Thank you so much Mark for this great and detailed advice! Hugely appreciated! You’ve helped transform a painful chore into a much less painful one 🙂 Once it’s done I’ll close this thread and send a pic. Thanks again to you, Thomas and Alan.

Thanks so much Alan, Thomas and Mark for the great suggestions. Mark, on one of your points, I’m not as familiar with split wire tubing. Is the link below what you’re talking about?

Would this be an alternative to the screw eyes and S-hook approach Thomas suggested, or just a complement to it?

Very much appreciated guys.

Thank you very much Thomas, this looks like exactly the type of products we need. Much appreciated. Just one more question on this for you or anyone else, and of course I’d be interested if anyone else has other recommendations on any of this too. In addition to the cords I also need to secure several little boxes to the underside of the desk too, an example of which I included in an attached photo. Any quick recommendations for securing something like this? It seems like the hook and screw approach would work for this too. But I just need something to wrap/tie the box in, and I was wondering if anything better than just standard cable ties (or maybe a couple of them) might work.

Thanks very much Alan, and I’ll check out those google links. The workstation is fixed in place, and once they’re in place I won’t need to access the cables very often at all, extremely infrequently I’d say. My apologies, but what does “service loop” mean? I’m attempting to share two images of the workstation and cabling. Just let me know what you or others think, thanks again, or if you can’t see the images. (For background, this mess is a result of my company moving into a new office last year, when we had an AV installer install everything and attach these cables to the bottom of card tables in the AV room. Complicating things we didn’t get permanent furniture for the room till later, which required disconnecting all the cables. Now my employer prefers not to pay to have the AV installer come back to properly install the cables etc in the new furniture. So I’m trying to do the best, least expensive job myself that I can to manage these cables and get them off the floor.)

Thanks Greg. I edit on Adobe Premiere Pro CC and I personally typically shoot Canon 5D Mark 3 footage. I actually don’t mind if she compresses it a bit, since they use this footage very sparingly and apparently the file sizes are gigantic. I told her I usually compress 1920 X 1080 footage for vimeo at a bit rate of about 20,000 kbits/sec. Just let me know if you or anyone else has any feedback on this, thanks again.

Thank you Roger and Nick.

Thanks very much Dave and Joe. This is a big help.

Thanks very much Dave. Just to make sure I understand your advice, you’re saying I could pursue one of two options: importing the image separately into After Effects, instead of part of the Illustrator file, or actually re-drawing the logo in Illustrator? Just let me know if I misunderstood anything, thanks again. Also, I know this is an AE forum, but if you or anyone one else knows Illustrator well, or there easy ways to re-create a logo in Illustrator that don’t involve a lot of work?

[Neil Orman]

Sure Dave, thanks for the response. By shaking I mean this small jpeg image is visibly wiggling around within an otherwise stable map image. It’s subtle and it doesn’t change position much, but yes it’s wiggling or moving back and forth a very small distance, almost like a bobble head or something but only moving a tiny amount. It doesn’t seem to lose quality.

Thanks very much Alex and David, that’s very helpful. And I will try to upgrade soon.
