What settings for new clips in my project?

I have some new clips that I need to add to an existing project. The info for the existing project is
DV PAL anamorphic preset and the footage that has been imported and editited to the project was taken from my standard def DVD's and exported to quicktime using MPEG streamclip with these settings
*Compression: Apple DV-PAL*
*Frame-Size: 720x576*
*Frame-Rate: 25*
*Sound: Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz*
I have some new clips to add, which are HD and this is the info
Video Tracks:
h264, 1280 × 720, 30 fps, 9.69 Mbps
Is it best to use the same MPEG streamslips settings and export to Quicktime as per the original footage or is there a better way to preserve the higher quality of the HD file that will still work with the original footage in the project?
Many thanks

I have followed the steps above but the quality is noticably worse than the rest of my footage in the project. I wonder if I am doing it correctly or if I should start a new project?
I export from mpeg streamclip to Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC :Quality 100% 30 Frames Frame size 720 x 480
I then use JesDinterlacer to perform the standards conversion. I select output then export to quicktime movie and use these settings

No idea what a wowza is.
What are the specifications for this wowza thing, whatever it is? Is it a server? When you googled the iPhone's video playback capabilities, what did you find?

1. Why don't you purchase it from Apple? I'd be wary with eBay sellers - and, after all, Apple posts their stuff everywhere, even if you live in a country without a localized Apple store webpage or local (physical) Apple stores.
2. when it comes to adapters / cables like these, NEVER purchase ANYTHING non-Apple-manufactured! Most of the cheap(er) knock-offs don't work! That is, don't try to save on going for a cheaper alternative - it most likely won't work.

Best Method For Importing Clips Between FCP Projects

What is the best method for importing clips between FCP 7.0.3 projects? I am wondering whether or not pulling the clips from the Capture Scratch folder is the way to go or will using Import from the new FCP project create a new folder in Capture Scratch with the imported clips? I have a new HD camcorder with different clips for different projects and Log and Transfer makes it so easy to bring them all in at once but now wondering how best to separate them into separate Capture Scratch folders for each project.

well, I simply either drag them in to the new/different project from the finder, or drag or copy and paste between open fcp projects. Never had any problems working this way. Just remember that if you delete a specific project scratch disk folder, you may be deleting media used in another project.

What settings for Blueray ?

I have a Sony HDR-HC3 and I want to know what settings to export for compatable HD playback for blueray? I plan on getting a PS3.
Is it H.264 at 1920x1080 ?
Any help would be great.

You'll also need some third party software help. MPEG Streamclip (free) to create the MPEG-2 files and Apple's QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20).

What settings for .mov

Hello I've got a 8.7GB .mov video file here and my DVD are only 4.7GBs.
I've got about 7 videos this size that I need to burn onto DVDs. I'm curious what settings you would choose to complete this task.
If at all possible I'd like to not have to end up with two files (1 for video and 1 for sound)
Thanks a bunch!

Hello RcBro,
Depends. What are you going to use the file for? Archival? DVD player playback? Web streaming/download?
One thing I can answer definitively is that you will not end up with elementary stream files of any kind (separate audio/video files), for any of the above destinations anyway.
You have several options. Since you did not mention a DVD-9, I will spare you those details.
I am sure the kind people on this board will help you if you provide a little more information, such as:
-program duration
-final deliverable/use
The size description you gave us really tells us nothing. It might be a uncompressed trailer or a highly compressed feature. With more information, we can give you optimal advice.
Please let us know.

What Compensation for New Lightroom owners?

I just purchased Lightroom 4 less than 2 weeks ago from Amazon and paid $161.96. Now I see they are offering it for $99.00 with a Photoshop CS5 upgrade. I haven't been able to find anything about any compensation for new users to Lightroom.

I chatted with online help about this situation and he gave me a phone number to call. I called the support line and after 30 minutes of going over everything, giving them the serial number, etc. I was told I could return the software to Amazon and call them, Adobe, and have the serial number deactivated. I tried to get through to her that the software was already installed and Amazon wouldn't be accepting it as a returned. I fianlly just gave up and I'll eat the $61.00. Not worth my time to hassel with this company. I just assumed there would be a proceedure for this since they have policies for time periods when a customer has recently bought Photoshop and a new upgrade comes out. It is still early and they may offer some compensation, as I can't be the only person in this situation.
BTW John Waller, I got no deal on the Lightroom I bought. I believe that was full price. The only reason I even thought about asking for some compensation was I had ordered from Amazon less than 2 weeks ago and had actually only received it about a week ago and had not even had time to register it with Adobe.
Geoff, I intend to upgrade from PSCS5 extended to PSCS6. Thanks for your response.

Best export settings for intermediate clips to be further edited later

I shoot AVCHD show-long footage of live performances and then cut it up into individual song clips after making a few touchups like replacing and syncing the audio from the mixing board, etc. I then export these from the work area as individual files so I can work on them later like adding titles, and fade ins and outs, and tweaking the audio further. I then export as final files for whatever purpose I need such as BluRay or DVD chapters, YouTube uploads, etc. The question I have is, what's the absolute best format to export these intermediate files as full 1920x1080 to avoid as much recompression as possible? File size is not too much of a consideration at this point since they're usually only a few minutes long and I want to maintain as much quality as I can. I'm using PP CS4 and PP CS6-trial on a new computer I just built and I'm getting amazingly fast renders and exports compaired to what I'm used to (just had to brag about that)!
Thanks,

Others have answered your direct question. The implied question is about workflow and how to maintain maximum quality. One way is to avoid making an intermediate.
You don't have to work on your footage in separate projects. You can work on separate sequences inside one project. If you do this, you avoid having to create an intermediate and maintain highest possible quality.
What I've done before in similar situations is to create subclips and then create another sequence and work on those subclips there. The subclips reference the original file non-destructively as is PPro's way, so maximum quality is maintained. When you're done adding titles, transitions, audio work, etc. then you just export this sequence just like you normally do.
PPro is a huge and complex program, and there are usually many ways to accomplish the same task. I'm only bring this up as an alternative way of accomplishing this task on the off chance you hadn't thought of it. Clearly, YMMV.

Change default security settings for new Discoverer users? How?

Hello, using Discoverer 10g with SSO integration.
I've created two roles and create in advance users in the DB user, granting them
one of the two roles. The two roles privileges for Discoverer are already configured.
This way, when I create the user in the DB before launching Disco, granting the user one or the other role, I should be all set about what the user can or cannot do on Discoverer (Plus).
So far the theory :)
The problem is that the full permission given by Discoverer to each new user override the role settings, so each new user can do everything (instead one of the roles forbids saving and sharing, for example).
I have to go to Disco Admin and uncheck the "Plus/Viewer" checkbox for the user to make roles actually work as expected.
How can I set Discoverer user default as "Cannot do anything" on Plus/Viewer so that roles apply without further admin intervention?
Thanks
Mario

Thanks a lot Rod.
The problem here is we need to allow portal users the ability to access Discoverer Plus without using Disco Admin: once a user is registered in the SSO, he should be able to connect successfully to Discoverer.
So we need creating user privileges on behalf of Disco Admin.
Tough job, but it seems it ca be done.
Regards,
Mario

Streamclip/easy setup settings for purchased clips

I have some purchased clips that I would like to edit in FCE. The settings from the QT inspector are:
Format: photo JPEG, 1920 x 1080, millions
FPS: 30
Data Size: 321.4 MB
Data Rate: 171.37 Mbit/s
Current Size: 478 x 269 pixels
If I convert in streamclip to QT for editing in FCE, which compression should I used, and what other settings should I use?
Also, which easy setup in FCE would be correct?
I will eventually be exporting this to QT so that I can run the video through a mac to a projector.
Bob

What version of FCE are you using?
Is there any other media, or just the stock footage?
Most likely you want to convert to QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec at 1920x1080 at 29.97fps.

Best print-to-pdf settings for news articles

Hello, can anyone recommend appropriate settings to use for print to pdf of newspaper articles from a web browser? I archive articles from news sites as pdfs, which I then later use for both reading on pcs and portable devices and as print-outs. Specifically, what pdf standard is best to use in this case? I'm asking mainly because text in the pdfs I've made so far is much less smooth and difficult to read than I thought it would be when viewing on pc, even with acrobat 10 smoothing turned on. It makes the right edge of letters appear to be cut off. Mind you, i'm looking at the pdf at 86% (fit to height); when I zoom to 100%, the text becomes smooth again. And the pdfs also look very sharp on my portable devices. My screen is 1920x1080.
Cheers

If it is a graphic, then a higher resolution would be useful. You should be able to tell if it is a graphic by zooming out and checking the pixels. If you are capturing the fonts, then they should look about the same at any zoom. You might want to be sure the fonts are embedded. Just as a check on some of the issues, try the press or print settings to see if things improve. The other option is to go back and modify the settings to a custom form, but good to start with one that look reasonable first -- or at least compare some of the settings files.There are other issues of the print resolution (the default 1200 dpi is typically a lot more than you need).

How Best to Import iPhone 4 video into Premier Pro CS5 - Settings for new import "sequence preset"?

Shooting video with my iPhone 4 (ATT version) and am trying to import file into Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) running on Macintosh OS 10.6.6.
The problem is that I am simply guessing on how to import sequence, and the result is that I am getting motion artifacts and generally inferior quality. I am using iMovie 11 as my basis for comparison.   Not surprisingly, iMovie 11 imports from iPhone beautifully, but when I've looked around inside of it for properties, there isn't much to see.
From using Apple's built in quicktime "inspector," it is possible to see that iPhone4 video has following properties:
".mov" file
dimensions:   1280 x 720
codecs: H.264, AAC
Color Profile:   HD (1-1-1)

Seeking advice on how to smoothly and *losslessly* import/ingest iphone4 footage into PPro CS5. (I am not worried about exporting for iPhone display, which is what most of the information I can find relates to).
Thanks in advance, Michael

Wow. Thanks Colin.
When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.
FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged. Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering?    I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro.   which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime.   (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).

Journal book settings for new year

Hi Gurus
Is there any setting that has to be done in journal book when there is change of the year (31.12.2011 ) ?
Now i have changed only the interval numer range (inserting new line with new year )for all document types and changed
the Posting Period Variant (with new year). Are these settings sufficient?
Thanks in advance
Regards

1. Open posting periods OB52
2. Add number ranes for document types if you are using year specific document numbers OBA7
3. Carry forward closing balances to next year(F.07 & F.16)
4. Exchange rates maintenance (OB08)
5. If you have any customized things like year specific data maintenance Z tables, you have to update them.
6. If you are using asset accounting, then AJAB and AJRW can be done.
7. version maintenance in controlling(OKEQ)

Jumper settings for new hard drive

i'm installing a WD Caviar 120GB ATA-100 drive on my parents' 450mHz G4. The WD intallation drive indicates a need to place a jumper over pins 3 & 4 of the new drive, but need a jumper be used on the Mac's old drive? It's only 6GB in size and is what i'd like to use as the master drive. i believe the jumper on the old drive is over pins 5 & 6. Thanks!
iBook, Power Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The new drive has the proper jumper setting, is in the middle (and correct) ATA cable position, and is recognized and has been formatted by the computer. Unfortunately, when i boot the G4 the blinking globe appears for about ten seconds, and then the "no OS" folder appears for another ten seconds before OS X successfully loads and the computer operates normally, with both drives functioning fine. Almost a success story, but it makes me nervous. Thanks for all the help so far!
