Which Offline RT to use, if any?

Help!
I have three six minute videos due by 3/22. I am just beginning with FCP. Here's my question...
My media drive has 300gig available. With approximately 250 minutes of source material to digitize I fear I may run too low on space capturing uncompressed. I am digitizing with the AJA IO. My source material is 90 percent Beta, and 10 percent MiniDV from a GL2 via firewire.
Should I …..
A) use the “Offline RT NTSC”setting and then redigitize only the sequence material needed? When I try this, I get a warning that reads; “UNABLE TO LOCATE EXTERNAL DEVIVE…APPLE FIRE WIRE 720X480”.
B) use "AJA IO – NTSC 8 bit to Offline RT". Since my show will be projected, I really would like the end result to be as high quality as possible. However, when I use the MEDIA MANAGER to bring back my show at high rez, it appears to be redigitizing, but then my clips in the timeline still are jpeg size.
What am I doing wrong? I hope I explained this well. I’m confusing myself at this point.
Thank you

hi Casey
use option B)
you're digitize from source using the AJA IO but you need to capture at low rez as you don't have disc space ... hence AJA IO - NTSC 8 bit (source) to Offline RT (capture), the input to the AJA is NTSC 8 bit and it transcodes to the Offline RT codec in realtime during capture.
make sure your timeline is set to Offline RT
when you have finished your cut you then need to use Media Manager to "Create Offline" and set the codec to Uncompressed 8 bit, and then recapture from source but this time in all its uncompressed glory, but only those clips necessary for the edit.
its a good idea to familiarize yourself as much as possible with the workflow before you launch into it so test it out first. check out these tutorials on the process at Ken Stones website, here:

Which color profile to use, if any, for web?

Hi,
For years, I've been accustomed to saving JPGs for web use by including the sRGB color profile.
However, I now realize that IE either discards color profiles, or forces a new one on them (took me this long to notice because while I always proof-check my code through IE, I never paid close attention to image colors 'til now). Meanwhile, Firefox actually uses the ones the JPGs were saved with, so I see the exact same thing in Photoshop as I do in Firefox.
Anyway, as I was saying, I just noticed the colors are very different in IE. In fact, trying to match a hexadecimal color value with a JPG is pretty much impossible as long as both IE and FF interpret JPG colors differently.
As a test, I tried saving a JPG with no color profile included. Interestingly, it showed up near identically in both FF and IE.
Which begs the following question :
Why the hell have I been using color profiles all this time? :-(
Another observation I made is that the Adobe RGB color profile more closely resembles the No Color Profile state than sRGB does (sRGB is a lot less saturated color-wise).
So what is it I need to do now?
1. Go over the entire website and re-save all images with no color profiles.
2. Go over the entire website and re-save all images with Adobe RGB color profile.
The goal here is that I want my hexadecimal color values to match what's on the JPG (for example, when a gradient ends and goes to a flat color state, I'd like to be able to fill that region with a hexadecimal color value instead of using more images needlessly... but for this to be a seemless transition, everyone needs to agree and match).
Thanks.

I've been doing something completely different.
To the extent that a color needs to match or be like a color that is a background on my website (which is the usual issue I run into with color differences), I make a .PNG or .GIF file and use transparency. That way I don't get the problems associated with color profiles and web safe colors.

How to see if a DSO is used in any transformation

Hi Friends,
I am starting a new dataflow for a new release, lot of DSO's have been created in previous release, I want remove the objects which are not actually used in any reporting. However there a DSO which is used in one look up this i found when i went thru the code. However there are lot of unused DSO which i like to decommission, but am not sure if those DSO have been used in any transformation, and there is no proper documentation available either, hence its becoming challenging to identify each DSO.
I have used table RSAABAP to see if i can get some concrete info, in that table i got CODE-ID, but with that i cannot identify which other DSO or transformation are using this DSO in the look ups.
Can someone please throw some light on how to identify this issue?.
Regards
BN

Hi Kumar,
Just to rephrase my understanding on your issue :
The issue you are facing is , You have many DSO, which you feel that is not required, but you are not sure weather to delete them or not......as some other transformation might be using the Active table of DSO in the Start/End/Expert Routine.....which you have decided to deleted........
Now below are some options
1) Direct way is display dataflow.......which will tell you where is the direct transformation between the source and Target data target. Now here you will miss those data Targets which are reading the DSO active table in routine.
2) For Lookup/Reads in routines :Find out the Active table technical name of DSO ( /BIC/AXXXXXX00)
      GOTO -
      SE11---> Database table = /BIC/AXXXXXX00
      Click on whereused list icon.....then you can select almost everything from available option available and execute... It will give the Program ID where your DSO is used.
Hope this helps...
Thanks

Under the Effects-Lumetri Looks-Desaturation choose a B and W effect. Then add the luma corrector from the Video effects-colour correction section. Adjust the brightness and contrast to get the effect you want.

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Can my charger, which originally shipped with my iPod A1040 be used with any of the following models without damaging the battery?

I know this is a complicated question, but any detailed explanation as to why or how I appreciate it as I have tested and it does actually charge the 1136, 1051 and 1236, but I have been reluctant to try it on the A1288.
Question:
Can my charger, which originally shipped for the iPod A1040 be used with any of the following without shortening the battery life or damaging it?
iPod A1136 (tested, does charge)
iPod A1051 (tested, does charge)
iPod A1236 (tested, does charge)
iPod A1288
Thanks,
Josh

Yes, you can use the iPod Mini charger with the new 5th Gen iPod.

Delete COPA characteristics which not used in any operating concern

Hello SAP experts,
Please advise me on how to delete PA characteristic "WW001" created by mistake that we are hoping to delete if possible. However, when attempting to delete in KEA5, the error log appear as
Data element RKEG_WW001 is used in these table/view
CACS_S_COND_MA

KOMGFNEW
KOMGFOLD
KOMP
KOMPAKE

TRCON_IT_KOMP
WB2_EKOMP
And does not allow the deletion
WW001 have already been delete from the operating concerns.
Please shed some light on how to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
In order to delete a characteristic you should perform
the following activities:
1. Delete the corresponding characteristics and value fields from
Customizing in all clients (this includes forms, reports, planning
layouts, and so forth). To locate characteristics and value fields, use
the appropriate where-used list in the Customizing Monitor. You can
access it by choosing Tools -> Analysis -> Check Customizing Settings
(TA KECM).
You can jump directly from the where-used list to the relevant
Customizing transaction and then delete the appropriate field there.
2. Switch to the screen for maintaining the data structure of an
operating concern (Maintain operating concern).
3. If you need to effect other changes to the datastucture for the
operating concern before making any deletions, effect those changes and
save the data structure.
4. In order to be able to select the fields of the data structure,
choose Extras -> Characteristics (or Value fields) -> Unlock.
5. Select the characteristics and value fields to be deleted and remove
them from the data structure with the "Reset fields" function.
6. Reactivate the operating concern. The system starts by checking
whether the operating concern contains any data and whether the fields
to be deleted are still being used in any Customizing settings.
7. If none of the fields are still in use, the system then starts the
re-activation. If the operating concern does not contain any data or
does not require the database system to be converted, the tables are
activated. You are then able to activate the environment for the
operating concern. In this case, the following activities no longer
apply.
If the operating concern already contains data, a system message tells
you that the database needs to be converted. If you proceed, an
activation log appears (at the top of the list).
8. Analyze the activation log. If it only contains error messages
telling you to convert the tables, proceed with the next activity.
You must otherwise remove the cause of the errors before the tables can
be converted. In this case, you should answer "No" to the next prompt,
which asks whether the conversion transaction should start.
9. If you still only receive error messages telling you to convert the
tables, choose "Back" and start the conversion.
10. Plan a job for the conversion. A list of the tables to be converted
is shown for this. If the tables only contain a small amount of data
(less than 10 000 records), then all the tables can be converted in one
job. In that case, you can select all the tables.
For larger tables, conversion should take place in several jobs.
However, you should ensure that table CE4xxxx (where xxxx = operating
concern) is the last table to be converted.
Warning. No other changes can be made to the operating concern during
the conversion.
A copy of the table is generated during the conversion. The database
system should have sufficient memory available for this copy.
To schedule conversion as a job, use the "Schedule selections" function.
You can display the current status of the conversion by selecting the
"Refresh" icon. Tables disappear from the list once they have been
converted sucessfully. If a conversion is taking a while, it is also
possible to leave the transaction. You can then continue the conversion
using DB requests -> Mass processing in one of the following ways:
With the job overview. You access this by choosing System -> Services -> Jobs.
Using the database utility transaction. You access this by choosing
Utilities -> Database Utility in the ABAP Dictionary menu.
You can use the status function to call up the status of the operating
concern during operating concern maintenance. You need to activate all tables after conversion.
11. To analyze errors that have occurred during the conversion, you can use the database utility transaction by choosing Extras -> Logs. The log
has the same name as the conversion job: TBATG-date. You can also restart the conversion with this transaction.
For more information on the database utility, choose Help -> Application
help while still in the above transaction.
12. Once you have activated all the tables in the operating concern,
generate the operating concern environment from within operating concern maintenance.
You can then use the operating concern again.
Please, refer to the IMG documentation under Controlling ->
Profitability Analysis -> Structures -> Define operating concern
-> Maintain operating concern, for further details.
It is not possible to transport information about 'deleting of
characteristics (value fields)' with transaction KE3I. Only
characteristics and value fields included in operating concern (to be
transported) are transported with KE3I. Deleted characteristics and
value fields are ignored. You have to delete these characteristics and
value fields manually in each system.
Best regards,
Maria Luisa

Many thanks for the diagnostics.

Identify tables which are not used in any access seq.

Hi
Need to identify those tables (A500 - A999) which are NOT used in any access sequence (table T682I).
Not sure how to do this.
Thanks for the help

Hi Karen,
if you don't want to use SE11 and see it on one glance, you could use the following coding:
DATA: it_t682i TYPE TABLE OF t682i,
      wa_t682i TYPE t682i,
      it_missing TYPE TABLE OF t682i,
      wa_count TYPE kotabnr VALUE 499.
SELECT * FROM t682i INTO TABLE it_t682i
              WHERE kvewe = 'A'
              AND kotabnr BETWEEN 500 AND 999.
DO.
ADD 1 TO wa_count.
READ TABLE it_t682i INTO wa_t682i
             WITH KEY kotabnr = wa_count.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    CLEAR wa_t682i.
    MOVE wa_count TO wa_t682i-kotabnr.
    APPEND wa_t682i TO it_missing.
ENDIF.
IF wa_count = 999.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
BREAK 'your user'.
The table it_missing is just a quicky solution, you could use a table with just one field or use write to print the result.
Hope that helps!
Regards
Nicola

Thanks, it worked first time that I double clicked as you suggested.
Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs? They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
Now I have it open- it works and..................... it does look pretty neat.

Please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.
