Color off 60 FPS on 30 FPS timeline Adobe Premiere Pro

 

When adding a 60 fps video in Adobe Premiere Pro to my 30 fps timeline – the color on the 60 fps video is off. To fix this, I went to color management and experimented with the color space override options. Rec. 709 (Scene) worked for me to make the 60 fps video color match correctly. I hope this saves you some time. Check on the short 1 minute video above to see exactly what I did.

Domain Client using Local CMOS Clock

Domain client time off from domain controller time:
ISSUE: Some of my Windows 10 machines in AD domain were off by a few minutes. After running w32tm /query /status
I found that the source was set to local CMOS clock on the domain client machine. I tried the standard fix to update client to domain:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
net stop w32time net start w32time
But that didn’t work and neither did any of the other suggestions I tried.

After running DCDIAG on my Domain Controller I noticed that it stated that it was not advertising as a time source. Upon further investigation, I found that my Domain Controller VM had the setting to use time integration services with the Hyper-V Host. Once I changed that setting – I reset the NTP settings on the domain controller holding the PDC role with the following settings: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time2.google.com /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
Then run: net stop w32time and net start w32time

I ran DCDIAG again on my DC and it now shows that it passed test advertising. You can wait a while and the domain clients should start using the Domain controller for time once they check back in or if you can’t wait then you can remote desktop to your domain client(s) and run:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update net stop w32time and then
net start w32time Verify time settings on your client using: w32tm /query /status w32tm /query /configuration

iPhone a device attached to the system is not functioning

Whenever I try to copy files using file explorer on my Windows computer from my iPhone it fails with the following error:  A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Most of the time it will copy a few files before giving this error and failing to copy any more files.  I Googled this error and tried the 3 most common suggestions to fix this (none worked for me) which were: 
1. Use a different USB port on my computer (same error). 
2. Use a different iPhone cable (same error).
3. Try on a different computer (same error). 

What worked for me allowing all the photos and videos to be copied at one time was the following:

Solution: 
1. On your iPhone go to - Settings - Photos and scroll to the bottom. 
2. Under "TRANSFER TO MAC OR PC" - change from Automatic to Keep Originals. 

3. Reconnect your iPhone to your PC and retry copying your photos. 

Note - you may end up with a few .HEIC files which your Windows computer might not recognize.  If so, you can use a free .HEIC to jpeg converter downloaded from the internet.  My preference is to install a Virtual Machine on my PC and use that to test any freeware software that I use for something like this.
