iPhone 4.0

iPhone 4.0 is coming soon. Apple just sent invitations to the media for an event on April 8th. That is just 3 days away. Hopefully, Multitasking will be finally here and who knows, we might see some info on the upcoming phones like the front facing camera everybody wants (at least me). I would prefer the camera on the phone than in the iPad.
I would also like to see Calendar info on the lock screen. It is a perfect place to put the calendar since Unlocking->Find the right page->Calendar takes more time if you just want to see it.
We will have to wait and see what new and “I can’t live without” new features will Apple unveil on the 8th.

Quickime X issue?

admin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 01:15:44 +0000

We are having a little coffution with QuickTime and hope that it is only something that QuickTime does and not a Final Cut problem. We ussually work with 19 bit uncompressed material and never had any problems exporting uncompressed QuickTime files. But recently I found out that after exporting an uncompressed proyect the info on the file indicates a 640 x 480 file instead of the 720 x 486 correct dimentions.

Our forkflow is at folows:
If the material comes from a DigiBeta, we transfer it at a dub house. If not we captured ourself. All material is captured at 10 bit uncompressed.
We create an uncomprresed 10 bit sequence and work on the proyect normaly. Since the file and the timeline have the same settings, there is no need ti render.

Once the project is finished we export with current settings. This creates a new uncompresed QuickTime file. This is the file that has the wrong dimentions while playing with QuickTime X.

It seems that is only a Quicktime issue because if you bring it back to Final Cut Pro it will show withe right dimentions.

Apple iPad

Ok. iPad it out. Now what?

I have been listening to expert in the gadgets field. Some of then can’t wait to get one, others will wait for Version 02. There are many good point on both sides. For the ones that will wait, they mentioned the lack of camera or the lack of multiprocessing. Some hate the close environment of the device, basically you can’t install any application that you like like in a computer. But on the side of the people who can’t wait they say that it will change everything. That is an amazing device and for a great price.

My thought are mixed. And here is why. I would love for it to have a camera to video chat with my family that lives abroad. I would love the multi tasking, so I can work and listen to Pandora at the same time. But do I consider those improvements necessary: I don’t. In regards to the close environment, I DON’T CARE. I love the fact that I know someone is looking at the applications for performance and for any malignant code that can be inside of them. Every time I install something on my computer I wonder if they are stealing info for my computer. I don’t know. How can I check if the software is JUST doing what I was told it would do?

The 3G option is an option that is also a matter of consideration. Do I need it? Only if it works internationally. I have my iPhone to get my emails from anywhere I go. But for the iPad, where am I going to take it that does not have a wi-fi access? I keep thinking and can’t find a place. Maybe I am lucky that everywhere I go I can log to a wi-fi access.

I have a trip in April and I really can’t wait to get one. No heavy or large laptop to carry. Just a thing screen where I can read, watch a movie, work a little if I want to and play games in a nice and large screen.

That is it. I am getting one.
