2 Questions on Timeline in PS

Hoping someone can help me out here:
1. What is the vertical blue-shaded bar below one of the clips on the timeline, in the image below? I have not made any changes to position, opacity, style etc.
2. Sometimes I can see little blue specks in a horizontal line just below the time mark numbers. Thety are not permanent and come and go while I am editing. Any ideas what they mean?
Thanks in advance!

Followup to your posts:
For the rows, columns, etc in the structure, I could easily see those key figures and characteristics with Variable restrictions. It is not so obvious when it comes to the RKF, calculated key figure, etc. Is there an easier way locating such an object other than going through all the restricted key figure, calculated key figures (looking through the various formulas), etc? This will take forever.
Also, under the rows, char, etc, I could also see variables based on the icons but now, searching through formulas, etc in RKF, calculated key figures, it is becoming tough. Any way to identify a variable in a formula other than knowing the variable complete name?
The variables are: Plant to, Business Area hierarchy, Valuation class hierarchy and movement Type
Thanks

Question about timeline navigation and the display list-

I’ve got a movieclip called “rotatorProxy” that spans the entire timeline. I’ve got nav buttons that jump to various frames on that timeline. I need to get the display depth of rotatorProxy each time the nav buttons move the playhead. The AS3 code is easy enough:
var zIndex:int = this.getChildIndex(getChildByName("rotatorProxy")) ;
my problem is where to put it. If I put this code in any script that executes in the target frame, it works, but only if I hit the nav buttons slowly. If I bang on a single nav button rapidly, getChildByName("rotatorProxy”) can return null. I don’t know much about how the display list works but I assume the display list is rebuilt after every jump and the frame scripts are executing asynchronously, so it’s possible my getChildByName call is executed before the display list is complete. Is there an event or some other handle that would allow me to call my code before the frame is rendered but after the display list is complete?

Wow, thanks for the fast response...
“if rotatorProxy exists in all frames, it should never return null.”
That’s what I thought, but not what I’m seeing, rapidly jumping around on the timeline seems to confuse the player and it temporarily looses track of rotatorProxy.
You can sort of see it in action here: http://www.appliedcd.com/newACT/act.html
The zIndex is used to establish the depth of the rotating screens which have been added to the display list via AS. If you bang on the nav buttons quickly you’ll see the stacking order screw up, if you had been in the development environment you’d see the null error thrown.
I’ll see if I can use the render event to sort this out. I know testing in the frame after the jump will work, but it’s cleaner if I can establish the proper stacking order before the first jump frame is rendered.

Question about timeline window

I have just downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 and when I go to the Timeline window, it defaults to video animation. I don't want that. I want frame animation. How do I make it switch?

Your code is the colorful stuff, not the grey stuff. The lower the colorful stuff is under the bar, the better your code is running. Your code looks good here.
You are running at 31% of your budget 25ms per frame (it says so in the Summary panel). 25 ms is 1000ms/40fps.
The red line represents the desired SWF frame rate. This is usually set when you create the SWF file in FlashPro, FlashBuilder, or other tools. It can also be set in directly in ActionScript code. Since yours is at 40, you must have already set it somewhere.
You need to look at the grey bars. Grey represents time waiting for the next frame, not the time spent running your frame. Grey is good. If you don't see any grey below the red line, your code is taking too long to run in that frame. The grey bars are showing you the actual intervals between each frame. In your case these are alternating above and below the line. If you select a range of frames, you will find that the average is right at 40, but each individual frame time will be more or less. The flash player has an internal algorithm to average these intervals to make your desired rate. The player prefers rates that are divide evenly into 60, like 60, 30 or 15. If you choose other rates, it will adjust the frames so that they fit into this pattern. So you are seeing alterating frames which average nicely to 40fps. This is normal player behavior. it does this so that multiple flash sessions don't put too much demand on the CPU by only waking up in reliable intervals.

Question about timeline please!

ok i am just getting to grips with FCE HD, and i just was trying out a few ideas in the timeline, but rather than messing up stuff, is there any way of saving my timeline clips to the bin etc?
what i mean is, say for e.g i have 10 clips in the timeline, with some rendered key frames, transitions etc, but i want to move that whole sequence so its safe, can i save it as a masterclip or something similar please?
this may sound confusing, but i am trying to explain it as best as i can! so apologies for that

ahh ok thanks!!
simple as that eh!!
great stuff and thanks again!!

Question about timeline...

I'm extremely new to the Dreamweaver software, but all of the
support information I've found on the web doesn't really provide
support for one specific task I've been having issues with. Much
thanks to any and all who can assist:
I want to add a 1000x300 div on my site's front page with an
image of the same size. I want to have that image dissolve into
another after a five seconds, and then another and then a fourth,
until it loops fully around to the first image with approximately
five second intervals between each. Seems simple enough, but either
I'm too ignorant or not well-learned enough to figure out what
steps to take to make that happen - particularly since I'm not very
familiar with flash.
Can anyone offer some steps or links to tutorials -- heck,
even terminology of what to search would be helpful. I have books
on how to make animations, but they don't really discuss tweening,
dissolving and layers, as much as they discuss actively moving an
object around through an ap-div and recording it with timeline.
Again, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Multiple images sized 1000x300? You better your site visitors
have the
patience of Job. Most people are unlikely to be there when
the second image
appears, let alone the 4th.

2 questions - lost timeline + streamclip question

First off, everything was fine. New to this, but messing around with FCP 4.5. Suddenly, no matter how many times I close and re-open, I can't see the canvas or timeline. Double-clicked the sequence. Nothing. (What's the difference between a clip and a sequence, by the way?) I go to "Window" and "canvas" and "timeline" are grayed out. Crazy....
Also, I've got mpeg Streamclip Beta, but don't have the option to output to ProRes...?
Thanks for the help!

You need to spend a little time learning the application.
A sequence is what you edit in and appears in the timeline window. A clip when opened from the browser appears in the viewer. The sequence icon has two horizontal yellows bars on it. Do you have one of those in the browser? If you double click on one the timeline window will open.
Also, when double-clicking on an empty sequence, it says "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
This does not appear when you open a sequence, but when you open a clip in a codec you don't have access to, like ProRes, which is not available with the version you're using. ProRes comes with FCP6 or later. If you install that application the ProRes codec will be available in MPEG Streamclip.

Captive 3 - Pausing on question slide?

Hi there,
Hopefully you can help. The problem I have now is that I've
got a series of questions, but there appears no way to 'pause' the
slide on a question - meaning that if the user doesn't answer
within a certain time it just flips to the next question! (or all
the text disappears)
There appears no way that I can add a 'pause' on a question
slide timeline (yet curiously, some of them appear to have exactly
that!).
Now, I don't want to make each slide 10 minutes long (which
is an inelegant option, I guess) I just want the slide to pause
until the user selects an answer (like a few random ones actually
appear to do!).
Any suggestions? Why do some wait until the user provides and
answer, yet others just move onto the next slide if the user
doesn't answer within a certain amount of time?
Any help, as always, gratefully received.

Hello,
When you are looking at the timeline, the bottom layer will
be the slide number. You will see something like "Slide 1 ||
(1.5s)" The || indicates where the slide will pause. You can put
your mouse pointer over it and adjust where and when the slide will
pause.
With regard to question slides, there should be no need to
modify this. In your case, you may have accidentally set the pause
to occur at 0.1 seconds, and that will result in questions skipping
through without pausing.
Good luck
Doug

Timeline Markers From PP to AE and Other Questions

I find no instructions to import timeline markers along with Premiere sequences. Is it possible?
I'm still very new to AE and I am confusing myself quite easily going back and forth between the programs. What is the usual practice if i want to replace parts of original footage with segments created in AE?
Should I import the Premiere sequence and work on the segments in AE and create movie from there OR create the composition in AE and import into the Premiere project? In other words, once I import or export from one program to another, do I abandon the original project?
I ask because i am ending up with AE comps on my Premiere timeline as well as Premiere sequences in AE timelines.
I hope that doesn't sound too dumb

No, that doesn't sound too dumb. There are a lot of options to figure out. See "Working with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects" for an overview.
The reason that there are a lot of options is that each of them is good for different things.
That means that we can't really answer your question without knowing exactly what you're trying to accomplish.
I suggest trying the various methods described int he document that I linked to and getting back to us when you have a specific piece of your work that you can't figure out how to do.

A few magnetic timeline questions.

I've gone back 10 pages and not found these topics. So a few questions.
1) When I delete a clip a gap is left. One should have the option of Ripple-delete AND Non-ripple-delete. Is there a Ripple-delete> How does one SIMPLY delete the gap?
2) Even in TRIM mode, somtimes a trim doesn't ripple. Bug?
3) Although there are no tracks -- below the string of clips -- there is a an odd set of "shadow clips" that match the clips above. What are these?
4) When clips are deleted, these "shadow clips" remain but no longer exactly below the actual clips. What's going on?
5) When draging clips, they'll pop up or down "tracks." What's going on?

"Do yourself a favour and actully take a little time to learn how to use it before you criticise it."
Having written a book on iMovie I certainly agree with learning an application.
BUT, after 20 years of using almost every NLE -- it seems crazy that simply sending a clip to a timeline and deleteing a clip from a timeline would -- given it's Apple software -- not be intutive!
Frankly, watching a tutorial seems overkill when you were able to point me the right direction with a few words, "OK. None of your clips are on a storyline."
Perhaps what's needed is TIP in Apple's PDF for those who come from iMovie and have zero reason to bother with stories and magnets. TIP:
1) Click Append to send to Timeline after setting IN and OUT on a clip in the Event Browser.
2) Press delete to remove a clip with ripple.
3) Press forward-delete to delete leaving a gap.
4) Drag a video-only or audio-only clip, after setting IN and OUT on a clip in the Event Browser, above or below an AV clip to create an "insert."
5) Drag edges to trim -- which oddly works in both A and T modes.
For me everything else about FCP X seems intuitive -- although I have not yet found a way to place a clip at a TIME so it doesn't move. In other words stick to a spot. Gee, isn't that what tracks are for.
So now that FCP X is mostly working for me I'm happy. But, iMovie is still faster at: Rotate clip in Event Browser; place clip as Cutaway, PIP, etc.; apply Ken Burns effect. For ME speed and ease is what makes an NLE "superior." When I want power I use Media Compser or FCP.
Thank you for your help!

New iMovie - A few questions (fav/reject, timeline)

Have some questions on the new iMovie v 10:
1. Is the "new" clip wrapping "vertical" timeline view gone? I actually liked this as opposed the the traditional horizontal timeline. Now all I see is the traditional horizontal timeline.
2. The Favorite and Reject buttons appear to be gone. I have to right-click and then select "favorite" or "reject" . This has gone from one click to two...And I don't feel that I have gained this space in the UI. Can I get fav and reject buttons back?

1- View>Wrapping Timeline
2- Fav/Reject specific buttons are gone but can be accessed with a control click. Which will also show you the Keyboard Shortcuts for those options.

Project Management Question - timelines for Production system deployment

Hi
I need an expert advice on setting up timelines for establishing an Oracle Apps Production environment. We are implementing Oracle HR & Payroll at an organization.
Our system architecture is a 2-node application tier and 2-node DB tier (RAC). RAC is configured by another party and we only have to prepare the application tier (2 nodes)
We would be installing Oracle Apps R11i (11.5.10) with jserv load balancing on the 2-nodes
Can anyone suggest how much time this should take to install/configure & patching of the application tier (on 2 nodes)?
Regards
Saira

Premiere Pro 5.5 timeline timecode question

Does Premiere Pro 5.5 output TC on HD-SDI when using Kona 3. There have been reports by users that when recording the HD-SDI output (like to a Ki Pro Mini) that they are not seeing any Timeline Timcode coming out the spigot. Any Adobe folks or others know if this is true of false?

As a preemptory response...yes I am in touch with AJA engineers as well to try and get an answer to this question

Question about the timeline.

Hi,
i realise a little animation with Edge animate, and i ask me:
how realise a controll of the timeline like this site:
http://www.rleonardi.com/interactive-resume/
Thanks !

Thank you, i check this.
A other question..
In this animation, he controls with the scroll or with the arrows, but at each moment, the animation continue (when the skills appears for example).
How did he do that ?

Easy movie clip / timeline question... please help.

This is a pretty simple question about something I just cant
figure out.
I have a movie with 2 frames. On the frist frame are two
buttons. On the second frame is a movie clip. In the movie clip are
two labeled frames, "ball" and "box" for two parts of an animation.
One part plays a ball bouncing. The other plays a box rotating.
What I want to happen is when you click the ball button it plays
the movie clip and starts on ball. When you click the box button it
plays the movie clip and starts on box. The code for the buttons is
simple:
boxButton.onRelease = function ()
anim_mc.gotoAndPlay("box");
ballButton.onRelease = function ()
anim_mc.gotoAndPlay("ball");
The movie works fine as long as the movie clip and the
buttons are on the same frame, frame 1.
But if I move the movie clip to frame 2 it does not work.
Why!!!??? How do I point the button to play the movie clip on frame
2?
It will work if I just send the button to gotoAndPlay("2");
obviously, but what if I want to target specific frames?

I tried this like you said:
boxButton.onRelease = function ()
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
zoom_mc.gotoAndPlay("box");
Thinking it would go to frame 2, then play the movie clip
starting on frame "box" within the movie clip. But it doesnt. Of
course, it plays frame 2, and the movie clip plays, but only on
frame 1 of the movie clip, it does not go to "box" which is in the
middle of the timeline of that movie clip.
I guess there is no way to do this?
Accessing labeled frames within a movie clip from a buttion
on the main timeline requires that the button be on the same frame?
This seems strange.. I guess.....
