FCP editing over Gigabit

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi all, 1. What kinds of compression would be workable in this case? 3. What else? Thanks much! noam Noam Birnbaum http://maccentricsolutions.com/ 510.332.3828 (cell) 877.luv.macs x89 (main) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

(i.e. files are stored on a NAS device such as OS X Server) I suspect that the answer depends on some variables. If that's the case, then: 2. Are there server requirements that would make the difference? (i.e. processor speed, DAS speed, OS X Server or Client, etc.) This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Frank - My thought was "the fonts are too unique - how can they stay in business". Think about watching 4 shows on 4 channels all 4 using the same livefont, would you think of it as a font or as an effect that one ripped off from the other at first? I'm all for entirely custom Livefonts. Especially if you hire me to make them, hehe. Seriously... Think about the fonts not as fonts but as a container for materials you repetitively need. Like logo fonts. I have more words on that here: http://www.frankjonen.com/typedesign/livefont/ Try it if you have a weekend, just a few glyphs, only hurts the first couple of times, then your brain has the proper bent. :) Cheers, Frank Well said! I agree with you completely. Somehow I just can't see the value in spending my time to be casting whatever might be my livefont idea into LiveFont-stone when I can pretty much do 'the livefont thing' with Apple's Motion - and font behaviors - and it'll come out differently - and probably more appropriate - every time. I do believe that LiveFonts ARE a huge leg-up for people who are not doing 'professional/network' projects - and don't have the expertise or time to roll their own. And, for the record, I think the LiveType/ LiveFonts combo is very well done, covers most all of the iconic bases and is certainly not without merit/value. This has been an interesting learning experience and I appreciate your taking the time to let me hear your thoughts. BTW - I went to a site called livetypecentral dot com and was really impressed with with their LiveType extensions - even bought their package#2 as it had so many obviously useful extensions usable in both LiveType AND Motion.

LiveType SDK

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Martin, Again, thanks for the good input. Lance Drake _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Pro-apps-dev mailing list (Pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/pro-apps-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a… Thank you very much for chiming in with some info on my question. I will do as you suggest. The question came up in a class (for Motion) where nobody knew much about LiveType except that they wanted to change existing items to have new behaviors and/or font choices. As I have no experience with LiveType, I looked around - but you have identified the fact that the clues are right inside LiveType itself. One of the reasons it appeared to be a more difficult chore is that there are companies on the web who sell, at substantial cost, prepackaged LiveType LiveFonts, objects, effects, etc. and my thought was, "If it's so simple - how could they expect to stay in business?" Anyway, we'll see how our adventures into creating our own materials goes. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

LiveType SDK or Development Particulars?

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi ProApps People, Thanks! Lance Drake _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Pro-apps-dev mailing list (Pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/pro-apps-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a… After poking around it appears there is no 'LiveType/LiveFonts' SDK, per se. Can anyone point me to where I might be able to learn what is required to create an new - or edit an existing - LiveFont? Is there a published LiveType API or object interface?
