What is best workflow for D200 in light of no new news

I have been shooting my D200 with JPEG and still switching between it and my D100 back. With ACR and Aperture still not reading D200 raw (the Nikon plugin is not that appealing)I have downloaded Bibble 4.5. Does a nice job, but do I need PRO? I would manual/batch into an aperture folder with an import folder action.
I want to create WB adjusted files, I suppose 16bit TIFFs would be best(??), and then manage the rest in Aperture with occasional heavy editing or compositing being done in CS2.
Are there other ideas?
Thank you.
Michael

That is exactly what I do, only I simply do a batch export in auto mode from my raw converter and then use Aperture to tweak white balance as needed. It works quite well. SO really anything you can throw D200 RAW files at and get a 16-bit TIFF out with good quality of detail will work well.
I don't have a D200 but your workflow should be the same.

  • What's best workflow for adding subtitle to existing dvd?

    We have been requested to add a foreign language subtitle to an existing dvd. It was authored in DVDSP so we have the original files. The translators are requesting a QT or dvd with window dub of the timecode for timing. How would I do that if the assets are already encoded and in the DVDSP timeline?
    Also, the project is setup on 5 tracks, many short chapters in each. Because the cost for translation is per file, it means we pay the minimum charge for each track which ends up being double than if we would have kept all the files on a single track. Other than re-authoring the dvd is there another way to do this and save the money. If I get a stl or son file of a long video stream can that file be broken into separate files for each of the tracks? Also looking for a better workflow for the future.

    Take the file you used in Compressor to make the mpeg and make a mov file h.264 I believe will maintain the timecode.

    No.

    Not without a lot of work.

  • What's best workflow for Keynote iMovie iDVD Burning

    I create a slideshow in Keynote each year for our 5th graders.  I then export as a QT movie and import it into iMovie to add chapters markers, titles, credits, etc.  I then export as a QT movie again to pull into iDVD.  I then add Menu's and then burn to a dvd.
    It seems like a lot of re-encoding.  It gets encoded coming out of Keynote, then again coming out of iMovie, then yet again when creating the DVD out of iDVD.
    Is this the proper workflow or is there something else that I should be doing? 
    By the way, which is best codec to export the video?  There's multiple choices when exporting from Keynote and then the same choices when exporting from iMovie.  Is there an ideal codec when the ultimate product is a standard-definition DVD?
    I'm running iWork '09 and iLife '11.

    You should be able to use the same encoding for out of Keynote and for all editing in iMovie and then out of iMovie so the only additional transcoding should be the final mpg-2 encoding in iDVD which actually creates a DVD.

  • What is best workflow for interpret NTSC footage into PAL project?

    Premier Pro CC cutting a film for HD broadcast TV. Majority of footage shot PAL at 1080p, so I made a 1920 x 1080 25p project. Is it okay to make a progressive project for broadcast? Or should I switch to interlaced?
    I am supposed to deliver an NTSC tape to the network.
    Some footage is 29.97 and 23.97.  Is it okay to Interpret footage in bin as 25p PAL and then cut it into my sequence.  It seems to play properly; I'm just concerned about problems in the final output. I've read that people duplicate the clip, then interpret to 25fps PAL, and leave the original NTSC alone.  This sounds like a good idea. Working on a MacBook Pro Mountain Lion.
    When I output the final QT movie, what are the best settings and codec to use for the final
    Hi-Res output which I will bring on a drive to a post house to do final CC and layback to tape?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • What is the best workflow for Final Cut Pro X across multiple computers?

    I travel on a team that is in a different location every week, so all of our video editing has to be fairly moble. We have 3 macbook pros and would like to use final cut X on all of them. What would be the best workflow for us all to work on the same project and sync it across the computers? (eg, one of us editing the footage, one editing the sound, one working on visual effects?)

    My first question would be how well 5.1 would work with SL. People have reported problems.
    As far as cameras are concerned, I would guess most any tape-based camera would work and so much depends on the kind of projects you work on that I wouldn't want to start guessing at your needs.
    If you want broad access to tapeless and advanced formats try to locate and purchase an upgrade disk to 6 or 7.
    Good luck.

  • What's best practice for logging messages in pageflow?

    What's best practice for logging messages in pageflow?
    Workshop complains when I try to use a Log4J logger by saying it's not serializable. Is there a context similar to JWSContext that you can get a logger from?
    There seems to be a big hole in the documentation on debug logging in workflows and JSP pages.
    thanks,
    Rodger...

    Make the configuration change in setDomainEnv.cmd. Find where the following variable is set:
    LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE
    and change it to your desired path.
    In your Global.app class, instantiate a static Logger like this:
    transient static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Global.class);
    You should be logging now as long as you have the categories and appenders configured properly in your log4j.xml file.

    What is the best workflow for the following--
    I have a project where I want to do some work on my laptop, then work on the desktop, then back to the laptop?
    As a video guy, in Final Cut I do this by having two identical copies of my media, and simply transferring the FCP project file back and forth between the two computers.
    Is there an equivalent in Aperture of transferring your selections/edits between two copies of Apeture with the original master files on both in identical projects?

    I don't know what you mean by "bandwidth options". If you mean the frequencies and bands the iPad can use with cell carriers, those are listed in the Wireless and Cellular area of the tech specs. For iPads sold in the US, see:

  • Best workflow for colour grading in CS5.5

    What is the best workflow for colour grading in Premiere Pro CS5.5? I don't like the 3 way colour grader in Premire I like to use Levels and Curves, so I normaly use Color Finese 3 LE in After Effects but it's hard to export an entire timeline to AE due to it not improting transitions and title text correctly.
    I see in CS6 there is now Speed Grade available from Premiere Pro. can you export your entire timeline into Speed grade and it retain your titles and trasitions?
    So how are most folks colour grading their finished timelines in Premire Pro?
    Kevin

    If I can CC in Pr, I will. What prevents me from staying in Pr is if I need to do a lot of masking, secondary type corrections.  Ae is better for that, IMO.
    I guess my general rule is, "The more love I need to put on my footage, the more likely it is I'll need to take the project to Ae."
    When I do CC in Pr, my tools of choice are RGB Curves (which is CUDA friendly, and I have a CUDA card) for CC, and I use Three-Way or Fast CC mostly for increasing saturation.  I leave the other controls alone.
    The advantage to doing CC in Pr, is the CUDA accelleration.  If you use CUDA effects, you can work a lot faster, due to less rendering.  Once you go to Ae, you lose CUDA, but you gain flexibility.  Therefore, there's not a single one-size-fits-all answer.
    I also have a lot more available plugs in Ae.  I like Frischluft Curves, which is an oustanding curves based plug.  And the native Hue/Saturation effect in Ae is extremely useful for single hue corrections.  Pr doesn't have a similar native effect.
    And then as a last step, after getting all my corrections "evened out," I'll add Magic Bullet Looks to an adjustment layer for an overall treatment.
    I only opened SpeedGrade once after installing it.  I don't see why anybody would use it, unless they were already familiar with it.  You can't go back to Pr easily.  And in my world, projects are rarely finished.  Clients think they can make massive changes at any stage of post, even after mastering and delivery.  I've had clients make changes to spots after they've been airing for several days.  I laugh at editors who name anything "final."

  • Best Workflow for Multicam Sequences?

    I have a project that includes video from 2 cameras and audio from 2 audio recorders. I synced everything up using PluralEyes, then imported it back into Premiere. Then I opened the synced sequence, deleted the camera audio, nested the video, and enabled multicam. After that, I started going through and editing the multicam footage by selecting the appropriate camera by pressing 1 or 2 (or command-clicking on the appropriate camera in multicam view). My question is, now that I've synced everything up and finished my rough multicam edits, how do I mark the selections of the sequence that I would like to keep?
    For example, part of the sequence is an interview. Instead of just cutting the sequence up, I would like to first mark and label the portions of the interview that I would like to keep. That way I can easily go through and know what the interviewee is speaking about in each clip without having to play the whole thing. I understand that to do this on the original clips in the source monitor, I would need to create subclips. But how do I do it on a synced multicam sequence? Is there a way to open the sequence in the source monitor? What's the best workflow for something like this?
    I've been using Premiere for all of two days (switched from FCPX), so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    I use comment markers for this sort of thing as I prefer to keep my project bins thin. To open a sequence in the source monitor, right-click on the sequence in the project window and select Open in Source Monitor. Position the play head at a point of interest and press M. Go to Window>Markers to view a list of markers and add comments. When you want to review a marked section click the corresponding marker in the marker window and the play head will advance to that point. Btw, you can do this within the timeline and in any monitor, not just the source monitor.

  • Best workflow for doing a QC check?

    Hi all,
    A client wants me to do a technical QC check on video files I receive before editing them. The items they want checked are as follows:
    o   File format (GOP structure, bitrate, wrapper, codec, chroma subsampling)
    o   Macro blocking
    o   Artefacts induced during transfer from VT, frame rate conversion, size or bitrate conversion
    o   Field dominance issues
    o   Chroma/luminance levels
    o   Aspect ratio discrepancies
    o   Flashing/strobing
    o   Frame slicing
    o   Audio levels to EBUR128 recommendation.
    o   Wide dynamic range
    o   Audio distortion, clipping, phasing and dc offset etc
    Most of these are fine, as they can be spotted during manual playback. But what would be the best workflow for monitoring the Chroma/luminance levels? I figured I could turn on the YC waveform and play the clip back through a monitor - but the main issue is keeping an eye on both the picture & the waveform at the same time.
    Can the scopes be set to give me a indication/alarm when a specified peak occurs? The same way audio does when it clips, where you get a red dot on top of the level meter?
    And is there anything else Im overlooking?
    Thanks in advance - cheers!

    Thanks shooternz,
    The client has specifically requested each file be QC checked. They will be delivering files to us for editing, which will be broadcast after we return the files.
    So we need to manually watch each video we receive to check for any audio peaking or pixelation/slicing/artefacts, etc, that may have occured during the enciode - but I'm just wondering if the YC waveform can be set to raise an alarm or "peak" if the video file goes outside of legal limits at any stage. We will be viewing the video file - so it'll be awkward to also have to try to watch the YC waveform too, so hoping that part can be automated via a 'peak alarm' or similar!

  • Best Workflow for Deleting?

    Hi Folks.
    Would anyone like to suggest the best workflow for deleting files after a project? Let's assume that i have no future need for any of the captured footage or PE7 files. It would be helpful to know what the default locations are for all the footage and files that are now on my computer.
    Thanks, Stan

    In my book I recommend that, whenever you start a new project, you create a new folder for it. That way, all of your captured video, project files, rendered video and scratch files are in the same folder. Removing it all from your hard drive is as simple as deleting the folder.
    If you didn't do that, things get a bit more complicated. Once you've backed up what you want to keep, you can manually delete the captured video, rendered files, etc., from the sub-folders -- but you'll need to do it manually. Hopefully the files will be recognizable by the names you gave your project and capture files when you created them.

  • Best workflow for burning Blu-ray and DVD

    Hi,
    What's the best workflow for effciency sake for burning both a Blu-ray and a DVD of the same project?
    Essientially I'd like to export and create a menu once, then be able to downrez to DVD. However, I'm not sure that is possible since blu-ray and DVD are differnt codecs.  
    Thank you

    The only way that you can get acceptable re-scaling of menus is to go from BR to DVD, and do the editing in Photoshop.  Simply re-scaling the menu here will not give acceptable results.
    I usually copy the various button layers from the BR menu to a new DVD menu file created using the provided Photoshop preset.  You will still have to do  some manual re-scaling and alignment.  The thing that has given me the most trouble over the years is round button highlights - a segment is often chopped off.  Font sizes will probably need adjusting too.
    Unless you are adept with handling layers and groups within Photoshop, it may be easier to start again.
    Any attempt to convert within Encore is unlikely to produce acceptable menus in my experience.

  • Best workflow for creating games for pc and starling games in AIR

    best workflow for creating games for pc and starling games in AIR.
    I need to develop for tablets with starling and AIR as well as for pc without starling ie: downloading from a server.
    In starling you have to
    1. instantiate starling
    2. use texture atlases for loading graphic assets - well its the recommended way
    3. use juggler
    etc...
    ie: with all these differences is it best to:
    1. create completely different projects
    2. just create different classes for the starling specific parts
    3. use a conditional compile constant
        eg: CONFIG::STARLING
                "then do this"
    or      CONFIG::CPU
              "then do this"
    I currently have the latter but it feels a little messy. I would prefer separate classes for each platform where the image loading is concerned.
    There must be so many game developers out there but in large gaming companies that know exactly what to do. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction with a book or something.
    CHEERS

    The other thing is that I can't see the games being very different as you suggest. I have downloaded Lee Brimelows tut on creating a starling game on Lynda.com and the code is great for creating games using states for menu, play, gameover etc... The only difference is that he uses texture atlas and there is a great difference in loading them etc... so technically you would only need to handle them in a different class as collision and the rest of game play should be the same in both. I think!!!
    Well, actually not exactly but near enough - maybe it might be easier to create separate projects and just cut and paste the new code introduced.

  • What is best filter for MacBook Pro

    What is best filter for my son's MacBook Pro to block adult/**** sites while allowing access to most anything else. The parental control I set up has not been the answer.  I constantly have to unlock sites for him.  I would appreciate any suggestion.

    If the options on the computer itself are not sufficient, you might try other options like OpenDNS Home, but it also involves a list that might need to be customized.
    In the end, the best defense is passing down a strong set of values so that when your son does visit the "wrong" site (as he inevitably will, and increasingly so into adulthood) he at least has an innate knowledge that he shouldn't be there.
