Hi,
I’m looking for a few people that would be interested in testing out a kit I’ve developed. The kit is intended as an introduction to eTextiles. It’s an eye-catching design that kids, parents and educators are excited about.

All testers will receive the kit for free (of course!) in exchange for completing it and giving me some feedback on the experience.

I’d prefer kit testers to have experience making other kits. The requirements are that you live in the U.S, have the tools needed (scissors, tape, needle-nose pliers) and an internet connection to access the tutorial.

Please email the following info if you’re interested:

- tell me a bit about yourself
- list the kits you’ve completed
- do you have basic electronics knowledge?
- do you have any sewing experience?

I’m really looking forward to hearing from you. I believe this will be a fun experience for us!

"For viewing XAVC content, look no further than Vegas Pro 12 from Sony, the world's first HD, 2K and 4K native editor.

http://www.hdmediaconverter.com/how-to-edit-sony-xavc-in-final-cut-pro-x/
XAVC is a brand new recording format keeping footages in up to 4K resolution, which is not supported by most of the video editors. So you may ask "Can I edit XAVC in Final Cut Pro/iMovie?" Well, let me tell you the truth, Apple just released FCP 10.0.8, which added support for XAVC HD & 4K. If you want to import XAVC to FCP, make sure to update your Final Cut Pro to the latest version, and then visit Sony's site to download their latest import plugin "PDZK-LT2 vs1.10." Once the plugin is installed, you can then launch FCP X and click the import button to load the footages, and then edit XAVC in FCP X.
However, as to the older version Final Cut Pro, such as the FCP 7, and the iMovie (iMovie'11, iMovie'09, etc.), there's no official support for XAVC right now. Besides, though FCP X has the XAVC import plugins, it cannot edit the XAVC footages as smoothly as editing the ProRes 422 MOV videos because XAVC is not the default supported format of FCP. Furthermore, a quick test has showed that FCP X does not optimize the XAVC media.
Therefore, if you want to smoothly edit XAVC in Final Cut Pro without changing the original video quality (NOT the video resolution), or import XAVC to iMovie, the best solution is to transcode XAVC to FCP/iMovie ProRes 422 MOV video format. Which converter can convert XAVC to FCP/XAVC to iMovie? XAVC Video Converter for Mac is your best choice.

How to Convert Sony XAVC to FCP/iMovie ProRes 422 MOVStep 1: Import XAVC footages to the XAVC to FCP/iMovie Converter
Run the Mac XAVC Converter, and then click the "Add Files" icon or directly drag and drop to load the XAVC footages to the converter. You can add multiple XAVC files to the program at a time.
Tips: to download the XAVC footages to your computer, you may need the Sony SxS card reader /Echo Thunderbolt Card reader, or a computer equipped with an Express Card 34 slot.

The word “workflow” can be pretty broad, but here I am looking at importing Sony PMW-F5 footage into the non-linear editing systems. The PMW-F5 can record in MPEG-2 HD422, MPEG4 SStP, XAVC 2K/HD and 16-bit RAW 2K/4K formats internally. This article is focused on importing the Sony PMW-F5 XAVC. The PMW-F5 workflows are similar to that of the F3 and XDCAM EX cameras, but with some significant changes. Below, I outline how to import Sony PMW-F5 XAVC to iMovie and Final Cut Pro (FCP X, FCP 7).
http://www.hdmediaconverter.com/hd-video-converter-for-mac/
Sony have already built the import plugins for their XAVC cameras with FCPX, but for the older version of FCP (such as FCP 7) and all iMovie versions (iMovie’11, iMovie’09, etc.), they cannot import XAVC footages. Moreover, since XAVC is not the default supported format of FCP, though FCP X has the XAVC import plugins, it cannot edit Sony PMW-F5 XAVC in FCP as smoothly as editing the ProRes 422 MOV videos. Furthermore, a quick test has showed that FCP X does not optimize the XAVC media as the final resolution will be lowered from 4096 x 2160/3840 x 2160 to 1920 x 1080 after the import.

"what is XAVC files and how can I make it work with the editing program like FCP?"

Maybe you have come across similar questions when Googling a solution for importing Sony XAVC videos to FCP. Congratulations – what you're reading is a quick and easy guide for solving the problem.

http://pc-mac-compatibility-issues.blogspot.com/2013/04/Best-strategy-to-import-PMW-f55-footage-in-FCP.html

In the first place, let's get familiar with the XAVC format. Sony's new XAVC recording format is at the heart of its latest industry-leading products. XAVC provides a dedicated 4K format that will encourage the adoption of 4K beyond feature films, in genres such as TV Dramas, Entertainment shows, Documentaries and Commercials.

As well as the widespread applications for the professional HDTV market, Sony has developed the XAVC format to enable the expansion of 4K content into the consumer market. XAVC is designed to provide a future proof codec that can meet customers' rapidly developing requirements for 4K content production and HD120P high frame rate shooting.

Sony's XAVC format employs MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 level 5.2, the highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec based on industry standards. XAVC enables a very wide range of operational possibilities for content production, notably: from Proxy to 4K pixel resolutions, intra frame and long GOP schemes, and 1080 50P/60P infrastructure capability.

Can we import XAVC videos to FCP 6/7 for editing?

However, when you enjoying hi-def videos shot by Sony F5/F55 and some other XAVC camcorders, it will be a pain to make these XAVC files compatible with FCP 6 or 7, because Sony released a XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in for FCPX, but it does not support FCP 6/7. Hence you have to convert them to prores codec—the most compatible video codec for FCP series.

To accomplish your goal, you can try Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac, which is a great Sony XAVC Converter for Mac. It can not only convert Sony XAVC videos to Apple ProRes codec, but also guarantee smooth editing. Compatible OS: Mac OS X like Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion.

Canon's EOS 6D is the company's first 'affordable' full frame DSLR, equipped with a newly designed 20.2 Megapixel sensor, while can offer users exceptionally high image quality and detail while providing compatibility and convenience through its design and features. The 6D can record 1920 x 1080 HD video with the standard H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec at 25 and 30 fps or 1280 x 720 HD video at 60 and 50 fps.

Though this new 6D comes with outstanding video recording and shooting ability, there is a problem that H.264 MOV footages are not compatible with Avid or Adobe Premiere for editing. This is because the HD MOV clips are encoded in H.264 codec, a most advanced codec that compresses video in highest compression ratio, but not so acceptable for editing software such as Avid, Sony Vegas, and Adobe Premiere. Generally speaking, editing software prefer AVI, WMV, MPG to H.264 encoded MOV, MTS, TOD footage. The following passage guides you how to convert Canon EOS 6D MOV footages to MOV/WMV video for editing.

XAVC is a brand new camera recording format that can wrap the footages in 4K resolution (4096 * 2160 and 3840 * 2160) at up to 60 fps.

Therefore, if you want to import the XAVC recordings to Windows applications and run them smoothly without any limitation, you need to convert XAVC to AVI for AVI is the most commonly used format for Windows OS.

HOOOOOOOOT NEWS: To celebrate this 2013 Mother's Day with you, Brorsoft put into effect a special offer as the 2013 Mother's Day Special Gifts for your Mom. And being known as the most useful and powerful DVD to Android tablet converter, the Brorsoft DVD Ripper is on sale with 20% discount.

Nowadays many folks like backing up their DVD discs into ISO image files for managing their DVD movie in an easy way. ISO images are stored in an uncompressed format. You can enjoy the ISO movies on PC with a media player such as the VLC player. However, if you intend to put and play the ISO files on an Android device like Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, you need to do some work in advance. Cause ISO files is too huge and incompatible with Galaxy Note 8.0, we need to compress and switch the ISO image files to something that the Android tablet can recognize and play.

As far as I know, to make DVD ISO image files work on Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, the best solution is to convert the ISO images to Galaxy Note 8.0 favorable video formats such as h.264 mp4. Just get some help from the third-party software. There are many programs out there that allow us to make copies of our DVDs but few can handle the DVD iso image files. It seems we are not alone and Brorsoft provides us a DVD Ripper application which can convert DVD iso to perfectly fit for Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet.

To be honest, the program is easy to use for editing and conversion and makes great quality copies of my DVDs and DVD ISO/IFO files. I am very pleased with the application, it exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with it. The audio/video synchronization is very good, the size of the subtitles too. For Mac users, this DVD Ripper for Mac is the alternative choice to help you rip DVD ISO to Galaxy Note 8.0 on Mac OS X(Mountain Lion included). Just download it and follow the guide below to transfer DVD ISO movies to Galaxy Note 8.0 for smoothly playback.

Simple Guide: How to Convert DVD ISO to Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 video format

The below guide uses DVD Ripper Windows screenshots. The way ripping DVD movies to Galaxy Note 8.0 on Mac is almost the same. Just make sure you get the right version.

Step 1. Install and launch the DVD iso to Galaxy Note 8.0 Converter on your computer. To load DVD ISO image, simply click “IFO/ISO” button and navigate to the DVD ISO image.

Step 2. Select output video format for Samsung Note 8.0. Here I recommend you "Format" >> "Samsung" >> "Samsung Galaxy Note(*.mp4)" as the best format for Galaxy Note 8.0 with the proper video size and bitrate.


Tips:
1. Quality Set:
You may also click "Settings" to set the Video/Audio Parameters like Size (resolution), bitrate, frame rate, etc to for Galaxy Note 8.0 according your own will. Remember the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss. Generally, 720p with 1500~2500kbps is just all right.

2. Select preferred subtitles and audio language

Step 3. After all the above settings, simply click "Convert" button to start ripping DVD ISO to Galaxy Note 8.0 MP4 video. Just wait for the converting process to be done.

After the conversion, just transfer the converted video files to your Galaxy Note 8.0. In this way, you can watch DVD movies on Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Android tablet anywhere especially on your long travel.

If you have no idea about Galaxy Note 8.0 file transfer, you can check out the post How to Transferring Movies to Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to get the tips and tricks.

Watching DVD movies on DVD players at home has never been a problem for us. The question is, what if you’d like to enjoy your favorite DVD movies when on the road? Bringing several discs along tend to be inconvenient, not to mention they jump on the most crucial scenes and are prone to scratches. Now that Android-based devices have rocked into the mainstream, there’s an easy way taking DVD movies alongside, i.e., ripping DVD and putting movies onto your Android tablet or phone. The process is easier than you may think, here I would throw this quick tutorial up on how to transfer DVD movies to Android.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1's beautiful 1,280x800-pixel screen is great for watching movies. The Honeycomb tablet supports WMV9, WMV7, WMV8, H.264, MPEG4, Xvid, DivX, H.263, and VP8 video codecs. If your movie isn't already in one of the supported formats or it's still on a DVD or on a Blu-ray, you'll need to encode/re-encode it first. Along with some help from Brorsoft Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate (or its equivalent Mac verison - iMedia Converter Mac), you can transfer these movies to Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for playback. Below is a simple tutorial for you to better convert and copy Blu-ray/DVD movies and various formats of 1080p/720p MKV, AVI, VOB, TiVo, MPG, etc. videos on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. Just follow it.

Now just get the right version and follow the steps below to sync and transfer Blu-ray/DVD and 1080p videos to Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for smoothly playback in just a few mouse clicks!

The quick start guide below uses the movie converter Windows(Windows 8 included) screenshots. The way to encoding videos to Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 on Mac is almost the same. Just make sure you get the right version according to your computer operating system.

So it's understandable that PowerDirector refuse to load .mxf shootings from a XF105, XF300, XF100, XF305 camcorder or C300 camera.

Just got Panasonic’s new P2HD camcorder AG-HPX600 for days. I like the HD cam very much with its 4:2:2 AVC-Intra recording. It is belong to new series of memory cards called microP2 card ( Awesome! ), which have an SD card form factor to further cost-efficiencies in media pricing. But I was disappointed I couldn’t directly get PX600 AVC-Intra MXF to my Sony Vegas for further editing. So, I wanted to know is there a way to make HPX600 footages compatible for Vegas Pro?



At first, I tried to download and use several P2 MXF plug-ins to help me bring the file to Vegas, but I failed. Fortunately, I did find an easy optional method to import HPX600 files to Vegas. That is to convert Panasonic P2 MXF to MPEG-2, a highly compatible format for Sony Vegas with a third-party software..

I’ve got a professional MXF to Sony Vegas Converter on my computer, which can transcode the unsupported AVC-Intra MXF file to an ideal editing format e.g. MPEG-2 or WMV for Vegas Pro keeping the original video quality. If you are facing the situation likewise, follow the steps below I share with you.

How to convert HPX600 AVC-Intra to MPEG-2 format for Vegas



Step 1. Install and run the excellent P2 AVC-Intra to Vegas Pro Converter , and click “Add files” to import files from HPX600 P2 card > CONTENTS> VIDEO.

Tip: The program not only can help you transocde Panasonic MXF files, also can re-format Canon/Sony MXF files.

Step 2. Choose the MPEG-2(*.mpg) from “Format> Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas” menu as the best format.

Tip: If necessary, you can click “settings” to freely set them profile settings, including the video size, video frame rate, audio channel, etc.



Step 3. Click “Convert” button to start transcoding Panasonic HPX600 MXF video to MPEG-2.

As soon as the conversion is over, you can perfectly import the converted files to Vegas Pro 9/10/11/12 for editing without any error. Just freely editing and enjoy your movies.
