• New GoPro camera need help with rate of 240 fps for idle

  I'm enjoying the possibilities offered by the new extreme sport GoPro camera and need help when it comes to using different rates in Premiere Pro. The pictures I brought in was shot at 240 fps and are indicated as such in the project Panel. However, when I preview the item in the Source Panel he rereads at normal speed and he has not slowed down. If it was shot at 240 fps so I think that Premiere Pro would play this back to 29.97 FPS and true would be slowed down.

  I am a beginner and you have to learn how to treat slow clips that I bring that are supposed to be slowed down.

  TIA,

  Ken

  Rod,

  You are not wrong, exactly, but I must respond to some of your statements. Premiere Pro is not what some think to do this. Craig and I had this conversation recently. When it Premiere Pro sees 240 fps on a sequence of 24 frames per second, it gives executives. About 90% of them.

  Keep in mind that some people turn it quickly because the action is fast, and they want that expected as fast they can project.

  Let's say you have a movie projector that shows 24 fps. No matter what film reel you load into this projector, you see the film at 24 frames per second.

  Premiere Pro will change the 240 IPS or 60 frames per second to 24 frames per second by dropping frames. It is not generally what people want if they have bothered to get away with it. Yes, it shows you 24 fps, but by dropping frames, is not playing frames one at a time.

  This means that if you shoot at 48 frames per second, you get slowed down when projected at 24 frames per second.

  Only if interpret you it or use an effect to slow it down. The effect is not as accurate as the interpreter.

  Think of it THAT WAY and find out what you have to do to make your premiere pro version are TREATING your images like it is projected at 24 frames per second.  In other words, no boxes are deleted. No boxes are added. NOTHING moves the way you SHOT IT.  Each image you shot will be used exactly as you he turned.

  Once again, that if interpret you it this way.

  This is NOT MATH or EFFECTS etc.

  Well, if interpret you it this is not mathematics, but if you slow down using a percentage, then it is math, and I do not think that it slows down the effect of which is the right way to do it.

  Don't download misled by all unwanted people enter with making it slower or faster time with interpolation.

  If you can not Surdemarrage or shoot at a higher rate, interpolation is all you have. But Ken did not have this problem, thank God.

  If you don't know exactly which continues with the sequences interpret things adobe has some help specify exactly files.

  There's not much to it. If you want to slow down 50% interpret it at 120 frames per second. If you want to slow down 90%, interpret it to 24 fps. Anything in between is up to you.

• Need help with the remapping of speed

  So here's my question. (check the photo below to see the chronology)

  I'm working on a script and I have a clip somewhere in the middle of this timeline. Now, I put two markers that close off the area of the clip I want to idle. And then I drag the rubberband now at 50%. This causes the clip obviously become longer.

  But the problem is that it doesn't push the clip that comes later, it submerges just sort of and I lose a part of the clip that I put in slow-mo.

  http://gyazo.com/0cce5ab07e22897f21a25e3308a9cbb5.PNG Here is a picture of my calendar.

  So my question is how can I make sure that the clip is pushed forward automatically?

  I know how to solve this problem with some dragging and pulling, but I want to be as effective as I can not get into bad habits.

  Thank you!

  If all you want to do is simply slow down or speed up a clip, use the settings speed/duration - it is probably the simplest way to induce a change in speed. It is a change of pace, you can also do it with the time remapping effect - which is what I think you did.

  The advantage of the time remapping effect, is that it allows variable speed changes within a single instance of an element. For example, suppose that you would like your item to start at 100% speed, slow down immediately at 25%, then immediately speed up to 200%. You can do this with speed/duration, simply by razoring the clip to the specific points where you want the speed change occur and then change the setting of the speed/duration to this instance of the item. With the time remapping effect, not only can you do this without having to cut the clip, but you can also create "ramps" from one speed to the other - where the aspect of variable speed. You can even freeze a clip or reverse the trend, all without having to edit the clip into small pieces. This can result in a much smoother effect, but it would still be not what you're after. Redefinition of the time has a bit of a learning curve, but it's really the most powerful of the two. Simply decide what is best for your application.

  An additional advantage and I may be wrong on this, but I think that using the remapping effect temporal results function of (theoretically) more high quality speed change effect thanks to an algorithm different or some-such. It uses different techniques to generate the interpolated images created in a change of speed, which should look smoother than if they were done with the command of speed/duration.

  Hope the helps a little.

• New to Mac - need help with iphoto

  Just bought a Mac in may, which has the OS X El Capitan. Try to use all the advantages of iPhoto (hope I have that correct name). I want to be able to organize and edit photos for most. Came from PC world and I'm certainly still appearing on my Mac. I've had an iPhone for years, so I understand a little of him, but still confused. Here are my questions:

  1. how to organize my photos in specific folders? I can see where they have been imported, but don't know how to get them into folders to organize based on the categories of events, customers, etc..

  2. If I want to be able to save them in iCloud, how can I check my settings to make sure that I have do this correctly? I would like to be able to access it on all my devices if possible (iPhone, Mac, iPad)

  3. If I remove them in one place, this means that they are deleted in the world? (May be a stupid question, but then again, I'm still learning.)

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much

  EGerdes

  As I showed you before, www.icloud said it's nothing for me to remove it. A person who is not honest. In addition, there is the fact that my address book has been consumed.

  El Capitan comes with pictures for Mac application. iPhoto was provided with older Macs.

  1. how to organize my photos in specific folders? I can see where they have been imported, but don't know how to get them into folders to organize based on the categories of events, customers, etc..

  Photos for Mac everything automatically organizes in Moments, the Collections, the years.

  • Times are including pictures taken at the same time in the same place.
  • Collections are grouping related moments
  • And the years view shows all photos taken in the same year.

  You can add the selection of photo albums and creating an album from them.

  And you can group pricing albums by moving them to the folder. Folders can be nested.

• Need help with timer

  So I want to create a timer that displays an image after 6 seconds. Here is an example of my code:

  var timer1:Timer;

              timer1 = new Timer(1000);

  but the right icon wouldn't show. Any help? Or are there better ways to do this?

  I don't know if it's a typo or not, but the function should be:

  handleTimerTick(e:TimerEvent):void
  

  aside from that, nothing seems to be wrong. looks like your icon code?

• New to VMWare, need help with my setup

  Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a specific installation to a laboratory at the House and I'm stuck. at this point I don't know if this is even possible. I have a virtual running Windows server 2012 and a Win7 machine empty. What I need to do, is be able to pxe boot the empty machine since the 2012 server which is running WDS. The service is running, and check all options out_ it is configured as a domain controller and operating dhcp options 60 and 67 correctly configured. Any network settings I try the vm vacuum does not pick up the file of pxe boot from the server... is this even possible or should I try a different product at this point?

  It will probably prove to something simple because I'm new on this but no amount of Googling has done for me so far. Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

  Hello

  Welcome to community work station!

  Practices of related laboratory PXE is supported by VMware Workstation. Here is an example for windows: VMWORSTATION 12 PRO, need driver of storage for MDT

  Some tips for the network configuration of your lab environment:

  1. use an independent VMnet for PXE service, DO NOT use bridged VMnet. And you would NOT use better VMnet NAT (aka VMnet8)

  How to:

  a. click on the menu "Edit"-> "Virtual Network Editor... workstation "to open the virtual network Editor.

  b. click on the "Edit settings" button, accept the UAC warning as appropriate.

  c. click on the button "add a network...". ».

  d. Select a new VMnet (I'll use VMnet2 for example), click on the OK"" button.

  e. click 'Apply' then 'OK' in the virtual network Editor dialog box.

  f. open the settings of your virtual machine VM

  g. Select the tab "Hardware"-> "Network card", this "connect to power on" is checked

  h. Select "Custom" and the VMnet you added

  i. click "OK" in the dialog box settings of VM

  j. Repeat step f through i for all your virtual machines

  2 disable DHCP this VMnet of Virtual Network Editor(Technical speaking, it's not necessary, just in case)

  How to:

  a. click on the menu "Edit"-> "Virtual Network Editor... workstation "to open the virtual network Editor.

  b. click on the "Edit settings" button, accept the UAC warning as appropriate.

  c. Select the VMnet you use for the PXE service

  d. uncheck 'Use local DHCP service to distribute IP addresses to virtual machines' option

  e. click 'Apply' then 'OK' in the virtual network Editor dialog box.

  It will be useful.

  Kind regards

• New on Adobe need help with an if then statement

  Hi, I really like what ADOBE Pro 9 can do with forms and neat and everything is included.

  I'm having a problem trying to understand an if then statement for one of my forms and how to make it executable.

  Here is what I have

  I.          Cigna Medical                                           

              (10)       single                                     $  44.00

              (11)       Employee & Child (ren)              $  82.00

  An employee will be choice an optiopn 10-14 and but that number of choices. After I am about to fill with this number.

  For instnace, if an employee takes option 11, choice: 11 and amount: $ 44.00

  I put the options in a menu drop-down. The drop down menu is titled CignaMedical and Amount_1 title for amount: $_ and I made a text box.  I put this code: if (this.getField("CignaMedical").value == '10') {}
  Amount_1 = 44.00} tab calculation of properties for the Amount_1 of text box on the custom calculation script tab.

  Any help is greatly appreciate

  Yes, you can use an if-else if construction. Something like that (I got the first part because we reuse it):

  CignaMedical = this.getField("CignaMedical").value;

  If (CignaMedical == '10') {}

  44.00 = Event.Value;

  } Else if (CignaMedical == "11") {}

  Event.Value = 82.00;

  } Else if (CignaMedical == '12') {}

  99.00 = Event.Value;

  }

  etc.

• New on illustrator need help with gum

  I'm used to using gimp or photoshop, but recently received the new Illustrator. I am doing a logo 30 to 0 in a loop on the bottom of the 3. I can't seem to find a way to do it, I can't understand how the eraser do not work either. Whenever I have let go of the mouse color appears upwards... Any help?

  You mean like this?

  

  The easiest way is to position your characters as you wish, then use Pathfinder divide.

  Then you coulour parts that you want.

  See you in this example, the value 0 is divided into three sections. You can use Pathfinder unite on them if you wish.

  It goes same for the little background of the 3.

  I never use the gum even if I've been using Illie since it was invented. He always finds a useless tool.

• Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

  Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

  My hardware:

  I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

  The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

  I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

  My Situation:

  I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

  Help with the data store and network:

  I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

  I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

  Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

  I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

  Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

  You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

  Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

  RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

  You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

  Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

  UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.
