What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only. I have two questions:
1. What should I use for the sequence settings? Should I edit with a HD sequence setting?
2. I am going to scan the pics myself. What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality? I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums? Getting a cpu overload issue

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums (i.e. multi-output, stereo, etc)? Getting a cpu overload issue. I have a macbook pro, 4 gb ram, running Logic Pro 9. Just 3 tracks of drums and a few real instrument tracks. Can't find a guide in the manual for either Kontakt or Logic. Thanks in advance!

Hi
AR drums are complete resource (CPU) hogs. They work better if you turn off as many of the AR internal plugins as you can.
See section 4 (?) of the AR manual, which you can find within Kontakt (In the library area of Kontakt click hold the small "i" on the right of the "AR drummer" Library).
Alternatively, your only solution is to increase the I/O buffer in Preferences:Audio, with the associated increase in latency

Video camera compatibility for CS5? what sequence setting do I use?

I am new to the extraordinarily complex world of hard drive/hybrid cameras. I have always used tape and firewires with few problems. A student came in today with new camera she just bought a Panasonic SDR –H85. We downloaded a video file, but it would not import into Premiere. I also had no idea which of the dozen new sequence set-ups to use. How do I find out camera compatibility for CS5? (Adobe doesn’t list specific models.) And what sequence setting do I use?

Thanks for your help! For some reason we had a hard time finding these specs. It looks like it is a SD camera, not a High Definition camera (the HD on the side of the camera mistakenly meant Hard Drive, not High Definition?)
At any rate we now need to use the Adobe media encoder to convert the file so that we can import it into Premiere ….all with a loss of quality due to the re-rendering. (btw, what is the best file to re-render?). I suggested that the student who just bought it return it for a camera (preferably High Def) that will work in Premiere. Any suggestions?

What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues. I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out. Thanks for your assistance.

Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422. You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal. This workflow will require much more drive space.

Type exactly whats on here on your settings.
Procedure:
1- Turn on your phone
2- Get paperclip take out tray and put your non working sim card in- T-moble and simple mobile sim cards work great for me on this venture.
3. Goto Settings>General>Cellular>Cellular Network
At this point its very critical that you do this fast, Once you change the sim card to your net 10 the option Cellular Network will only stay on for a few seconds while it's searching for service. You will need to click on cellular once the Net10 sim card is in and click on Cellular network again.
4. Get your paperclip take out the tray put in the Net 10 sim card
5. Goto Cellular>Cellular Network while it's searching for service
6. Type in your settings that I list above
7. Scroll back to your main setting (Do not press your Home Button)
8. Once you see your service up and running try out your web and send a picture message it should work.
9. If it does'nt work you mistype one of the settings, it has to be exact or it wont work.
10. Do the process all over again
Keep this information and the sim card away for a later date in case you lose your setting I have'nt turned off my phone or let my battery die to find out if I lose my settings. One thing for sure I lost it when I update to the IOS 6.0.1.

What setting should I use for YouTube?

I have a cannon HD camcorder and I shoot with Auto AVCHD SP wide. There are a half dozen options when I put my video on YouTube. I don't know what option I chose when I published my first two videos but the sharpness is better than that of my recent video. On my recent video I used Flash Video for YouTube (Wide Screen) Frame Rate 30. The other option, which perhaps I should have used, is High Definition Video for You Tube - 1920 by 1080 - Frame Rate 29.97. Many of the other options are for PAL which of course I do not use.
Please give me you thoughts on this because I intend to publish more videos on YouTube.

Even YouTube themselves has advice:
"Frame rates
Frame rates should match the source material. For example, content shot in 24fps should be encoded and uploaded at 24fps. Content recorded at 30fps should be uploaded at 30fps. Content shot in 720p60, should be uploaded at 720p60. Content at 1080i 60, should be deinterlaced, going from 60 interlaced fields per second to 30 progressive frames per second before uploading."

Resolutions
YouTube uses 16:9 aspect ratio players. If you are uploading a non-16:9 file, it will be processed and displayed correctly as well, with pillar boxes (black bars on the left and right) or letter boxes (black bars at the top and bottom) provided by the player. If you want to fit the player perfectly, encode at these resolutions:
1080p: 1920x1080
720p: 1280x720
480p: 854x480
360p: 640x360
240p: 426x240
The YouTube player automatically adds black bars so that videos are displayed correctly without cropping or stretching, no matter the size of the video or the player.
For example, the player will automatically add pillarboxing to 4:3 videos in the new 16:9 widescreen player size. If the player is re-sized (i.e. when embedded on another website), the same process takes place so that 16:9 videos are letterboxed when the player is sized to 4:3. Similarly, anamorphic videos will be automatically letterboxed when shown in either 16:9 or 4:3 sized players. The player can only do this if the native aspect ratio of the video is maintained.

What file formats should I use for maps?

I've come to the IL forum simply because of the number of file formats IL will process. My question however is more generic to file formats.
I work with a large local county government (just as a citizen) and one of the projects we're working on is to get a full suite of maps (and other GIS output) for distribution. Although they will be made available online, the intent is to print/plot.
For some maps, we'll want to have the capability to add vector graphics (ovals, rectangles, text, arrows) for highlighting.
The intent is for the county to provide machine readable GIS output so that we can do our own printing (via Kinkos for example). We'll also be putting the maps online although only for simple viewing and downloads.
What file format(s) should I ask to have the map sets in?
Because I'm a novice when it comes to understand which format to ask for I've done some homework on jpg, tiff, gif, etc. I think IL will take in any of them and that's where any vector graphics would be added (for print destined output). I also have FW which could be used for web destined output if needed.
What is most important is the quality of the printed output so I'm assuming dpi is going to be important. I'm also assuming that we'll ask for the output to be intended for a rather large plot (e.g. 36" x 48" or perhaps even larger) even though we may not actually produce a map of that size. For what I've learned on this and other Adobe forums, no matter what file size and format we get, printing to larger paper will eventually lose visible resolution thus the intent to start with the largest we'd ever print. We might have circumstances where we would crop but again understand what can happen when blowing those up.
One option, of course, is to have the county produce PDFs. Is that a good idea for our purpose meaning do we lose anything to have the file format generally acceptable? I'm assuming somewhere along the process we'll need to produce pdfs for downloads but that may not be the best format to get from the GIS output.
Keep in mind that we don't have GIS software at present. In the future we may move to using a GIS viewer which would mean we would have file generation capabilities, but for now, we're going to have to handle non-gis output files.
I'm not even sure I'm asking the question well so feel free to educate me along the way. I'm interested in learning.

(pricy) I know that may sound strange given having CS2,
Yep. Sure does. Plus:
So in comparing prices, be sure to include the costs of the third-party plug-in route, such as MAPublisher (and the associated headaches of mission-critical dependence upon third-party add-ons in general).
Since IL can take in pdfs and can add vector markup
Working with PDFs is pretty much universal these days, for practical purposes.
Understand this about PDFs and Illustrator: Illustrator's Save As...PDF dialog provides an option for "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities." Selecting that option actually embeds in the resulting file a full duplication of the file as native Illustrator objects. That results in very bloated PDF file sizes--because they contain two full copies of the file.
That's not what you want to do for PDFs that will be distributed/downloaded. So you're going to want to keep your AI-native files separate anyway. Opening a PDF that was saved without that option turned on in Illustrator is pretty much the same thing as opening it other mainstream drawing progams. So the "seamlessness" of PDF/Illustrator is really much about marketing.
But no matter. Your mind is already made up to use AI for this. If it were me, I'd be exploring all options.

If I'm using a Canon S110 what sequence preset should I use to get the best high def results?

Also if I'm uploading these videos to YouTube, should I use the YouTube preset in exporting the video? Will that make my video look high def as well?

What setting should I use for exporting movies?

Hi
I've read quite a lot of posts on these forums - I am getting
the dreaded whitespace instead of the movie I want to see on my
webpage.
I created an flv from Premier Pro, put it in Flash CS3 +
exported a SWF. the SWF plays fine in Flashplayer 9 and when I
select 'play' in the properties bit in Dreamweaver CS3.
I used the 'insert movie' option (just using the flv) at
first in DW but could not get it to work - despite making sure the
Scripts file was uploaded. So I went with the old fashioned bit of
script and used a Flash created SWF.
I uploaded a swf i didn't create to test and that did display
correctly in IE etc. This makes me wonder if I am doing something
wrong in Flash. should it be as simple as file>export>export
movie>OK?
Grateful of you help. The morning has just disappeared trying
to figure this one out...

I still had a copy of Flash MX 2004 installed, so i created a
swf that i was able to publish successfully from - well - the
output ran slow. This suggests i am still doing something wrong at
the publishing stage.

What Compressor codec should I use for footage recorded on a Canon T3i, edited on FCP 6, and intended for Vimeo?

I am looking for help!
My planned workflow is as follows:
Footage recorded on Canon Rebel T3i ---> Edited on Final Cut Pro 6 (sequence compression is apparently H.264 according to the browser) ---> Compressed with Compressor (ver 3.0.5) in original 1920 x 1080, 24p format ---> Uploaded to Vimeo
I am now at the point where I am trying to find a Compressor setting that will create a compressed movie that looks somewhat similar to what I see in the canvas in Final Cut Pro 6. I have tried using the H.264, Apple ProRes 422(HQ), HD Uncompressed 8-bit, and XDCAM HD 1080p24 settings and in all cases, my movie plays back fine, however, the brightness/exposure seems to be hiked up a few stops and there is a substantial amount of noise in both the blacks and midtones that doesn't appear in FCP's canvas.
My compressed movie I wish to export is only intended for Vimeo (similar to Youtube). Is there a different setting I should be trying, or perhaps a way of downloading a more effective or current codec?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as it is very disappointing to see my movie degraded so much from its orginal quality.

H.264. But the FCP Legacy (FCP 7 and earlier) Canvas and Viewer aren't color accurate. Not designed to be. Their purpose is to show you what you are doing, show you the footage so you can make editing decisions. For color accuracy, the ideal way, since this was designed with television and feature editing in mind, is to have an IO device like those AJA.com and DECKLINK.com make, and send the signal to an HDTV or broadcast monitor.
Apple has realized that more and more people are editing for the web and computers only, so they made it so that FCX's viewer IS color accurate. So...what that means is that currently, using what you have, you won't get things to match....they aren't designed to. So you can adjust for what happens when you export.
But a big issue is that you are editing H.264 in FCP native. FCP doesn't work with H.264 native well, all sorts of potential issues can arise. Sync issues, quality issues, the correct shot be exported, all sorts of things. FCP works best with the FCP editing codecs. What are they? They are found in the EASY SETUP list. But for HD, the most commonly used option is ProRes 422. There is a BIG problem that FCP Legacy will SEEM like it'll work with H.264 natively just fine...it doens't throw up any warnings. That is bad. Also something Apple fixed with FCX.
The fact that you are editing H.264, and trying to export H.264, might also lead to the footage being more off that it would if you edited ProREs 422, and exported H.264. Note...H.264 is a higher data rate codec, and easier for FCP to work with...but because it has a higher data rate, the file sizes are much higher than the original H.264. 5-6x larger. FCP 7 did have a way to import Canon 5D, 7D and T2i (needed a hack with the T2i) via Log and Transfer. But it doesn't work with the T3i...not even with that hack. Because FCP 7 was no longer updated after the T3i came out. It's 4 year old software, discontinued 2 years ago.
If you want to edit native, you need to look at Adobe Premiere Pro CC. It's interface is more accurate too.

What compressor setting should I use in order to convert my m4v file to an mov that wont need to be rendered when I bring into FCP 7?

When I have an m4v file of course I cant edit it in FCP so I convert it in mpeg stream and/or compressor but no matter what mov format I convert it to, it always has to render in FCP7. The render files are also HUGE, upwards of 50 gigs. The m4v file is about 9 gigs. I know theres a setting that will allow me to convert it to an MOVformat in compressor that wont need to be rendred in fcp, but I dont know what it is. HELP PLEASE!!! Lexi

You need to convert so the resulting file will match your FCP Sequence specs. That include codec, frame rate, pixel resolution, audio sampling rate, etc, etc.
The reason that the .m4v version is so small is that is was heavily compressed for internet viewing/delivery and not a good source if you plan to edit.

FAQ: What system hardware should I use for Photoshop?

We all know we can find the Minimum System Requirements on the side of any software box. For the most recent version of Photoshop you can check the Tech Specs. If you'd like info on the older versions, you can check here.
What does it mean if your computer meets the Minimum System Requirments? Well, you'll be able to install and launch the software without an error. Not meeting some of the minimum requirements could result in a hard or soft stop when installing. A hard stop prevents the installation from continuing because critical requirements are not met. A soft stop is a warning that you may encounter issues if you continue, but you can make that judgement on your own.
But meeting the minimum requirements isn't necessarily give you a happy experience with Photoshop, especially if you work with large file normally. We normally don't make recomendations on the type of hardware you use on your system. We've changed our minds. Here is a list of recommendations for Good, Better, and the Best systems:

Hello Brinmr,
i do not hava license for matlab so i can not test it.
On this page you found the supported NI hardware and here is the information the 6008 can be
used in session mode Supported Hardware - National Instruments- NI-DAQmx
and if i understand the function startForeground correct is this a session mode function.
You can made some tests with a simulated 6321 or 6251, but if this also not works then you should contact
the mathworks to ask them how you should implement your functions with mathlab.
