What should Ram settings be for FCP 6 doing a slideshow with JPEGS ?

Hi all,
I am doing a Ken Burns effect slideshow in FCP6 that is using JPEGS only.
I have the 24" intel imac 2.4 gig with 4 gigs of Ram installed.
I am wondering what my ram settings in FCP should be.
there are 4 boxes you can fiddle with the numbers.
first two have sliders and go from 0 to 100%
"memory usage"
and also still cache...
what should I be setting these to?
thanks in advance!
I ask because my system bogs right down with only a few layers and effects in place.
what should my sequence settings be as well when working only with JPEG?
I normally edit in easy DV NTSC....

Thanks guys.
I have found that I cannot resize and get a clean movement here in FCP.
I tried the cutting approach jim and that at least got me through the placement of the pics to the song and then I started the motions. I also checked and then unchecked the shadow once I had it set where I wanted. I like to work through each pic from start to finish so i know exactly where I am at each night when I go to bed and then where I start again the next evening after my day job!
haha
but yes unchecking the shadows and feathered edges definately bought me some more time before render.
I appreciate all the helpful advise here. You guys pour so much knowledge out there for us and mostly without even much thanks to you in return.
One question I would still have now that I have fiddled around with all my settings....
would anyone have the time and the knowledge to help me figure out what the "proper" settings should be for my setup for editing regular sd dv ntsc footage?
or when I click easy setup dv ntsc does it configure my system for optimal settings each time?
ie what should my ram settings be?
thanks in advance.
see sig for setup.

  • What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

    What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

    Are you talking about strictly burning an already put-together slideshow or composing one and then burning it?
    My all time favorite slide show maker is Photo to Movie; you can then burn it from there or get it into iMovie and/or iDVD for the "finishing" touch. My favorite burn software is Toast, although you can use iMovie, iDVD, and Finder as well.

  • For uml 295 what should the settings be, for use with windows 7?

    I have a uml 295 mobile broadband device. About 90% of the time even though  the device says it is connected, when I  try to access the  internet I get a message that says "no internet connection".  I have  a windows 7 operating system.  I wonder if the settings on the device are wrong?  I didn't change any defaults or enter any other information under "settings". Do I need to do something else to make this work?

    I don’t get an error message.  The broadband manager says that I’m connected and the timer is running.  But Internet explorer says “you are not connected to a network.” 
    I wouldn’t describe this as “losing” the connection. After I click on “Connect”, the manager says it is connected but IE says I am not connected to a network, and mail program says it can’t contact servers.
    I have 2 dell laptops with very similar factory supplied software (windows 7, McAfee antivirus) and the same thing happens on both computers.  I have a Novatel wireless broadband device that works great on both of these Dell laptop computers. 
    I tried the UML295 on my Dell desktop and it seems to work fine there.  But that’s not where I want to use it.  Maybe the Dell laptops have some software properties that are incompatible with this device.

  • I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

    I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

    I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
    Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
    I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve.  I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.  
    I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade.  Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
    As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
    Good luck.

  • Could you recommend what to convert .mts to for FCP

    I am cutting my first HD project, so apologies for my gaps in knowledge ahead of time...
    I am cutting footage that was supplied to me as .mts files (native to the camera).  These were given to me on a drive, so I do not have the camera.  My question is what do you recommend I convert these file to for cutting in Final Cut Pro 7 (Final Cut Studio 3).
    I am using iSkysoft Video Converter.  I can do it as .mp4, which makes for smaller files (about 4GB)...  I can also do ProRes 422, which makes large files (about 32 GB).  When I do a visual a/b look at these, there are very finite difference in the detail, but not enough to matter for this particular project.  Therefore, what do people recommend that will cut the best in FCP?
    Also, when I import into FCP, do I still go with DV-NTSC for the main setting in FCP Easy Setup?  Or?  Eventually will be out-putting this for a friend that will burn onto a blu-ray.
    Thank you in advance for helping bring me into the modern, Hi-Def world of editing!

    ProRes 422. or ProRes LT if that option is available. It's about 2/3 the size of 422.  FCP does not work with MP4 files. It might APPEAR to, but issues will arise.
    And no, you do NOT use DV/NTSC. That's an SD format, and you are working with HD. Just make a sequence, add a clip to that sequence and click YES when FCP asks if you want it to match the clip settings. 

  • What are the settings required for QM in procurement

    Hi Team,
    What are the settings required for QM in procurement. I have  set indicator for QM in procurement in QM view in material master.
    I am not clear about  following fields to be maintained in QM view.
    QM Control Key
    Certificate type
    Target QM system
    Tech. delivery terms Indicator.
    Please suggest me in which case to be used this fiels. Is it relivant to Quality Certificates.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    All meaning are
    QM Control Key :
    If you activate the indicator for QM in procurement in the material master record at the client level, you must also store a control key at the plant level for quality management in procurement.
    Certificate type :
    Certificate types applies to the Certificate processing in procurement  &  Certificate creation
    Target QM system :
    whether the vendor's verified QM system, according to vendor master record or quality info-record (for a combination of vendor/material) meets the requirements for QM systems as specified in the material master
    -  If you activate the indicator for QM in procurement in the material master record at the client level, you must also store a control key at the plant level for quality management in procurement. If you want Procurment control then accordingly define Control Key.
    -  If you want Vendor's perticular certificate for Material then you have to define Certificate type.
    Also, you have to maintain Material, Vendor's Info record at plant level.
    Thanks,
    JM

    hello , im working with hebrew and the dot  "." isnt correcting to right with the align , i know that in indesign u use with paragraph direction to correct it but here what should i do. sorry for my english

    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..

  • What should be the procedure for  export parameter in CATT

    Hello Everybody,
    I am working with CATT, and the transactions are <b>ME21N</b> and <b>MIGO</b>.
    when i am executing the transaction <b>ME21N</b> i will get the <b>Pur Ord No</b>in the message, and i would like to export <b>Pur Ord No</b> to the transaction <b>MIGO</b> 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

  • 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 is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    #1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
    #2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
    #3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
    #4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

  • What Options I can implement for comunication PC ( lan ethernet) with SNA S

    What Options I can implement for comunication PC ( lan ethernet) with SNA Server (Lan Token Ring) :
    To see file
    thanks you,
    jj González

    What version of SNA server are you using?
    SNA server version 3 and higher support tn3270/tn3270e (for mainframe connectivity) and tn5250 (for as/400 connectivity) clients. The ms windoes telnet client does not support those protocols so you need a 3270 and/or 5250 emulator from another vendor, such as NetManage or Hummingbird.
    This assumes that you have a routed network between your workstation and the sna server.
    If your network is bridged, then you need to use an emulator that works with the native sna protocol, as the sna server supports that as well. The NetManage and Hummingbird emulators will work in this case too.
    Try to use the tn3270/tn5250 as the first choice as it does not require a bridged backbone. SNA is not a routeable protcol by default.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with the Dispatcher?

    It seems as if the Dispatcher is restricting access to the Query Builder (/bin/querybuilder.json) as a best practice regarding security.  However, the Calendar relies on this endpoint to build the events for the calendar.  On Author / Publish this works fine but once we place the Dispatcher in front, the Calendar no longer works.  We've noticed the same behavior on the Geometrixx site.
    What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with Dispatcher?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure what exactly you are asking but Muse handles the different orientations nicely without having to do anything.
