That’s good to know. You don’t really need a full HD picture to do sound, I suppose.

Over a year old blog post I found in a Google search, but I had to leave my 2 cents to let you know that ProTools works with formats aside from .MOV and .MP4.

I use .DV all the time. In fact, in the PT Preferences, it has a specific checkbox for higher-res quality for those using DV25 codecs (.DV). In fact, it’s best to use an INTER-frame codec rather than an INTRA-frame codec, as it’s less CPU-intensive.

Just so ya know…

Well, you can try just killing the process with “kill -9″, if it works after that, you can use apt-get to uninstall the service you don’t want.

Comment on Quick Update to my Celtx mods to 2.9.1 by admin

Hi Andreas,

I’m sorry to hear that!

If you just want text notes use the Novel template — it’s the same thing, but with some enhancements.

Adding items to the New Item function is way beyond me. No idea where to even start.

I don’t know if this will help, but with regard to character, etc. – if you add a catalog of that type, you can then add records inside that catalog without having to pick a type of record. Hope that makes sense. Create a Character catalog, and then open the catalog up and click the Add button there, and it’ll automatically create a Character record.

Not as easy I know.

The other way, and the most common for me to do, is I add those records by marking up the script.

On the sidebar, I click the 3rd tab which gives you the script markup items. Then I highlight some text, select the type of records I want (e.g. wardrobe, prop, etc.)

Wish I could be of more help! Have you tried posting in the forums? Steve Pick has been very helpful to me.

Hi, I did not find any way to contact you, so I use the comments.

I am HATING the Celtx text-editor and now, that they took out the simple text file item, it got even worse (I do a lot of notes). I would like to change the editor and add the text item back. Also I dislike the vanishing of the single cards (actor,location,etc.), which now only appear as part of the tables. I wat to change this, too. Do you know what code creates it? Do you have any entry point? Also into the “Add new item” function?

I think about creating my changes as a free AddOn, so there is less trouble with the main files, when updating.

I would be happy to hear from you. Even if you can not help me out, just so I know, you came around my post. Thanks a lot!

Andreas

How do you disable one or the other. I am totally foreign to Linux, just installed 11.10 and whenever I have to do a download over 100MB it disconnects my wireless internet. I’m wondering if this would fix this problem.

Comment on Run P2 Viewer in Windows 7 64-bit by admin

Well, I suppose worst case you could load P2 viewer in the Windows XP mode under Windows Virtual PC. That should work… just make sure you share the USB ports with the virtual machine!

Thank you very much, Val! Its working perfectly!
The next step to achieve the perfect Celtx its get some relative mindmap (like http://www.novelist.ch/joomla/index.php/en/storybook-memoria) to play with relationships between elements on a script… If you heard something about that for Celtx or some way to workflow them.
