Workflow for combining C300, C100 and GoPro?

I'm working on a feature documentary and have an overwhelming amount of Canon C300 (MXF), C100 (MTS) and GoPro (MOV) footage.
I'm editing with premiere pro CC and the problem is everything is slowing down and crashing now that there is so much footage in different formats.
What I'd love to do now is convert everything to a universal standard, edit using that, and then relink the media later to the raw footage. I was thinking of converting all the footage to MOV and downgrading to the resolution (720 or even 480) so that the raw footage doesn't take up so much space.
Is this the best way to do this? Will all the files relink later? Does anyone have advice on a good codec to do this in?
Any and all help is appreciated, I'm desperate to fix this problem and get back to editing!

PP should not be crashing because of your footage formats. If it is, something else is likely going on.
Premiere Pro does not have a well designed proxy work flow. I'd reommend skipping that idea and fixing the crash instead.

Best workflow for burning Blu-ray and DVD

Hi,
What's the best workflow for effciency sake for burning both a Blu-ray and a DVD of the same project?
Essientially I'd like to export and create a menu once, then be able to downrez to DVD. However, I'm not sure that is possible since blu-ray and DVD are differnt codecs.
Thank you

The only way that you can get acceptable re-scaling of menus is to go from BR to DVD, and do the editing in Photoshop. Simply re-scaling the menu here will not give acceptable results.
I usually copy the various button layers from the BR menu to a new DVD menu file created using the provided Photoshop preset. You will still have to do some manual re-scaling and alignment. The thing that has given me the most trouble over the years is round button highlights - a segment is often chopped off. Font sizes will probably need adjusting too.
Unless you are adept with handling layers and groups within Photoshop, it may be easier to start again.
Any attempt to convert within Encore is unlikely to produce acceptable menus in my experience.

How can I get Automator to create a workflow for combining .jpgs into pdf?

I have a large folder with many subfolders, and each subfolder has many subfolders. Those last mentioned subfolders have many .jpgs inside which I want to make them into a pdf. The question is, how can I get automator to do this for me? I tried using the help but it only made things even more confusing, it didn't help at all. I also have an app for creating pdfs out of combining pngs, jpgs, gifs, etc. (Combine PDF).
The task of making hundreds of pdfs out of so many jpgs that I have, is there somehow a way I can get automator to do this for me? So far I haven't even found an example with understandable screenshots so that I can get into the correct way of making a workflow do what it is supposed to do correctly.
Please help...

Thank you for your reply, the workflow is opened fine, however I'm not sure how to then get this scripted workflow to do what I want to do? I'm a complete n00b when it comes to Automator, is there perhaps a tutorial for idiots that is known where I could read about starting out with Automator to understand it better?
Thank you

Workflow for combining 3 DVD's to single DVD

Hi all,
I have been trying to convert three individual DVD's of training seminars approximately an hour and a half each into a single DVD. These DVD's were made a while ago and there is no original data to work with. I have been trying to rip with handbrake to AVI, MP4, etc trying to get something that will go into DVD studio to make the new DVD.
I have tried running all the files that I produce into compressor however it will take many days to convert them all according to the system and my waiting 3 days already. Is there a workflow anyone else uses that would do this?
Quality is not too much of a concern as we know it's going to come out ****** anyway, we just need to combine everything to one disc. Thanks for the help!

Just so I'm clear. You want to combine 3 videos each 1.5 hr long onto a single disk - that is, generate a 4.5 hr project?
Even with a dual layer disk, that's a lot of stuff and the bitrate is going to have to go quite low ...
In any case, you are using the wrong tool. You want MPEG Steamclip to extract the files back into an m2v/ac3 format. Once there, they can be brought into DVDSP and a new menu created.
Good luck,

What's the best workflow for Home Movie Importing and Enjoying?

I'm new to iMovie (and the mac) and have started importing all my home movies from my camcorder into iMovie. I quickly realized that movies take a huge amount of disk space and it may or may not be reasonable to import all my movies and keep them on the hard disk in .dv format. At 12GB/Hour I would need 1.2 Terabytes of storage (plus backup). If that is the best workflow, i'm happy to invest in a few terabytes of storage and back up. But before I do that, I want to check to see if there is a different workflow I should follow given my use case.
Here is my use case:
I have 100 hours of 8mm and miniDV tapes already and plan to continue creating more.
I want to import them all into the iMac for ease of organization, searching for the clips of interest, and watch them either on my iMAC and also on my TV (via TIVO).
I may do some editing, but this is not a big priority for me at this time. I may do more editing in the distant future when I have more time. My editing for now will be limited to rejecting portions of clips I don't want.
I plan to watch the movies from my iMac on my TV via my TIVO (i've already ordered the Roxio Toast software that I understand I need, per the Tivo web site).
The final piece of my use case is back-up. I'd prefer to back up my movies on disk this way I maintain any editing i've done in case of a disk failure. Depending on what video format is recommended, this may bump me into a RAID multi-terabyte system as both working and automatic backup?
Here are my questions:
Should I maintain my event library in .dv format? (and bite the bullet on the storage)
Or is the .dv format intended only for temporary editing and users are expected to compress into another format after editing? if so, what format and which tool is recommended? (keeping in mind that I want to view the clips via Tivo and Roxio/Toast).
If I need to byte the bullet and invest in storage, my quick math suggests I'll need about 2 terabytes for the library and 2 more for back up for a total of 4 terabytes!?. Is a RAID system recommended for this? (I was surprised that the Apple store did not carry such a system, so perhaps that is not the best option). What would you recommend?
Anyone out there with a similar use case? I know I've asked a lot of questions here. I'd appreciate any recommendations you may have, even if you cant answer all of them.
Thank you.

I am in a similar mode, though about half as much existing DV footage.
+Should I maintain my event library in .dv format? (and bite the bullet on the storage)+
Short answer, yes; long answer:
I did "bite the bullet" since 1T drives are at or just over $100. I'm using a MacBook Pro so I bought an 2 port eSATA card for my cardbus slot ($34), and a 1T eSATA/Firewire/USB drive ($119). I don't plan to "back up" as I am not going to get rid of my Mini DV tapes/vhs/analog tapes, etc. Those will be in an off-site dark cool closet elsewhere. I don't want to do RAID or such as it still puts everything in the same drive unit, in the same location. Basically I'm splitting my video import to two different physical drives. So if lightning, thieves, personal incompetence or whatever strikes, there's more chance it'll only affect one of the drives. I've thought about a Drobo, which you might consider. It is unique device that offers a spin on RAID that offers some advantages.
Everything I read here on these boards suggests that it is best to grab the source video in the original format whenever possible. Since storage is cheap, makes sense to me.
It is likely you wouldn't compress your video unless you were going to edit it. For example if you wanted to make a video of the kids growing up to give the relatives you'd likely end up compressing to burn them a dvd. You would compress if you were going to use MobileMe, YouTube, etc. to post some footage. Whether you watch the video from home, or output to DVD for others, or post online, at least you'll have the source video in it's best possible original format to work with.
This is an aside, but might be useful, I imported one tape at a time, let iM09 create a new event and split per each day. THen I renamed every event based on what the content was before doing the next tape. This really helps later on once yo realize you have a hard drive with 50 hours + of everything in your life on it. I included the year in the name in some way, for example, John's wedding 1994, Hawaii 2000, Hawaii 2004. Then I ended up drag/dropping Hawaii to one event.

Best workflow for Canon 7D (progressive) and Canon HX-A1s (interlaced)

I have been doing 2 shot interviews using the Canon 7D and Canon HX-A1s. What is the highest quality and most efficient workflow in 29.27 fps with the 7D being progressive and the XH-A1s is interlaced? I have been converting the 7D footage to ProRes 422 (HQ).
What Capture Preset is best for HX-A1s and Sequence Preset for radiating?
Your help would be most appreciated.

If you have the space, capture as ProRes....you can do that via firewire. If you are short, then capture as HDV and just work with it with a green render bar over the footage, and render later. Mixing formats is pretty easy as long as your sequence settings are ProRes.
And your interlaced camera will take on a progressive look. If you are OK with that.

Anybody know the Roadmap for combining NAC Agent and Cisco AnyConnect?

Heard a rumor that Cisco is going to combine the functionality of the NAC Agent and Cisco AnyConnect as far as being an 802.1x supplicant, does anyone have any information about this? Like is it true and if so, any idea when it will happen?

Hi ,
There is no comitted plan for NAC and Anyconnect integration. But Anyconnect now comes with a module called NAM ( network access module) which can do dot1x as well.
Here is the link for that :

Workflow for creating new item and updating list

I believe that the answer is easy, but because I am already having trouble with this issue for few days I am getting blind to see the solution:)
I have two lists and a workflow running behind. Basically when new item is created in first list, workflow makes a copy in second list. Because this workflow works only when new item is added, I have a problem when item is updated, items in second list just
disappear - are empty. I believe that I have a problem with workflow, because somehow I should also have in to update list in case of change.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow you created was not started when an item was updated in first list.
Did you check the option “Start workflow automatically when an item is changed” in SharePoint Designer?
Did you sign in as system accout?
Please use another list to check whether this issue occurs.
If this issue still occurs, please provide screenshot about the details of the workflow in order to find out what goes wrong.
Thanks,

Best workflow for footage in 1440x1080 and vid rate 23.98fps going to a PAL DVD player in europe

I am new at this and still getting a grasp of the technical details. I've made several trips to Germany over the last three years and each time have shot using different settings. Right now I am editing the footage from the first year where I shot 1080i and 24p (Canon XHA1). I've already sent some DVDs with films I edited from this trip, but not sure I've achieved the best result that I can in terms of image quality. What i think i've been doing so far is to edit in the original NTSC, and then when i get ready to burn the DVD to send to my relatives in Germany, I have set the Project Info settings in iDVD to PAL. But from reading the boards I am getting the sense that there are multiple ways to do this, each with varying results. Obviously, I'd like to have my German viewers view a DVD with the best quality picture, and am wondering what is the best way to go about this. I've also read on the boards that most PAL dvd players will play NTSC, which makes me wonder if burning the DVD with iDVD set to PAL is necessary. I've already been told by one of my relatives who has viewed the same film here in america (burned as NTSC) and in Germany (one I sent burned as PAL), that the PAL versions did not have as good a picture quality. Any suggestions?
Also, if you knew that your primary audience was going to be PAL viewers, and you are shooting with an NTSC camera, what would the ideal settings be? On my canon xha1, my frame rate options are 60i, 30f, and 24f. My 'comp out' options are 480i and 080i/480i. My understanding is 1080i50 would be better for PAL, but 25fps is not an option on my camera.
Thanks,
Paul

Well it must be 24 over 29.97 then because it is working with it. I have been able to create timelines and export quicktime movies, etc. The item properties (in FCE Browser) of the clips definitely say 23.98fps-- as I would expect because I know I had the camera set to 24p. However, the frame rate of the sequences i've been editing on say 29.97. This is without me having made any conscious effort to manipulate any settings for the sequences at the outset-- I didn't even know the sequences had settings for this when i started. I just began dragging and dropping footage out of the browser and it must have automatically set the sequence to 29.97. Who knows what I had the Easy Set up set to when i brought the footage over from my camera two years ago. I knew even less then. Are the settings on Easy Set up critical when bringing the footage onto your computer from your camera? What processes are the Easy set up settings governing?
Even with all of that said, you would recommend burning the DVD as an NTSC? An NTSC in a new PAL DVD player will look better than an NTSC burned as a PAL? I suppose I could send them both versions and see which one looks better.
Thanks for you help Tom.
P.S.
On the true 24p issue, I did find this:
There are many posts out there about the Canon XH A1 not having "true 24p".
I think much of that misinformation out there maybe stemmed from (correct me if I'm wrong):
Canon Frame Mode on the standard DV cams was a "simulation: of the 24 frame look.
The Canon HDV 24p actually records each single frame progressively, but using an interlaced method.

Workflow for moving between PPro and AE

I've spent hours trying to get this to work, with no luck and would appreciate help.
I have some HDV footage that's been captured using PPro (mpeg). This footage contains a number of scenes and each scene has a number of takes with only one good take from each scene.
In PPro I know how to extract the best takes of each scene and drop them on a timeline. So far so good. These scenes are shoot with a green screen so what I really want to do is take them over to AE and use the Keylight plug-in.
After having tried various things I eventually too the captured footage into AE to process thinking I'll render it and then use that in PPro. But AE simply fails after about 30 minutes. The whole rendering process (it says) will take about 4 hours (for 15 minutes of footage).
Thanks for any help.
Shiv.

I think AE gets confused with paths if you've not saved the project before you import files (or something). I went back in the AE project and told it where to find each of the "missing" files.
When I'm in AE, everything looks just fine. But back in PPro it looks like that. Yes, a color chart that's kind of masked in the shape of the parts I want to retain.
I think I've got things to work (after fixing the missing files issue).
So let me ask you this...
If I render the AE comp into a lossless (avi) media type and then this use the rendered video in PPro, am I lossing out on quality? I ask because when I do that things are move in realtime in PPro and I'm able to synch sound and other things much better.
So the way I see it (if there is no loss) I get the advantage of the following with the what you've shown me and what I've come up with due to performance issues.
In PPro, from a capture extract out the parts required into a sequence (all by itself). Save the project.
Then in AE createa an new project and save the project. Then import the PPro project and that one sequence. Do what you need in AE and render the comp into a lossless codec.
Then in the PPro project import the rendered video and use it to do what you need to.

Oracle Workflow for Java on 9i and Websphere

Regd Workflow for a new custom page

HI ,
We have created 2 pages for some functionality where in user can login n serach for a person and update certain attributes like his source/company, assignment category etc.
First page he can searach the person and after search results come in, he can click on a link and go to the next page where he can edit the attributes n submit.
Now after updating and submitting the page, we have a reqt to send notifications to the initiator in case the user has approved the txn or rejected or sent for correction. But we dont know how to achive it with the 2 pages n no workflow.
How to launch a workflow for this ?
or is there a way we can send notification from backend without using workflow n it shud still come in the worklist of a person.
