How to make a Track matte on a text layer??

Hi,
I have two text layers stacked one above the other. The top layer scales up and blows up to reveal the text layer down. I have tried to use the Text Layer above to the down below but it disappears and does not show any effect. The same effect shows up when I have a simple image and a text above it, as I watched a couple of tutorials on various on line resources, but does not show anything if the layer beneath is alos a text layer created in after effects.
I know I am wrong somewhere.
Please help me sir.
Thanks,
Kangana

I'm sorry, but I realyl can't picture what you are describing. Please provide screenshots of your timeline and the result and tell us more about what's involved. Generalyl it doesn't matter how you create such matte effects - they work wit hal layer types - but you may be using a specific effect, layer style or otehr feature that breaks this functionality and may requirte pre-composing or otehr techniques to compensate.

Hey Pancenter there are still lots of us about.
I wouldn't take the original post too seriously - I may of course be naive but it sounds like it could be a troll to me!
I learn a lot from reading the posts of the likes of you, Erik, Bee Jay, sampleconstruct, noeqplease etc so I hope you guys don't become too dispondent when you see posts like these.
By the same token, I hope the Logic team continue to use their talents to develop powerful software that caters for the professional user, while allowing Garageband to continue to do its (excellent) job of providing for its market.

How to make timecode track in transcoded file match original

Using Compressor 4.1.3, when I make an H264 QT from a DNX36 QT, the timecode track does not replicate properly. The first frame of timecode repeats for a frame which makes every frame after that read as one frame earlier than it is in the original file.
For example, the first frame of the original file is 01:00:00:00. In the H264, the 1st and 2nd frames are 01:00:00:00, and the 3rd frame is 01:00:00:01. The 3rd frame should be 01:00:00:02.
The DNX36 is a QT Reference movie exported from Avid MC 7.0.4.1. I am reading the timecode on the QuickTimes using QuickTime Player 7.6.6. This works correctly with Mac OS 10.7.5 and Compressor 3.5.3.
The system I'm having the trouble on is Mac OS 10.9.4, Compressor 4.1.3
Any ideas on how to make the timecode track of the transcoded file match the original?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. Is a string child the contents of a node treated as text?
If you are trying to match a child node regardless of case I doubt this is possible as the XML standard says an XML document is case sensitive so if your parser ignored case it would not be XML complient.
Hope this helps.

How to make Different Tracks in a Recording

HI there ...
I'm just starting to make my way around GarageBand ...
I have to do a recording tomorrow ... its an audition for a pianist. He's going to have to play some solos, scales etc ... all told it will be about an hour and a half of recording or more ...
What I need to know is ..... Every part of the audition has to end up as a different track on the cd I make of it. For example the ten scales has to play would each be a track number ... his solo piece another number and so on.
How do I mark tracks on the recording? Also ... if I set up the recording and just press record every time he plays ..... am I going to have enough space in the one project to record everything? I thought I read somewhere that garageband has a limit on the number of bars that it can record.
Thanks so much for any help .......

I just looked at Amadeus Pro on the web .... Does it do recording too?
Yes
How many tracks can it do ....
I don't think it's actually specified, but lots. (Actually I don't think this is what you are talkin aboujt, it can do numerous simultaneous tracks for mixing down: but yes, you can split a single recording into separate ones.)
If I record on GarageBand ... can I use Amadeus to
edit the GarageBand file? ...
Yes - first export to iTunes then drag the file from iTunes to the desktop and then drag that to the Amadeus Pro icon in the dock.
.... Cut sections out ... Mark tracks .... and burn a
CD? ....
Yes, yes and yes. The program is still in beta and I haven't actually tried the CD burning facility, but in any case you can burn audio CDs from iTunes.

How to make fields in field group as text fields in ABAP query

Hi friends,
I a have a ABAP query 85 corresponding to infoset A205,
there is a field group in the infoset A205 and it contains some fields
but some of the fields are made as text fields ................i want to know how to make these fields in
the field group as text fields.
there is a small icon " T " on the field when it is made as a text field .
Please help me
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
IF you can specify which Field Catalog then it will be useful for us to provide appropriate answer.
1. For Customer Master
IMG> Financial Accounting New> Acs Recev and Acs Payable --> Customer Accounts --> Master Data --> Preperation of creating customer master Data --> Define Account Groups with screen layout (customers)
In that you can create your own account group, and click Details Screen.
There will Field Status header within that are listed three main areas
General data
Company code data
Sales data
When you double click these lines it will take you into "Status Group" Overview. Wherein under "Select Group" are listed fields Address, communiucation.... Double click on one group , you will bet aken into the group field wherein you will find 4 colums with indicators assigned to it. ( Suppress, Req. Entry, Opt Entry, Display) you can choose the required option. "Req. Entry" against the field. Click save after you complete your selections.
2. Similarly you can do for Material Master in
IMG --> Logistics General --> Material Master --> Field Selection --> Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens
But be careful when you do it for material master as it is cuts across all the modules...

How to make a gradual opacity fade on a layer

Q: How do I make a layer gradually fade to reveal a layer beneath it?
A: Use a Layer Mask; On your top layer, select Layer>Layer Mask (Reveal all or Hide all), then select the Gradient Tool, and make a black & white gradient on the layer mask. The layer mask is the white thumbnail to the right of the layer thumbnail in the Layer Palette, and must be selected before applying the gradient.
Depending on your settings, white is 100% opaque, and black is 100% transparent. 50% black is 50% transparent etcetera. You may also use a regular paintbrush on the Layer Mask.
A2: Use Quick Mask; Hit Q on your keyboard, then make a black and white gradient with the Gradient Tool (your image will turn red to show you the mask). Hit Q again. You can now either make a Layer Mask from this selection (Hit the Add Layer Mask button on the bottom of the Layer Palette), OR you can simply hit the delete button on your keyboard (note that deleting is destructive compared to a Layer Mask).

How to make a stationary crop for a rotating layer

I've got some rotating/spinning layers in my video. I'm having the darndest time trying to crop these so that they don't leave the bottom and top boundary of the the video. For example, I have a long rectangular shaped object that spins 360 degrees. When this layer rotates into a vertical position it overlaps the bottom and top margins. (i'm using a 16:9 format) So I guess I need to know how to create some sort of mask or opaque layer or margin that will hide part of the spinning layer. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
there are many ways to achieve that and some of us have free generators that could be used for that purpose too, however, using a Color Solid from Effects tab>Generators>Matte is a viable option.
What you need to do is drag the Color Solid onto the timeline, above your rotating clip, then highlight the matte and in the Motion Tab (Viewer)Crop the Bottom as you wish(in the matte controls choose color, black I suppose). Now duplicate the matte, place it above the first Color Solid and either reposition the black matte as needed or reset crop controls and crop Top.

Cannot apply track matte to a second layer

hi
i have a footage showing office's screen which displays some statistics, etc.
I masked out that screen and added a different footage within mask's boundaries and now the screen displays some football match instead.
Now i want to add another footage right after football footage - to imitate switching between tv channels (i guess it's also called channel surfing?). In other words, i want that screen to display a football match, then some news report, then some documentary, etc.
So i added 2nd footage to may composition and placed it under football layer (refer to printscreen)
I selected football and 2nd footage and made a precomposition. then applied Alpha matte and set track matte as parent. Did not work - only a white rectangle was displayed instead of footage.
Then i tried to duplicate track matte and placed it right above 2nd footage and set it (track matte duplicate) as parent - was thinking that each new footage may require separate track matte. did not work either...
if somebody could take a look at the printscreen and gie advise it would be awesome.
By the way, i managed to display 2nd footage by applying Alpha inverted matte and setting it as a child to track matte, but its not quite right because i have to meticulously adjust 2nd footage's size manually to fit into office screen's frame and its really hard to do

A Track Matte only works on the layer IMMEDIATELY BELOW IT. In your screen shot, you can split the original track matte layer, move it just above your 2nd footage layer, and things should be good.

How to make audio track respond to timeline

I'm starting a project and need the ability to control the speed of an audio file playback using the timeline.
There are specific events that happen at certain times in the song, and i need the ability to scrub forward and backward on the timeline, including the audio. is this possible?
I have a mechanism to scrub through the timeline of a symbol, but i can't get it to recognize the audio track.
I use this code on the stage in a "composition ready"
var symDur = sym.getSymbol("timelinePlay").getDuration(); // Get the timeline length of timelinePlay. We'll reference this later in the code. var mySymbol = sym.getSymbol("timelinePlay"); // Get the symbol timelinePlay. We'll reference this later in the code. var scrubber = sym.$("scrubber"); // Touch this to scrub the timeline of timelinePlay var bar = sym.$("bar"); // Bar the scrubber follows sym.$("mobileHit").hide(); // Added an extra invisible div to increase the hit region for mobile (hard to grab otherwise) var dragme = false; // Set the initial dragme function to false // Detect if mobile device, and if so swap out mouse events for touch events. This is pretty much duplicated code with touch events swapped. if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) { sym.$("mobileHit").show(); // Show the extra invisible div to increase the hit region for mobile (hard to grab otherwise) $(function () { scrubber.bind("touchstart", function (e) { // Enable the scrubber on touchstart e.preventDefault(); // Cancels the default action of the mobile device - used to ensure our touch events are fired dragme = true; }); scrubber.bind("touchend", function () { // Disable the scrubber on touchend e.preventDefault(); dragme = false; }); scrubber.bind("touchmove", function (e) { // Make the magic happen on touchmove if (dragme) { var touch = e.originalEvent.touches[0]; var possibleX = touch.pageX; var leftX = bar.offset().left; var rightX = (leftX + bar.width()) - scrubber.width(); var scrubWidth = rightX - leftX; // Confine the scrubber to the width of the bar if (possibleX < leftX) { possibleX = leftX; } if (possibleX > rightX) { possibleX = rightX; } scrubber.offset({ left: possibleX }); var relativeX = possibleX - leftX; var stopTimeline = Math.ceil((relativeX / scrubWidth) * symDur); // Make the scrubber scrub the timeline length of timelinePlay mySymbol.stop(stopTimeline); // Stop the timeline of timelinePlay when the scrubber is released } }); }) } else $(function () { scrubber.mousedown(function () { // Enable the scrubber on mousedown dragme = true }) $(document).mouseup(function () { // Disable the scrubber on mouseup dragme = false }) $(document).mousemove(function (e) { // Make the magic happen on mousemove if (dragme) { var possibleX = e.pageX; var leftX = bar.offset().left; var rightX = (leftX + bar.width()) - scrubber.width(); var scrubWidth = rightX - leftX; // Confine the scrubber to the width of the bar if (possibleX < leftX) { possibleX = leftX; } if (possibleX > rightX) { possibleX = rightX; } scrubber.offset({ left: possibleX }); var relativeX = possibleX - leftX; var stopTimeline = Math.ceil((relativeX / scrubWidth) * symDur); // Make the scrubber scrub the timeline length of timelinePlay mySymbol.stop(stopTimeline); // Stop the timeline of timelinePlay when the scrubber is released } }) })
and have an group called 'scrubber' that contains a div called 'dot' and a box called 'mobileHit.' There's a horizontal bar that's not included in the 'scrubber' div (representation of a timeline) called 'bar' on top of which the 'scrubber' sits.
the whole contraption controls a symbol called "timelinePlay"
If there's any way to get the audio included in the timeline and give me the ability to scrub through the timeline /and/ audio, (imagine manually fast forwarding and rewinding a VHS tape) that would be wonderful!!!

anybody?

How to make arched tracks?

Hi,
I'm building Led boards for power leds mounted on a circular board.
To go from one led's connection (series connection) to another one, I'd like to use circular (arched) tracks...
using the normal 0° / 45° / 90° tracks looks quite messy, and makes me loose valuable cooling space..
Does anyone know a good ad simple trick to do so?
Best regards
Johan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Johan,
I don't know of a way to make perfect spirals in Ultiboard, but you can use the arc tool. The arc tool continues drawing from the end point of the last arc if you don't leave arc drawing mode. This makes it easy to make spirals by attaching cirular arcs of increasing diameter. I suggest the following:
Figure out the width and pitch of the spiral you are drawing
Set the grid to cartesian with grid size of the pitch of your spiral
Activate the copper layer to place the spiral on
Select the arc tool
Change the copper width to the width of your spiral
Start placing copper, each end point of each arc should be directly opposite to the previous point
I am afraid I may not be very clear. Here's an attachment that shows what I mean. It should work in Ultiboard 10.1.1.
Hope that helps.

How to make various tracks distinctly visible in fcpx ?

I have to remember what material I have put in which track.....Is there a way to create a visual difference by color or name or something that in you multi track project you can just know that in this layer are the NG takes....or in this are the safety shots or something like that....it visually becomes confusing when project becomes big.Or like one compound clips is lying in which are all the 'might be used' shots.....can I label it in someway that I can recognize the clip among hundreds of them.....??

Custom Roles (and Sub-Roles) -- I know it sounds like a pain in the you-know-where... but it can be a timesaver if you have the discipline to set them up.
When you select the role/subrole you're working on, the clips "light up" and are easily distinguishable from all other clips on the storyline.
Below I have "old edit" highlighted (and the "new edit" clip thumbnails are minimized [see the small icon on the right side of the column is selected:])
And below the "new edit" role is selected lighting up the clip on the storyline.
You can command click multiple roles/subroles to highlight different wider-scoped aspects of your project.
You can also change Roles for clips once their status has changed. There are a variety of ways to do this, but one of the easiest is to customize the timeline index a little first. If you go to the Clips tab and right click on the column title bar, you can set what is shown:
I have Position and Roles showing (I don't use notes ordinarily nor the Active Angle as I don't do a lot of multicam.) From this pane, you can shift or command click any number of clips in your storyline then go to any one of the downward turned triangles in the Roles column and change the assigned role for all those clips simultaneously.
There's no way (yet) to set the colors of clips, but you can do a lot of very sophisticated organizational things with Roles.

How to make CD track markers when exporting multiple tracks from one track

I have been remixing a soundtrack on one track. I have imported in many tracks and worked on them as one project and now I'd like to export them as seperate tracks by giving them track markers. I've been reading the manual and this forum but haven't found anything about it. I also wanted to use Logic to clean up some old vinyl records and export them as CDs. Help please.
