Which Easy Setup when using stills only?

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone knows which Easy Setup preset option I should choose if I'm not using video at all, but just jpeg images to create a movie. I'm outputting for DVD to show on a regular (4:3) television.
Thanks,
Vic

Depending on your region: DV-NTSC or DV-PAL...

Which Easy setup to use?

I just upgraded to FCP 5.1.2 and a new HDV video camera (Sony HDR-HC3) and have just reformatted and installed the Final Cut Studio suite and Shake. Now when entering the setup for FCP--what Easy Setup would be best? HDV 1080i (50,60, 24, 25)?
Thanks.

When using headphones, only the left side works, HELP?

When using headphones, only the left side works when plugged into the macbook. I've tried 3 different working pairs of headphones and different media types and nothing seems to fix it. HELP?

Hi atgoetz,
Usually this is indicative of a bad headphone jack on the machine end, especially if you've tried three different pairs of known good headphones. Unfortunately there's not much you do to resolve the issue, externally. Considering it's a new machine no sense trying to fix something and making it work. I'd reach out to AppleCare for service on the unit and if it's brand new, possibly arrange a replacement unit.

Easy Setup - Format used for importing MPEG-4 clip

I am trying to import a movie to FCE and wonder which format should be set in the Easy Setup. Thx
Used MPEG Streamclip to check the info:
Video Tracks:
Generic MPEG-4, 640 × 480, 29.97 fps, 997 kbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG Layer-3 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 64 kbps
Used QuickTime Player Inspecter to check the info:
DivX 6.0, 640x480, Unknown
MPEG Layer3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz

You'd better first convert the movie (using MPEG Streamclip you already have) to the standard NTSC format: open your file in MPEG Streamclip, then Export to QuickTime (cmd-E - NOT Export to DV!) with Compression: Apple DV-DVCPRO/NTSC, Quality: 100%, fps: 29,97, Audio: uncompressed, Stereo, 48 KHz.
Then in FCE select the DV-NTSC Easy Setup before creating the sequence you'll use for editing.
Finally import the converted .mov file into FCE and drag it into the new sequence in the timeline.
That should do it, and the resulting .mov will not require video nor audio rendering.

Editing 16:9 mp4 files from .mod ....what easy setup to use?

Hi everybody....I am trying to get started on an edit of some 16:9 mp4 files that I created from .mod files using MPEG Streamclip. I can now import the files into FCP and chose DV NTSC Anamorphic as the easy setup, and am having two problems for starters:
1. The canvas window is showing me the edit as a 4:3 letterbox
2. When I try to render clips, I get the message: "Render Error: Insufficient Disk space. Free up space with render manager and retry?" ....but even if I try to gain space by using that manager there is nothing in the list to remove anyway.... and so I am unable to render clips.
Any suggestions?

#1 - FCP doesn't edit mp4 files. That is not an editing codec. Convert to DV/NTSC using MPEG STREAMCLIP.
#2 - if you drop a clip into the timeline and have to render, that is a BIG CLUE that something is wrong. You should never have to render just a base clip if everything is setup right. That means converting the footage to DV/NTSC, and using the same settings in FCP.
#3 - Where is your media stored? And what type of SCRATCH DISK do you have? do no use your system drive to store footage or render to.

MAcbook Pro 10.5.1 intermittently switching off when using battery only

Very recently, my macbook pro has started switching itself off. It only happen when using the battery and the charge meter (on the battery) still shows at least 50% charge. It would appear that I can not reboot wither until the mains are attached again. I no longer receive the warning message regarding reserve power, and have previously run the lappy down to 5-6% charge before a recharge.
I have had 10.5.1 installed since its release, and this issue has only just started in the last week, despite daily usage.
Has anyone else had this or similar issues? It seems unlikely thatt it is hardware and I've cchecked the connections and they appear ok. Please help, its very annoying.
Thanks in advance,
Graham

This sounds exactly like what was happening to me last fall - around Labor Day. This is a battery problem not an OS problem. I called Apple Care and they sent a new battery (after we tried all the PRAM stuff, etc.). The new battery took care of the problem.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Why is photo black and color draining when using black only?

I am printing in fast draft, black only, why is my photo black being used?
Am I wrong thinking photo black is just for the photo tray?
Also my colors seem to be used as well.

Hi,
Color inks will drain slowly even we use black only because from time to time the printer needs to clean the print head(s) specially during warming up process.

BH

Corrupted render .. only when using stills in FCP.. strange ?

Built my sequence which consisted of 720p footage (from a 7D). It also contained still images from the same camera. In FCP plays back fine.
I then send to color and perform various effects.. mainly a primary in and also some color corrections.
When I render this its all garbage..
If I redo the sequence without the stills it works fine... ????
Any ideas please ? (Apart from my work around of having to remove the stills then adding back in afterward..)

I'm in need of help deciding which power setup to use with new MBP

Hello all,
So - after using an original 1.83 MBP for many years w/Aperture... I've recently acquired a new MBP!
and initially I had the power setup for better battery life... and often found myself wondering, "hmmm...considering this thing has way more juice under the hood - it sure doesn't run much quicker than the old one?!?!"
And then I realized - I had the lesser video chip running!
When I turned on the better performance - and then ran Aperture (likely my most demanding process) holy Crap! Does this thing Fly!!!
Now the problem; hence my question - is:
"is there a way to set it up so that while under battery power it runs on the better battery life option, yet when plugged in to endless power - it will run on better performance?" it would be much nicer - let alone make much more sense if this option was clear-cut & simple to select... or am I just missing it some where in the menus? Seems that you can only have one or the other, despite battery or plugin power. And to switch means logging out and the re-logging back in...?!?!?!
Any thoughts?

"is there a way to set it up so that while under battery power it runs on the better battery life option, yet when plugged in to endless power - it will run on better performance?"
No, there isn't. You're right — it would be nicer if there were.
Seems that you can only have one or the other, despite battery or plugin power. And to switch means logging out and the re-logging back in...
That's correct.

When using RTMP, only the sample files will stream?

I am using the exact same code and placing the f4v file in the same directory that the sample files are in, but if I change the name on the file it will not stream, connection error! Only plays the sample files?

Hi,
Firstly I wanted to clarify if you're gertting a connection error, i.e you're not able to make a connection to the application itself, or if you're getting an error when you try to play your stream (like Stream Not Found)?
Since you've mentioned that you're able to play sample files, I'm assuming that you're able to make connections to the application successfully.
Coming to the problem with playback of custom media, are you using the sample vod application to playback your files or are you copying the code into a different application and then using that?
If you have copied the files from vod into a custom application then the application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams still points to that under the vod application. So you're able to play the sample files as they are present under root_install/applications/vod/media (the default media location for vod app) but not your f4v files placed in custom_application/media directory, as it is not looking in that folder.
To point the virtual directory to a custom location, in the Application.xml of your application either change/add the following tag with the folder path :
<Application>
          <StreamManager>
                    <VirtualDirectory>
      
      <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams> //default. Can be removed
      <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>                   //default. Can be removed
      <Streams>/;path_to_your_media_folder</Streams>      //add this
                    </VirtualDirectory>
          </StreamManager>
After this Resart FMS and retry. You should now be able to play your media.
The same holds for the live application. The folder where the published streams are mapped points to the live application folder. If you have a custom application you can edit this path the same way.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Apurva

I have an old user name tht is no longer accessible. I access fierfox through a new user name. I have copied the profile from the old user name. Can I have 2 profiles from which to choose when using firefox in the under the new username?

I have a user name on my computer that was tied in with the domain name of the server at my workplace. I would access Firefox under this user name. I have now changed jobs, and for good and obvious reasons can no longer utilize my previous company associated username.
I have set up a new username on the same computer. When I access Firefox, all of my old bookmarks are gone, because Firefox does not recognize me under the new username as the same person. In the meantime, I have established new bookmarks under the new username.
I have copied my profile from Firefox under my old username. Can I have two profiles under my new username and pick which one I want to use at that time when accessing Firefox?
I am running Windows 7 Professional, with 4 gig ram, Intel i3 CPU, 2.13 GHz, 64 bit operating system, Firefox 7.0.1
Thank you

W520 no PXE-Boot when using UEFI only

Hello!
When I switch my W520 to UEFI-only there is no LAN-Boot-Option any more. I disabled all other devices and only left PCI-LAN in Boot-Order but then my laptop shows me a empty Boot-Manager. I already searched google and all UEFI-Options but did not find any solution.
The UEFI-Version is 1.38 (the one from June 2012)...
Am I the only one who has this problem?! Did not find anything on google with the typical keywords...
Thanks!

Yes. Booting to GPT disk has nothing to do with PXE.

Yahoo sent mail not saved to server when using Mail only.

Why does my Yahoo sent mail not get saved to the server when I use Apple's Mail program? (I have it saved in settings to keep sent mail on server). I can see it in my Sent mail folder on Apple Mail but not on the yahoo server. It's an IMAP account and it works fine on my iPhone.
I have tried changing the outgoing ports as well and erasing the account and reinstating it on the Mail program. No luck.

This solved my questionRe: Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0
Dec 8, 2011 5:14 PM (in response to ernestobenedict)
I finally figured out how to fix this; under the mailbox menu there is an option to "use this mailbox for" that allowed me to select the Sent Items folder from my Yahoo IMAP list of folders and make it the default for sent items from the Mac OS X mail software! "
Thanks to ernestobenedict for this solution!!!

Listener setup when using multiple databases on same cluster

Hi,
In our 2-node RAC cluster, we have 5 databases running on the same cluster. Since we are using SCAN listener on port #1521, does this mean db port# for all databases is 1521?
If I decide to use a unique port# (other than SCAN port#), what are the choices?
ENV: 11gR2, 2-node RH 5.x
Thanks!

The answer to your question depends on how it was configured.
My recommendation ... run some tests and see if that is the way it was done.

Garbage on console when using read-only entitiy beans

Hi.
I added some RO beans to out deployment, and it seems that it resulted
degredation in performance. The reason might be is that for every call for a
RO bean, there is something written in the weblogic window:
ejbContext == null- false
lockClient.equals pk- false
is it some leftover from debugging ? ;-)
it doesn't show on the weblogic.log though.
anyhhow, I'm using WLS 5.1, SP3, on NT and Solaris.
thanks.
