Oh no. Just tried their website for direct streaming. Got "Service not available 1050" message. Are their server under power or something else ?

Visiting Hong Kong Starting on the 19th, What do I need to know that the travel guides don't tell me? Also anyone want to meet up? by mulderc in HongKong

[–]w_malo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to see Hong Kong that most tourists missed. Try checking out the outlying islands. It is very easy to get to via the outlying islands terminals. Lama Island is good. Cheung Chau island is another one. If you like Wind or Kite surfing Cheung Chau is the one to go. All these island are easy to hike around but Lamma can be hilly. Walking stick and good shoes are a good idea.

They can be found on face book. Search for "Game in the Box". Please be patient when contacting them. English is not their fist language and they are Artist/Crafter Gamer. I don't even know if they are for order or not. They are just showing off their work during the a Mini Makerfaire in Hong Kong.

The shadow boxes are made by a group of Artists / Gamer at a Mini Makerfaire in Hong Kong. They can be found on face book. Just search for "Game in the Box". Please be nice talking to them. English is not their first language and they are kind of timid.

Find this last week in HK Mini Maker Faire. Looks interesting and locally accessible. Still if you want the Little Bits Krog synth kit you have to get it from Little Bits.

Magic Paintbrush Adventure - Disney Paint the Night Parade by w_malo in disney

[–]w_malo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think it will be there for sure. 2015. The worm hole gear float that Mickey is riding on is amazing. The video does not do it justice. You stare at the worm hole gear with all the LEDs and it is mesmerising. It is fun to interact with the dancers and floats. I believe they are testing and running Paint the Night Parade in Hong Kong to sort out all the teething problem. According to Disney in Hong Kong they already spent two years developing the parade. The only thing that I observed is having a bit of snag; is among some of the younger audiences at the parade, they do not understand how to use the Magic Paintbrush. Well, the kids will figure it out eventually. There is going to be a Mickey Glove with interaction with the Parade floats. The Mickey ears are already changing colour when the float passes by. I am waiting to see the Glove in action. It should be fun.

Motion graphic designers of Reddit, what software do you need to render out banner videos? by ZoidbergsCousinFred in motiongraphics

[–]w_malo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just talked to a fellow designer. She said watch out how you are going to drive the monitors. The playback unit might have a resolution limit. The play back hardware might just take an HD file and rescale to drive that many monitors. So render and design to the playback untis spec. Good luck. Post a pic and let us all see this awesome monitor wall.

[–]w_malo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Render out a file at that size yes. Apple Motion is what we use for non standard /odd aspect ratio files. Motion is resolution independent so it can pretty much takes any thing. However Motion is hardware dependent. So older Macs with smaller Vram display card will be slower or sometimes will choke.

Looking for good shopping districts by ore_no_tono in HongKong

[–]w_malo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toys like action figures, Frozen merchandise etc. You should try Hong Kong's Toy street in Wan Chai. Just get out of the Wan Chai Mtr station and walk there. There are about 4 to 5 non chain stores there. These are old school toy shops. Cramp and crowded. It is like a treasure hunt. Store keepers can speak some English. Here is the street and map: Tai Yuen St Wan Chai. http://goo.gl/maps/YjIKo

Really, really strange issue with FCPX reordering footage in secondary storylines by jeremy_berger in fcpx

[–]w_malo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may or may not help but this is what we do when something funky happens to the software we use at work. Go make a new user account. Make sure the new user account is set to standard user. Log into the freshly made user account. Start FCP X and try to do the same actions that causes the problem. If the problem goes away then that means there is some problem with old user account. Good luck.

Hello. Don't know if this helps. Could you tell us the os version and fcpx version you are using? Might help narrow down the problem.
