power and heat, but they do have slower (or variable) spin rate. I have one as an external drive (750GB) and it is amazingly quiet and cool. If I had to replace the internal drive because the current drive failed, I'd put it inside. I'll trade a bit of pure performance for the efficiency (including low noise), and these drives are more advanced with higher data density and larger cache, so the trade-off from slower spin rate may not be so bad.
You can check your current drive's model number (which is shown in System Profiler) to get the specs online. The stock drive in my old +Late 2006+ iMac is a 7200 RPM drive. The Caviar Black is a 7200 RPM drive, with a newer design. So if you want to use a Caviar Black in there, I think it would be OK.

What frame rate timeline should I use for 1080p 60fps premiere pro

When using 1080p 60fps clips what sequence should I use when creating a timeline that would work the best for slow mo application?
I read that you should use a 24 fps timeline but i'm not sure?
Also I have a few 720 @ 120 fps, should I create a separate sequence for that and what kind of timeline should I use since cs5 only has 1080 @ 60fps option?

24 is a good frame rate for most animations but some people like 30 and for the max stress on user systems and animation smoothness, use 60.

You'll need to be much more specific; there are 20 or 60 different kinds of high definition. Some require nothing, some require superfast RAID, some require specialized hardware support.

What type of DVD should I use for Windows Backup?

I am wanting to do my Windows Backup and I was wondering what type of DVD media I should use. Is it better to use a RW or only R type DVD.
I have an HP Omni 220-1180qd, A5W89AV#ABA, running Win7 64 bit.
I thought I read it can use CD's, DVD's but I want to know which would be the better choice.
Thanks for any help and all help is appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Honestly, an external hard drive would be a better choice. The difference between +R and +R/W is that +R is "Recordable" and +R/W is "Re-Writable". If you intend on making periodic backups, go with an extrernal hard drive... If you intend on making very few backups, consider the DVD+R discs.

What external hdd bus should I use for FCP 7?

Howdy! My colleague and I are editing a film in FCP 7, and media handling has become somewhat, complicated, shall we say. So we decided that we're both going to buy external hard drives, and keep them in synch using something like Super Duper, or Carbon Copy Cloner. I've been doing some research, but I'm still unsure as to what connection I should use? We're both using MacBook Pro's with firewire 800 ports, and USB 2.0 ports (No thunderbolt). Since these drives are going to be used exclusivly for video and audio, how fast of a connection should we have so that the connection doesn't cause a bottle neck? I know that Sata III can do up to 6.0 Gb/s, but I also know that a hard drive can't utilize that much bandwidth. So will USB 2.0 slow it down, or would it be fast enough? Or should I opt for firewire 800?
This is the hard drive I'm looking at getting, and I'll put it in an external encloser:

P.S. is 5200rpm's enough, or should I get 7200rpm?

If you plan to use the drive for editing/rendering media files, you'll need a 7200rpm drive and a Firewire or eSATA connection.
If you're only using the drive for backup purposes or general data storage, USB and 5400rpm will work.

What kind of motor should I use for lifting a heavy load?

I'm working on an automation application in which I need to control a lifting mechanism with heavy load (about 120 lbs). I will be getting constant temperature readings and based on that data I can determine the rate of change of the temperature. If the temperature rate is too fast then I need to be able to slow down the motor, if it is too slow then I need to speed it up. I'm looking for some support with choosing the right motor and hardware so that I have full speed control, while still being able to lift this heavy load, hold the load in a certain position, and then raise the load back to its original position. I was considering a stepper motor for this due to its ability to brake so the load can stabilize. Is this the right call or should I use a continuous servo? Where can I get such a stepper that can handle this type of load and has software that interfaces with LabVIEW? Would I be safe getting low-cost hardware for this application? Any guidance would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your replies to this topic. I just discovered the worm gear option yesterday while talking to a professor. I think that is the route we are going to take because the DC motor won't be as expensive as a high-torque stepper or servo. Also, I have three engineers that will be calculating the motor size based on gear reduction, spool size, cable length, and the load that we have to lift (which is about 120 lbs.). If any of you would like to suggest a motor size, that would be great too. I'm thinking something around 1HP should probably do it. My goal is to stay cost-effective while making an easy apparatus. I know that the worm gears may also be inefficient at times but it seems like the best solution for this application. Not to mention it's not to hard for our mechanical engineers here to make the spool and bearings. And I believe you can buy a DC motor that interfaces directly with a worm gear. However, a follow up question is what computer hardware do I need to control the voltage of the motor so I have speed control? Is this done through an RS232 board? My output from the LabVIEW program will be voltages, from which device is that binary signal converted into physical voltage? Thanks for your help so far.

Question About what Azure Services I should be using for mobile app with website.

Hello,
I am wondering what Azure service would be best for my new application. I need to have an SQL database that I can connect to and modify from both a website and a mobile app preferably WP8 and Android. I was not really understanding whether I would need a
mobile service or normal SQL database. Which should I use or am I completely off track?
Thanks,
Matthias

Mobile Services uses SQL Database, nothing special on that SQL Database, its just like any other "normal" SQL Database.
Mobile Services provides "back-end services" that simplifies accessing SQL Database, Notification services, authentication, etc...
Let's assume you don't use Mobile Services, to use SQL Database, you would need your app (both mobile and web) to connect to the database. In practice, you will not want to expose your SQL database directly, so you'd end-up writing some kind of a "facade"
that your app will access instead of directly connecting to the database.
Instead of writing that "facade", Mobile services provides that for you (you still have to write code though, but less than what you need to write if you're rolling your own).
Both your web app and mobile apps can share the same SQL database (pay attention to the mobile service schema).
To help you decide, ask yourself what other features will your mobile app require? Authentication? Notification? etc... are you prepared to write those on your own or use various libraries instead of one?

What hardware and software should I use to A/V record a piano recital?

If anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated.
Here are more details: I have a MacBook Pro, external FireWire hard drives, access to an HD video camera, and good mics. I'm not worried about the video part, but since this is a piano recital, I need the best possible audio quality, within reason. I was thinking about buying an "Alesis MultiMix 8 FireWire" mixer, and recording all 4 channels I'll need directly onto the computer. What software should I use? What about hardware? There won't be much audio editing afterwards, so I don't exactly need the best editor, just a solid way to record it. Also, how would I mix the audio in with the video to make sure it aligns up properly? Perhaps I should use Final Cut Pro for video and Soundtrack or Logic for recording audio? Thank you for any help you can give me!

The crucial point in piano(any) recording is which microphones you use and where you put them.
I generally have the best results with Schoeps "ORTF Stereo Microphone MSTC 64 U"
http://www.schoeps.de/E-2004/ortf-stereo.html#mstc64
They are pretty expensive so don't buy but rent (or borrow) them. It's not that much for one day.
It's a general way to go for professional recording. Thus you'll always have the best equipement for the lowest cost. Also, the rental shop can be a good help in that they might give you hints for your specific need.
Put the mics at about 1-3 meters from the half open piano(for a concert model). Never inside! Specially if it's piano solo. Distance depends on the hall's acoustics, instrument model, music style etc...
I would record on the camcorder. Some of them have four audio tracks. The audio recorder, whatever audio card, DAT, camcorder ... MUST HAVE XLR inputs and phantom power. You should rent here also.
These are the main points.

Isolate lips--what face paint color should I use for best green screen keying effect?

Hello there! I am using Elements 11.
It sounds like I answered my question in my question. Green, right? But , face paint doesn't have the reflective, glossy quality that a true green screen would have. Does that change anything? Should I look for green face paint or would another color work better in this context?
Again, I'd like to isolate the lips of my subject. The shot will be a close-up, framed to where it only includes lips, chin and nose. Let me know if it'll help to provide a screenshot.
One more question... Once I've removed the background and isolated the lips, is it possible to move them around the frame discretely? Meaning, they appear here in bottom center and then suddenly appear in upper left corner?
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for replying AT!
I am using Mac version. Good question since I do NOT have Chromakey.
To help us along, I have uploaded a number of images from a test I did yesterday.
I am getting some results but they are imperfect.
I do believe my main issue has to do with a lack of uniform LIGHTING. As my subject's lips move, it creates shadows thus making it difficult for Elements to pick up the green.
I used Non-Red Key and then Garbage Matte to get the results that you see.
Thanks!

FAQ: What computer and components should I buy for Premiere Pro or After Effects?

See this page for the official minimum system requirements for Premiere Pro.
See this page for the official minimum system requirements for After Effects.
Note that the minimum system requirements are just that: a minimum to run the software. You will need components that exceed the minimum system requirements to achieve satisfactory performance in many cases.

As David and Hal said
One thing to consider is that you may also want SATA capability (which you can do with G5 towers easily, the dual cores have cards available or will shortly) and also shortly (fingers cross) for the MacBooks (there are cards for PowerBooks.)
The only possible fly in the ointment is if you are going to hold onto these computers for awhile, with the Intel Chips the non-Intels will eventually have less support and software. Though for the short term (particularly if you are relying on non-Intel native apps and need peak performance) the Quad G5s are great.
