• Best "workflow" for Sony A7sii and GH4 - Res Pro or DNxHD?

  Hi all

  I'm filming a documentary of 90 minutes on a Sony A7sii like Cam 1 and a Panasonic GH4 camera 2. 23.97fps to 3840 x 2160. We need to have 4 k options for future use. We will very likely use a certain amount of purchased both action sequences. I am currently working on what happens to be the best workflow with final export to the spirit. I need to export the final movie in Res Pro Apple or DNxHD - and I'm trying to figure who is going to be the best from start to finish.

  I'll be transcoding footage in function in order to make the workflow on the timeline as fluid and less tax on the processor as possible but also ensure final best made possible. I found that editing in the formats of native files (4 k) of each camera - even when the parameter/scaling to the size of the image - is very heavy on the processor and he staggers scouring or reading. So should I choose HQ or DNxHD pro.

  Also - on this basis, should what sequence settings I use? Creating a sequence of the clip with a Res Pro first clip gives me preset film Arri. Seems the timeline without effort on playback and scrub.

  Thanks in advance!

  ProRes 'was' standard in the Apple world, so became very common. DNxHD/R/HQ options are really become as well or better for most uses, it is just newer. On my PC, DNxHD cut almost as quickly as Cineform and a little faster than ProRes. They are sorta close... and is the guarantee of a your mileage MAY vary!

  So do a few quick tests. A few hours transcoding in two or three choices, then to the same projects, applying the same effects (while taking note of reading), then export on and schedule exports will give you an answer for you.

• Best workflow for updating of interactive forms initially created in InDesign

  Abdoulaye

  Using InDesign CS6 and Acrobat X (10.1.4)

  I created an interactive form 2 page with InDesign exported as an interactive PDF Acrobat applied fields scroll, names twisted the color of the text and fonts, etc.

  But now, I'm not sure of the best way for the form to have some updates that actually change the layout a bit, I think I have to work from the original InDesign file once again, but how to avoid having to recreate all the fields I added in Acrobat.

  Just trying to create an efficient workflow, start from scratch does not seem the best option.

  I made the spaces that contain the fields in the form of white rounded corners and shadows on a color background in order to consolidate the brand image, however all this in InDesign and I now "you wonder if it's a good idea.

  So now demand additional two drop-down lists and a medium additional field I have to adjust the design layout, I don't think that can be achieved in Acrobat.

  You can copy text from one PDf to another fields and retain all properties? Suppose so I set the background and copy the fields in place.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Replacing the old pages with the new, it is how this situation is most commonly treated. It preserves not only the fields, but also other interactive elements that you have such as bookmarks and links. Any code at the level of the document, you add and document actions remain as well.

  Fields can be copied a page at a time, but before 11 Acrobat, are not glued in place, so you may need to do some repositioning. This generally results in the smallest file size, but can be tedious.

  Regarding everything in InDesign, CS6 can be implemented in the fields, but there are a number of limitations and bugs that reduces the usefulness of this feature. For example, to set the font for a field or add JavaScript actions.

• What is the best workflow for longer projects with music?

  Hello. I'm just getting into after effects and WOW, I soak every tutorial I can. That being said, I wonder what's the best practice for working with longer projects. Let me give you a scenario.

  So, I have my HAND COMP with piece of music in 3 minutes I sync up to my animations.

  I create ANIMATION COMP 1 and drop it in the HAND COMP.

  So let's say that I want to adjust something in ANIMATION COMP 1.

  I switch back to ANIMATION COMP 1 window to make my adjustments.

  Problem: Bed of music is in comp 1 so I can't listen to music and make adjustments accordingly.

  The obvious solution is to simply create everything on 1 composition. But is there a way to make the MAIN COMP room if you change a secondary layout?

  Thank you

  The only sensible thing to do for a few minutes longer project to edit in Premiere Pro and make the moves you must treat as individual comps in After Effects. Comps are for the creation of pictures and short clips. Try to put 80 or 100 cups in a single cimp is not only difficult to treat, but finding the flow with the music of changes are almost impossible.

  If you want to get a real specific on all your production must begin before a single frame is shot. Shot a bunch of stuff and try to build something later are a very very bad idea unless there is no other choice. I did a lot of musical projects him more than 45 years in the business and even if you can't draw, just block storyboards will save you a lot of time.

  I hope this helps. If you remember that make you plans in an EA and you had it first and you mix sound in addition, you will be in good shape.

• Best workflow for the customer who wants to make changes of long text in Word

  Maybe this isn't a question of InDesign itself, but I thought you'd be able to help me. I work with a client who is happier typing in Microsoft Word (Windows). I get his text as a Word document, I create the pages with InDesign, send them to PDF and then makes a change of text in the Word document and sent me the new file.

  What is the best way for me to catch all the changes and bring them into InDesign properly?

  Hello

  -You can select a preference (which is disabled by default) that placed treaty text as link-, so that when the link is updated (IE your client makes changes to the word document), the link can be updated in Indesign.

  

  However, if you change the text at the same time, your changes will be overwritten by the new incoming word document.

  You can also watch it in a product called WordsFlow by Em Software...

• What is the best "workflow" for sharpening Ultimate w PSE 8?

  I shoot a lot of flowers near upward and also birds. Both have lots of details, feathers or Stamen, so I rely heavily on the sharpening. With birds, sometimes they are flying or remote or both, which makes it difficult to get sharp photos. Recently, I learned a lot about sharpening and now I am suffering, "I know, more I know that I don't know." In addition, some of my information is based on rumor and I appreciate all the advice. What would you say if I discuss my work flow and ask a few questions here and there.

  I shoot RAW with a Canon 7 d and I almost always reduce my photos to nnnn x 1080 for that conversation, lets assume that I always do this downsizing. I heard that reduced pictures should never be sharpened up to the once they are reduced. Is this true? Should I set all sliders sharpening in ACR to zero? Should I also keep the low clarity slider in ACR or is it more your contrast medium and less sharpening? Is there another way to improve the clarity in PSE, ACR not?

  When I finished with the cab and open in the elements, the first thing I do is crop and resize using Image, resize, bicubic sharper. Then I correct the imperfections. Then, I select on the subject (s) and adjust the curves of colors and then light sharpening, which seems to give me the best results that Enhance-setting sharpness. (After two years of use of items I found this bright sharpness and it's so good. I wish I would have notice this Brundage in the earlier book. I did ask me what I'm missing.) After light sharpening should I try high-pass sharpening more or any other type of sharpening? Is there empirical rules on what kind of sharpening works best in which application? For example, I heard another rumor that sharpening of the strong or the shadows just increases noise. Is there a good way to handle these situations, as select out them, or use a special blending mode?

  After I'm done with the subject, I usually reverse in the background and noise and/or blurr and Desaturate to puncture the subject.

  Is Photoshop complete necessary to get the best sharpening tools or sharpening similar and other aspects are more powerful? I use so little of 8 items that I guess and hope that Photoshop or Lightroom would be overkill at this stage.

  Thank you very much for this review! If you can think of anyway I could improve, I would really appreciate any comments.

• "Workflow" for Slow Motion DSLR

  Hi, I've been experimenting with the creation of idle smoothly in a calendar of 1080/25 and questioned on the best workflow. (I used a Canon 70 d, stipulating that 50 frames per second at 720)

  So: Chronology 1080/25 Pro Res FCP7 (majority of the 1080/25 source footage)

  I want to add a short section of idle and for that I shot in 720/50 - but of course it is made at 25 frames per second when added to the timeline and playback is stuttering when 50% of the speed value.

  So I sent the clip (at 50%) to 4 Motion and applied optical flow - this provided a smoother playback

  (I tried to optical flow on a clip of 1080/25 to 50% but reading stuttered slightly)

  I just wanted to confirm if it is the best workflow for idling smoothly.  Also when I tried to apply the optic flow on a second Motion 4 already 'optic flow"selected clip, but when I clicked on that nothing happened - I had to close out Motion and start over with the clip under a new name.

• Flash website using the conversion (Greensock/Starling/Away3D libraries) to HTML5. Is there an efficient workflow for this kind of mass conversion?

  Hello!

  I read that demoralize him articles everywhere on the great navigators pushing Flash to the side and supporting the HTML5 for awhile now. I have a personal site that I keep and put a decent amount of work using the design. At the heart of the site is driven by external classfiles AS3 using Greensock libraries. Also, I went 3D with 2D content content using the Framework Starling and Away3D libraries. I am researching the possibilities of creating the same types of drawings in HTML5, if possible. Greensock already fully supports HTML5 with its new libraries GSAP. Starling and Away3D I'm not so sure...

  I would love to continue to grow in the same method, using FlashCC, but this is already limited to only desktop browsers. That's fine with me, if it remains bearable on workstations, but at this point I don't really know how well supported Flash will remain same in desktop browsers. I must admit that my real job keeps me pretty busy that my search time is quite limited, so I might be way off the coast.

  Is there any known and efficient workflow for the transition from a site that only uses external AS3 classFiles and 2D or 3D to the HTML5 canvas content? Is this even worth it if I'm comfortable with only to have the support of desktop browser? It seems to me that, at least in the office environment, Flash will retain a strong foot.

  I use the package full creative suite + FlashDevelop as my toolkit and have been reading upward on the discussion of FlashCC targeting HTML5 canvas. It's really interesting to me, but at the same time it seems to work with SWF movies which contain all their ActionScript. It is not the structure that I followed at all, and it wouldn't really work-able at the port just the classFiles external back into SWF movies since not all the .as files has a SWF that is directly related. In other words, I wonder if it is still possible for me to consider a transitional workflow to HTML5 canvas? It seems at some point I might have to bite the bullet and refactor everything from the beginning, which I must admit is not an appetizing idea.

  I just want to start a discussion with Adobe and other creators out there using entirely external .as files and juggle several libraries in their Flash projects for the future. I want to see what workflows are out there to conquer this kind of problem and if supported in the desktop browser environment is even really a problem.

  -Cheers and sorry for the wall of text

  I think you should read more and worry less. Microsoft include Flash Player in IE and Edge. Google include Flash player in Chrome. Firefox Announces recently committed to the development of a Flash plugin, even if they cease to support other plugins. I don't think that Apple will stop supporting plugins at all.

  Thus, all current users of your will see your site for at least the next few years.

• best technique for video playback through tri - LCD projectors

  I recently created a project of 15 minutes in CS4.  I burned to a DVD it and it plays smoothly on a computer and DVD player.  I had a room full of people and a laptop to play the DVD on the LCD projector and the video was stuttery - fast motion, motion to correct and vice versa.  It wasn't horrible, but I noticed it.  What is the best workflow for out highest qualtiy and better reading for projector?  I started with downsampled and HDV film he MPEG-DVD.  I customized the max 8 preset and target to 5.  Flash look and work better?  I don't know what brand and model, the projector was because it was mounted to the ceiling.  I noticed this problem once before on another projector, even laptop.

• Best workflow (PAL) to convert interlaced to progressive DV HDV?

  Question - what is the best workflow (PAL) to convert interlaced to progressive DV HDV?

  Software: Pr, en and Ae - CS4 all.

  My camera: (Sony Z1) shoots HDV 1080i.

  When capture and editing, I keep all the HDV and intertwined.

  Premiere Pro:

  1. Capture HDV - mpeg 1440 x 1080 (1.3333)
  2. Sequence - HD 1440 x 1080 (1.3333) anamorphic 1080 (1.333) Upper Field First - (HDV Preset 1080i25)

  Once editing is complete, I have dynamically link sequences in Encore.

  Question - I dynamically link to yet or export the sequence of Pro?

  If you're not a fan of dynamically link sequences and think export Premiere Pro sequences is the way forward, please advise best export settings.  I guess that in the export (from Pr) is to convert from interlaced to progressive HDV DV takes place?

  At the present time, I dynamically link sequences in Encore.  This means handles even the gradual conversion of DV.

  Question - what are the best settings for transcoding (yet) to transcode HDV 1080i25 to DV widescreen progressive?

  I tried for many workflows, but for now, I was not 100% satisfied with any of them.

  I find this a challenge to take HDV 1080i and produce a beautiful DVD IE minimum artifacts and interlace jitter.

  I used to downconvert to DV in camera during the capture process, but I find that I get much better results by editing in HDV and downconverting during post.  That's what my post is really all about finding the best workflow for this.

  I'd be very keen to learn how others are shooting and editing in HDV to then produce best-high quality DVD.

• Calendar beat for clip - best workflow practices?

  Hi all

  I am currently working on a short video that must be programmed to music. Of course, in some ways, a tool like Final Cut or Prime Minister would be more suited to the task in a certain way, but for reasons of the technical specification of the production, it must be done in After Effects.

  

  So I try to nail a good workflow to time the various elements of the project to the beat of the music. I've done so far is, I developed the waveform of the original tape so I can get some raw visuals on where obvious changes occur. See the screenshot to the left. I placed a marker on the right framework where arrives the drum call, where I don't want to do something cool with the video.

  It is obviously of limited use, because even if the rhythm coincides with one of the peaks of the waveform, it does not look at who it would be. Also, it is not possible to determine the exact framework on which the beat happens using this method, because each peak is several frames long, and includes several elements of the audio.

  The next thing I tried was so simply to listen to the track with RAM Preview and pressing on the * key to place markers on the soundtrack to the beat. Some of you are perhaps better to the rhythm games that I could hope to be, but I find that while this allows asking a large number of markers quickly, it is very inaccurate.

  Which is very good, expect - I couldn't get all the markers on the right framework for the first time, but I can go back and drag some images, right? But the problem here is with Visual and audio scrubbing with the playhead. When you RAM Preview, the playhead does not refresh on all images - it updates every seven or eight images or so. Which means that if I look at the calendar to see if my markers are in the right place, I can't say when the playhead passes over it.

  So instead, I hold down the Ctrl key and rub. This kinda works, but the audio is quite rough and discontinuous. As such it is difficult to get an idea of each framework as part of the song and even if I do hear a heartbeat, it is difficult to recognize as such (this technique works best in Final Cut somehow, for some reason, he manages to rub while sounding less discontinuous). So what I do is I have a picture, I think that could possibly be the rhythm, and I hold Ctrl and left click on the playback head, which makes a loop a short (five images?) segment of the audio. Then I do the same thing for a few images before and after, just to ensure that I targeted the right frame. Now, finally, I have the marker in the right place for a single beat.

  There must be a better way.

  I wonder if anyone has faced this problem found a workflow more efficient? I think that it might be a sheet of I could use a software that allows me to go through the audio and place markers better - and then I can somehow export marker data in After Effects? Or maybe another workflow I didn't think.

  Your thoughts?

  Cut with precision to the beats music is usually a simple matter of math. Most of the music, especially the music with a strong beat, turns to a certain number of beats per minute. It is generally easy to understand. There are moments where you have a tempo change or a Fermata, ACC., or retirement or a change, they are usually for a short period and easy enough to fix. Understand the tempo and you about 90%.

  Another tool that I use quite often is Sound Keys of Trapcode. It is much more versatile that use bed convert audio to keyframes.

  If I have a fairly long segment that has a bunch of beats fast beats I will sometimes create a solid small, add the hue and saturation to the solid game to colorize, add this expression to colorize hue - index * 140, cut the length of the layer to the length of time, then duplicate the layer for bat as much as I want to cover , the layers in sequence and then use this sequence of layer as a guide. The configuration looks like this:

  

  You can also use an expression loopOut on rotation to rotate a small layer SAY 45 degrees on each beat. By example, if you had a heartbeat every 20 frames together 3 hold keyframes, one on the first image of 0º, the frame of 20 to 40 ° then put a 40 chord to 0º and simply add the expression loopOut("cycle") of rotation. Now the small cube could give way to a different angle on each beat.

  These tips will help you with some quick cuts just the pace but let me give you some tips on cutting to music I've learned 42 years ago (Yes, I'm an old man) when I was learning to edit music to my first job in the film. My mentor had been in business since 1952, had worked as an editor on a ton of feature films and a bunch of advertisements. He told me that if you simulate with precision the rate, which was pretty easy to find and mark with a pencil on stock mag, wax your cuts will look out of sync. The problem with this precision, is that the eye and the ear are not precisely synchronized. The time advance or delay depends on the shooting, where shooting takes your eye, where the Cup move your eye and creates the atmosphere of the music. The best technique is to listen to music and place markers that you type on the beat. In the old days, I did it by tapping a pencil of wax on the mag stock as he crossed the Steenbeck or Moviola, today I do by tapping the * key, then I cut and adjust the cutoff point for shooting dictate when the music and the rhythm line up with emotion. You will get a better result, and your work will go much quicker that fussing around trying to harmonize the beat with each cut. I changed my cuts as much as 4 or 5 images forward or back to fight for the sequence feel.

  I use two techniques that I listed above for cutting short segments of very tight cuts and help to save time, but his definition of the resolution of your car model and the Zoom factor of your computer at 25%, the ram preview for "today", and simply cut the pace by usability will give you a much more pleasant and emotional response to your sequence as precisely and mathematically exactly matching the beat. The last piece of advice I can give you on the music of Cup is to make the first cut, then walk away at least a half hour, then come back and look what you did. You'll instantly see where you have to make adjustments and it will take less than half of the time to cut your sequence.

• Is the best tool for the creation of a review with Notes/comments-Dreamweaver user site? CMS?

  Hi all

  I am really keen to develop a site of online game and have a few questions of CMS/Wordpress/Dreamweaver, I hope that you all can help me with, I thank you in advance for your patience as I am new on the development of the site.

  I think creating a review site which will involve write me about 100 customers of online game and then getting users to download their comments/suggestions, etc. Each of the reviews would be updated monthly with his stats, performance and other details. Each review contains a review of the text, the review video and various images and screenshots. Integrate user generated content will be an important factor.

  I'm trying to confuse me with all the prep work round to ensure that I have the right tools and technology, that I need to succeed. A lot of people told me I should use Wordpress because of the nature of my site, or at least a combination of Wordpress and Dreamweaver - don't know how it works exactly. I don't want to be too dependent on Wordpress just because I want to be sure my site can be customized and cultivate and select advanted more value for visitors to my site. .. .i would like to have a members area only at some point in the near future.

  Please see below for questions running in my head:

  1. do I need a separate CMS tool?... ... who may be best to consider the nature of my site?

  2. should I use Wordpress instead?... .or a combination of Wordpress and Dreamweaver? -Why should I use a combination of the two?

  3 SEO is a factor important - does make a difference?

  4. my comments will need to be updated every month, so I will try to maximize the use of models, etc. I need to create a dynamic site in Dreamweaver or a CMS that will manage?

  5. what options are best to avoid as much as hand-coding

  Thank for taking you the time to read this,... .any advice/guideance would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Still a bit on the comment by John, WordPress sites actually pretty well on make Google providing your site contains a keyword rich, relevant and fresh content.  WP itself will be neither help nor hinder your ranking.  It's up to you to create good content, forcing the humans will be interested.

  As for the future, I think that you are on solid ground.  WP has been around for a long time and continues to dominate the market of CMS open source.  There are 58 million sites on WordPress.com alone.  This includes not everybody who self-host WP on their own areas.  Give it whirl and see where it will lead.

• Best practices for the application of sharpness in your workflow

  Recently I tried to get a better understanding of some of the best practices for sharpening in a workflow. I guess that I didn't know, but there are several places to sharpen. Who are the best? They are additive?

  My typical workflow involves capture an image with a professional DSLR in RAW or JPEG or import into Lightroom and export to a JPEG file for the screen or printing of two lab and local. 

  There are three places in this workflow to add sharpening. In the DSLR manually into Lightroom and when exporting a JPEG file or print directly from Lightroom

  It is my understanding that sharpening is added to RAW images even if you add sharpening in your DSLR. However sharpening will be added to the JPEG from the camera. 

  Back to my question, it is preferable to manually the sharpness in the SLR in Lightroom or wait until you export or output of your printer or final JPEG file. And additive effects? If I add sharpening to the three places I am probably more sharpening?

  You have to treat them differently both formats. Data BULLIES never have any sharpening applied by the camera, only JPEG files. Sharpening is often considered to be a workflow where there are three steps (see here for a seminal paper on this idea).

  I. a step sharpening of capture which compensates for the loss of sharp in detail due to the Bayer matrix and the filter anti-repliement and sometimes the lens or diffraction.

  II. A creative sharpening step where some details in the image are 'highlighted' sharpness (do you eyelashes on a model's face), and

  III. output sharpening, where you fix the loss of sharpness due to the scale/resampling for the properties of the average output (as blur because of an impression how process works or blurry because of the way that a screen LCD sets out its pixels).

  These three are implemented in Lightroom. I. and II. are essential, and basically must always be performed. II. until your creative minds. I. is the sharpening that see you in the Panel to develop. You need zoom at 1:1 and optimize the settings. The default settings are OK but quite conservative. Usually you can increase the value of the mask a little so that you're not sharpen noise and play with the other three sliders. Jeff Schewe gives an overview of a strategy simple to find the optimal settings here. It is for the cab, but the principle remains the same. Most of the photos will benefit from optimization a bit. Don't go overboard, but just OK for smoothness to 1:1.

  Stage II as I have said, is not essential, but it can be done using the local adjustment brush, or you can go to Photoshop for this. Stage III, however, is very essential. This is done in the export, the print panel Panel or the web. You can't really get a glimpse of these things (especially the sharpening printing-oriented) and it will take a little experimentation to see what you like.

  For jpeg, sharpening is done already in the camera. You could add a small extra capture sharpening in some cases, or simply lowering the sharpening in camera and then have more control in the post, but generally, it is best to leave it alone. Stage II and III, however, are still necessary.
