What's the fastest easiest way to burn an iMovie into an iDVD

I created an iMovie for my cousin who is going on college interviews tomorrow. I did not realize that in order to burn a DVD, I would have to create a whole new project in iDVD with stills, videos, music etc...
I need to burn the movie quickly. Any suggestions on a simple way to burn a movie onto a DVD would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Tracy

Hi
a. Use iMovie HD 6
b. Close iMovie and locate the movie project icon
c. Open iDVD and select an as simple menu possibly eg Brushed Metal (old themes)
d. Import movie or just drop it into iDVD window - but not into a button zone. (Import is easiest)
e. I choose
• Pro-Quality encoding (handles up to 120 minutes incl menu)
• DVD-R disks
• Verbatim
• x1 burnspeed (can be set in iDVD pref/Advance)
• minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk
Limitations
• iDVD only cares about duration of movie (NOT GBs at all)
• SlideShows limited to 99 photos each (or do iit in iMovie)
• iMovie'08 and 09 not tools if High Quality is of need from miniDV material
Yours Bengt W

NO AUDIO IN LEFT CHANNEL:What is the quickest/easiest way to troubleshoot?

Can someone tell me how to troubleshoot the left audio channel? No sound in speakers nor headphones no matter what the source. Could this have been caused by the case being recently opened for the hard drive replacement (by an Apple authorized shop)? Is this a common problem in older iMacs? I'm capable of some techie work (I have done PRAM battery replacement, etc). Tried restarting and no change. Any ideas, let 'em rip this way! Thanks GREG P>

YUP!! Just before I logged back in to withdraw this post!! It was nailed to the right, just like an old sound engineer I once knew. Brains workin' slow; another 'senior moment' I guess. Wonder why that happened but that's life in the digital world. THANKS, JEFF and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

What's the best (easiest way) to clear up voice recorded from far away?

I decided to record my professor during one of his lectures.
I sit in the back (power outlet~), and thus the voice is really muffled.
I figured I'd be easily able to clear up the sound later in CS6.
Sounds easy anyways, but for some reason, I'm not having any luck in it.
I've done much more complex restoration stuff (no where near pro, just ocd haha), but never worked with voice before.....
Any ideas will be helpful. Pretend like I've only used audition for a few days.
Thanks all~!

Unfortunately there isn't an easy or even very successful way to do this in any audio software. See the long discussion at:

The fastest/easiest way to erase/replace photo backgrounds w/ Apple sofware

Hi,
I am taking mostly pictures of my family and most of the files are .jpgs. I like iPhoto '08 very much and its editing capabilities are enough for me. However, occasionally I have the need to erase/replace the background of some photos. I am not sure if / how this can be done in iPhoto?
I do not have the patience or interest to learn Photoshop or the like so I am interested in solutions that are very fast and easy (if they exist). If I cannot use iPhoto for the aforementioned task, would you please recommend something that is intuitive and gets results fast? I do prefer Apple software but I am open to your suggestions. The keywords are: intuitive, fast and not too expensive.
Thank you.

What is the fastest way to pass data between parallel threads?

I have a top level vi running with 6 parallel threads. I need to pass some data from digital I/O to several of the threads. What is the fastest responding way to do this. I am controlling a machine that has quite a few sensed events happening at very close intervals, some as close together as 1 to 2 milliseconds, and I seem to be randomly missing the signal from these sensors. How can I distribute the I/O to the different threads and not miss any inputs?

I usually use a Queue to pass data from one loop to another. Other
choices are Functional Globals or Notifiers. It kind of depends on what
you need to do as to which one is best, so it's a bit hard to recommend
one over the others without knowing more about your application.
Both Queues and the Functional Globals (if written correctly) can
buffer data so you're less likely to lose data if one loop gets behind
the others.

What is the easiest way to burn data from a ext HD to an ext DVD drive?

I have a Maxtor Touch III with 2 partitions on it. I want to wipe the 2nd partition clean but it has data on it. I just bought a Plextor External DVD-DL drive. So what would be the easiest way to burn the discs? There is about 40Gb worth of data to burn and I have all kinds of backup utilities, (Retrospect Express, Intego's backup, etc....I will admit I am not well versed at using Retrospect, in fact the only way I know how to backup is by doing a Duplicate Backup. So what do you think?

I personally use Roxio's Toast 7 for all my burning needs, and it's the finest so far (also used DiscBlaze in the past). Click the "DATA" tab, and add whatever files you want to burn, that's it.
You mentioned you just bought a Plextor external DVD drive, is it the Plextor 716UF (USB/Firewire)? That's the same one i have and it's fantastic.

What is the fastest way of getting data?

With a scanning electron microscope, I need to scan a 512*512 pixel area with a pixel repetition of 15000 (two channels), meaning averaging over 15000 measurements. Simultaneously I have to adjust the voltage output for every pixel.
I am using a 6111E Multifunction I/O board in a 800MHz P3. The whole task has do be done as fast as possible (not more than 20 minutes altogether).
What is the fastest way to get this huge amount of data with averaging and output in between? (E.g. do I use buffered read with hardware triggering or is there a faster way?)

Using the NI-DAQ API (not LabView) will give you a significant amount of more control over what happens and when to the data stream; which translates to a more efficient program. But you need to program in C/C++ or Delphi then. The Measurement Studio provides ActiveX controls that are like the LabView ones for C&C++ (they�re slow like the LabView ones though � not a lot you can do about the Windows GDI).
What are you trying to sample 15000 times? The 512*512 pixel field?
That�s almost 15Gigs of data! And it means you need to process data at 12.8MB/s to finish it in 20 minutes. I hope you know C, x86 assembly and MMX.
I would setup a huge circular buffer (NI-DAQ calls them �double buffers�), about 30 seconds worth or so, to use with SCAN_Start. Then I would proces
s the actual buffer the card is DMA�ing the data into with a high priority thread. Progressively sum the scan values from the 16bit buffer (the samples are only 12 bit, but the buffer should still be 16bits wide) into a secondary buffer of DWORDs the size of the screen (512*512), and you�ll need two of those, one for each channel. Once the 15000 scans are complete, convert each entry into a float divide by 15000.0f, and store it in a third buffer of floats.
If you wish to contract this out, send me an email at [email protected]

Hi Ester,
Haven't got clearly what you written.
You mean to say, there is modifications done to query for updation?

What is the easiest way to convert a jpeg into a watermark with CC 2014?

What is the easiest way to convert a jpeg into a watermark with CC 2014?
I signed a paper and uploaded the image to the computer as a jpeg to be turned into a watermark. I'd done it before for a different kind of photography, but have not done it in so long that I cannot remember the steps nor can I find the tutorial video I had watched that taught me how to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Adding to what others have said, if you want to repeat the watermark across the image, it's relatively easy:
As JJ said, you want to create an image with a transparent background. You can even use his script. Once you've done all that, click Image > Trim with the "transparent pixels" option and leave all the "trim away" options checked.
Click Edit > Define Pattern to name the pattern.
Open the image you want to apply the watermark to. Create a new blank layer. (ON EDIT: Select the blank layer.)
Click Edit > Fill and use the Pattern option under Contents. Choose the pattern you made earlier. Click OK.
At this point, you can leave it as is or use blending modes and layer opacity to taste. Example:

What's the fastest way to share files live between 2 Macs in the same room?

Please can I have some advice on this scenario?
I'll need to share HD video footage between 2 new Mac Pros in the same room. 1 Mac will be used to upload the footage and the other to edit it using FCP. The footage can be stored either on hard drives in the edit machine or on desktop hard drives connected to the edit machine (or if there is a better option I'm open to advice).
What is the fastest way of sharing the files and what is the simplest way?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

What is the fastest way of sharing the files and what is the simplest way?
Fastest way? a fiber channel SAN connecting the two machines to a common fiber-channel based storage array. Can't beat it for performance, but it comes at a cost (think $20K as a starting point, depending on the amount of storage you need).
Simplest way? Some external media (thumb drive, external hard drive, etc.) that you shuffle between the two machines
Intermediate: a NAS-based storage box on your network, although be aware that real-time editing of HD video can overwhelm many low-end NAS boxes.
