Working in After Effects efficiently and enjoying it is not just dependent on the rendering speed of your computer. Enjoying working in After Effects is planning your work to get the most out of your existing system's abilities without too much frustration. Work at resolutions, in color spaces and frame rates adequate to the task of editing and creating. After your designs and rough cuts are approved, you advance to working in the release medium.
In a commercial setting, if you have the machines and IT support to keep it running, the work of full rez output can be offloaded to a render farm. At home, you learn to use what you have until you can figure out a way to pay for new hardware. However, in the many years I have been using After Effects, advances in hardware do not necessarily mean improvements in rendering speeds. My huge new Macintosh only gives me a slight improvement in rendering. The vast oceans of RAM and fast SSD will allow creative experimentation, once I figure it all out and relearn my long-established workflows, but it's going to take Adobe some time to figure out how to take advantage of PC and Mac hardare advances.

MacBook Pro 2011 with OS X 10.6.8. what should I upgrade to, for now?

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. and I'm unsure about upgrading, but feel the need to. What should I upgrade to, for now? THANK YOU!

Keep your Snow Leopard installation and test Mavericks on a separate partition or external drive. You will probably want to have both options. Mavericks and anything else after Snow Leopard has changes to the user interface that many of us find pointless and irritating. And you won't be able to use any software that runs via Rosetta in Snow Leopard. You will have to upgrade software that needs Rosetta to a later version, or get something else entirely.

What should I upgrade first?

I'm thinking of upgrading something to improve my after effects rendering and realtime view-ability. What would you suggest I upgrade first? my raid? Get an arecca? Or cpu? Or something else?
specs:
gtx480
24gb ram
960 overclocked to 4.0
os drive - ssd
Raid 0 internal (4 drives) media drive
Raid 0 internal (2 drives) output drive
I'm also maxed out as far as space to store drives inside my case. Any suggestions? Where do you put all of your drives?
Thanks!
Adam

Never heard of a gtx480. Buy a new computer.
But even that won't make After Effects tangibly better unless your current mashine is more than four or five years old. After Effects is all about math, Teraflops may get the equations processed faster but the images still have to be recalled from drives, moved around, written out to various locations and then displayed. The physical movement of data is pretty much going at the speed of light now.

What is the best way to replace the Inline Views for better performance ?

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9i ,
What is the best way to replace the Inline Views for better performance. I see there are lot of performance lacking with Inline views in my queries.
Please suggest.
Raj

WITH plus /*+ MATERIALIZE */ hint can do good to you.
see below the test case.
SQL> create table hx_my_tbl as select level id, 'karthick' name from dual connect by level <= 5
2 /
Table created.
SQL> insert into hx_my_tbl select level id, 'vimal' name from dual connect by level <= 5
2 /
5 rows created.
SQL> create index hx_my_tbl_idx on hx_my_tbl(id)
2 /
Index created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'hx_my_tbl',cascade=>true)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Now this a normal inline view
SQL> select a.id, b.id, a.name, b.name
2 from (select id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1) a,
3 (select id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1) b
4 where a.id = b.id
5 and a.name <> b.name
6 /
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=7 Card=2 Bytes=48)
1 0 HASH JOIN (Cost=7 Card=2 Bytes=48)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'HX_MY_TBL' (TABLE) (Cost=3 Card=2 Bytes=24)
3 2 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'HX_MY_TBL_IDX' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=2)
4 1 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'HX_MY_TBL' (TABLE) (Cost=3 Card=2 Bytes=24)
5 4 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'HX_MY_TBL_IDX' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=2)
Now i use the with with the materialize hint
SQL> with my_view as (select /*+ MATERIALIZE */ id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1)
2 select a.id, b.id, a.name, b.name
3 from my_view a,
4 my_view b
5 where a.id = b.id
6 and a.name <> b.name
7 /
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=8 Card=1 Bytes=46)
1 0 TEMP TABLE TRANSFORMATION
2 1 LOAD AS SELECT
3 2 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'HX_MY_TBL' (TABLE) (Cost=3 Card=2 Bytes=24)
4 3 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'HX_MY_TBL_IDX' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=2)
5 1 HASH JOIN (Cost=5 Card=1 Bytes=46)
6 5 VIEW (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=46)
7 6 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'SYS_TEMP_0FD9D6967_3C610F9' (TABLE (TEMP)) (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=24)
8 5 VIEW (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=46)
9 8 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'SYS_TEMP_0FD9D6967_3C610F9' (TABLE (TEMP)) (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=24)
here you can see the table is accessed only once then only the result set generated by the WITH is accessed.
Thanks,
Karthick.

My mac says connect to a faster usb for better performance

every time i connect my ipod the mac says:
the ipod is connected to a low-speed USB 1.1 port. for better performance, you should connect it to a high-speed USB 2.0 port if one is available on your computer
whats that about

It means exactly what it says.
This message will pop up when you connect a device (the iPod) that works with USB 2.0, to USB 1.1 port.
USB 1.1 is 12 megabits per second.
USB 2.0 is 460 megabits per second (60 ttimes faster).
For better perfomrance, use a usb 2.0 port if your computer has one.
Unfortunately, your iBook G3 does not have USB 2.0.

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

HT1338 I am trying to get my system current. I am now running Mac OS X, version 10.6.8 (I believe this is "Snow Leopard". What should I upgrade to?

I am trying to get my system current. I am now running Mac OS X, version 10.6.8 (I believe this is "Snow Leopard"). What should I upgrade to?

The current system is OS X 10.8 which is downloadable from the App store, which you can upgrade to directly if your system meets the system requirements. Note that starting with OS X 10.7, PowerPC-based programs will no longer run. So, for example, people with Office 2004 got surprised when they upgraded and found that the older Office programs would no longer run. Newer Office programs are OK.

I have an earlier model imac, the 2006 24inch and im running mac os x 10.5.8, i want to update my system to the newest mountain lion, what should i do first?

To clarify;
Snow Leopard 10.6;
Lion 10.7:
Snow Leopard DVD:
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.

What should be added first

Hi,
I've got some problems when importing these
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.ValueChangeEvent;
import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;
import oracle.binding.ControlBinding;
import oracle.binding.OperationBinding;
import oracle.jbo.domain.BlobDomain;
import oracle.jbo.domain.ClobDomain;
what should have been added for resolving it?
Best Regards
Edited by: HuaMin Chen on Jun 16, 2011 11:17 AM

your project should have all th UI related jars... addded for the java class to compile..
please add
JSF 1.2
ADF Faces Runtime
its better you create ADF view controller project.. so that all the libraries will be configured and added to you by default..

Please help to modifiy this query for better performance

Please help to rewrite this query for better performance. This is taking long time to execute.
Table t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change contains 1200000 rows and table t_acctnumberTab countains 200000 rows.
I have created index on ACCOUNT_ID
Query is shown below
update rbabu.t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change a
   set account_number =
       ( select distinct b.account_number
         from rbabu.t_acctnumberTab b
         where a.account_id = b.account_id
Table structure is shown below
SQL> DESC t_acctnumberTab;
Name           Type         Nullable Default Comments
ACCOUNT_ID     NUMBER(10)
ACCOUNT_NUMBER VARCHAR2(24)
SQL> DESC t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change;
Name                    Type         Nullable Default Comments
ACCOUNT_ID              NUMBER(10)
ACCOUNT_NUMBER          VARCHAR2(24) Y

Ishan's solution is good. I would avoid updating rows which already have the right value - it's a waste of time.
You should have a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint on t_acctnumberTab.account_id
merge rbabu.t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change a
using
      ( select distinct account_number, account_id
from rbabu.t_acctnumberTab
      ) t
on    ( a.account_id = b.account_id
       and decode(a.account_number, b.account_number, 0, 1) = 1
when matched then
update set a.account_number = b.account_number

I'm running OS X what should I upgrade to?

I'm running OS X what should I upgrade to?

Hi,
If your forum info is up to date, you're currently running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. If you want to update to the more recent versions like Lion or Mountain Lion when it's released, you first have to buy Snow Leopard, which is version 10.6. You can still get that on the online Apple Store here or at any Apple Retailer (I think).
Hope that helps you out, feel free to ask anything else.

Scale out SSAS server for better performance

HI
i have a sharepoint farm
running performance point service in a server where ANaylysis srver,reporting server installed
and we have anyalysis server dbs and cubes
and a wfe server where secure store service running
we have
1) application server + domain controller
2) two wfes
1) sql server sharepoint
1) SSAS server ( analysis server dbs+ reporting server)
here how i scaled out my SSAS server for better performance
adil

Just trying to get a definitive answer to the question of can we use a Shared VHDX in a SOFS Cluster which will be used to store VHDX files?
We have a 2012 R2 RDS Solution and store the User Profile Disks (UPD) on a SOFS Cluster that uses "traditional" storage from a SAN. We are planning on creating a new SOFS Cluster and wondered if we can use a shared VHDX instead of CSV as the storage that
will then be used to store the UPDs (one VHDX file per user).
Cheers for now
Russell
Sure you can do it. See:
Deploy a Guest Cluster Using a Shared Virtual Hard Disk
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265980.aspx
Scenario 2: Hyper-V failover cluster using file-based storage in a separate Scale-Out File Server
This scenario uses Server Message Block (SMB) file-based storage as the location of the shared .vhdx files. You must deploy a Scale-Out File Server and create an SMB file share as the storage location. You also need a separate Hyper-V failover cluster.
The following table describes the physical host prerequisites.
Cluster Type
Requirements
Scale-Out File Server
At least two servers that are running Windows Server 2012 R2.
The servers must be members of the same Active Directory domain.
The servers must meet the requirements for failover clustering.
For more information, see Failover Clustering Hardware Requirements and Storage Options and Validate
Hardware for a Failover Cluster.
The servers must have access to block-level storage, which you can add as shared storage to the physical cluster. This storage can be iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SAS, or clustered storage spaces that use a set of shared SAS JBOD enclosures.
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

What should be the procedure for export parameter in CATT

Hello Everybody,
I am working with CATT, and the transactions are ME21N and MIGO.
when i am executing the transaction ME21N i will get the Pur Ord Noin the message, and i would like to export Pur Ord No to the transaction MIGO as thr is one field named Purch.ord no in Migo.
what should be the Procedure for exporting a parameter?
Thanks,
Regards Afroz

Hello Afroz,
If you are using eCATT then following is the procedure of capturing messages in the two recording methods - TCD & SAPGUI.
=> TCD Recording Mode:
In TCD recording mode, after dobleclicking on Interface name from the TCD command in the editor on left side, just before the MSG folder DYNPRO folder will appear on right side.
-This DYNRPO folder contains the screen sequences contain the screen occurred during recording time. The last Dynpro of this folder contains the messages occurred during recording.
-Select this last folder & click on Simulate Screen icon of the same Interface editor. It will redirect to the screen where the message values exist. There select the Purchase Order Number and click on Read Field Value icon. Give the name of Export Variable.
The export variable will contain the value of the purchase order number, which can be passed to MIGO.
=> SAPGUI Recording Mode:
In the SAPGUI recording mode, the screen on which the message appeared will be used to capture the variable name, which is Purchase Order Number in this case.
If the Purchase Order Number is second variable of the message displayed(e.g. Purchase Number 2122323 Is Created)
then use the following code -
e.g.
MESSAGE ( MSG_1 ).
SAPGUI ( ME21N_4001_STEP_5 ).
ENDMESSAGE ( E_MSG_1 ).
Assing the value from the message to the export
parameter
P_EC_PurOrdNo = E_MSG_1-[1]-MSGV2.
There are total four MSGV1-MSGV4 variables. Dobule click on MSG_1 of the MESSAGE statement above. Putting the value in the export variable from the right message variable will give the purchase order number.This can be passed as MIGO.
Regards

> I found this under After Effects features, So is this a lie?
Native
64-bit operating system support, multiprocessor utilization, and
OpenGL acceleration help you work faster, taking full advantage of your
computer's power. Unmatched integration with other Adobe software
further streamlines your workflow.
Of the three things mentioned (64-bit, multiprocessing, and OpenGL), two are hugely important and one is minor.
> OpenGL—Interactive or OpenGL—Always On
OpenGL
mode provides high-quality previews that require less rendering time
than other playback modes. OpenGL can also be used to speed up rendering
to final output. OpenGL features in After Effects rely on OpenGL
features of your video hardware.
Yep. It can speed things up. Some. And at the expense of fidelity with the CPU renderer. The OpenGL-Interactive mode is the only one that most people use.
> So you'll need to explain the above comment because I'm not clear about
what you're stating, or at least the part about OpenGl not being
relevant to AE at all.
I said that "OpenGL is not very relevant at all to After Effects", not that it isn't relevant at all.
To use a car metaphor: If I wanted a car that went fast, I'd focus on horsepower, low-weight materials, and good tires first. Then, if I'd maxed all of those factors and still had some money left over, I might buy a spoiler for the back. But that wouldn't be my first area of focus.
Graphics cards can be very expensive. I see far too many people spend all of their budget on this less-important item and neglect the less expensive and more important factors like extra RAM and a second fast hard disk. I'm trying to keep you from making the same mistake.
BTW, the graphics card is much, much more important for Premiere Pro CS5. But that's a conversation for the Premiere Pro hardware forum.
