It’s not as flexible for transcoding or adding markers the way Adobe Prelude is. It now handles all sorts of file-based camera material (such as P2, XDCAM, and RED). It’s a media browser that is optimized mostly for still photography, but it has loads of power for video users.Īdobe Bridge has come quite a distance since the first edition of this book. In case you’ve never used it, it’s a dynamic media browser-think of it as a file browser on steroids. Most people encounter Adobe Bridge ( Figure 4.11) via Adobe Photoshop. You can now quit Adobe Prelude and close the project.In your own projects, be sure to give the bin a more discrptive name that matches the content and role of the footage. The files appear in the Project panel ready for you to use. Choose File > Send to Premiere Pro to transfer to the Adobe Premiere Pro project that’s currently open (you must have a project open).Select all the clips in your Adobe Prelude project, and place them in the new bin.Create a new bin called P2 Media from Prelude.Let’s send our ingested video to Adobe Premiere Pro.

You can also add descriptive markers that speed up the editorial process.

You can also quickly access it by pressing Shift+8. If you want to access a second project, you have to import it.īy default, you’ll find the Media Browser in the lower-left corner (if your workspace is set to Editing). Adobe Premiere Pro permits only one project to be open at a time. Yes, Adobe Premiere Pro projects and After Effects projects can be imported into the Project panel as well. Being able to see this meta-data makes it far easier to select from long lists of files or shots. Not only does it display the files in a straight list, but it also adjusts the view using the metadata. Its flexibility makes it superior to the standard file system import. Our favorite import method, by far, is the Media Browser ( Figure 4.3). Just make sure there is no difference in the new asset, such as duration or frame size. If you replace an old file with a newer one (and match the name), Adobe Premiere Pro can connect to the new asset. Consider renaming or removing old files at the desktop level. There are too many stories of different versions of a graphic and editors being unsure of which one was being used. Any external materials to Adobe Premiere Pro will then live with the project. Although Adobe Premiere Pro can import files and footage from anywhere, it’s best to copy files and footage into a folder within the project. You’ll be able to go back to the “virtual tapes” if you ever need to reload. Be sure to create a verified copy or disk image of your tapeless media in your project’s folder. Here are a few key techniques to remember: Good editors start organized and stay organized from the beginning to the end of the edit. Who knows exactly what corners you cut last month (or last year). Nowhere is that statement more true than when you’re importing footage. ![]() ![]() ![]()

The maximum credit amount allowed is 35% of your employment-related expenses.

For 2022, the credit for the child and dependent care expenses is nonrefundable. ![]() The changes to the credit for child and dependent care expenses implemented by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) were not extended.

Pension or annuity from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or a nongovernmental section 457 plan are now reported on Schedule 1, line 8t. Thus, when deciding how to assist employees with their moving expenses during the suspension period, you will want to carefully balance convenience, cost, and the precedent this may set (especially if the old rules are restored after 2025).įor more information, see EBIA’s Fringe Benefits manual at Sections II.E (“Employee Business Expense Reimbursements”) and XVII.F (“Tax Treatment of Qualified and Nonqualified Moving Expense Benefits”).Scholarships and fellowship grants are now reported on Schedule 1, line 8r. Payments for unsubstantiated moving expenses could be provided as a separate item or as part of a signing bonus, but the tax consequences would be the same.įorgoing substantiation altogether would simplify administration, but without substantiation your company will not be able to confirm that the payments were actually used for moving expenses, and your program cost could be higher than necessary. As a result, your company will have more flexibility to define reimbursable expenses, and could relax, or even eliminate, its substantiation requirements. If your company decides to continue helping new employees pay for their moving expenses, its total cost could rise (due to the FICA tax), but reimbursements will not be limited by the Code § 217 deduction. Withholding is at the same rate as for the employee’s other wages, unless the employer elects to treat the moving expense as supplemental wages. ![]() ![]() Moving expense reimbursements paid under a nonaccountable plan must be reported as wages and are subject to FICA and FUTA taxes. In essence, employer-paid moving expense reimbursements will be treated as reimbursements made under a nonaccountable plan, e.g., a plan that gives employees an allowance for expenses, but does not require that employees account for their actual expenses or return any excess allowance. (Under those rules, an expense reimbursement is nontaxable if the expense has a business connection, the employee adequately accounts for the expense within a reasonable time, and any excess reimbursement is timely returned.) Tax-free moving expense reimbursements were not subject to the employer or employee portion of FICA tax.ĭuring the suspension period, however, both the employer and employee portions of the FICA tax apply to moving expense reimbursements. Here’s why.īefore the Act, qualified moving expenses paid by an employer were not subject to income or employment taxes if paid under the accountable plan rules. Loss of the exclusion might, however, make employer-provided moving expense benefits more expensive for your company. In most cases, those expenses should continue to be fully deductible by employers. Loss of those tax advantages affects the tax consequences for employees, but it does not prohibit employers from continuing to pay for employees’ moving expenses. During that suspension period, only members of the Armed Forces on active duty who move pursuant to military orders and incident to a permanent change of station can still use the deduction and exclusion. ![]() Now that there is no deduction for moving expenses, can we still reimburse moving expenses?ĪNSWER: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act suspended the moving expense deduction for individuals and the exclusion for amounts employers pay for deductible moving expenses (“qualified moving expense reimbursements”) for taxable years beginning after 2017 and before 2026.

In addition the service representative acted as if they were doing me a big favor in correcting the mistake and issuing me a refund. I asked to speak to a supervisor, and was disconnected, and I received no email. I called again on 6/19, and the customer service representative acknowledged that the refund was incorrect, and said a manual refund would be processed in 2-3 days, and I would receive a email in 30 minutes. It was a refund for only 1 of the 2 items, even though the email said it was for 2 items. On 6/19, 17 days later, I received a note that I would be receiving a credit however it was for the incorrect amount. I called again on 6/2, and was told that the customer representative did not follow the correct process, and that they would process it correctly and I would receive a refund in 24-48 hours. I called in May, and was told be the customer representative that I would receive a refund in 24-48 hours. Inspite of receiving a confirmation email, I never received a response or my refund. I wrote regarding this on 4/13, and again on 5/19. The return was received on 3/26, according to BB&B's website. On 3/21/21 I returned, via FedEx, 2 items purchased on 2/24/21.

The Uru Live Guilds had become a source of drama and aggravation driving many away from the game. I’ll help people and support them, but direction has to come from within each member. There isn’t much to do anyway.Īs the GoC has always been pretty much a lasse faire group I’ve never encouraged anyone to try and ‘run’ the group and I certainly don’t. I probably haven’t been in the Cavern for a couple of years. Once Cyan caved to the Slackers (hackers) and tolerated having the online game hacked, I and some friends decided the cavern was no longer safe for us. I scan the Myst Online forum almost daily (Feedly). I still have Myst and Uru Live as my favorite games. I think my canned answer is about as accurate as it gets for a quick answer. Not having that kind of time I changed the security and got it working. I’ve been intending to move the site to one of my domains and hosts for a LONG time. ( Uru Maps) As security was increased on the parent server something was over looked and none of the images show. I also found that the Maps site I run was broken. If no GoC member goes into the game, is the GoC still around? If I answer questions on the forum, is the GoC still around? My now standard answer is sort of. OSGrid has more concurrent players on a slow day. Single new players work their way through the now free to play Uru Live. We have no idea how many have actually played or are signed up to get access to the Cavern, as Uru Live is called by players. OSGrid has 111,948 members with anywhere from none to a couple of hundred online at one time, usually 50 to 100. The most often asked question, ‘Is it still around?’ Well, is Myst Online: Uru Live still around? Which is like asking if OSGrid is still around. I still have people chase me down to ask questions about the GoC. Some percentage of us became movers and shakers in SL… not monumental shakers, maybe a 3 or 4 on the Richtor scale… If you script, build, are into furniture or clothes making, building, or role playing you are likely to know some of those people.

Plastic laminate and other composites reduce the vibrations in the glass. The second process is to add laminate on the glass. Using Plastic Laminates For Soundproofing Related article: Soundproofing sliding glass doors. The usual combination is around a 30% differential in thickness, which allows for a better decoupling interlayer. To prevent coincidence frequency, a lot of soundproof windows use a variant thickness for multiple layers. With enough thickness, the frequency of the audio can go so low that it can be at an audible range to the human ear. The usual problem with thickness comes with lowering the frequency where the glass panel vibrates. When this happens, you get louder noise instead of eliminating it. Coincidence frequency is a phenomenon where, due to shape and size, glass can amplify sounds instead of dampening it. When going for thickness, any sheet of glass will have what we call coincidence frequency. Thick glass lets the energy dissipate on its surface, reducing noise. As we know, thicker materials allow less sound to pass through. To make glass soundproof, a couple of steps happen.įirst, soundproof glass manufacturers will add mass, making the glass thicker. It immediately vibrates once it receives sound waves, which it either reverberates or lets through. The glass itself is a bad soundproofing material. They block direct sound waves that come from the outside. Much of these barriers include walls, drywall, windows, and doors. ![]() So, now that we know how soundproofing works, how does soundproof glass work ? Many homes use barriers that take on noise and try to reflect it to the outside. Soundproofing Windowsīefore I go into details about soundproof glass, Check out my article on soundproofing windows and don’t miss out the video. By reducing conduction through dampening materials, you can help dissipate as sound travels. The last principle of soundproofing is conduction, where there is a transference of energy from a material to another. ![]() Most dampeners convert the mechanical energy into something else, whether it’s into heat or something else. With resonance dampening, your material reduces the magnitude of the sound. Instead of reflecting it, it dissipates it across its surface, making it weaker in the process. ![]() Soft surfaces soak up the energy of the sound. Materials with strong absorption capabilities will eliminate a good chunk of the sound wave’s energy. With no materials to move, the sound will dissipate faster through the air. More materials isolated means you lose much of the energy in the air. With mechanical isolation, it separates the materials from each other, forcing the sound to move through the air. The thicker your material is, the less likely sound can penetrate through it. As sound is an energy, there’s only so much energy that you can produce to make massive materials vibrate on both sides. Mass reduces noise by making it harder for sound to penetrate. To block any noise, you need to fulfill five principles of soundproofing. Low-range frequencies are much harder to block, so you need to take this into account. Many soundproof materials block mid-range to upper range frequencies, like a human voice and bird chirps. ![]() What we call soundproof does not mean zero sound, but rather a term for 90 – 95% noise reduction. Even then, it’s not very hard to achieve soundproofing of more than 95%. Unless you spend on commercial level materials, there are no residential applications that give total soundproofing. As an affiliate, I may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page.īefore anything, we need to understand that it’s near impossible to soundproof a home 100%. ![]() |
