What's the best way?? Need Master Class POV

I've got material shot with two cameras. The video portion I want to use...the audio I'm using from another source that is better quality (live musical performance).
Somehow, all of this needs to come together in one edited music video.
How do I go about starting such an editing project? We're talking no SMPTE, no code, no sync, no fancy stuff at time of shooting. Just a couple of guys with consumer grade cams shooting a band performance. The audio (DAT recording at the board) I will hot rod in Logic and import in the final product into FCP. I obviously can't import in the finished audio track at this point until I know how the video portion is going to be stirred up and mixed.
How would you guys approach this? I'm in so deep in trying to figure out the proper workflow that my head is about to explode.
Thanks guys.

I would actually take your final audio and lay that portion down into a timeline in FCP and cut based on that - like a music video. (You can always replace that audio later if you are doing some mix in Logic - just a rough is all you need - but make sure the timing is the same if you remix it later - don't add another verse or lose a chorus - unless you can repeat that edit.)
Normally, for something like this, you would use multi-cam - which acts like a switcher between several camera sources. I have only cut multi-cam in AVID - but in AVID you can lock video tracks together that have no timecode - just set in points and it locks from there. Someone else on the forums with better knowledge of the multi-cam in FCP might be able to instruct you.
But, you can do a poor man's multi cam - eye-match all your cameras of the performance to that audio. Maybe put the main camera on V1 and work your way your way up from there. Then all the cameras are in sync and on different layers and then you just select your shots - and pull out what you don't like. Eventually, you would widdle it down to a tight edit.
OR, another option is to just log all the shots you love and the cut it like a music video - you would still eye match any performance shots to get lip sync.

  • What's the best way to master an MPEG 2 file for DVD Studio Pro.

    In version 4.5 of FCP I was able to use QuickTime conversion to encode to MPEG2. Now that option is not there. I hate using compressor 2 to create MPEG 2 because when I do the MPEG 2 files always seem to studder and I don't know why. I shot my project in HDV. It is about 64 minutes long. Any suggestions on the BEST way to master an MPEG 2 file for DVD Studio pro? Thanks in advance!
    Peter
    PS - I'm using FCP 5

    Some people have reported a field reversal problem with HDV to SD DVD encodes. There's an Apple technical document on this issue somewhere, but the problem was supposed to be addressed by a Pro Applications update a couple of years ago... This site might help you get to the bottom of the problem.

  • What is the best way to protect .class files on server?

    I've been working on my website project for quite some time, years in fact. Now I'm at the point where I'm looking into signing up with a web host provider and testing the site live.
    I have some questions and concerns though. My site is made up of Java Servlets and JSP pages.
    My foremost concern is protecting my code. Many suggest obfuscating. If I understand the process correctly, it involves making the code harder to decompile. I also understand that obfuscating isn't a guarantee in protecting code. If someone really wants to use the code, they'll figure out a way to.
    So are there any other options available to protect my code?? I would like to consider as many options as possible.
    Once it is on the web host server, anyone can have access to it. Hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question - Microsoft Word comes with the option to password protect files from being opened, is there not by now some way to implement the same sort of feature with files uploaded to a server?
    Your input is appreciated.

You need to acquire a proper understanding of a web server and its configuration. Your problem can be solved via correct configuration of the server. Nothing to do with obfuscation.So your telling me that once I've uploaded all my .class files and everything else to my host provider, that the people running the server do not have access to it? I find this hard to believe....
    What exactly would I be looking to configure on the server??? Please explain.

  • What is the best way to deploy/update custom security realm classes to WLS 6.0?

    From the WLS 6.0 console, I see that I can specify the Java class that
    implements my custom security realm but I am wondering what is the best way
    to deploy/update this code. I don't see a way to do this from the console.
    Does this mean that I have to manually copy the class files over that
    implement my custom security realm?

    Thanks Danut,
    A jar file seems to be a good way to package it up but it sounds like it
    still needs to be manually copied to each Weblogic server install directory
    post-installation and whenever it is updated. I thought it would be nice to
    be able to deploy/update the custom security realm by uploading it through
    the Console just as you can with web applications and EJBs.

    You have to have your Custom Realm class in the class path. I usually havea
    jar file with all the Custom Realm classes and that jar I copy it in thelib
    folder. Then I modify "startWebLogic.cmd" and I add to the classpath
    ".\lib\CustomRealm.jar"
    set
    CLASSPATH=.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;.\lib\CustomRealm.jar;
    >
    Be aware that in order to have you custom realm besides creating thecustom
    realm using the console you also have to create a custom caching andchoose
    that one as your default caching realm.
    Here is how the security settings are looking in my "config.xml"
    <CustomRealm Name="CustomRealm"
    RealmClassName="Custom.appserver.weblogic.security.CustomRealm"/>
    <CachingRealm BasicRealm="CustomRealm" CacheCaseSensitive="true"
    Name="CustomCachingRealm"/>
    <Realm CachingRealm="CustomCachingRealm" FileRealm="wl_default_file_realm"
    Name="wl_default_realm"/>
    <FileRealm Name="wl_default_file_realm"/>
    <Security GuestDisabled="false"
    Name="mydomain" PasswordPolicy="wl_default_password_policy"

    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.

  • I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

    I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

    @Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
    If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
    A final resort to bring down file size is:
    1. Print to PostScript
    2. Distill to PDF
    That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
    I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

  • HT1451 I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop. What's the best way to do this?

    I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • I need to upgrade my harddrive, what is the best way to do it?

    Hi,
    I need to upgrade my hard drive - what is the best way to do it? Is it best to go to an Apple store or can I do it myself? How can I transfer current apps and data across
    I have a Macbook 13 inch I bought in 2009, it is not the Macbook Pro 13 inch model to be clear. It is running 64 bit Snow Lepoard 10.6.6. I have upgraded the RAM to 4 Gig so the performance is still good, but I am running out of disc space, hence the hard drive upgrade requirement.
    Many Thanks,

    Replacing a hard drive in a MacBook is very easy to do it yourself.
    To buy a hard drives try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives orOWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    Here's instructions on replacingthe hard drive http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To transfer your current hard drive I likeCarbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in thecase and clone your old drive to the new one. Then replace your old hard drivewith the new one.

  • I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

    I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!

    What version of iPhoto are you using?  How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen?  If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
    If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD.  That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
    In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like.  If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart  bin at the left.
    Click to view full size
    If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
    Click to view full size
    When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk.  Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play.  If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can  burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    Electronic Press Kit.
    Usually in the form of video outtakes, movie trailers, cast and crew interviews. Basically, the stuff that gets bunged onto commercial DVDs as extras or ends up on late night TV "Making Of..." shows.
    To answer the OP, you want a button on the menu that leads to a still image, or series of them, set up as a slide show. You can copy/paste the text in DVD Studio and then add formatting via the Text menu. (Highlight the text and right click to access formatting controls). Or do it in a graphics application using the appropriate video image preset.

    If I need to back up what is the best way to do this?

    If everything works perfectly, your data should not be touched.
    Personally I never trust my data to everything working perfectly.
    I always backup everything twice at least.

    Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
    Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
    Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
    Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
    Thank in advance.

    Hi Katherine,
    yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).
