What is the optimal way to go about capturing - offline or online?

Hi every one
Are there advantages and disadvantages of offline and online capturing? And what is the role of EDL in that regard? What's EDL anyway? Best, Faruk.

First: if you don't know what an EDL is yet, you don't need one. It is "Edit Decision List" and can be found in the manual by searching those words.
There are 3 primary reasons I know of for offlining:
- you can capture more media at a lower data rate, fitting more on your system. Less of a concern in this day of cheaper storage.
- you can use a codec that is easier to work with on your system (such as DV) to make your edit decisions for a more demanding codec such as HDV, DVCProHD, or various uncompressed formats.
- you are sending your project to somebody else through an EDL, XML, or FCP project, and the media will need to be recaptured anyway.
If you don't need these features you will be happiest by capturing all your media as you intend to use it.

  • Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
    Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
    Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
    Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
    How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
    A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • Hi I would like to totally reformat my Macbook Pro. What is the best way to go about it?

    I have a Macbook Pro and would like to do a complete reformat. I installed Moutain Lion when it came out and do not wish to pay again since I've already paid. I have OS 10.6.4 discs with me which didnt come with my MB but with my previous one. What is the best way to go about it? I have bootcamp and wish to get rid of it (one of the many reasons of wanting to reformat)
    Thanks

    You can use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Bootcamp Partition  - best way to do it.
    If you use the Recovery Disk Assistant to create a recovery usb thumbdrive you can boot to that and repartition the MacHd and reinstall the OS directly.
    When you purchase the OS you are free to reinstall without repurchasing as long as yo have access tot he Apple Id you used to make the purchase

  • What is the best way to go about getting a wireless connection on the go?

    Im new to the aple product. I just recently bought a New Macbook Pro and wanted to know what is the best way to go about connecting to the internet while not at home and on the go. I was thinking of maybe a USB internet stick. But dont know who provides them and who would be the best choose to go with for a nice price every month. If that was the best choose in the first place. Im living in the U.S.A so if you could help ill really apprecaite it. THANKS

    Hi! I'm writing in beginning of October so I don't know if you've found a solution.
    Your MacBook Pro probably has a WiFi card built in. You don't need to have a USB connector.
    Turn on AirPort, go to Network and choose the network that is available to you. It might ask for a password, so get it from the cashier. My MBP connects wherever I go, as long as there is a network available.
    Good luck.

  • I have 21,000  photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive.  What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

    I have 21,000  photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive.  What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

    Here's one way to do what you want:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

    Do you already have the phone, or are you planning on getting the phone.
    You could sign up for a free workshop at one of your local Verizon stores. You could read the owners manual. You could peruse thru the topics on THIS Verizon site.
    I thought there was a thread which gave a bunch of tips/tricks for the GSIII, but I can't seem to find it. There IS one for the Galaxy Note II which MAY be helpful with the GSIII, though.

  • What's the best way to go about migrating a full server instance in iWS 4.1 to a virtual server in 6.0?

    We are migrating from iplanet web server 4.1 to iws6.0 on solaris 2.6. Migrating from instance to instance or from virtual server to virtual server is easily done with the migration feature. However, I have some full web server instances in 4.1 that I would like to be virtual servers in 6.0. What is the best way to do this?

    Hi,
    The best possible way is to create a virtual servers in iWS6.x and configure the same, like what you had with 4.1 instance(configuration).

  • With all of the big changes that have gone on with Lion, surely it would have made sense for Apple to have provided how the new commands work? What is the best way to learn about how things have changed?

    Apple has tended in my expereince to provide intuitive software that users can grow to use and admire. Why then does Lion go off at a tangent and become unintuitive and just plain hard work to work out? I run a business and this has caused a lot of time consuming effort particularly when working out how to save files (in certain programs). Like so many products (iPhone being one), there is no guide to the great things that can be done and I just don't have the time to go fishing around online looking for tips and tricks when I've got clients who need things quickly.

  • What's the best way to go about this scenario

    Folks,
    My application is composed of a lot of modules and each of these modules
    both in terms of presentation
    and functionality dynamically changes its behavior based on the context
    associated with the requests. Now I want to offer on top of this an
    Installer, thru which I can dynamically install new modules into my
    application (both presentation and functionality layers), without a need to
    re-start the server. And also install thru the same mechanism
    customizations, which again would require dynamically adding more
    configurations and components to the existing application modules.
    What would be the best way in your experience to do that for the weblogic
    server 6.1 environment?
    thanks,

  • What is the best way to learn about java?

    What is the best and cheapest way to learn java?

    I also am a Newbie to the Java language and am trying to get my head around it. I guess it all depends upon how much experience, and at what level, you have with programming in general. I have a good understanding of what my University tutor called "sequential logical thought" but I must confess this Object Oriented approach is, at first, most odd. However the Sun tutorial :
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/TOC.html
    : is the one I use the most. If I don't understand a specific computing term then I look it up at :
    http://www.webopedia.com/
    : which is a very good online encyclopedia of computing terms.
    There is also :
    http://www.joegrip.com/
    : which is an online "interactive" tutorial (you have to pay)
    I would advise against rushing out and buying a book until you have spent a whole day trolling through the 'net and seeing what it has to offer . There is a lot out there. The problem is wading through all the nonsense until you find what you're looking for.
    Good luck

  • I want to create a TTL pulse. The stepper motor I'm trying to control responds to a high to low edge, when the low pulse width is greater than 0.5 microsecon​ds. What is the best way to go about creating a pulse like this?

    I'm using the NI PCI-6025E card connected to an SCB-100 wiring peripheral. I'm programming the DAQ card using LabVIEW 6.0.2 on a win95 box.
    My first attempt has yielded some surprising results.
    I created a vi with a single while loop set to true. Within that while loop is a two frame sequence. Both frames use the "Write to Digital Line.vi".
    The first frame sets the line in wire to false.
    The second frame sets the line in wire to true.
    The device channel on both frames has been set to my user defined channel nam
    e -> clock.
    clock --> sets the DIO0 channel to be digital write out.
    Using an oscilloscope and some wires I hook ground to the SCB-100's digital ground and I hook the probe to the DIO0 channel. What I see are two different pulses alternating between one another. One has a pulse width of 5ms and the other has a pulse width of about 50ms. You seem to get a grouping of one type of pulse followed by a grouping of the other type of pulse.
    Obviously this is very strange and not what I want. It is also far too slow. So I'd like to know if anyone knows how to do this properly. Remember I only need a low pulse width of 0.5 microseconds.
    Thanks,
    Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
    Scott

    Scott,
    You don't need to use a digital line to create a TTL pulse. The PCI-6025E has two onboard general purpose counters. You can use one of these counters to create a single pulse of the desired pulse width. For an example of how to program the counters on your board, refer to LabVIEW's Search Examples>>I/O Interfaces>>Counters>>Pulse Generation>>DAQ-STC based.
    The advantage of using a counter over the digital line is that it allows you to control the timing of the pulse through hardware and not software. Thus, it is inherently faster, and the timing resolution is more accurate. The counter will count down an internal 20 MHz timebase to create the pulse delay and the pulse width.
    For more information on the hardware capabilities of your board, you can refe
    r to the User Manual online at www.ni.com/manuals.
    Hope this helps.

    Erin
