What's a good place to discuss hardware selection?

Hi, I have read various documents on the Adobe site, but I am still confused about hardware selection for Photoshop and Premiere. Is there a good place on the forums to discuss that? I saw one question on this forum asked a while ago, but it got no replies.

The hardware requirements of Photoshop and Premiere can be different. It might depend upon the type of work you do on each program. I'd ask in the Photoshop windows area what they would recommend for running Photoshop. Tell them the type of work you do with them. I'd ask a similar question in the Premiere forum. This isn't really double posting, since the answers could be quite different. Again I cannot emphasize more that you need to tell them the type of work you do with the programs.

  • Or at the least - What's a good place to post AE project for hire? (freelance, etc)

    Assuming no one from this forum wants to take the task itself (see prior post), which would be best
    Thanks everybody.  I really appreciate it!

    Well, I have a Mighty Mouse and thought it is nice and does look pretty, the right click doesn't always work and it doesn't work at all in Windows, which for me is a deal breaker. Unfortunately I found this out long after I'd bought it...
    I have nothing against the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard. A friend of mine has one and it's rather nice. Very rugged and easy to clean (it's amazing what you can do with a tube of water and a hair dryer). However I don't like desktop style keys. I like lighter keys that I don't have to force down as much or as far, like a laptop.
    If Apple comes out with a keyboard like that tomorrow I'll buy it without thinking twice. I've been trying to figure out how hard it would be to buy an Apple MacBook Pro keyboard and create a housing for it... Though it'd probably be rather hard.

  • What's the best place to start troubleshooting my Xserve RAID problem

    Hello all,
    I have an older 2.5tb (ide drives) Xserve RAID connected to an HP workstation, which is a video editing sytem. The fiber card connecting the raid is an LSI 7202XP PCI-x card.
    I'm using Windows XP Pro. Nothing on the hardware or software side has been updated or changed in years.
    Recently, I'll be editing video and the Xserve RAID will just "disappear". A computer restart will usually restore it.
    Where's a good place to start troubleshooting? I was going to replace the fiber cables, then the fiber card...then I don't know what.
    I'm just an end user/video editor, so any maintenance help is appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Normally, it should take less than an hour @ $90 USD for labor to replace one. The HD cost is additional. Why do you think the HD needs replacing? Too small?.Then I suggest an ext FWHD, w/FW800 connector, rather than replacing the int one. If there are issues with the HD, check out the iMac HD replacement program. You should really know when you bought the machine and, IMO, it should have the AppleCare Protection Plan, which is the cheapest insurance policy for desktop machines.

  • Good place to get upgrades for a Quicksilver

    I just picked up a Quicksilver G4 800. I am looking to get some upgrades for it. I am looking at get a dual 1ghz but I would also like to upgrade the video card and add sata drives to it. Where is a good place to get mac upgrades and what is a good card for the quicksilver. I do a lot of video stuff.

    If you run Tiger on your systems, the nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP video card with 256 MB shared memory is a popular one, because it is optimized for Quartz Extreme and Core Image. nVidia never made a Mac version; but many East Asian cards with flashed ROMs can be found on eBay, others on Amazon.

    The above example claims hardware support for OpenGL, Core Video, and Core Animation, making it suitable for Leopard. I cannot confirm these claims. Mine (from eBay) came with an audio VGA adapter and digital DMI adapter.

  • What's a good file recovery program for a MacBook Pro running IS 10.7.5?

    Hey gang - I ordered a miniStack 4TB external hard drive from OWC a few months ago during a long overseas trip. I finally unwrapped it and started dumping data to the drive from the 1TB drives (also from OWC) I used via my MacBook Pro. I connected the 4TB to the laptop with FW800.
    I came back from the gym (gone about two hours) and saw a "the drive wasn't disconnected properly..." window. There was a clicking noise coming from the drive, which means mechanical failure.
    I went into Disk Utility and the drive is there but it's grayed out. I changed cables to USB 3.0. Unplugged the drive. Shut down the laptop. Then went through the start up and nadda.
    So before I run off a disk repair place in town and spend $1000, what's a good hard drive recovery program to use to pull the data? I only dumped 1.5TBs until the 4TB and have other drives to dump that data too if I need to.
    Thanks.
    Cheers,
    Bill.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service, such as Data Recovery by DriveSavers, which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • Where is a good place to sell NI myDAQ?

    Hi, I want to sell my NI myDAQ, but not sure where is a good place (not craigslist or ebay).
    I have been searching all over for a place to sell some used labview equipment I have.  I do not really want to sell on ebay or craigslist, as I would like to sell to someone who knows what they are buying.  Does NI have a place to sell used equipment, or do they have a buy back program?  Either might be a good idea.  I have a brand new NI myDAQ.  Anybody know I good resource to sell at?

    Hi!
    I need myDaq for a lab, so if you still have it, I would be very interested to buy it!! I live in holland, would it be possible to send here? Do you know how much it would cost? 
    Thank you very much in advance. 

  • What is Java good for?

    I need to develop a really serious solution for Win2K server, that will handle security data. Now I am thinking of a platform to do it. Can Java really secure the data I will trust to store it? I mean various mulfunctions, program bugs, errors, so on. Microsoft really insists on trusting its programs, not Java's (see the installiation guide for Win2K: 'Java cannot be used for medical, technical (for example handling the nuclear enterprises) ...'), so I don't know what to do. Developing a Java solution will be simplier that doing the same thing with VC.Net, but ... What do you think? What is Java good for?

    Microsoft really insists on trusting its programs, not Java'sDo you trust Microsoft?
    (see the installiation guide for Win2K: 'Java cannot be used for medical, technical (for example handling
    the nuclear enterprises) ...'), so I don't know what to do. The nuclear bit is in the Java license ("You acknowledge that Software is not designed, licensed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility.") I think it's probably either a result of US law requiring some certification or other for software used in nuclear facilities, or a preemptive move by Sun to forestall possible lawsuits.
    The JVM is stable, probably more so than .NET since it's older, and should be suitable for your use, based on the description so far. The things you need to worry about are primarily personnel and hardware configuration (i.e. disabling virtual mem).

  • What is a good codec to convert MTS too for edting?

    I heard that MTS or AVCHD footage is not good to edit with. What is a good codec to convert too?

    No.
    "Rendering" in working through PrPro is actually just telling the program to take the instruction set for an area selected and create new previews for that section. They are NOT really to be used in any final export process (there are only about two format/codecs that would work that way, and likely no one reading this is using them ... ) but JUST for playability in "real time" in the monitors during editing.
    It is needed if between the computer specs & drive layout, the number of effects called for in a clip, and the particular codecs used, the playback causes the GPU to "drop frames" or get slow/erratic in motion. You simply select that section of the sequence, then right-click or go to the upper menu system or keyboard-short to "render selection". You computer runs for a bit, then ... playing back that section should be full-speed.
    Someone who say uses mts files (which can at times be a bit of work behind the scenes for the hardware) and never needs to render before he's done with a project and exports it is saying that his computer handles mts file just fine with the level of effects he uses without needing to render any sections or suffer 'dropped frames' on playback.

  • What is the best place to do an iphone speed test?

    What is the best place to do an iphone speed test? I hear some sites are not so accurate.
    I ask because i would always have speeds above 750 kbps but now im not getting more than 400kbps after i updated to 2.0.2 . I just wanna double check that my speeds actually did suddenly drop with the update.

    I am not sure these numbers are good, but I did some tests on my phone with different settings. All bars full on both Wifi, 3G and Edge using Telia here in northern Sweden (using above site):
    Wifi Download: 4.25 Mbps (4245 Kbps / 518 kB/s) transferred 2304 KB in 4.4 sec.
    Wifi Upload: 0.9 Mbps (972 Kbps / 119 kB/s) transferred 512 KB in 4.31 sec.
    3G Download: 1.17 Mbps (1177 Kbps / 143 kB/s) transferred 1280 KB in 8.9 sec.
    3G Upload: 0.16 Mbps (156 Kbps / 19 kB/s) transferred 512 KB in 26.81 sec.
    Edge Download: 0.2 Mbps (199 Kbps / 24 kB/s) transferred 256 KB in 10.5 sec.
    Edge Upload: 0.06 Mbps (60 Kbps / 7 kB/s) transferred 256 KB in 34.8 sec.
    Maybe the numbers would be different if there were a similar test site in Europe, as I often find any speed tests depends on the physical location of the test server.

  • What is a good use of "Comments Field" in "Document Inspector"?

    Can anayone give me good examples of what is a good use for thsi field? Thanks.

    Hi KT,
    Here is an answer to my question which I thought I share.
    The "Comments" field in the "Document" Inspector is only for us (the authors). Whatever you put here is for you and won't show up in the actual iBook nor in the iTunes. It is just a place to make notes to yourself!

  • Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

    Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

    OK, so you want to put it on your own web page. That's fine as long as you know how to create a web page.
    The next thing you have to decide is how big do you want the video to appear on the web page. Many people just post on YouTube and then embed the video into their web page. That way, the video can take advantage of all of the various sizes that YouTube provides.
    In any case, I suggest that you use H.264. But the data rate depends on the size of the file. If you are going to display it in HD, then you probably want to start at about 20Mb/s and go up or down from there. The required data rate depends on what you find acceptable, and that depends on the amount of movement in the video. For example, a talking head next to a white board explaining something requires a lot less bits to represent the image because less changes are taking place from frame to frame. If you use 10Mb/s for that, you might find 20Mb/s or more is required to make you happy if you shot a football game from the sidelines.
    I generally use settings that look like this image. If you have any questions as to why I choose these settings, feel free to ask.

  • What is a good wireless speaker for ipads

    What is a good, moderate priced wireless speaker for the ipad2?

    The speaker I have—and love—isn't moderately priced. It's the Bose Soundlink Wireless Mobile (Bluetooth) speaker:
    http://store.apple.com/us_edu_383719/product/H6806VC/A/bose-soundlink-wireless-m obile-speaker?
    I love the sound quality, the form factor, the ease of use—everything about it. It's about $300 if you forgo the fancy covers.
    If I were going to buy another speaker that really is moderately priced, the one I'd get is the Soundfreaq Sound Kick SFQ-04, and it's about $100. Here's a link to the review at iLounge, which is the place to go to read reviews about virtually every portable speaker on the market:

  • What is a good video Camera to purchase?

    I have been posting and reading this forum for a long time.
    I was wondering if anyone has any good insight on buying a video camera for around $600-$700.
    I teach a video editing class and I've got about $2800 to spend on video cameras. However, I need more quantity over quality at this point. I've got the classic case of too many students and too few cameras.
    Unfortunately I know less about cameras and more about video editing.
    Basically I'm looking for the best bang for the dollar. Standard Def MiniDV- is fine and so is interlaced. But if i could get Hi-Def Progressive... that would be cool.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
