Workflow guides for P2, RED, XDCAM, AVCCAM, and DSLR

You've probably seen some of these before, but here's a post that pulls them together:
"workflow guides for P2, RED, XDCAM, AVCCAM, and DSLR cameras and footage"

Nice work Todd.
Now...what is the chance of something similar for "Audio in Premiere Pro" please
I have avoided doing too much to do with audio in PPRO and ALWAYS leave it to the audio pros that I have access to.
Recently I had reason to do a bit more myself in a couple of projects.( budget and time constraint made me do it)
Meant mixing a few tracks in PPRO for some Presentation type videos I produced for a client.
I fudged it a bit with some rudimentary live mixing and got an acceptable result but I could have done better if I had know a bit more ( and had a bit more practice). Actually I quite enjoyed the process to my surprise.
Even after reading up the manuals (I still had them from CS2/3) , I found they informed me about the "mixer tools - Off, Read, Write, Latch etc.." but they did not give a great amount of information on how/why to use them.
LIttle workflow tutorial would be great.

To compile a Lightroom 4 beginners workflow guide for tone

An absolute beginner of Lightroom (like myself) will find all the sliders in the Basic Panel hard to understand and overwhelming as they are powerful tools. The purpose of this thread is to design a workflow list that a beginner can easily follow and understand when using the Basic Panel and its tone controls.
What we don’t want here is advanced explanations and techniques, just the very basics for the absolute beginner to understand and follow.
As an absolute beginner I thought I’d start of this thread with my own workflow list for the basic panel tone controls, and just to let people comment on why parts of it are right, and why parts may be wrong, and how it can be perfected. The idea in the end is to compile a perfect workflow list for a beginner to follow, with brief (not advanced) explanations of each step.
Please note that Adobe highly recommends starting at the top slider and working down the panel.
So here goes, here’s the first list (remember to follow the list in its order):
The histogram is a graph, a graphical representation of all the different tones in your image (from the darkest through to the whitest) and is displayed at the top right of the develop module. Along its bottom edge it displays the amount of tones that are in your image, with the darkest displayed on the left and the brightest tones displayed on the right. Going up the graph is the numerical level of each of those tones in your image. Ideally in any image the graph should have tones that are both near to black and near to white thus giving a full dynamic range. The basic panel tone sliders affect those tones.
Exposure (adjusts all the tones, and depending on which way you slide will make them all either brighter or darker – It is fairly linear, i.e. increasing or decreasing all tones by the same amount, but effecting the mid tones the most. It will stop short of pushing tones too near to absolute black or white and thus will cause bunching (compression) of tones in those areas if overly applied, so don’t over use it).
Contrast (Contrast between the blacker and whiter tones will be changed once you use the exposure slider, especially as the midtones are the most effected. The contrast slider is used to correct this. Increasing it pushes the darker tones nearer to black, and the whiter tones nearer to white thus increasing contrast. If you’re familiar with a curves tool, then imagine on the curves graph (not the histogram’s) an s-curve drawn around the midpoint of the tones. Tones below the midpoint are darkened, and above it are brightened).
Highlights (if after using the exposure and contrast slider you have white clipping (tones or colours that have been increased so much that they have reached white instead and can go no further) then you can recover them by decreasing the highlights slider. You can obviously use this slider to increase highlights too if you come across an image that you feel needs it, but it is used mostly as a recovery tool. Clicking the 2 triangles on each side of the histogram can turn on the clipping display, showing you when any tones become clipped).
Shadows (Used if you need to fill some of the darker tones with a bit more light, or even to decrease them depending on which way you slide).
Whites (Used to drag all the tones nearer to white, with the greatest movement affecting the brighter tones, and the least effect on the darkest tones. Increasing can help you utilise more of the possible tonal (dynamic) range).
Blacks (Used to draw the darkest tones nearer to black, effecting the blackest the most and the brightest the least).
What do you think?

Pbeck1 wrote: With the underexposed images I think I now just adjust the exposure until the mid tones look like they are bright enough (then use the other sliders to control the darkest or lightest tones, i.e stretch out the ends).
That actually sounds pretty darn good to me.
Pbeck1 wrote: I only ever use the exposure slider to increase exposure, and this always seems to mean having to only increase contrast too, and never decreasing it.
Most cameras nowadays have built-in intelligent contrast reduction. But if you shoot raw (without Active D-Lighting enabled...), you may find reducing contrast can make the difference between a photo which can only have silouetted darks/black, vs. one that can have open shadows and un-compressed highlights, without resorting to such extreme values for -highlights and +shadows that the photo looks unnatural.
Also, consider replacing some of that +exposure +contrast with +whites -blacks: sometimes a worthwhile trade-off...
Sounds like you are doing pretty darn good to be such a beginner - it took me a long time to get the hang of PV2012.

The step-by-step guide for installing the Oracle Database and Oracle9iAS Portal

All,
I made a step-by-step guide for installing the Oracle 8.1.7 database and Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.1 (HTTP Only) install on a 'clean' Windows 2000 machine. The guide has a screen shot of every single step that I went through to get an installation of the database and Oracle9iAS Portal to work.
Because I left my email in the guide, everyone will be sending me email with questions about their particular install. [What I really wanted was some positive feedback email to show to my manager... hint hint.] As I do not want to troubleshoot everyone's install by email, I started this thread.
Let's start the step-by-step install guide discussion here.
As a start, here is what I did NOT want to do with the guide: I did not want to 'redo' the current Oracle9iAS installation guide. So I did not put any conditions in the guide. This is just what I had to do to take a clean Windows2000 machine (no Oracle software on it) and get it to work. If I keep on adding conditions, eventually I will end up with the installation document.
Also, in the next version (for the Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2) I will probably start over again from scratch as we are planning on addressing some of the issues with the install.
Another thing I plan to do is put the following direct links in:
Oracle9iAS Portal: Troubleshooting Guide
Oracle9iAS Portal: Diagnostics Tool
Oracle9iAS Portal: FAQ
Have a look at the above, as they will answer probably all of your questions... But if not post away!
Thanks,
Rich

We do have installed a Lotus Notes LDAP. Unfortunately, the documentation is company internal in German.
The steps, in general, where:
1) Create physical connection (obviously, you did that)
2) Deploy the XML Descriptor for the LDAP under "UM Configuration => Data Sources"
We used a derivate of the Sun One LDAP Profile.
3) Match the assignement LDAP Group --> EP Role --> EP User via EP user management
4. The user, in our case, is always created in the LDAP first (from a different LDA administration group) and is then visible in the Portal)
I know, this is very generic, but the "magic" is in the XML profile and I haven't seen any documentation about it yet.

Installation guide for OWB 9.2 name and address

Hi,
May you show me where I can find the OWB 9.2 installation document for name and address cleaning software.
In the installation guide of OWB 9.2, it ask to refer to the installation instruction of software vendor. I am going to use the default vendor (Trillium, the same as OWB9.0.4), but I don't know where to find the installation instruction.
Thanks in advance,
Qiguang Wu

When do you get this message? It seems to be referring to the N&A server, but I would need to have more details. When you installed OWB, the installation program asked for the port (defaulting to 4040) where the N&A server would run. Th N&A server should be started automatically when a mapping containing a N&A operator is run. Otherwise, it is possible to start and stop the N&A server by running the NASstart.bat and NASstop.bat unde the <OWB home>/owb/bin/win32 directory (or the same .sh files in the unix directory).

HDV guide for idiots....and me! Basic questions, I need your help!

Hello,
in my hand, I'm holding my first HDV tape. I've never edited HDV before, and before I continue and make all kinds of silly mistakes that make me loose even more sleep, I thought I'd post some questions on this forum:
But first things first:
I am working on a QuadG5, 4.5GB RAM, fibre-channel RAID, FCP 5.0.4, OS10.4.5, Blackmagic Multibridge Extreme, Sony HDV-Deck HVR-M10E, and I live in PAL land.
Thanks to Chris Jarvis' answer in a different post, I managed to set my deck properly, so that I can now capture HDV to FCP without a problem. So if you read this, Chris, thanks a bunch! However, I was wondering if it is possible to capture the footage to a different codec. So, here we go....
1) For example, could I downconvert it to DV and capture it via Firewire?
2) Could I capture HDV via component to my Multibridge as uncompressed 8bit material? I will have to mix this footage with footage captured from BetaSP etc., so wouldn't it make sense to convert it during capture already, thereby avoiding rendering later on?
3) Is it possible to monitor HDV on an SD monitor? When I use my Blackmagic video out and set it to 8bit/10bit, anything really, I only get an image when I pause play. Am I right to assume that I would need an HD monitor to properly monitor what I am doing?
4) I dimly remember people having trouble getting HDV stuff to DVD. Have others experienced that, too? Would I, once again, be better off capturing the whole shebang uncompressed from the start?
Hm, that's all for the time being. I hope some of you can give me some answers, I'd really appreciate it a lot. And if I annoyed you because I was asking the same questions that everybody tends to ask about HDV, please forgive me, I did look through several posts on this forum, but thought it'd be nice to gather all the answers here.
Yup.
Cheers and thanks,
Colin
PowerMac G5 2.5GHz DP and PowerMac G4 500MHz DP

Hi Jerry,
and thanks for your reply. Yes, in the end it will go out on a SD DVD. I did down-convert the footage to DV, since I got more DV stuff over the last couple of days. I'm glad about my decision, because I did a couple of test edits in HDV, and while it looks great, I must admit that it is a bit of a pain to work with. And not being able to monitor what I'm doing just doesn't do it for me.
Thanks once more and have a nice weekend,
Colin

Suggestions - Vertical Ruler or the ability to set horizontail guides for various view ports.

The suggestion link seems to be broken so I am posting here in hopes someone will see it. Edge Reflow would benefit greatly from the addition of a vertical ruler. Unless this is a view aready that I am somehow missing. Also it would be cool to be able to set a horizontal guides in the canvas grid (DOM). This would help in allowing the user set a guide for multiple viewing areas.
And the pie in the sky, Santa Claus Christmas list of all request would be the ability to "blend" break points. It would be cool to set a 2000px view and a bookend break-point at 1024px, work both compositions to the desired look and have a "blend tool" that scales all the elements to the desired look form 2000px to 1024px.

Hi Bobby, thanks for the suggestions!

Printed User Guide for Elements 6 for Mac

While the very useful downloaded pdf version from Adobe is in color, I discovered that the images in the printed guide from Adobe are in black and white, and are not of the same quality.

I have the printed Users Guide for Windows PS Elements 6 and it is also in black and white. To me the quality of the black and white images in the Windows book is OK: however the absence of color is very significant for some images. I have not seen the book for the Mac so I can't comment on image quality.
I can only suggest using a combination of the book plus the PDF file images displayed on screen.

Guide for installing and tuning a Vista 64 PC

Yes, I'm going to tax your patience again. This is a guide to setup Vista 64 for NLE work, well it actually applies to any kind of work, but NLE machines may profit more than an Office/MSN machine. One caveat: What I suggest here is a lean and mean machine that is mainly dedicated to NLE work.
First: It is always best to start with a clean install and a complete reformat of the disk. That will ensure that your registry is clean and leaves no leftovers from a previous install. Do not partition the drive, format the whole disk as one.
After installation has completed, first select Control Panel and Personalize. Select Change Desktop icons and ensure that at least Computer is selected. You can choose other icons as well if you want to. I have all 5 selected.
Next check Device Manager (right click This Computer, select Properties and then Device Manager) that you have no problems with drivers for any of your hardware. If there are any yellow exclamation symbols, solve these issues first by having Vista search for drivers and if it comes back with the message that no drivers could be found, get the latest 64 bit driver from the internet for this device.
Once Device Manager has no more problems, go to Windows update and install all critical updates. Nothing more at this moment. After installation and rebooting, again check Device Manager for problems. There should be none. Otherwise get on the internet again and reinstall the latest Vista 64 drivers. Next right chick This Computer and select Manage and go to Event Viewer. Open the Windows Logs and click on System. Scroll through the events and check out any errors or warnings you see. Search the Microsoft Technet for solutions. This is the link to the very informative Technet site to help you solve any issues you may have: Microsoft Technet
Next go to Control Panel, select Programs and Features and select turn Windows features on or off. You may not need anymore than these Windows Features and possibly less, for instance if you don't use a network printer. Also this may be a good moment to turn off User Account Control via Control Panel/Security Settings.
Next go to Vista Services and use the instructions and the table shown to modify the services, so only those are started that are needed in your situation. Anything not needed will only increase boot time and will consume resources, placing a higher overhead on the system than needed.
After rebooting, update all your drivers if you have not already done so. For instance, if you have an ATI card, download the latest drivers, but remember you can do without the Catalyst Control Center. Their drivers are typically denoted by y.m (year, month) so currently the latest is version 9.5
Now go to Control Panel, System and select Advanced system settings, select Visual Effects and select Adjust for best performance, apply and then select the Advanced tab, click on Performance settings, select the Advanced tab, Select Adjust for best performance of programs and then change the Virtual memory. Setup your pagefile with a custom size with equal numbers for Initial and Maximum size on another drive than your C disk and set the C drive to No paging file. If you have read my Storage rules for an editing rig guide, you know you need a fixed size of around 1 to 1.5 times installed memory, unless you have lots of RAM, then you can easily go lower.
Reboot and right click on This Computer, select Manage and select Disk Management. Select drive C, right click Properties and make sure that Index this drive for faster searching and Compress this drive to save disk space are both turned off. Click Disk Cleanup and clean what can be deleted. Repeat these steps for all of your drives. Next go to the Tools tab and select Defragment Now and defrag all drives. While you are at the Disk Defragment window, setup a daily defragging schedule, for instance during your lunch break. That will keep your disks optimized.
This will make sure that the space previously occupied by the pagefile on the C drive is reclaimed and that the new pagefile on another drive is not fragmented and at the very beginning of the drive in the fastest location (at least if the disk was newly formatted and not used).
If you haven't done so yet, completely turn off the Sidebar and do not have it autostart.
No application has been installed yet, so it is time to start with some essential utilities.
The first thing I do is turning off Windows Defender and install Symantec Endpoint Protection.
Next I install Ccleaner. A very handy freeware tool to keep your system and the registry clean and to remove or disable registry based auto startup programs.
The next one to install is the Sysinternals Suite and most notably Process Explorer, Process Monitor and Autoruns. Depending on your use, other utilities in the Suite may be nice to install as well. Installation is done by extracting the relevant files to the C:\Windows directory. Run Process Explorer once and in the Options menu select Replace Task Manager.
Other utilities I install (but of course you may have different favorites) are Beyond Compare, HWMonitor, SpeedFan, SnagIt and 1ClickPCFix
You are now ready to install your regular software. After installation, registration and activation of all your software use Ccleaner, Tools to check for unnecessary Startup entries in the registry. Disable or remove them. Next check your registry by scanning for issues and fix selected issues. Defragment all your disks again and make a restore point.
If you want to get rid of the ridiculously large shortcut arrow at this moment, go to this site: Remove Shortcut Arrow and follow Method 1.
Reboot and you are ready to go with a hopefully much faster and efficient Vista machine.
If you encounter difficulties and have problems that want to ask about on the forum, be prepared to include a screenshot from Process Explorer and either HWMonitor or Speedfan and a link to DXDIAG.txt
Thanks for your patience and I hope you have found some tips and tricks to improve performance.

Quoted from Harm's original post:
"First: It is always best to start with a clean install and a complete reformat of the disk. That will ensure that your registry is clean and leaves no leftovers from a previous install. Do not partition the drive, format the whole disk as one."
I guess I started off on the wrong foot. I just restored my computer to factory condition, which includes a partitioned "Factory Image" which enabled me to restore the machine. Should I be concerned with this? The system drive is actually a 2-drive RAID 0 from factory.
Could I have done this differently?
