Unplug the card reader! For me MC wont work if any card reader is plugged in! And it’s something to do with AMA…

[Sanjin Švajger]

Right. I’ll forget about DCP for now. I see this is a whole other investment to make:)

AE adjusts the image accordingly to the ICC profile, I get that yes. My screen is 2.3 so if my broadcaster uses 2.5 I should actually calibrate my screen to 2.5 is that it? I just basically want to see what the material is going to look like when broadcasted…

Walter do you know maybe what gamma AE uses in rec709? 2.22 or 2.35 or 2.5?

[Sanjin Švajger]

Okey, I’ll check that thread out. Looks like there’s some learning ahead for me:)
Thanks for the help so far!:)

[Sanjin Švajger]

Okey, great! So just to be clear the image in AE will look the same as it will when it’s going to be broadcasted? I mean…am I going to survive without an I/O and a broadcast monitor? 🙂

There’s also the ting with the luma levels. I’ll be exporting or linking actually (using automatic duck) from Media composer 6 to AE6 DVCproHD material. That’s Y’CbCr material 16-235 and I think it has super whites… Is there maybe a new document about how AE handles luma levels? I’ve got a rather nice document (haven’t read it yet though…) from CS4.

[Sanjin Švajger]

Okey, I get it. I just calibrate my monitor so that it shows the correct image. Then in AE I set my project to REC709 and when rendering out I also set project management to rec709 and that’s it. Right?:)

[Sanjin Švajger]

Hi! Old thread I know…:) But I’m kinda at exactly the same point that the OP was 5 months ago.
I have the same monitor and am also going to grade a show for TV with AE (CS6). But unlike the OP my monitor needs another calibration. So my question goes: how do I calibrate my monitor? I’ll be using a similiar device as the OP. Do I calibrate to an sRGB colour space and gamma or do I calibrate to an REC709 (if this will be possible..). THX!

double post.

Found the sollution.

Funny enough postgreSQL didn’t have the adequate permissions to use a directory that it created.
(creative people shouldn’t have to be dealing with such stuff!:))
The directory is “data” and is located in the postgreSQL directory ie. PostgreSQL/9.0/Data

What needs to be done is let the installer install postgreSQL with the error (“problem running post-install step”) and then don’t proceed with the DaVinci install (not necessary, but if you value your time don’t because you’ll have to uninstall it and install it again!).
Then uninstal postgreSQL. Don’t worry if a couple of errors come when unstalling. At the end of the unstialling process it will ask you if you want to delete the folders. It is very important that you don’t. Just say OK and proceed. Than it’s going to say that the uninstallation completed successfully.

Then run the CMD command and type “net user postgres /delete” (with out “”)(I don’t know if this step is necessary).

Now go to the postgreSQL folder and right click on the folder and go to properties, security tab, and set the permissions to all users to “full control”. And that basically it. Now the postgreSQL installer will have permissions to use this folder and the installation will complete without errors.

Oh yeh, before doing this it would be smart to disable user account control UAC.

Windows 7

Click your Start button and open the “Control Panel”.
Select “User Accounts and Family Safety.
Select “User Accounts
Click “Change User Account Control settings”.
Drag the slider down to the bottom “Never notify” then click OK.
You must now restart your computer for the changes to take effect. Once your computer restarts, proceed with your PokerTracker and PostgreSQL installation.

That’s it!

Now, back to real work.
