What LapTop Spec for Captivate v5.5

Captivate v5.5
Can I call on the collective knowledge of the technical brains reading this.
The laptop I currently use to run Captivate v5.5 is due to be replaced soon.
I know the Adobe gives details of the min PC requirements to run Captivate - but based real hands on working experience, what hardware and specs of hardware etc should I ensure my new PC has to ensure I get the very best from Captivate and dont run into any "resource" issues a little further down the road?
As I have an opportunity to tell my IT people what I need, I want to take the opportunity to get the PC set up "to the max" !
Noel

Hello,
Has anyone else (aside from me) encountered any problem using Captivate 5.5 in a Windows 7 64-bit machine?
I am using a i5 laptop with 4GB RAM. Its just barely a week ago since I migrated from WinXP to Win 7 on the same unit.
I've seen a little difference upon viewing Captivate 5.5 ouputs generated from a Win7 (64-bit) and a WinXP, specially with regards to the closed captions. As I dug around looking for possible reasons, I came across this item posted here:
"Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (Service Pack 3 recommended); Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1; or Windows 7 (certified for 32-Bit editions)"
May I just clarify what would this line mean - "Windows 7 (certified for 32-Bit editions"?
Does this mean Captivate 5.5 may not successfully work with Win 7 64-bit edition?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
- Alvin

Laptop spec for Photoshop cc

I do 90% of my work on a desk top but periodically travel with a lap top to process my pix. My current laptop runs XP (and CS5) so needs to be upgraded for CC. What is a good spec?

Laptops are generally not as good as desktops for Photoshop work, but the need for portability is clear.
The thing I'd recommend is opting up to the most RAM and biggest honkin' SSD you can possibly shoehorn into it.
Windows 8 is not particularly well suited for serious use out of the box, but it can be made into a quite nice desktop-oriented system without a trace of the Metro/Modern debacle or even the Start screen. I've even written a book on how to set it up. I use Win 8.1 myself on my desktop system, and it's pleasant to use and very stable.

PC Laptop specs for Premiere

Hi Guys,
New to the forum. I'll be using Premiere to edit short films and sketches. I'll be using After Effects too. I'm buying a new laptop - a 17.3" Optimus V. Do you think it will run Premiere and the video files fine?
Processor:
Intel Core i7 Quad Mobile Processor i7-4900MQ (2.8GHZ) 8MB
RAM:
24GB Samsung 1600MHZ SODIMM DDR3 Memory (3X8GB)
Graphics:
Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX11
1st Hard-drive:
240GB Kingston V300 SSD, SATA 6GB (450MB/R, 450 MB/W)
2nd Hard-drive:
750GB WD SCORPIO WD7500BPKX, SATA 6GB/S, 16MB CACHE (7200RPM)
No Raid and no mSATA SSD DRIVE.
Does that all sound good? Could I get away with getting a lower spec processor (2.7GHz) to save some cash?
Thanks very much guys.
Best

Sorry but the advice you have been given is very, well, limited
I have had a bog standard ASUS N56, with i7 cpu, 8Gb RAM and an nVidia 650 GPU, it also has a 1Tb 5400rpm HD
I use CS 5.5 Production Premium and edit native (untranscoded) AVCHD video files.
Premiere works fine, no rendering, no stutter, even with effects applied.
AE works a treat
Photoshop is fine
Exporting from Premiere into HD MPG2 or MP4 files is fairly fast.
Its not a substitute for a desktop but for on the move editing, previewing/reviewing it works well
Col
ps
Take an SD card with HD video files on it to your local PC shop and see how the files are played back on various laptops

Laptop spec for Photoshop

Hi,
I'm sure this question has come up before but I'm putting together a laptop that will be mainly used for Photoshop, CS5 at the moment but later CS6 and possibly a bit of video editing as well. Any advice on whether it might be lacking in something or possibly overkill on others would be very welcome.
Lenovo ThinkPad W530
•     Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz).
•     Windows 8 Pro 64.
•     15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display, with color calibration sensor.
•     NVIDIA Quadro K2000M Graphics with 2GB DDR3 Memory.
•     16 GB DDR3 - 1600MHz (2 DIMM).
•     128GB Solid State Drive, SATA3.
•     DVD Recordable 8x Max, Dual Layer, Ultrabay Enhanced w/ SW Royalty for Windows 8.
Not sure whether the 128GB SSD drive will be enough for the OS and programs but I'll be using external drives for storage.
Thanks,
Vince

As I'm primarily a Mac user and not a big fan of laptops (though I have three of those myself), I'll comment on the hard drive space only.
•     128GB Solid State Drive, SATA3.
That's downright pathetic. Unrealistically small.
Shoot for at least 300 or 500 GB, and plan on a dedicated, physically separate hard drive for Photoshop scratch disk.
No danger of overkill with the rest of your planned specs.

What Mac specs for Lightroom happiness? LRs use of multi core & GPU etc

I'd like to update a 2010 MacBook Pro 2.6 i7 with Lightroom in mind. I'm not sure if I've found a definitive answer about whether LR (meaning LR 5.5) makes full use of all cores available. Simply put, will LR run twice as fast on a quad-core as a dual? The most sluggish part of LR for me is its drawing of thumbnails and rendering larger or 1:1 views. Am I correct in thinking this is because LR does not make use of the GPU (as, for example, Aperture does to obvious advantage)? In which case there's no point paying extra for a fancy GPU - as far as LR is concerned?

Lightroom uses all cores. You want the fastest CPU you can afford. A faster 4-core is probably better than a slower 6-core.
You want 8 GB of memory, and preferably 16 GB.
Lightroom does not use the GPU, so go for the cheapest one there is (unless you have other programs that need the GPU)

SQLLDR - spec for "fields terminated" clause for tab delimited files

Does anyone know what the spec for tab delimited files is for the "fields terminated" clause in SQLLDR? See the below example for a comma delimited file:
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
Thanks in advance!
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
You can try this,
TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE
The WHITESPACE option is usefull when, delimiter is any whitespace character including spaces, tabs, blanks, line feeds, form feeds, or carriage returns. (Only used with TERMINATED, not with ENCLOSED.)
I hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Thazul.

What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a "widescreen anamorphic" 16:9 SD DVD (original aspect ratio is 14:9)?

I just received the masters for a new SD DVD. I would like to author a "widescreen anamorphic" SD DVD horizontally squeezed widescreen image stored in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio DVD image frame. (On 4:3 displays, mattes should preserve the original aspect ratio. On 16:9 displays the image will fill the screen at the highest possible resolution.)
Below I've listed the specs of the Digi Beta master tapes the producers have sent to me for digitizing. I'd like to know this: What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a widescreen anamorphic SD DVD, using material with an original aspect ratio of 14:9?
I've also listed my guesses below. Please let me know if my guesses are right. If not, please suggest alternatives (and if possible explain why.)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF EXISTING MASTER:
Tape: DigiBeta
Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
Frame Size: 720 x 480
Anamorphic: Full-Height Anamorphic (16:9 image displayed in letterboxed, non-distored 4:3)
Display Format: 4:3 Letterbox
MY GUESS AT IDEAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (for a DigiBeta, that is):
Tape: DigiBeta
Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect: Square
Frame Size: 720 x 540
Anamorphic: YES
Display Format: 16:9 Anamorphic (horizontally squeezed widescreen image)
Please feel free to ask for clarification or further information you need to answer my question.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Best, Noetical.
BTW, I can't wait for the day when everything has gone digital and we get digital intermediates instead of tapes to digitize!

Hi Nick...thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.
Nick Holmes wrote:
What you have there is a mess.
NTSC pixels are never square.
NTSC is 720x486, even when it is Anamorphic.
You shouldn't be using an already letterboxed master to make an Anamorphic version. Get the master that was made before the letterboxing stage.
When you make an Anamorphic DVD it should display as 16:9 full screen automatically on widescreen TVs.
The same DVD will automatically letterbox on 4:3 TVs.
Um yeah...duh. That's exactly what I was trying to explain in the preface of my question. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear...all these things you mention are the reasons I'm putting together a list of the technical specs of the DigiBeta I need so I can have them send that instead of the stupid letterboxed version.
Look, I'm sending this request to some intern at their offices in England, asking for a master with which I can make an Anamorphic DVD. They already sent me this master, which as you and I both agree is an idiotic asset to use for these purposes. As such, I was hoping for advice on a more precise way of requesting the master that I need than asking for "the master that was made before the letterboxing stage." Upon reflection, perhaps I'll just do that. If you or anyone else has a suggestion about something I should add to my request that would improve the odds of them sending the tape I need, please repond. Thank you!
BTW, It's been a long time since anyone has responded to something I've written or said as though I'm an idiot. I remember now that I don't really like it. (Moving along...)

What are the specs for iPod video

i wish to manually convert .mov (video with audio) to vPod format.
anyone know where there is a list of the specs required, movie size, format, audio format?
i'm trying to figure out the following:
i have two movies of like nature. i drop ,them both in iTunes. i tell iTunes to convert for iPod and it says one does not need conversion. i am trying to figure out why the other does. they are both 44.1/h.264.
what is the movie size spec and all the specs for QT to vPod conversion? (i want do to it manually.)
i think i have it, is this correct: 320x180 (16:9). i assume vPod can play both 48.hz audio and that that does not have to be converted to 44.1 (both aac)?

QT Kirk is simply saying
you can make the file you dropped on the script in
order to make it uneditable editable once again by
loading the file in a hexidecimal editor utility and
"zeroing out" the code that makes it uneditable.
yes, i wanted to know which file to edit the script or the 'locked' movie --the .mov, thanks.
.mov
Format: AAC,Stereo (L R), 44.100kHz, H.264 Decoder,
391 x 216, Millions
FPS: 29.97
Data Size: 58.25
Data Rate: 536.90 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 391 x 216 pixels
Current Size: 391 x 216 pixels
(Actual)
The information cited does not include information regarding
the H.264 profile used to create it. If created using the QT
"Movie to QuickTime Movie > H.264" export option,
then the file would not be iPod compatible since this
workflow employs the "Main" profile. In a similar
manner, if the file was created using the QT "Movie
to MPEG-4" Export option, it would have been created
using either the "Main" or "Baseline" profile.
However, based on your dimensions, iTunes expects the
file to be created using the "Baseline Low Compexity"
profile and proceeds to correct the situation.
how can you do that via QTP expert options? if you can. i create a lot of web movies and wish to 'feed 2 birds with one piece of bread'. (i like birds.
if these are the only
conversion for iPod tools apple offers...
why?
QT Pro/iTunes currently
offers the use of two H.264 iPod compatible,
automatically adaptive workflows (Baseline LC and
Baseline) and QT Pro additionally offers one full
manual iPod compatible H.264 workflow (Baseline
profile) and one full manual MPEG-4 workflow. As to
why the QT "Movie to iPod" and iTunes workflows are
auto-adaptive, most users simply want to have iPod
compatible files when they want them and don't want
to learn how to make them properly with respect to
each compression format and/or profile requirement
and/or special case considerations (dimensions, data
rates, frame rates, key frame frequency, aspect
ratio, macroblock efficiency considerations, etc).
yes, i wish to... well, i said that above, create web and ipod in 'one fell swoop'. i suppose these ipod auto-adaptive modes will work for web, but i'd rather use the expert options. i would like to "learn how to make them properly".
> ok .m4v is h.264.
Rather loosely stated. The
".m4v" extension refers to the file container while
H.264 refers to the actual video compression
algorithm. In this case the H.264 video format is
specifically stored in this file container. One the
other hand, the ".mp4" file container is a more
generic MPEG-4 file container commonly used for
either MPEG-4 or H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) video compressed
files. And, at the other end of the scale, the ".mov"
file container is the most generic since it can
basically contain any "supported" compression format
to include either MPEG-4/AAC or H.264/AAC iPod
compatible files. One key to remember here is that
file containers, like the compression formats that
they can contain, have specific "characteristics."
For instance, ".m4v" and ".mp4" file containers can
have one external piece of graphic "artwork"
associated with it (as seen in iTunes), but the
".mov" container cannot.
i did not know that .mp4 also served for h.264. the graphic container of .m4v i had sort of noticed, however i did not or had not for .mov, thanks.
Your file did not conform to
the required "Baseline LC" profile and so iTunes
converted it. Since the "LC" profile defaults to a
video data rate on the order of 1500 Kbps, your file
size was nearly doubled for the specific duration of
your clip.
i'm not sure i understand why my data rate was converted where a lesser data rate was not. (536 vs. 262)
thanks very much for this 'training'.

What laptop (if any) will be reliable for DVCPRO HD ?

Hi folks,
What laptop (if any) will be reliable for DVCPRO HD ?
The description says that the hard drives must be 7200, AND since a lot of data will be processed, the processer must be very fast, too.
I want to take this laptop on locations, so, it must be VERY reliable.
BUT, I won't do anything else with it but using as a recorder, so, I don't need a too sophisticated one, I mean, I don't want to go too crazy on the price!!!... :):):)
Thank you, Abe.

24GB RAM
SSD for boot drive
GHz, but not necessarily dual. Apple doesn't sell dual 3.33s.
A single 3.33 6-core should do fine and "sweet spot" (when looking, there is "4-core" build to order..,. and like everything else on the Store, why in heavens they didn't be more accurate and clear and say "single socket" and then have "dual processor configurations" 0 I guess the writers don't understand or know workstations or jargon? I say that 'cause some have trouble even finding the 6-core 3.33 choice ($1200 over stock 2.8 4-core).
W3680 though can be found on Buy.com for $620 (was $589 at earlier date) and people are known to then sell the stock cpu $300 making it even more attractive and save $600-900 that way rather easily. Or not.
But yes, I would send you to MPG.com site as well and read through what is on there.

I'm going to be a freshmen in college soon and don't know what laptop I should buy. What do I need to look for? I will be mainly using it for typing essays, research, and music.

You should contact the department of studies at the school and ask what types of application that you might have to use. If there are Windows based ones, then you may have to consider installing Windows in your MBA or get a PC. This could have an influence on the amount of storage the MBA should have.

What is the minimum browser requirements for Captivate 5? (Specifically Flash and Java)

I create a Captivate from and upload it to our LMS. When employees access the course it takes a long time for it to load. My IT department is asking what is the minimum browser requirements for Captivate 5? Specifically Flash and Java. This is occuring on PC's and a Citrix environment.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the same.
There is nothing in specific. When you say it takes a long time, do you mean on the LMS or locally as well?
Try updaing the Flash Player.
You can download the Falsh Player Versions from the below link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Which browser you are using?
