Recommendations for the Office to edit video etc

I think it's time to spend my Dell Dimension 9200 now grumpy with Vista and buy something new.

I'm looking for a versatile machine for usual applications, more a few video editing. I do NOT use my pc for gaming.

For editing, I currently use Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere. Videos I produce are usually around 3-5 minutes in length, which is more entertaining shorts as long the Hollywood blockbusters.

I have a working monitor but if a brilliant new is included then so much the better.

Budget: £500-1000 £ tho would prefer closer to the £500. However, I'd rather spend a little more for performance and durability.

Any recommendations?

Black Friday is a great time to be looking for some good deals on systems. While there may be several nit pickiness to go with it (I'm absolutely nit picky when it comes to choosing a system), I would recommend something along this & 699 line: http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-8700/pd?oc=fddngx312&model_id=xps-8700

Essentially, I would recommend 8 GB of RAM and a processor i7 for video editing. You can get away with an i5 and 4 GB of RAM, but apparently, you want something to last you a certain time (considering your continued use of the 9200). So, the linked system will be a good e ' balance and one that will work for a while. There is also a version with a monitor included for 899, but systems are essentially the same.

I also highly recommend that you buy the extra warranty and accidental coverage. If you, like me, need a system to last for a while, it will exceed the year warranty or suffer from liquid damage and warranty and accidental coverage is awesome. I saved thousands of dollars because of plan coverage warranty and accidental emissions of Dell. I have children, and my system takes a beating. My system would survive better to be hit by a train at the hands of two boys. Ive replaced the entire system. each party and some parts more than once and apart from the cost of the warranty plan, it costs me nothing.

I hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any other questions and be sure to check the other black deals Friday. The system that I recommend is a high-end, but there are other options available.

  • Aftermath - change slides duration to account for the different lengths of video/image

    HI - as you can tell I'm pretty new to Ae - I use programs like hearing and first every day from work but I've never used after effects. Asked me to create a showreel by using After Effects. Like most "newbies" I headed over to a stock site and downloaded the following model https://videohive.net/item/clean-media-slideshow/15003701

    It all seems simple drag and drop the media in each slide / edit text etc. BUT I noticed that /(comps?) slides appear to be of a fixed length - I was wondering if there is a way to change the "timing" of each of these slides to account for the different lengths of video/still (while keeping synchronized animations)? Any help would be much appreciated - here is a link to what I've done so far Craig Jackson - stuff more After Effects - put... | Facebook

    I know there are tutorials on here and on sites like Lynda - and I started to go through them - but any help would be amazing.

    Kind regards

    Craig.

    I see that it's much better now, thank you.

    Here's the problem with the models. To make them easy to customize, they are awful to customize. I know it's not supposed...

    They have complicated - sometimes more than necessary - which makes them easy to drop your own photos/videos. However, this means that if you REALLY want to change something, it's going to be quite complicated. I only buy templates if I want exactly what the model has. Otherwise, it's actually faster for me to build myself something. I have over a decade of experience with After Effects, so trust me on this, don't mess with the model. Without much more experience, he'll just be frustrating.

    What you can do, is switching to the video full screen. You need not stay in the template all the time. Put your video and images in the template, but there where you want it to be longer, put the beginning and ending in the model. Then, after you have made out of AE, go in first and just cut (or use a transition from light leak any) full screen video for executives, want to be longer. TADA!

  • Format recommended for the PDF author metadata

    Hello

    I work as a librarian and I am responsible for the Department of the thesis of my University Library. These are filed and archived as PDF files. Some of them are available online, some are not.

    I was told to systematically fill metadata "Title" and "Author" for each PDF deposited in our electronic despository.

    My question has to do with metadata "author." Is there a structure recommended for her?

    As it is I can think of a lot of different alternatives:

    First name last name

    LastName Firstname

    LastName, Firstname

    etc.

    As a librarian, my instinct was to choose the name, first name format (used in the author/creator DC element, for example), but I realized that whenever I have saved the PDF file and then displays the part of metadata (via the shortcut Alt D), it would show "Lastname, Firstname" rather than the full name (for some unknown reason, adds Adobe Pro "" ""). After some tests, I came to the conclusion that the coma was the source of the problem. So I changed my mind and adopted the format Firstname Lastname , but I'm not sure that this is the best option.

    So if I ask you a few questions, here they are:

    -Which format do you recommend for the metadata of the author (if there is one)?

    -Why a coma generates ""?

    Is there a specific separator character that I use when I need to fill two different names (if a given thesis has been written by two different people)? (this issue also applies to metadata "Key words")

    Thanks for your patience and for your time,

    See you soon,.

    JHM

    There are no rules in itself, but the XMP specification defines DC: creator as a ProperName field, which means it must be written in the way he would say - "John Smith" rather than "Smith, John". Finally, it is until you do with data - if your external search system to priority of family name, do it.

    The fields on the tab of "description" of PDF Properties dialog comes from this Document information block in the standard PDF file, which is independent of the XMP metadata. Although these fields of DI are often people will look on, in a formal catalog system the XMP object has priority (indeed, in the ISO PDF/A standard that you are supposed to ignore completely DI fields).

    Document Information fields are stored in the PDF file as strings rather than the XML entities. Commas would confuse the parser in thinking it was to see a table, so they will trigger Acrobat in order to encapsulate the entries between quotes. He will assume a comma and a single space are part of an individual term, if you want to create a list using the semicolons or several spaces between words. Senicolons conquer spaces:

    • Doe, John; Lord Lucan; Barney, the Purple dinosaur will be kept at the "Doe, John"; Lord Lucan; 'Barney, the Purple dinosaur'
    • Is no one, no one will be kept to the ', that is, not a "; person because the spacing is a term separator.

    The important thing to remember is that the entrance of DC: creator XMP is updated whenever you change the author field of DI, but it does NOT follow the same rules. ProperNames XMP are OK with spaces but they don't like commas or semicolons - so the first example above appears in the tree view of XMP as

    1. DOE
    2. John
    3. Lord Lucan
    4. Barney
    5. Dinosaur
    6. the
    7. Purple

    This reinforces the idea of using names as spoken. Lord Lucan has survived his trip to XMP, John Doe became two people. Barney is beyond hope. in many ways.

    IPad disabled with thousands of pictures of children that are not backed up with iTunes or icloud. Recommendations for the recovery of photos please?

    Sorry, but if your device is disabled and you have no backup, then you won't be able to save the data on the device:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204306

    You should back up your device regularly to iCloud or import your photos to an application on your computer. Otherwise, you will be risking losing those photos. If your device has been lost, stolen, or crushed by your car, you'd be in the same situation. Really sorry for your photos.

  • Recommendation for the configuration of the disk

    Recommendation for the configuration of the disk:

    A wide range of RAID 5 consisting of 8 x 146 GB drives?

    Two arrayys of RAID 5 with 4 x 146 GB drives in each table one would be used for the data store, and the other would be usd to images of backup to it.  The idea here is that when we do backup via the script GhettoVCB/o would be mainly on the secondary RADIUS and not the main data store.   In my opinion?  I think I have the only RAID 5 Bay with all the readers of 8 x 146 GB for a data store single should surffice.   I don't think the performance problems will be that detrimental.

    As written before, depends on the type of e/s.

    With more than R and W low, RAID5 (on multiple disks) could be very good.

    But don't forget to also use a global hot spare, degraded performance a RAID5 mode could be dramatic.

    And don't forget that your controller has a battery backup.

  • Recommendations for the power supply of the inverter of supply for an iMac 27 "SSD (1 TB) 2015?

    I heard that SSDS are vulnerable to data loss / corruption in irregular situation (surges, outages, etc.) and that a UPS is strongly recommended. No one knows what might work best for an iMac 27 "2015 (late) with 1 TB SSD? Amazon best sellers are quite disparate. No. 1 is perhaps not strong enough. N ° 4 seems not to have the OS X compatible software. Being new to this kind of material I don't know what to look for and what would be better for my machine.  It seems consume 240 W max.

    In this regard: I read that store a SSD in hot weather can ruin the drive (or some dr. I considered turning off my computer when I'm away for the summer (in a non air-conditioned office which heat sometimes). I better let him run (sleeping)?

    Thanks in advance.

    A UPS is recommended as soon as you have an irregular situation. It does not matter if you have a hard drive, SSD, or something else.

    240W is the max for the whole iMac.

    Not sure where you hear your horror stories about SSD.

  • Recommendations for the resolution of the screen on the W510

    Hi people,

    Recommendations on the resolution of the screen on the W510 - HD or HD +?

    And why?

    TIA,

    SD

    It really depends on your use.  I went with the HD + (1600 x 900), because the graphics card is powerful enough run games of high quality on this resolution and it provides decent realestate to make programming and another office on productivity.  I tried a HD (1280 x 800) screen at work and it is very small and useless for real work, but if you are hard to see or don't use it to calculate the light, he would serve well.  The FHD (1900 x 1080) display provides a lot of realestate, if you can read the tiny text and do a lot of business development type and graphic design works, more multitouch features that can be intreguing there, but I think the screen is a little too big to play video games.  That's my thought.

  • 32 bit or 64its windows 7 is recommended for the mac pro?

    I have a mac pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 considering to install Windows 7 but do not have 32-bit or 64-bit is recommended? Can someone advise. Thank you

    Hello DreamerChin,

    Yes this (bootcamp) allows full access to the processor and other Windows components.  Since you have 8 GB of ram, using the option of bootcamp, it is preferable to obtain the 64-bit edition. If you choose this option, after you bought the disc, start in OSX and spotlight (top-right) of type "Boot camp assistant" within this wizard will help you in setting up the amount of space for Mac OSX and how much space you want for Windows 7. After completion, insert the Windows 7 disc and click ok in the wizard. Once Windows is installed, put in the Mac OSX disk provided with the computer to install Bootcamp for Windows and this will also contain the drivers in order to ensure that everything plays well with Windows / computer.

    Ask more questions where we can clarify.

    Thank you
