2 Simple FCE Questions

Hey, I'm kind of a noob at final cut and have 2 questions I think should be relatively simple to answer.
1. How can I make the audio clip stay with the video clip? For example if I move a video clip 5 seconds down the timeline, the audio clip that goes to that video clip doesn't move. The audio clip then has a red box on it that says its 5 seconds out of sync with the video clip. How can I make them move as one?
2. I took a 10 second clip in iMovie and cut out 8 seconds of it, so I'm left with a 2 second clip. When I drag that 2 second clip into Final Cut it's the old 10 second clip and not the cut down version. Any ideas on fixing this as well?
Thank you

1. Make sure linked selection is switched on. It's normally on by default. Leave it on. Little chain link button in the upper right of the timeline window.
2. You can't drag and drop from iMovie. If you dragged from the finder you'll loading the original media file. iMovie, like FCE, is a non-destructuve editor.

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

erjoalgo wrote:
I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

A few simple Logic questions...please help.

I have a few probably simple Logic questions, that are nonetheless frustrating me, wondering if someone could help me out.
1. I run Logic 8, all of the sounds that came with logic seem to work except organ sounds. I can't trigger any organ sounds (MIDI) on Logic, they won't play. I have a Yamaha Motif as my midi controller.
Any idea why?
2. I've starting running into a situation where I will record a MIDI track, the notes are recorded but they won't playback. The only track effected is the one that was just recorded. All other midi tracks playback.
I have to cut the track, usually go out of Logic and back in, re record for it to playback properly. Any idea why this may be happening?
3. How important is it to update to Logic 9. Are there any disadvantages down the road if I don't upgrade. If I purchase the $200 upgrade, do I get a package of discs and material, or it just a web download.
Any help is appreciated!

Simple Quick Question

you titled "simple quick question"...
.. complicated to answer..
a) the TermsOfUse of the iTS don't allow any processing of purchased files, these are "copy protected"..
b) iM has a voice-over function..
c) iM is a video-edit app.. easy to use... just learn to handle it...
d) iM allows to "extract" audio (=muting the original audio, adding your own..)
e) to learn iM, spend some time here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html
f) use pencil and paper first! WRITE and scribble, what shall happen when in your movie/parody... make a script, draw a storyboard .. THEN launch iM.. in other words: think first, then edit.. iM is just a tool, it does not "create"... Picasso needed a papertowel and half a stencil to create art....
g) to get comfortable with iM, start with your own, small, short (3min!) project... import some stills, edit them, add a funny voice-over, add sounds, add music... good? make a bigger one...
h) .. in our Lecture II, we teach you how to import shows from TV, youtube, wherever..

Simple query question

hi all,
I have a XMLType table with one column - I have presently one row, in my column xmlsitedata I have stored one large xml file.The schema definition is given below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Simple Report Question

Post Author: scott123
CA Forum: General
I want to take the information in a simple excel table and recreate it 3 times, each time sorting/grouping on a different columnHere is the tableAnd here is the report that I'm trying to generate (first sorted by name, alphabetically, then grouped by rank, then grouped by size) I'm comfortable working with excel tables in Crystal, but I'm running into a problem repeating the information and then sorting each group separately. I also have no problem doing each group in a single report (without repeating any records), but I'd like to include all 3 groups in a single report. My apologies for how remedial this question is- I thought for sure that Crystal could do this easily but I've spent a couple of days on this and am running into a brick wall.

That's right Scott, and maybe make them "on demand"
sub reports so the user only has to see the data they
really want at the moment. Gives the report a nice clean look too.

A simple security question

I'm trying to write a simple self-signed applet that use a jca provider but thi exception "java.security.SecurityPermission putProviderProperty.BC" is thrown. if I use a policy file, it works fine but for a beginner user is not very useful intall a new policy file.
After this I tried to write a new self-signed applet that read a file and open a ServerSocket on port 21, and it work fine without a new policy file!
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????
PS
if u have an idea to resolve my problem without a policy file, tell me pls!!! IT'S URGENT!!

An applet works out of a so-called sandbox. The security restrictions can be overcome in one of two ways that you have tried:
1) by the use of a policy file, or
2) by signing the applet
So, to answer your question:
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????Since the applet is signed, there is no need for a policy file......if you tried to access the socket without signing the applet, you'll get the security exception!

A somewhat simple security question......

If a mac running macosx has two separate user accounts, lets say one admin and the other a standard user, or both admins or both standard users.....
Is it possible for a hacked/penetrated account on one of the users to affect or read any info from the other user on the same machine ?
What application is in question; Safari lets say.....

So, disable all scripts and uninstall all plugins from the browser.
No java, No javascript, No plugins like flash, java, shockwave, quicktime, or adobe crap.
So, no functionality. What about that java applet I need to run 10 hours a day. Do you think I should go out of business over it? Or all my QT movies? Or, deprive myself of Flash, so I can't view the content of websites?
So, lets say you browse www.thissiteisinfected.com and have everything uninstalled (see above), and your smart enough to browse the web using a "STANDARD" user account and not the "ADMIN" user account.
Running from a standard user buys you nothing and adds additional steps. If you want to download an app, before you install, you will get a dialog warn you "XXXX is an application you downloaded from the internet..." So, you still have to authenticate. And what about *all the apps that need no authentication to install?*
You tell me how this website will inject crap into your MAC with the settings above???
There is no way to FORCE CODE into your browser if everything is disabled.
Tell me how it can "inject crap" into my "Mac" admin without my complicity.
I have bumped into a rouge antivirus website while on my macbook using safari.
All of a sudden a popup stated i had spyware, i could'nt close the box/window, I had to do a FORCE QUIT on SAFARI to get out of that page. It pretty much hijacked SAFARI.
This is nothing that can harm you. It is annoying having to force quit over it, but that is all.
My safari download settings place things on my desktop, sure enuff, there was a .EXE file sitting on my macbooks desktop.
Sure enough, your Mac can't do a thing with it.
NOTHING IS BULLETPROOF.
I agree but there are simpler ways to plant a rootkit you overlook, that have nothing to do admin accounts or ports. *The question is, who would want to?* Even if a black hat is randomly hunting for bank account numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc. he would pass up a UNIX based system with good protections in place for an easier target.
In short, in a home environment, I could never recommend running from a standard user. Especially if they are on a router and/or using OS X firewall. (The exception being if you have kids and want to use parental controls.) I have no idea how this mantra about using a non-admin account started, there is no place where Apple recommends this.

Simple Query Question - How do I return the Last 3 records of a Table?

Question.
For example, I have a table that has 50 records.
How do I, specify in SQL to only return the last 3 records of the table.
Select a.* from table a where ????

I was just trying to show an example to a friend on
how something like this would work and if it was even possible. But it won't work. Here's a simple example:
SQL> create table emp
2 (id)
3 as
4 select object_id
5 from   all_objects
6 order by object_id;
Table created.
SQL> select *
2 from (select rownum rn
3               ,b.*
4         from   emp b)
5 where rn > ( select (max(rownum) - 3)
6                from    emp)
7 ;
        RN         ID
     40830      55891
     40831      55892
     40832      55893So far, so good. These are the "last 3" rows inserted. Now delete a bunch of rows and insert 3 new ones:
SQL> delete emp where id < 40000;
33423 rows deleted.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> insert into emp values (60000);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values (60001);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values (60002);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select *
2 from (select rownum rn
3               ,b.*
4         from   emp b)
5 where rn > ( select (max(rownum) - 3)
6                from    emp)
7 ;
        RN         ID
      7410      55891
      7411      55892
      7412      55893Here's the problem. Even though the "last 3 rows" are 60000 - 60002, I still get the same ones as the first query.

Simple Mail question (couldn't find Mail forum)

Sorry to ask this on iCal forum, but I saw no forums dedicated specifically for regular Mail.
This is a simple question as I am a new Mac owner: I am used to using gmail for my email, and like this primarily because, given that it is a web based email application, I can access my email from any computer, anywhere, anytime.
Given my new Mac, I am interested in switching to the Mail application and was wondering if there is any way to check my email when I am away from my home computer? I think this would work with a mobileme account, but I have not obtained one as of yet.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...

Thanks Kosmoe...
One other question...if I do indeed create a new email account and use the Mail application for it, will I be able to check messages via the internet from any computer or only from my own?
And, if I want to be able to check from any computer, then it seems like getting a mobile me account would solve the problem, right? I am assuming mobile me email can be accessed from anywhere?
Sorry to be such a Mac newbie! But so far loving the whole Mac experience!

2 simple newbie questions!

hi, I have some simple questions. I already searched on the web for some answers but I couldnt find any :(
1. Is there any way to make a class execute another class's method every x minutes (say 5)? like an external signal that every 5 minutes executes "regelsysteem.genereerOverzicht()"
2. i would like to retrieve the system's current time and date (in string format), how could i do this?
thanks :)

1. See Timer in the API Docs.
2. See Date, Calendar, and DateFormat ditto.

Simple Router Question (except not simple for me)

(Couldn't find another place for this question so I put it here.)
I have a router between my broadband modem and my Macs on the blink. I want to get a new one. I'm not asking for product recommendations as much as terminology clarification.
Again, I need a box that accepts my ethernet cable coming out of my broadband modem. I don't need wireless. It's simply going to allow me to offer ethernet cables out to Airport Express, iMac, etcetera.
What am I precisely looking for?
An ethernet router? Splitter? Does it need to have some sort of high bandwidth? The thing is I see these produces vaguely named and prices all over the place. A simple ethernet 'hub' strikes me as something very cheap ($20-30).
Any help truly appreciated.

Unless your broadband modem is "Also" a router, you need a router.
The Airport Express is a router, but it takes the ethernet cable and provides routing services for WiFi devices. It will not provide additional ethernet services for other devices.
You can NOT use an ethernet switch nor an ethernet hub.
While you can get ethernet only routers, the chances are that you will pay a premium over just getting a WiFi base station.
A WiFi base station is mostly a commodity items so they are often very inexpensive.
If you really do not need the WiFi services, many WiFi base stations allow you to turn off the WiFi.
Also note. If you are going to use the Airport Express to provide your WiFi, then you should configure it so it is in "Bridge" mode, otherwise you will have multiple isolated subnets where the devices on WiFi will not be able to properly see the devices on your ethernet. Putting the Airport Express in "Bridge" mode makes the WiFi network part of the same subnet that the ethernet devcies are on.

Simple selector question

Don't know why I can't figure this out, but In my html page I have the following simple text which are directions to an office:
<div id="maincontent">
   <p>FROM THE
        LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY: Get off at exit 37, Willis Ave. Then follow the directions below
    from the <font color="#FF3300">*</font>.<br />
        <br />
        FROM THE
        NORTHERN STATE: Going eastward, get off at exit 28S, Willis Ave. If going
        westward, get off at exit 28, Willis Ave. Then follow the directions below
    from the <font color="#FF3300">*</font>.<br />
    <br />
        <font color="#FF0000">*</font> Turn
        South onto Willis Ave. for approximately 3 miles. Cross over Jericho Tpk (Rt.
        etc. etc. etc. etc.
</p>
</div>
#maincontent p       is defined in an external css file and has the property text-align:center   and I did it this way since I use this in other pages on the site. However, on this particular page, I would like this p text to be left aligned. If I'm in the CSS portion of the property inspector, and select the text of the paragraph and then click on the left alignment icon in the property inspector, a box opens up where it asks me to define a new compund rule and asks me to name it, and gives me the starting point of      #maincontent p
My question is what should I type in this box as the name (which I'll use only in this page so I'll check that checkbox) so that I can then continue on and choose left aligned from the choices that follow. Thanks.

Here is the code for the page (line 72 is the line you had me put in and I've bolded it for you), and the css you told me was put at the very end of the external css file.
