jacknjchn — Wed, 22 May 2013 08:34:11 GMT

Summary: Here comes with some practical tips for importing Sony PMW-F55 CineAlta 4K Digital Camera XAVC Footages to iMovie for smooth editing.

The Sony PMW-F55 a next-generation CineAlta 4K digital cinema camera, featurs high-data-rate on-board recording of XAVC 4K and 180 fps XAVC 2K/HD with a free planned upgrade. With its revolutionary electronic global shutter and outstanding professional features, it has won lots of fans and owners.

About the XAVC format, how much do you know? Well, the XAVC format is not yet widely adopted in the marketplace, so when you are planning to conduct post production to the PMW-F55 (or PMW-F5) XAVC footages with your editors, you may encounter with the problem like "the file cannot be imported/opened". So, how to import & edit Sony XAVC video with iMovie. Here I�d like to share an easy solution with you for handling Sony PMW-F55 XAVC in iMovie without any trouble.

If you want to load Sony PMW-F55 XAVC to iMovie (iMovie�11, iMovie�09, etc), first you need to convert XAVC to AIC .mov file format for iMovie. To do so, please download Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac. After that, follow the guide below to transcode Sony PMW-F55 XAVC to Final Cut Pro/iMovie step by step:

Step 1: Add XAVC files

After download the XAVC footages from the F55, double click to open Mac Sony XAVC Converter, and then drag and drop the footages on the main interface of the program with ease. Multitasking is allowed.

Step 2: Set output format

The Mac XAVC Converter offers various optimized presets for users. To convert PMW-F55 XAVC to iMovie, directly select iMovie and Final Cut Express > Apple InterMediate Codec(*.mov) as output format on the drop-down menu.

Tip: Adjust the video and audio parameters, including the Bitrate of Video&Audio, Video Size, Sample Rate, Frame Rate, Audio Channels, etc., by clicking the Settings button on the main interface for getting the best quality.

Step 3: Start the conversion

Finally, press the Convert button, this yet professional Sony XAVC to iMovie Converter will start the conversion from Sony PMW-F55 XAVC to iMovie friendly AIC MOV file format immediately.

Due to the size of the XAVC footages and the performance of your Mac, the conversion may last for a while.After the conversion, start iMovie and click File > Import > Movies to transfer the Sony XAVC movies to iMovie(9/10/11) to edit smoothly.

RE: Error trying to restore to compressed database

You can also manage the HyperBac Control Service directly from Windows (for example, in Windows XP, go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > HyperBac Control Service).

If you stop the HyperBac Control Service while it is processing backup data for a SQL Server operation, the SQL Server operation will fail.

Maintenance Window

Luis Martin — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:49:51 GMT

This is a suggestion.

Actually we can set maintenance window i.e from 11pm, 5 hours.
May be is more useful working time:
From Monday to Friday, 6am to 10pm and nothing on weekends or Monday to Friday, 6am to 10pm and Saturday from 6am to 1pm and nothing on Sunday.

Just a thought.

RE: Smart Assembly Failed

jf3000 — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:58:45 GMT

There is no crash, it says it builds the assembly yet it doesnt build the assembly.

The only option I have set in SA in the error reporting. Its only just started happening. It used to work on the previous apps, I just figured there was a bug somewhere.

RE: Found new bug when using "Add object existence check" option

JohnnyT — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:48:58 GMT

Here is a simple scenario for you to reproduce this error. Hope this helps.

Code:

-- Create identical TestA and TestB databases
create database TestA ;
go
use TestA ;
go
create default [dbo].[empty_number] AS 0 ;
go
create table dbo.Table1
(
column1 char(10) not null,
column2 int not null
) ;

execute sp_bindefault N'dbo.empty_number', N'dbo.Table1.column2' ;
go

create database TestB ;
go
use TestB ;
go
create default [dbo].[empty_number] AS 0 ;
go
create table dbo.Table1
(
column1 char(10) not null,
column2 int not null
) ;

execute sp_bindefault N'dbo.empty_number', N'dbo.Table1.column2' ;
go

-- Now drop the "column2" in Table1 in the TestA database.
use TestA ;
go
execute sp_unbindefault N'dbo.Table1.column2' ;
go
alter table dbo.Table1 drop column column2 ;
go

-- Now use SQL Compare 10 to generate a script to make TestB match TestA. Be sure to
-- check the "Add object existence checks" option before generating the script.
-- Run the generated script on the TestB database and see the error.

Ah, so sorry about this inconvenience. Remote profiling is on our feature request list though and I've also shared your reply with the team--thanks very much for the feedback!

RE: ANTS Crashing ASPNET Dev IIS Server on Profiler Launch

dom.smith — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:35:40 GMT

Hi Josh,

Sorry for the delay in replying while I was on vacation last week.

If I understand your comments correctly, your problem is with ANTS Memory Profiler 7.4, not ANTS Performance Profiler. I'm afraid the Memory Profiler doesn't currently support Silverlight 5, and there's also a known bug where (as you say), the add-in in Visual Studio 2012 launches the wrong version of the Web Development server.

Both of these issues were fixed in the recently-released ANTS Performance Profiler 8.0 and we'll endevor to get these fixes into the earliest betas of ANTS Memory Profiler 8.0 once we open that beta program shortly.

RE: SQL Compare SDK removing users from database

chris.brown — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:08:22 GMT

The solution to this issue is to loop through the objects in the database, ensure you set all the users .Selected = false then the SQL compare will completely ignore them.
