Which share setting to use for Apple TV 1st generation?...

I want to export a project in a format that will play on a 1st generation Apple TV.  But under the Share settings, in Apple Devices, both the 720p and 1080p options indicate they will not work with 1st generation Apple TV.  How do I output my FCPX project so that it will play on a 1st generation Apple TV?
Thanks

Hi Ben B--
I just remembered to read the article of yours that you linked to last night in your response above ( http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/final-cut/preparing-video-web-quicktime-compresso r ).
It's very informative.  I have Quicktime Pro 7, so I guess between it, Finder, and Compressor I have a lot of options for encoding my video projects.
After reading your article, I do have a few questions:
1. Do you think the best initial step is to use File>Share>Master File (default)... in FCPX to create a .mov file (that I could then use in the various ways you describe in your article)?
2. It seems that using the File>Send to Compressor... option in FCPX is a terrible idea as it takes forever.  Do you agree and recommend against using this option?
3. Do the different methods you describe in your article result in different quality levels?  I know the settings you choose in each method will, of course, greatly affect the video's quality, but is the encoding in the different methods better or worse?  For instance, I'm tempted to think using Compressor is better than Quicktime Pro 7, and both are better than Finder. 
4. Also, are there noticeable differences in the speed of the methods you describe?
The answers to these questions would really help me get on the right track as far as what I should be doing to export my FCPX projects in a way that produces good quality in acceptable amount of time.

  • HT4437 Can I use AirPlay for Apple TV 1st generation

    Is it possible to stream from iPad or iPhone to Apple TV 1st generation.

    No, Airplay does not work on AppleTV 1.  The software does not handle the protocol.
    While Apple TV 1 can handle the Airtunes protocol for audio, current iOS versions seems to ignore this from apps like Music.
    Your only option for audio on current iOS I've found is to use Remote app to control an itunes library for music and use 'Airplay' to the AppleTV for the music - iTunes still allows Airplay devices output for audio.
    You could also control AppleTV connected to a Sync or Share iTunes library using Remore but of course computer needs to be running.

  • Which import setting to use for numbering?

    I know that my question is probably addressed in the Aperture manual, but I do not understand it well enough and so am asking for help.  I am going on a four week trip during which I will be using two cameras often on the same day.  At the end of each day I want to import all of my photos to Aperture into one project.  I want the photos in the project to be arranged and numbered sequentially according to the date and time taken, irrespective of which camera was used.  Each subsequent day I will do the same thing, all photos going into the one project.  I will "attach" the same custom name (e.g. Europe) to all images, but want the sequential numbering as I stated.  Thank you!

    As Léonie said, there are good reasons why someone would want descriptive filenames. Another reason is that metadata is, unfortunately, not 100% reliable. It can "drop off" under certain circumstances such as transferring between computers, opening/saving them in different applications, sending through email, etc. I have many files (including photos) with the wrong creation date in the metadata.
    The only reason NOT to rename your master files is that the "don't import duplicates" won't work as it relies on filenames. So if you don't import your entire card, then erase it, you might end up imporing duplicates. But that's another topic.
    To get back to the OP's question, if I understand you correctly you want:
    1. All your photographs to be sorted by date/time in Aperture.
    2. All your filenames to be descriptive.
    3. All your filenames to be sequential.
    To get number 1, you don't need to do anything other than set the date/time in all cameras the same. Aperture will use the metadata to sort them sequentially by date/time irrespective of the filenames.
    To get number 2, just rename on import (or later as batch) to whatever you want.
    To get number 3 is the harder one. If you want the filenames sequential by date/time taken, and you don't want long filenames as I described above, you could store your photographs in a folder outside of Aperture and then import them all after the trip is finished, renaming on import. Or you could do a batch rename after you have them all in. Either way, you'll have to wait until you finish the trip to do it so you can do them all in one go.
    Alternatively, you could import at the end of each day and remember the sequence number you left it at the day before and put that into Aperture when you import the next day. It will work, but it requires you to remember to do it. I know I would screw it up. If you're more disciplined than I am you could try it that way. But you don't import directly from the cameras, you have to drop them into a folder on your Mac first.
    So the process would be, at the end of each day:
    1. Create a temp folder on your Mac to put your photos into.
    2. Copy all photos from Camera 1 into the temp folder.
    3. Copy all photos from Camera 2 into the temp folder.
    4. (Optional) Copy all photos from your phone into the temp folder. Don't use PhotoStream to get related photos from iPhone/iPad. Copy them manually with Image Capture.
    5. Open Aperture and import the entire day's shoot in one go. In "Rename Files" choose "Custom name with Counter" for Version Name (create one if it doesn't exist) and the first day click on the little arrow next to it. This will reset the counter to zero. Give it the name you want (e.g. Europe) and tick Rename Original File.
    The next day do the same. If you haven't imported anything else since, the counter will continue where it left off. You can check (and change) by clicking on the Version Name option and choosing Edit in the drop down. You'll see "Incrementing coutner starting at...". Just ensure that's the next number from the last day's import.
    As I said, Aperture will remember the number, so unless you've imported something else, this should work fine.
    Let me know if it doesn't make sense.

  • Lost remote for Apple Tv 1st generation.

    Hi,
         I've lost my remote for my 1st generation Apple TV and can no longer navigate through the menus.  Can the 1st generation remotes still be purchased. If so where??!  If not can a different remote work to navigate through the menus of a 1st generation Apple TV.  I've tried a 2nd generation remote and it did not navigate through the menus but did make the light on the 1st generation Apple TV come on when I tried to push the buttons.  I've downloaded remote apps. on my iPhone, but without the remote for the 1st generation Apple TV I was not apple to navigate through the Apple TV menus to sync up the iPhone remote app.  Any assistance would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Actually you can use the remote app to control the first generation Apple TV, but you'd need the supplied remote to set it up.
    You don't need the first generation remote, the remote for the second generation model will control either model.
    So assuming you still have your remote for your second generation Apple TV you could configure the first generation Apple TV with it to work with the remote app on the iPad and not need to buy a new remote at all. But if you do buy a new remote, the one sold in the store will be just fine.

  • How do i set up airplay on apple tv 1st generation?

    I have an older first generation AppleTV and want to be able to use airplay. I've read different forums that say you can use airplay if you jailbreak the Apple TV but I have had no success with this. Is there a way to do this without jailbreaking my Apple TV?
    I am open to jailbreaking it if somebody can direct me to a accurate source with this info. Thanks!
    product info: 1st generation Apple TV, 150 GB model , connected it to Toshiba brand LCD HDTV

    you can't airplay to it
    but you can use airtunes which is using it as speaker for the computer in itunes or using airfoil (a paid program which let all audio be played out the speakers of the tv or receiver the Apple TV is connected to)

  • Which sequence setting to use for PAL slideshow?

    Hello All,
    I have a project that I am a little unsure about setting up. The output will be a PAL formatted DVD. The source material is all jpg's from a digital camera. The project is a simple slideshow with music. I'll be formatting the pictures to 720x576 in Photoshop. My question is whether I should be using the basic DV-PAL sequence setting even though it will never be output back to tape. If not what would be the most appropriate setting assuming this will be exported via Compressor and authored in DVDSP?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I'd go for an uncompressed 10 bit setting but that would take some pretty fast drives to play while you edit... a dual 800 FW array would do it or faster. 8 bit might work just about as well and not require the dual.... and either is better than DV.

  • HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

    I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

    I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

    Anthony, thank you very much - this works, though I thought I had tried your process previously without success. I've tried so many things who knows. I've had zero luck going with the Send to Compressor or Export Using Compressor Settings under the Share menu. I'm also finding Compressor 4 to be a real dog on my system even though I have a brand new quad core machine with 8G of RAM. Prior to receiving your post I did come up with a different work process. Using Export Movie from FCP X and then loading the result in Compressor 3 works flawlessly. Thanks again!

  • I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

    I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

    I've looked at that, but on my PC, "look for remote speakers connected with airtunes" isn't an option.
    The only options I get are "prevent ipods [etc] from syncing automatically" , "warn me when [X %] of the data on this computer will be changed" and "forget all remotes". Its also got a list of backups I have saved, as well as a button to reset sync history.
    When I am playing a song, the "airplay" button isn't even visible.
    I am sure that the apple tv setting is on as well. Is there anything else you can help me with?

  • In which country should I use my Apple ID?

    Hello!
    I have bought an used iPhone almost 2 weeks ago and I try to know my device better,
    so I would like to ask some questions
    Questions are about country and location associated with my Apple ID, App Store, iTunes and apps overall.
    To let you begin solve my problem, first I need to say something:
    1. I have created Apple ID without credit card information (using iTunes, 'none' in the credit cards information)
    2. I am from Poland and I have created my Apple ID in Poland (also I've written that I am from Poland while I was creating my Apple ID)
    3. I don't know which country I should associate my Apple ID with
    3. I have recently downloaded many, many apps for my iPhone 4s (using Apple ID associated with Poland country)
    4. I have done many photos, video recordings, messages etc.
    5. I am (currently) using Polish App Store and Polish iTunes Store.
    Here's my problem to solve and my questions to answer:
    1. What disadvantages I have, if I am using Polish iTunes & App Store? (and not for example USA?)
    2. I discovered iTunes Radio is only available in USA (so I have changed Apple ID's country information to United States )
         Why it isn't in any other country?
    3. Once I have downloaded many apps on my iPhone (with Apple ID's country information - Poland) and updated some apps,
         after changing country of Apple ID I have noticed, that there aren't any apps in 'Purchased' section, nor in 'Not on this phone' section.
         There were only apps which I have downloaded using USA Apple ID information.
         The same thing goes with iTunes and downloaded songs in 'Songs' section. (not in Music. in iTunes Store)
         Why it looks like that?
    4. Does Wish List on iTunes Store/App Store changes, when I change country of my Apple ID?
    5. Are sections in the App Store such as 'Editors' Choice', 'App of the Week', 'Top Charts' 'Single of the Week', 'Going to the Cinema'
        are different in every country's App/iTunes Store?
    6. Which apps are only available in United States and not in other countries/Poland?
         I have found, that there aren't Netflix, Paper - stories from Facebook, Facebook Camera, Google Music and many other apps in the Polish App Store.
    7. Are there any songs, albums, movies not available in Polish App Store & iTunes Store?
    And the last question! The most important one!
    Should I stick with poor Polish App Store and Polish iTunes Store or change my Apple ID country to United States? There are definitely more apps in the USA and not available in Poland, the same goes with iTunes Store. The prices are lower than in the Polish App/iTunes Store, where you have to pay in Euro, not even in złoty. If I change my Apple ID to USA I would buy USA gift cards and buy games, songs etc. I will be able to have iTunes Radio, free single of the week etc. Should I change my Apple ID country information? If so, will I have to delete all my apps from iPhone and download them again, being in the United States App Store (to find all my apps in 'Purchased' and 'Not on this iPhone' sections? They really annoy me, iwhen they are not there!)
    Will all my games datas be destroyed? Will I be able to play with my friends on the Game Center? What if someday I will have to change my Apple ID country, because I have moved to another? (maybe from Poland)? Will there be any other disadvantages of using USA iTunes/App Store being in Poland?
    Should I change my Apple ID country information to United States?
    Thank you very much for answering and reading my loooooooooong problem and a lot of questions! I really appreciate your help!

    I have another problem.
    I have deleted all apps from my iPhone 4s and then I have changed my
    Apple ID's country information from Poland to United States.
    After that, I have downloaded all deleted apps.
    But only few are in 'Purchased' section on iPhone!
    I guess only these, I have downloaded using USA App Store, not Polish.
    I am getting frustrated, because I have got too many problems with iOS
    and it doesn't look it will get better... Please help me ASAP! Thanks!

  • Which tool do you use for load testing?

    Which tool do you use for load testing for J2EE application?

    hi,
    i use jmeter for without issues..
    first make sure that the system from where you are doing load testing is in the same lan(without firewall) to that of server. Here you are testing the capacity of server and not the network bandwith.
