What sequence to choose?

I am not a newbie to video editing, but I am no pro either! I have taken on a pretty big task of making a family documentry. I have every video and picture from my family's past, and video I just recently shot. The orginal video was recorded on 8MM tape, vhs, HI8, SD, HD60i, iPhone, iPad2. The iPhone and iPad I used an app called Filmic Pro, which was recorded in 30p). I already have everything converted professionally to a digital format on a hard drive. I don't really know what to do here. I don't know what sequence to choose, or if I should work in progressive or interlaced.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for your advise shooternz. I went through all of my footage and made a list of the codecs and pixel x pixel dimensions. The profesionally digitised media are .mov, and the sizes range from 600mb to 10GB.
How do I scale down the footage?
.mov 640 x 480      29.97 fps (transferred from 8mm film)
.mov 720x480        29.97 (transferred from 8mm film)
.mov 720 x 480      29.97 fps (transferred from VHS)
DV 720 x 480         29.97 fps (transferred from Hi8/captured firewire to iMovie)
MPG 720 x 480      29.92 fps (recorded on a 60i consumer camera)
MTS 1440 x 1080 29.97 fps (recorded in 60i consumer camera)
.mov 1280 x 720    30 fps (recorded on iPad2/ used app called Filmic Pro 32mbit/sec)
.mov 1280 x 720    30 fps (recorded on iPhone 5/used app called Filmic Pro 32mbit/sec)
.mov 1920 x 1080 30 fps (recorded on iPhone 5/used app called Filmic Pro 32mbit/sec)
.mov 1920 x 1080 30 fps (recorded on Zoom Q2)
Also when I play any of the footage recorded from the iPad and iPhone in the source window it doesn't play back smooth. No jittery, but kind of warbley.
Thanks

How do i find out what sequence preset i need to use???

ive been looking all over the internet for this answer and cant find it anywhere! theres a ton of info about sequence presets but i cant seem to figure out what sequence preset to use for my Sony handycam DCR-HC32. if i could get any help it would be greatly appreciated!!

generally speaking, when you create a blank sequence and then drop a clip of the captured footage into it before you put anything else in there, a dialogue will pop up asking if you want your sequence settings to match your clip settings. have you tried that and it didn't work? If it doesn't pop up, that is an option you can set somewhere (not in front of final cut right now, but if you search the final cut help guide for "match sequence settings" you'd probably find it). if that dialogue doesn't pop up and your render bar isn't a bright color when you drop stuff in, (red, green, orange) then you're cool. you could also try setting it to something completely off and then see if it changes back when you drop it in, to be sure.
alternatively, you could right click the clip in your browser and choose "item properties" and create a sequence to match that.
sorry if you already know this stuff and your issue is more complex. i'm guessing you're fairly new to the program?

Onlilne HDCAM edit - what sequence/capture settings?

Good Afternoon,
We have completed the offline edit of a 3 minute video that was shot on HDCAM,then edited using low-res Photo JPEG.
Using Media Manager we are planning to create a duplicate sequence to use to capture and connect the clips to the HDCAM footage.
What sequence settings do we use and what capture preset do we use? The manual isn't very clear on this.
Thanks!

That's the card...not the drives. What DRIVES do you have? What DRIVE ARRAY? The card will be fast enough...if the raid array attached to it is fast enough.
How fast is it? I don't know...you need to test that out. Use the AJA Kona System Test application found here:

I am recovering from a hospital stay and had to send my wife to retailer to

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.

Hi,
these are the original specs. your T40 left the factory with:
ThinkPad T40 (2374-BG9)
Based on 2374-8CU: P M 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HDD, 14.1 XGA(1024x768) TFT LCD, 32MB ATI Radeon 7500, 24x-8x DVD(slim), Modem(CDC), Ethernet(LOM), Wireless upgradeable, Secure Chip(TCPA), UltraNav, 6 cell battery, WinXP Pro
"Wireless upgradeable" usually means that your T40 did not leave the factory with a wireless card installed. However, I.B.M. used this marketing term to indicate the model has the wireless antennae installed in the lid of the LCD assembly and can easily have a mini-PCI wireless card added. I have opened up dozens of T40's (including, I believe, some listed as "wireless upgradeable") and I have never found one which did not have an internal wireless card installed. It seems most of these units were upgraded with a wireless card at some point in their history. I also have a theory that many of these "wireless upgradeable" units were purchased in bulk and had mass installations of wireless cards by a secondary party/ technicians before being sold on the final retail market. That's just a theory of mine.
The T40's came with the following three wireless 'B' cards:
ThinkPad Dual-Band 11a/b Wi-Fi Wireless Mini PCI Adapter
Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b
Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter
These are the official names designated in System service parts - ThinkPad T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p. These were all wireless 'B' adapters, but T40 can easily be upgraded to some of the wireless 'G' cards you see listed for the T42.
There is only one way to know for sure which (if any) wireless card your T40 has. You will have to remove the keyboard and take a look under the hood. Follow the steps in the Hardware Maintenance Manual - ThinkPad T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p. Then we can help you locate the appropriate drivers.

As for audio, make sure you are first updated to Service Pack 3. Allow Windows to do other preliminary updates and it should then inform you that Service Pack 3 is ready for download. After installing SP3, you will be able to install audio drivers successfully. See my post here for a few additional hints: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/T60-no-sound-after-reinstalling-XP-sp2/m...
If Windows updates is taking forever to give you the option to install SP3, here is an official Microsoft link where you can directly download SP3. (Many people don't know about this link :http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24). Just keep in mind, however, that you should have a stable XP SP2 setup before installing SP3 as it makes many registry changes and configurations and can lead to blue screens or cause your system to hang upon reboot if not installed properly. (I am speaking from experience LOL ). Also, make sure you have a stable hard drive before installing SP3 as it gives your hard drive a major workout. If your hard drive is corrupted or has just a few KB of bad sectors, this can lead to your system hanging when you try to restart after installation. SP3 will write important data to bad sections of the hard drive, then fail to re-start successfully and it will be a big headache. Therefore, you should run Chkdsk several times to attempt to close off any bad drive sectors before attempting to install SP3. SP2 is quite merciful and installs in a breeze, but SP3 can be treacherous. I mention this because you told us above that your hard drive has previously crashed.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

What direction to choose after getting ocp

Hello, guys
I am thinking about next step in my education. What course to choose among Oracle products?
I have OCP 11g already and had course in performance tuning.
Can someone give me advice what Oracle product to learn next? I must say that our organization's budget is limited, so I can choose any of 1 week Oracle courses.
I consider Oracle RAC (however, its not used widely in our country), WebLogic, Application server or SOA Suite.
The main criterias are a product's popularity and it should have perspective for the next several years
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Hemant K Chitale написал(а):
You are lucky that your organization is paying for courses !
If you want to continue being a database administrator, RAC would be the direction (the 11gR2 Accelerated Grid and RAC course is the most expensive course I've seen). However, if you are also supporting other products -- e.g. WebLogic is popular -- you'd do a course in that product. If you perceive being an EBusiness Suite administrator, you'd consider a course in EBusiness Suite or Fusion Applications administration.

Thanks. I will study RAC 11g next week.

Same filesize no matter what bitrate I choose

Hello everyone.
So, I just noticed this problem. It doesn't really matter what bitrate I choose (Only matters if I go below 70) I get almost the EXACT same file size and quilty.
Here are my export settings.
I have a YouTube channel and I upload videos everyday so I want them to be in the best quality possible. This has always worked for until recently. If I export the same video with a bitrate of 300 and then again with a bitrate of 200, the filesize difference is usually about 1MB.
This is starting to annoy me a lot because if I check the videos bitrate after I've exported it, it is NOWHERE NEAR 300. For some reason it chooses to render at a bitrate of 76-80 no matter what.
Here is a picture of my timeline:
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7 PC.
PC SPECS:
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 670 4GB
CPU: Intel i7-3770k @3.5Ghz (Overlocked to 4.1Ghz)
RAM: 16GB
MB: GIGABYTE GA-Z77P-D3
If there is anything else I need to tell you that I might've missed, please tell me so!
I really need to get this fixed as my videos look nowhere near as good as they used to now.

Also, please stop telling me that the bitrate is too high or something, that's not the problem.
I get that. As I said, you have hit a wall of some kind. I am not sure that anyone ever tested about 70Mb/s. Maybe that is the wall that can't be climbed over.
Submit a bug report. Perhaps it will be an easy fix. Perhaps they already know about it and are just waiting for enough people to complain that it becomes worth spending engineering resources on it.
If you want to export at that high a rate, and the software seems to let you try it, the the software should actually do it. I agree.
Although at that bitrate you might as well export to a lossless codec. What is the point of a lossy codec at a bit rate higher than the original recording? It can't be quality because you can't get higher than 70 right now, so my guess is that you have never seen a quality improvement at 300. You can't get to 300. Not really.

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?

No matter what tool I choose, all I get is a hand cursor

I recently installed Photoshop CS4 and didn't have any problems with the installation. However, quite frequently the program gets into a mode where no matter what tool I choose all I get is a hand cursor. I've tried logging off to correct the problem, but that doesn't work. Rebooting the computer is normally sufficient. I haven't determined any specific actions that always cause this circumstance to arise. Does anyone have any ideas on what my problme might be?
BTW, I'm running on Windows XP Pro, 32-bit, with 3.5 GB of memory and a 2GHz dual-core cpu.
Thanks.

This is my expereince as well. I've never seen the problem in any other application and I've been using Photoshop for over 15 years, and this is the first version that I've encountered this problem. And like you, when I switch to any other program the mouse and keyboard work just fine, so it is not a physical keyboard problem.
But, if hitting the space bar a few times solves the problem, then I'm happy for now.
Thanks all.

I'm trying to load the free trial of Illustrator; I get to the Download page, click the big blue box at the top righthand of the screen, but it asks me to choose an application (?) What should I choose to open my new trial with? Thanks.

Giving Illustrator a try with the free trial offer. When I go to download Ai, I am asked to choose an application with which to open it--what should I choose?

Sounds like you maybe trying to download with firefox. In Internet explorer it will automatically switch to the correct application, but with firefox it prompts you instead.
Scroll down the window and find content manager. That will download the installer. Run the installer, after the installer has finished and the manager runs. Open the manager if it is not already, then from there you can select illustrator. It will install it for you.

My PSE12 will only type CAPITAL letters no matter what font I choose. Started doing this yesterday

My PSE12
will only type CAPITAL letter no matter what font I choose. Started doing this yesterday and I can't get back to having upper and lower case letters.

Perhaps you could reset the tools using this method:
1) Launch PSE in Editor Mode
2) click on the Expert Tab
3) At the bottom right corner look for something like this :
This should solve the problem quickly.
Good luck and post back.

Thanks for helping

no, that's incorrect.
you can activate on 1 mac and 1 pc, or 2 pc's, or 2 mac's, concurrently.
i have cc installed on 2 pcs and 1 mac. i can only activate 2 at any one time which works well for me because my pcs are at home and my office and i use them most of the time.
but when i travel i take my macbook so i just deactivate one or both of my pcs (uninstalling is not needed) and sign in to my macs cc app.

Sorry , but product is iPhone 5S

You can't buy from the Apple store online in the US because it is country specific and you firstly need a US credit card and then a US address and they won't ship outside of the US so you can't.
No Apple online store will ship outside the coutry.
If you want an iPhone, then you'll have to order via the Russian Apple store online if there is one, or you'll have to wait until it is released in your own country or go and buy one in Europe.

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.
