Re: [videoblogging] FCE question...
No. That's why it's E and not P. E just handles DV. Not many differences between Express and Pro for the casual user - but that's one of them. Since you don't need the full power of the latest Final Cut Studio, you could try to get hold of a second hand copy of an earlier version of FCP. Also, I understand that (shockingly) some people actually use illegal pirate copies of FCP4 or 3 or 2 all of which do most of the things that FCE does and more.

Overall its similar to how I would be using Premier Elements on the PC, however there is one big problem with FCE and I'm hoping someone here can offer a solution. Note: I also got the One To One training thing from the apple store, and have at one such session asked about this. The guy - although he did try admirably to find a way to do it - ended up saying well I guess you can only do that in Final Cut Pro (FCP). Here's the thing ... In FCE, you have these easy setup options. They setup the project with settings such as: 720x480 NTSC. In FCP, you can apparently create your own custom setup profiles. In FCE ... I can't find a way to do that. My digital still camera saves to 320x240 (square pixel). I'd like to find a way to setup the FCE project/workspace for these settings as needed. Isn't there a way to tell FCE, that I'm working on a 320x240 project?! I hope I dont have to spend $1300 just for the ability to set the size of my videos ... that's just crazy talk ... surely apple/mac doesn't claim the creative higher ground if this is the case.

Re: [videoblogging] FCE question...
This is a PITA, but with an added step in the workflow (the last step, usually), you can use a format converter to adjust the size. There are many of these for Windoze, but I'm not sure what can do this on a Mac. Doesn't handbrake or hub do this? No, a quick look at hb shows it'll do a lot but from DVD only. Take a look here: http://www.pure-mac.com/video.html Quite a list, you may find what you need. hope this helps On 1 Jul 2007, at 22:21, David Meade wrote: Isn't there a way to tell FCE, that I'm working on a 320x240 project?!

Re: [videoblogging] FCE question...
Well I can compress it down to whatever I want. The final steps and final output arent a problem ... I just want to set the frame size of the project before I start so that I dont have to resize/distort the source material just to then export it down at its original size. I just can't believe that setting the frame size of a project is a pro feature. I mean ... that's SERIOUSLY messed up. A $300 editor should be able to set the frame size for Pete's sake. rant sigh ... Premier elements is 1/3rd the cost it can set frame size. I also played with LiveType some this weekend ... and while it is a very cool/powerful application the workflow to actually use it is MUCH more painful than adding a key-frame-able title in Premier elements. LiveType may be able to do more, but if you want just a title you can animate/fade/etc ... its just way more difficult than it should be IMHO. Anyway ... don't believe the hype that creative things are SO much easier and more intuitive on a Mac. :P I'm gonna have to consider now a crazy-expensive editor ... just so that I can set a frame size. Pppht.

Re: [videoblogging] FCE question...
Don't doubt it, dude. These bastards are all about stripping out the simple things so that you want to upgrade (instead of *having* to upgrade). You probably heard me bitching about this on Twitter, but another example of this is the Mail program that replaces Outlook Express in Vista - it won't remember more than the last 13 email addresses in the To: box, so that standard feature of typing the first couple of letters of an address and having it autocomplete is GONE - all in the name of persuading people to upgrade to Outlook. Call that a Pro feature...? I don't think so, but what are you gonna do? Apple are as mercenary as MS now, if not more. What you could do is import your videos into iMovie at iSight or MPEG4 setting - which will blow them up to 640x480 but at least not destroy them. Then output to 320x240 - and use a DV camera for FCE... As for simple titles in FCE, there is a simple titles feature. In the viewer, click the menu at bottom right - you'll see all sorts of title and slug options that you can configure in the Settings and Motion tabs. Also, there are 3rd party plugins for text from people like Boris - I don't know if they work with FCE though. I've never used LiveType - it's just too much.

Hey David, I've found that Final Cut Pro isn't very good at editing mpeg4 video anyway. What I do is use a setting in Compressor to transcode and resize my files to conform to DV.

Music however, is a thing not in the world, and the present deception of its ownability places limits on our consciousness. My motivation here is not to sell iPods.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: FCE question...
A fast way to transcode MP4 to DV is to use VisualHub. It has a preset for DV and you just drag and drop. It is a really nice; we used it when we were transcoding all the various formats for Pixelodeon. You can drop almost any format and batch convert them to almost any other format. -Lan www.LanBui.com On Jul 2, 2007, at 9:48 AM, Michael Verdi wrote: Hey David, I've found that Final Cut Pro isn't very good at editing mpeg4 video anyway.

I've used this great feedback process with my theater and I think it'll work well for talking about videoblogs too. So, I set up another flash meeting for Tuesday, July 3 at 23:00 GMT This is a moderated process where the responsibility of the audience is to not bring their own agenda and to have a desire for the artist to do her/his best work. For this first meeting well be looking at two videos: Stop, Look And Listen by David Howell http://www.davidhowellstudios.com/2007/05/30/stop-look-and-listen/ and Little Iraq by Cheryl Colan http://www.hummingcrow.com/2007/04/03/little-iraq/ There is limited space in the flash meeting so email [EMAIL PROTECTED] for an invitation.

Interesting. So, all musicians or bands covering a tune must get permission first or pay fees? Does that include if they cover a song in an encore or something too? Adam's music might have to become my bastard red-haired step children then.

A friend of mine wrote an essay on music a couple years ago called The History of What My Dog Can't Hear: http://www.geartekcorporation.com/texts/essay2.html The essay is about changing the way we perceive music, and accepting it as something that is not ownable: The ownership or authorship of anything is a deception, surely. But I take no issue with the ownership of objects in the world, like a broom or a drum for example. Music however, is a thing not in the world, and the present deception of its ownability places limits on our consciousness. My motivation here is not to sell iPods. If this near biblical manifesto-mill can be accused of having any agenda at all, it is merely to assist an already rising consciousness. Neither are these paragraphs commandments or a bugle call to what we need to realize or do. We didn't need to be able to hear tone in music or need to be aware of its color - it's just the way music is happening to us, rising on a path like the moon. Some astronomers can predict the path of the moon, and surely artists are those astronomers. I understand those who are skeptical or scoff at this as pompous and irrelevant. After all, when you look at the moon, the moon looks still. He feels the same way about music as I do about my videos, and at the end he says, EXTRA CREDIT: Re-read this entire essay but replace the word music with the word images. Re-reading it I realized that I unconsciously lifted metaphor directly from him. Blatant plagiarism! I've already informed him and a check is in the mail.

Re: [videoblogging] Low volume on Handheld microphone
would it be a line vs mic input issue? i know i've had that issue before someone hooking in a mic to that jack, but the jack is line which needs a more powerful signal... or am i totally wrong? something like that On 7/2/07, Jonathan Bloom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's hooked into my mac using the mic input and I've tried turning up the input volume and the gain.

The microphone is a TAKY UDM-606L Ah, I learned the hard way, if this is a MacBook the input is line level, a mic won't drive it. A PC headset won't work on the MacBook for example. I don't know if a regular Mac (what model) has a mic input. So if that's the case, you'll need a preamp or an amplified mic. hth /r
RE: [videoblogging] Low volume on Handheld microphone
It sounds like an impedance mismatch. Which is basically what the line vs. mic input issue is all about. The fact that you used an adapter also makes me think that. Questions: * Is the impedance marked on the microphone? It should be marked as ohms (Ω). * What are you plugging it in to? Camcorder? * Does the manual for your input device tell you what the mic impedance is? Older cameras had a high impedance input. This is in the range of 600 - 1500 Ω. Newer cameras have a microphone impedance of 100 - 600 Ω. If you have a mismatch you need to get a transformer to use the microphone.

RE: [videoblogging] Low volume on Handheld microphone
Replying to my own post, I just realized that you wrote that you were plugging into a mac mic input. Most likely a low impedance input. I looked up the TAKY UDM606L on google and found a listing on Craig’s List for one. That listing read, “600 Impedance”. If that means 600 Ohms (a standard for microphones) that’s your problem. You want a High Z to Low Z transformer so that you can use it with a Low Z input. Double check you mac manual for info on the input impedance. By the way, Z in a symbol for impedance. Hope this helps.
