I don't understand how the drop zone works in Title effects.

I am having trouble understanding how the drop zone in the "Keynote" title effect works.  I added the title effect to my storyline.  In the inspector, Title tab, I selected the clip in the Event library, in this case a tiff photo.  The thumbnail and clip title display in the inspector, but the clip does not display in the Viewer when I play the storyline even after FCPX has rendered.
Am I missing something in my understanding of this title effect or is there a problem in FCPX (10.0.6)?  Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

There are two ways in which drop zones are available in the Keynote title template. What Luis has shown you is the normal way in which a title placed over a clip shows you the original clip with the title text. That is called a Final Cut placeholder type of drop zone. Keynote also offers a drop zone to be used as a background choice instead of a gradient or solid as you see in Luis's post. This makes a very nice title effect as you can use any clip for that background. That is what I thought you were refering to when you you said drop zone. Keynote is one of the nicer titles we have available in FCP because of this feature. Glad you got it sorted out.

  • I don't understand how the Passbook App work.  It makes no sense, and I cannot get any of my cards into the App.

    I upgraded to the new iOS 6 and I have no clue how Passbook App works.  How does it work, how do you install your loyalty cards, plane tickets, etc? 
    In the commerical, they show Starbucks in the Passbook App, however when I open the app, all I can do is go to the App Store.  When directed there, Starbucks doesn't even appear.  
    Help would be appreciated. 

    I got Walgreens into Passbook but then when I opened up Passbook to get another App the only screen it would show is Walgreens card.  So I deleted it and now I can't get any apps in Passbook.  I think it just plain ***** but I still like the iOS 6 platform better.

  • I don't understand how the API is meant to work

    I understand the concepts and all, but I don't understand the structure of the API and how it works
    Please help
    thankyou

    It sounds like you need to start with the absolute basics. Click the "Tutorials" link on the left side of this page, and/or get a good intro to Java book. It doesn't make sense to even try to explain how to use the APIs until you have some concept of the language basics. When you do, then you can ask questions about specific problems you're having with the APIs.

  • TS1702 I don't understand how the report a problem process works

    I was advised by an app support team member that I need to report a problem on their app to get my money refunded.  The purchase was an in-app purchase for an upgrade to MVP in the Mapmyride app.The mapmyride support said that thre is a bug in their app tha will not allow such in-app upgrade.  I went to my itunes account and picked the report a problem button and nothing happened.  I expected it to go farther to ask me what the problem was and there was nothing.  Is there more for me to do to get my money refunded for this purchase?  my purchase was on 3/28 in the mapmyride app.  Thankyou.

  • I'm having trouble understanding how the Address Book "works".

    I like to have one card for each organization not each  Person, if that is possible.
    For example,   Thunderbirds Organization:   Jeff Tracy,  Lady Penelope, Mr hackenbaker.  On the same card.
    Is it possible to have all 3 names on the same card? I am successfully able to enter all this into the Address Book. However, when using the addresses to prepare e-mails I often find that the names get mixed up. ( Apple Mail usually puts the name of the 1st person in the group in front of the e-mail address that I select, rather than the actual name of the person that goes with that e-mail address.)
    Having multiple people from the same organization on the same card seems to make sense for me. Some have advised me that I need to create a separate card for each and every person! Is that true?
    Suggestions appreciated.

    In order for mail to work correctly you will need a seperate card for each individual.

  • Don't understand how iCloud and Photo work

    I make photos with my iPhone... I get 4 different folders on the iPhone (film, streaming, panoramics, video) + recently deleted + other app specific.
    Only STREAMING is copied in my Photo app on my MacMini
    Also they stay on iCloud (again.. only the STREAMING ones).
    Is it possible to set it this way ?
    EVERY PHOTO/VIDEO I shoot PASSES on iCloud to my Photo folder on MacMini and then is DELETED from iPhone and iCloud?
    Second questionWhere are the photos in Photo? I mean.. is there a folder I can open, copy, archive, etc...? Or is it all compacted in a single file?
    Thanks,
    M

    Well, you said it yourself in the explanation of IMAP
    The first image has the "Archive" folder under iCloud, because that is indeed coming from the IMAP folder from iCloud, as you can see the Archived folder in the 2nd and 3rd screenshot, that folder is just there with the icon. So again, you can see that iCloud IMAP'd folder of Archive appearing.
    The structure is the same across all devices, just named differently. The only difference is "drafts" appears as "outbox" in mac mail when sending messages, or typing them up.
    Those extra folders on your iPhone is local data. You can verify this by going to Settings > iCloud > Account > Advanced/Mail > Mailbox Behaviors. You'll notice "On my iPhone" and "on the server" - things that are under On My iPhone, will not be represented anywhere else but the phone.

    Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

    When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

  • How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

    How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

    I think others would be able to help if you describe a little more why you'd like to do this. Given that drop zones are a way of passing images into Motion that you want to manipulate, resizing a drop zone is the equivalent of resizing the image.
    If you're having a problem with an image from Final Cut being too big or too small, select the Drop Zone in the inspector and make sure the Fit parameter is set to 'Fit' - 'Center' will result in images dropped not being scaled to fit the Drop Zone. 'Stretch' will force the dropped image to fill the space defined by the drop zone,
    If the image is already cropped and scaled up in Final Cut Pro, that is the information that Motion gets - you can't scale down the image to see more of the edges that have been cropped off.
    If you want more than one copy of the image passed via the drop zone, use Make Clone Layer from the Object menu.

  • I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone but it only recognizes the first one and only produces the firts one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone

    On IDVD, I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone to create a DVD but it only recognizes the first one I dropped and only produced the first one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone.

    I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

    While it is possible you have a faulty unit I'd agree that the menu system took a step backwards with the itunes store centric take 2.0+ software. I think I'm in the minority here though. Apart from the 2.0+ top level interface being butt ugly and confusing to navigate, it simply isn't as responsive as 1.0/1.1 and I think most of this is to do with displaying a combined sync/stream menu. if you sync stuff try setting 'show only synced items' in the AppleTv device tabs in iTunes and see if it makes the issue go away - easy to revert back.
    Huge libraries (number of files not actual size of the files) can also be problematic given AppleTV's modest hardware specs but that's more exception than the rule.
    With streaming/syncing combined I also think any network deficiencies show up more than they used to.

  • How do I delete content from a drop zone without deleting the drop zone?

    I can't seem to figure this out, and I feel silly about it!  Your help is much appreciated

    Select the drop zone layer and then in the inspector image tab click on the clear button at the bottom.

  • Why all pictures don't show up in the drop zones?

    If I import, for example, 4 pictures in a theme that has three drop zones, only one or two pictures will show up when the loop plays and not in the order I have arranged them in the drop zones. Is there a way to sequence through all 4 pictures in each drop zone? Can for instance the loop be made longer than, in my case 0.28 min (5.0 "Memories" theme)?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

    Len,
    What you mean by "You can only load the same number of images into the number of drop zones and expect the theme to function properly."?
    Do you mean that I must have the same number of images, (for example 4) for each drop zone? Or,maybe, one image in drop zone 1, 2 images in drop zone 2 etc. for the drop zones to work properly?

  • Adding pictures to a theme, but not in the drop zones...

    I don't know if this is a really noob ou really tricky question, but here it goes : )
    I'd like to add a/some picture(s) to a iDVD theme, but not in the drop zones. I'd like my pictures to appear as layers, choose whoch one goes in front, and so on...
    Is there any way to do that?
    Thx, and happy new year ; )

    In that case you would need to prepare the background as a QT movie exactly the way you want to display it as a background movie and then drag and drop that prepared QT file to iDVD.
    I've never done this type of movie in iLife apps alone but I have with FCP & DVD SP which offers these additional video editing options for sizing pip and frames in an existing movie / menu.
    Also check the help Menu for iDVD6 (and iMovie) if you haven't already. I did a search for you and here's what I came up with:
    Changing the background image of a DVD menu
    You can replace the background image in a menu with your own image. Images in menu backgrounds are cropped to fit the standard DVD window size, but the aspect ratio of the original image is preserved. If you want your image to fit the DVD window exactly, first use an image-editing application to resize the image to 640 x 480 for standard video and 854 x 480 for widescreen.
    When you replace a background image, you can also choose to keep the drop zones or remove them completely.
    Here are ways to change the background image:
    Drag a picture file from the Finder or the Media pane to a DVD menu background, outside a drop zone. Before you drop the picture, press the Command key and choose "Replace background" or "Replace background and drop zones" from the contextual menu that appears (shown above). Then release the mouse button.
    Click the Menu button and drag a picture file from the Finder to the background well in the Menu pane. If your theme has drop zones, the drop zones disappear.
    Click the Media button, then click Photos. Drag a photo from your iPhoto library or another folder to your DVD menu. If your theme has drop zones, the drop zones are retained.
    Choose File > Import > Image, locate and select an image, and click Import. If your theme has drop zones, the drop zones are retained.
    To remove a background image and return to the default image for the theme, click the Menu button and drag the image out of the background well (shown above).
    Hope this answers your question/s.
