Which is better for the keying (chroma key)..?

for using chroma key and blue/green screen, which is better, final cut pro or final cut express. Im new with this I dont have either or am familar with either...Also, is dvMatte Pro or whatever from http://www.padd.com/dvg/prod/prod.php?prod=dvmattefcp&view=dvg a plugin for final cut? Does Final cut not already have the keying feature? Why would I need that plugin (if it is a plugin)?

no matter what you're talking about (except price), FCP is better for everything. basically, FCE is a watered down version of FCP. the differences depend on what you want to do with it. but as far as keying, they are relatively the same. after looking at dvmattepro's site, I can't seem to figure out what it is, but the only conclusion I can come to is a plugin that saves you time keying. yes, keying will take a lot of time in FCE/FCP, and it is tricky to get right, but you don't need anything that final cut doesn't give you. check out apple's product descriptions (and numerous discussions on this forum) for details about FCE vs. FCP, or about keying.

Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity? Which is better for the life of the battery?

I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery? Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now. I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial & overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
Any advice/comments please

Dark or bright theme? Which is better for the eyes?

Hello!
Recently i have found on kde-look.org a dark color scheme named Optimal. Author of this theme, on the basis of two web sites, argues that dark themes are better for the eyes or reduces eyes strain. There was a great discussion on Stackexchange forum with very different opinions. I have found out that for me the best color scheme is black on dark grey.
What is your thought? Which color scheme is better for the eyes by your opinion?

Really? No offense, but this is becoming a signicant problem now that there is so much "information" available: people cannot critically evaluate the source of information.
Graysky sensibly raised skepticism about the "random person on the internet" that you referred to. And in response you not that he, in turn, cites two other "random people on the internet". The fact that one web page links to other web pages that agree with it, does not make it's claims any more reliable.
I would not be surprised if there was good research on this - and I myself tend to like dark themes - but random links are just that: random links.
First of all – i didn't say anything about "scientific sources" etc., i just said that it was based on two internet sources which can be or not true. Nevertheles, it is interesting because this color scheme is built systematically on premises in these websites. I didn't say it is true but it is interesting, tough. And that led me to create this topic in order to better educate myself regarding colors.

Reference or Library? Which is better for the long run?

I decided to waste a day and re-organize my disorganized database of photographs held within aperture. I don't have any experience with referencing files but I was considering whether there are pros and cons to having files externally referenced versus having them within the Aperture library.
My habits are non-routine and I shoot pretty much anything, so I'm looking for a system that will ensure my library is flexible, stable, and safe for future use and access.
I suppose the only reason I can think of for referencing is having some control of where the actual files are so I can access/refer to them with other apps.
Please share your thoughts, experiences, and preferences.

I guess you are right about the duplicates still being an issue even if you find them outside of Aperture, since you still need to delete the links within Aperture, correct?
I never really worked with migrating projects except for moving the sample projects out to save space.
I was trying to think of how I will manage a RAW library when I can get my hands on that equipment, but migrating projects doesn't seem like such a bad thing to do. In fact, it seems rather ideal. Most of the time, I only need access to certain projects in certain parts of the year, and the rest of the time I never touch the photos.
You all have convinced me to give the managed library another go as I restructure my database. But I am still looking for the best ways to catch duplicates within Aperture. I know that you can stem them upon import, but Aperture's import duplicate-recognition technology in not consistent at all for me. Photos can be exactly the same but if they were not imported from the same source (i.e. memory card vs. finder folder) then Aperture won't think anything of it.
This is off topic, but is there a way to customize Aperture's duplicate detection? You would think that a pro software (and Aperture is pro, right?) would allow this. I might start a new thread on this topic.
The reason for my current obsession with duplicates is that I have a library of 12.5 GB of photos that I am pretty certain are already in Aperture, but when I test an import with the check box for not importing dupes, Aperture considers all the photos new. I then go in and find that none in that folder are new, but instead that they are all already in Aperture as is. Granted, I'm not worried about dupes taken after my migration to Aperture but for all of my photos before then, I'm kind of in a bind still.

Which is better for the battery life?

Should I keep the charger plugged in constantly or use up all the battery life and charge only when the battery life is near 0% and charge until full?
I want to keep the battery life as long as possible. Thank you!

Which is better for computer and program... sleep or turn off?

When not using, which is better for the program, sleep or turn off the computer and any explanations are welcome...

I advise shutting down rather than sleep. A good shut down often clears up nascent problems, and of course you're saving electricity by not running your machine and also saving those precious MTBF hours on all the mechanical components. Think of the hours it would sleep vs. the number of hours you actually use the machine. Even though sleep consumes less electricity, it still consumes.

What is the best chroma key software for a Mac?

I have the lighting, the green screen...all I need now is the software. I'm led to believe there is a better program than Photoshop for use with chroma keying...I just need some suggestions! Anyone?

If you're doing stills and not working in video Photoshop will be more than adequate for what you need. But, unless you're going to drop your subject onto a greenish sort of background, I would stay away from greenscreen and go for a tone that will give you contrast around your subject and a color that is in the same vicinity of what you're going to be using later. Unless you really know what you're doing, and often when you do, you are bound to get some degree of wraparound from the background, and if that wraparound is green, it will only complicate your project.
Having done more of these projects that I care to think about or even remember, take my advice... or not.
The masking tools built in to Photoshop CS5 are really pretty good now. That's what I would use, but if you don't have the latest version or haven't mastered them yet, there are several third party masking programs you can try. Fluid Mask, MaskPro and Ultimatte Knockout come to mind. Ultimatte was the tool of choice for a long time but has suffered from zero support or updating from Corel. The other two offer 30 day trials. Have fun.

Touch typing/ergonomics: which fingers for the apple (command) key?

I've been using Apples since I started using computers in the early nineties, but I only recently learned to touch type.
On the PCs I have in the lab I use my little finger for the control key.
Which fingers work best for the apple/command keys?
I've looked on the web to no avail.

Hi!
I use my middle finger for the apple control key. I usually have my fingers on the touchpad about the time I want to use the apple key. I am a strange touch typer, however.
Really, it is all based on what YOU are comfortable with. If you find it ackward, if 1,000,000 people say its right, its still wrong. Experiment.
Touch typing is one of those beautiful, adjustable skills.
Once you find one that is comfortable, just make certain that you keep doing the same thing, or you won't learn the keys perfectly.
Good luck!

Thanks & Regards,

SCD - source sets where multiple changes exist for the same natural key

I am using the Oracle SCD type2 method (end date old record and insert the new record) which was working fine until my source set contained multiple changes for the same natural key. Does anyone know of a way to handle this?
Thanks

Hello,
I think, the way of handling multiply changes of NK is totally depend on business requirements for your project.
There could be number of approaches for this. For example:
- all changes but the last are considered active during one day, going subsequently right after previously existed SCD record;
- all changes but the last are considered active depending on its occurrence within fact data (as far as you consider NK change based on some attribute set - probably some of attributes show themselves within fact data)
- etc.
So, make an agreement upon this with your customer and ETL design decision will follow immediately.

Changing the linked image for the Image Matte Key doesn't work

When I change the linked image for the Image Matte Key in Photoshop, the link does not change in my Premiere Pro CS6. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times going into the Image Matte Key setting and locating the new matte in Explorer (each time having to re-locate the folder that the matte is in) to see it within the premier monitor. Any suggestions?

Hi
The commands work correctly here on the same OS etc: Cycle Locators jump to the next/prev marker and the Playhead jumps to the Start of the Marker.
Default KC are Control Command +Arrow Left/right
Step 1: check you are using the correct key command :-)

all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I

more than other versions...

Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
Hope this cleart your doubt..

Which is better for newbies?

Which is better for newbies, Jgrasp or Netbeans? I need something that explains errors more thoroughly than Jgrasp.

Here's my code with 3 errors. Now bear in mind that my program has compiled completely and ran correctly up to this method. All I'm trying to do with this method is get the average of all grades in a multi-array. I researched and found some code that was similar to what I needed to do but it's not working out yet. All other methods in my program work perfectly but I can't get this one to compile.
public double getMean(int allGrades[][])
          int total = 0;
          for (int grade : allGrades)
          total += grade;
     System.out.println("Total is "+getMean(grades));
          return total/allGrades.length;
} // end class GradeBookGradebook.java:100: illegal start of type
          return total/allGrades.length;
          ^
Gradebook.java:100: <identifier> expected
          return total/allGrades.length;
          ^
Gradebook.java:100: <identifier> expected
          return total/allGrades.length;
