3 different names/events for 1 project (fcp1 + 2 etc)

I can't seem to fix this.
I have 3 events in FCPX.
I have 4 events in my FCPX folder:
I have one project: Beginner Basics
In FCPX the Beginner Basics project is linked to the event "Basic" - which I believe is the "Beginner Basic" event in Finder since that file is the largest.
But in Finder it says that it has not been edited since aug. 14 2012. But the other 3 events has changes recently.
When I open FCPX I get this message:
All files in the Beginner Basic project is linked. There are no missing files. But that is because I had to do link them manually, because I was tried to change the "Basic" events name to "Beginner Basics". FCPX crashed during these changes. And only made the changes to the Basic event in Finder and not in the program itself. (I think at least).
I am supposed to do backups and to move the project and event for archiving - but I have no clue which event belongs to the Beginner Basics project.
Heelp?

That the two Events have the same "identifier" (database ID, or UUID) means it was manually copied in the Finder. Big no-no.
The ones that have (fcp 1) and (fcp2) at the ends of the name were created inside FCP X by selecting the original and "Duplicating" it.
I'd have to see detials inside each Event to konw for sure, but here is how I'd fix it. Follow these instructions in the user manual about Merging Events to put them all together in one Event, and avoid the confusion.
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#verc1face68
Next, as for backing up, the duplicated database ID issue must be addressed. Here's an article I wrote, approved by Bombich Software, about how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to do backups properly for FCP X specifically.

Has anyone used more than one event for one project?

Hi,
I have an opinion about Final Cut Pro X that hasn't changed since my first few days with it. I waited to see if I would get used to it. But, after a fair amount of time, I still am not comfortable with 'Events' and 'Projects'. The separation of the media and projects creates more problems than solutions with my workflow.
The purpose of it was to add flexibility for both the professionals and consumers using it, but my first impressions are still the same. The new Event and Project system adds complexity to organization and archiving. I wouldn't write this if it wasn't enough of a hindrance for me, that I encounter constantly. I think the new Final Cut Pro X is incredible, but this issue is definitely important to me.
Has anyone out there used more than 1 Event for 1 Project? Some of us create more than 1 Project for an Event, to make different version of a video, or for brainstorming, or to make a part 1 and part 2 of a video, but I've never had more than 1 Event for 1 Project. I don't need to use the media from multiple Events for the same Project. And I've never used it for a reason. I don't think someone will want to use their Hawaii vacation footage for a Denver vacation project, and a Florida vacation project. I think we should bring back the connection between Events and Projects in a meaningful way.
This is a throw back to the older days, but that's not always a bad thing. Let us keep our projects, or timelines, in the Events folder. Make an area above the JPG section, and PNG section, and MOV section, and call it the Projects section. Then we can easily find our Projects and add a new Project every time we need it, and organize our files quickly - without having to keep track of more windows. Final Cut Pro X is all about being more simplified than other video programs, and I think this goes right along with that idea.
Thanks,
- David

My original fear was that FCPX was just going to be iMovie Pro... It so is not!
People use the interface in different ways. I think that's what most of us like about it, it's flexibiity to accommodate different types of workflows. For me, I use the Events browser mostly like I'd be using the Finder. All the imported clips I use are referenced by the hard disks on which they reside. I know where to find them in the Event Browser and I know where to find them in the Finder. I use a lot of stock footage and therefore *reuse* a lot of stock footage from project to project. I'm not going to re-import duplicates into different events because I don't find that the least bit convenient and I do find it a terrible waste of precious HD real estate.
But that's me.
Some people like to load up everything they're going to use in a single project in a single event... I get that. You can command click your way through a bunch of clips, type E and everything is automatically arranged on your storyline in the order you selected the clips. That is *awesome*!! Instant storyline (/timeline.) Furthermore, for those that need to share projects, it's easier to bundle up the events and projects if they're all together (albeit in two different folders) on one disk (— at least they are always at the top level of the drive and easy to find.)
Keeping your Events media in a different location (satellite drives) and keeping your current project on your *fastest* drive is probably the fastest way to edit (particularly if your satellite drives are Firewire or Thunderbolt [peer-to-peer interfaces don't hog system resources].) There is little cross interference in disk accesses that way. So essentially, you can keep FCPX dealing with original clip data that doesn't need to be quite as fast, reading and writing to slower drives on your system, while letting it plow through the heavy work on your fastest access drive (usually your internal HD.)
By no means is FCPX "more simplified". It has a huge amount of power. It has all the best parts of Color, Soundtrack Pro and Motion built in. It allows you to explore *ideas* in real time rather than having to plan for them a week in advance [layout, round-tripping plans to Color, STP and/or Motion for titling or effects.] You can grab and move around elements anywhere on your "palette" with simple mouse moves and an occasional key press. The list goes on. Bottom line, it doesn't matter how you organize your events or your projects. It's all about the finished product. And for me, I can turn that around in about 1/5th the time (not claiming it's great — but I think better results in 20% of the time, on average, than it would have taken in Studio.) [Not a professional video editor -- I'm a graphic designer, and I develop Motion graphics for FCPX to make all "you guys" look better.]

Set different System Prefs for specific projects?

What I need to be able to do is to maintain everything about a client project in one place. We use a different drive for each client, that way everything is kept very orderly and we can easily manage it.
But if I set the system prefs (like where to save render files, capture scratch, etc.) for one project, those settings are saved even when another project is opened and I have to remember to change them or I'll get render files from Client A saved to Client B's drive.
And of course the problem is even worse with multiple projects open.
So, is there any way to say: Save Everything about this project HERE and Everything about this other project over HERE? And not have to manually change system prefs every single time?
Thanks!
G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I simply created three different users for three diffrent projects when specifically requested to meet such odd and onerous and unnecessary (in my view) requirements. That way each project could be assigned its own preferences for such things as targets for scratch etc. I find the FCP file management system more than adequate to quickly keep crucial original files in order without resorting to the log in/out user dance, but its the only thing I could come up with at the time. Maybe someone else has an easy cure.

How to see other events that have clips used in project and not just reference event for a project

In 10.0.9 if you selected a project and then looked at info tab in the inspector you could see the reference event and all events that had used clips in the project. In 10.1 you only see the reference event. So how do you see other events in the library that the project uses clips from?

I see. Yes, that probably should be improved. They removed the function that displayed the used events.
Open the project. Select the library. In the browser in list view, which shows the events in order, select everything. Press right-arrow to open the disclosure triangles. Scroll the list to see what's marked used where. Not great.

Different onMouseOver Event for each row of a report

Hi all,
See
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=41861:1
As you can see in the demo, all employees of a department are shown when you click the detail link for a department. This is done with the help of AJAX technologie to avoid the submit of the page.
My question is: Is there a possibility to show the the employee report for the correct department when I move the mouse over the row of a department. In other words: what I am searching is a possiblity to define the behaviour of a certain row, so that code like
<tr onMouseOver="javascript:getEmps(1)">....</tr>
<tr onMouseOver="javascript:getEmps(2)">....</tr>
is generated.
Thank you in advance
Stephan

Hi,
for this you need to call the PLSQL function upon table rendering, which means that you need a field in the table referencing a managed bean. In the managed bean you can use #{row} and resolve it using a ValueExpression. #{row} gives you access to the current rendered row (this is why you need to do it when the table renders) and thus allows you to call getAttribute(name) to get the values of field 1 - 3. The search field value you should get through the bindings reference (assuming the search form uses ADF). Then you create an operation binding for the executeWithParameters and call operationBindingName.getParamsMap().put(argname, argvalue); on it.
Frank
Ps.: I am concerned about the performance you get and wonder if it isn't possible to create a transient attribute that executes the function and displays the results. As I understand, the search parameters are only to filter the result set, which you still can do

How can I use Family Sharing for Store purchases if I use a different Apple ID for purchases?

A key feature of Apple's iCloud Family Sharing is the ability to share store purchases with invited family members. However, like many people, I use a different Apple ID for iCloud and Store purchases (ironically, primarily for the exact purpose of sharing among family).
Can I use iCloud Family Sharing to share purchases if I use a different Apple ID for Store (iTunes, App Store, etc.) purchases?

Sorry, let me clarify. I have two Apple IDs A and B:
A: Used for iCloud. All my calendar, mail, contacts, and other iCloud features are here. This is the ID I use as "the" iCloud on my iOS devices and OS X machines.
B: Used only for purchases, on all my devices and machines. This is what I used to log into iTunes, or to buy apps for iOS or OS X.
The issue is that the only way (currently) to set up Family Sharing is to invite from an iCloud ID (A, in my case) on an iOS 8 device. That's not the ID (B) I use for purchases. The question is whether there's a way to share those purchases given that I'm configured on all my devices with A for iCloud. (Clearly if I somehow send invitations from B, I can share purchases; but that's not the question.)
It sounds like the answer to that question is 'No'.
If that's the case, how do I invite from B? Do I have to configure an iOS device with B as the iCloud ID? My problem isn't that I want to ("willy nilly") avoid inviting form B; it's that there seems to be no way (certainly no convenient way) to do that.

I'd check my WINS server's registration entries, if they contain an
entry with that NETBIOS name. If the machine with the ip-address
172.20.21.2 is not your WINS server you need to check, what services
etc. are running on that machine. Also look if the domain/workgroup
name, which is used by this machine is correct and identical to all
other machines.

What is SAP name space for different objects.

Hi Guys,
Kindly let me know the SAP name spaces for different objects.
Thanks

hi,
Naming Conventions in ABAP Objects
Global classes and interfaces that you create in the Class Builder are stored in the class library and administered by the R/3 Repository: they therefore have the same namespace as all other Repository objects (database tables, structures, data elements, and so on).
It is therefore necessary to have naming conventions for object types and their components and to use them uniformly within program development.
The following naming convention has been conceived for use within the SAP namespace:
If you do not observe the naming conventions for object types (classes and interfaces), conflicts will occur when the system creates persistent classes, since it will be unable to generate the necessary co-classes.
Namespace for Components
A single namespace within a class is shared by:
All components of the class itself (attributes, methods, events, constructors, interfaces, internal data types in the class, and aliases)
All public and protected components of the superclasses of the class.
Method implementation has a local namespace. The names of the local variables can obscure those of class components.
Naming Convention
The naming convention has been kept as general as possible to avoid adversely influencing the naming of objects.
General Remarks
When you choose names for development objects, you should:
Use English names
Use glossary terms when possible
For example, CL_COMPANY_CODE instead of BUKRS
In compound names, use the underscore character (_) as a separator. Since names are not case-sensitive, this is the only character that you can use to separate names.
Example: CL_COMPANY_CODE, CL_GENERAL_LEDGER_ACCOUNT
Names should describe the action, not the implementation of the action.
Example: PRINT_RECTANGLE, not RECTANGLE_TO_SPOOL
Conventions for Object Types
Class and interface names in the class library belong to the same namespace as data elements, tables, structures, and types. They are maintained centrally in table TADIR.
Class in the class library
CL_<class name>
The class name should be made up of singular nouns.
CL_COMPANY_CODE, CL_GENERAL_LEDGER_ACCOUNT
Interfaces in the class library
IF_<interface name>
The same naming convention applies to interfaces as to classes.
IF_STATUS_MANAGEMANT, IF_CHECKER
Local classes in programs
(recommendation)
LCL_<class name>
The class name should be made up of singular nouns.
LCL_TREE_MANAGEMENT
Local interfaces in programs
(recommendation)
LIF_<interface name>
The sane naming convention applies to interfaces as to classes.
LIF_PRINTER
Recommended naming conventions are not compulsory. However, if you use prefixes for these class and interface names, you should use those listed above.
Conventions for Components
Method name
<method name>
Method names should begin with a verb:
GET_STATUS, CREATE_ORDER, DETERMINE_PRICE
Events
<event name>
Event names should have the form
<noun>_<participle>:
BUTTON_PUSHED, COMPANY_CODE_CHANGED, BUSINESS_PARTNER_PRINTED
Local type definitions within a class
(recommendation)
TY_<type name>
TY_INTERNAL_TYPE, TY_TREE_LIST
Data definitions (variables)
<variable name>
When you name variables within a class (CLASS-DATA or DATA), avoid using verbs at the beginning of the name (to avoid conflicts with method names).
LINE_COUNT, MARK_PRINTED, MARK_CHANGED, STATUS
Data definitions (constants)
(recommendation)
CO_<constant name>
CO_MAX_LINE, CO_DEFAULT_STATUS, CO_DEFAULT_WIDTH, CO_MAX_ROWS
Recommended naming conventions are not compulsory. However, if you use prefixes for these class and interface names, you should use those listed above..
Concrete Method Descriptions
Attribute access
SET_<attribute name>, GET_<attribute name>
Methods that access attributes of any kind should be prefaced with GET_ or SET_.
GET_STATUS, SET_USE_COUNT
Event handler methods
ON_<event name>
Methods that handle events should begin with ON, followed by the name of the event that they handle.
ON_BUTTON_PUSHED, ON_BUSINESS_PARTNER_PRINTED
Methods that perform type conversions
AS_<new type>
AS_STRING, AS_ISOCODE
Methods that return a Boolean value
These methods may not return any exceptions.
Recommendation: Use SPACE and 'X' to represent false and true respectively.
IS_<adjective>
IS_OPEN, IS_EMPTY, IS_ACTIVE
Check methods
CHECK_<objective>
CHECK_AUTHORIZATION, CHECK_PROCESS_DATE
Local Conventions Within Methods
For parameters
The parameters are regarded from the point of view of the method that implements them:
IMPORTING parameters
IM_<parameter name>
EXPORTING parameters
EX_<parameter name>
CHANGING parameters
CH_<parameter name>
RESULT
RE_<result>
Using prefixes is NOT compulsory. However, if you do use them, use those listed above.
For exceptions
The following table contains a series of possible exception names, that can also be used generically (for example, NOT_FOUND could also be used as DATE_NOT_FOUND)
EXCEPTION
Meaning
ACTION_NOT_SUPPORTED
The requested action or function code is not supported.
CANCELLED
If a method uses a dialog to find out what has to be dome (for example, a list of choices), and the user chooses "Cancel", you can set this exception.
EXISTING
A new object that you want to create already exists in the database.
FAILED
The method could not be executed because of the current environment. This exception is intended for cases where the method cannot be executed because of variable system circumstances.
..._FAILED
Part of the method could not be completed because of the current environment. (OPEN_FAILED, CLOSE_FAILED, SELECTION_FAILED, AUTHORIZATION_FAILED)
FOREIGN_LOCK
Data is locked by another user.
INCONSISTENT
Object data in the database is inconsistent.
..._INCONSISTENT
The component data for of an object in the database is inconsistent.
INVALID
The object data entered is incorrect (for example, company code does not exist). Compare NOT_QUALIFIED.
..._INVALID
The component data entered for an object is incorrect. Compare NOT_QUALIFIED.
INTERNAL_ERROR
Last resort. Only use this exception if you cannot be more precise about the nature of the error.
NOT_AUTHORIZED
The user does not have the required authorization.
NOT_CUSTOMIZED
The object requested is not correctly customized.
..._NOT_CUSTOMIZED
The component of the requested object is not correctly customized.
NOT_FOUND
Unable to find the requested object.
..._NOT_FOUND
Unable to find component of the requested object.
NOT_QUALIFIED
The combination of input parameters is insufficient to run the method. Compare INVALID.
..._NOT_QUALIFIED
One parameter of the method is not qualified.
NUMBER_ERROR
Error assigning a number.
SYSTEM_ERROR
This exception is set if the Basis system returns an unexpected error message.

sudheer.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

How can i give 2 different names for the same attribute in querypannelVC

Hi
I have a View criteria and exposing as a query panel.In the VC, we are using one VO attribute instance twice"FullName".We have a requirement of display 2 different names for this attribute in the query panel Ui.Attached the VC screenshot.
Ex:Present in the Query panel Ui fields are displaying like
FullName
FullName
Requirement:
Owner
Assignee
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Thanks for the reply..So are you saying like add the same "FullName" attribute twice with different Alias Names(Owner,Assignee) ?But here we are having the FullName as common and depends upon role we are displaying "Owner" or "Assignee".If i create two instances for same attribute will it not be like redundancy ?

How to keep same database with two different names in SharePoint 2013 for two different applications

Hi All,
I have very strange situation.
I had SP2010 production database(wss_content_contoso) migrated to SP13 few months back to migrate one site collection only while I have 15 site collections stored in this database and created a site contoso.com
Now, I want to migrate same(wss_content_contoso) SP2010 database to SP13 and want to create contoso2.com.
I changed database name from wss_content_contoso to wss_content_contoso2 and assigned newID during mount process.
After this exercise, I don't see any site for contoso2.com and issue seems to be the same database.
My question is!!!!
How I can keep both databases(actually same database with different names) and run both application simultaneously?
Any help appreciated!!
Thank you,

You need to run Backup-SPSite/Restore-SPSite on each Site Collection you want to 'duplicate'. You cannot restore the same Content Database to the same farm as the Site Collections have the same GUID, which is stored globally for the farm.

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

Different zoom levels for different clips in the same project?

Hi
I am making a movie with videos from two different cameras. As a result some of the clips are cut down in size to a small portion of the screen. This can be solved if it is possible to use different zoom levels for different clips in the same project. I have not been able to do this. Is it possible?
kind regards
Soren

You can scale the small clips up to the same size of the larger one... but you will get a quality loss.
Using Motion or Scale to Frame Size commands
Better to scale the large ones down to a Sequence that matches the smaller clip dimensions.

Airport express different names for 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz channels??

I have a airport express router and I recently purchased a smart bluray player. When I try to connect my bluray player to my wireless network it shows both the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels which have the same SSID. I select the 5 GHz channel, connect to it and after connected it shows that I'm connected to the 2.4 GHz channel and my bluray player tells me that it would work better on a 5 GHz network. Is there anyway to give each channel a different name/SSID so that I can definitely only connect to the 5 GHz channel???

Is there anyway to give each channel a different name/SSID so that I can definitely only connect to the 5 GHz channel???
Yes, assuming that you are running the Lion or Mountain Lion operating system on your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utiliity
Click on the AirPort Express icon, then click Edit
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Click the Wireless Options button near the bottom of the window
Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz name and this will assign the same SSID with "5 GHz" added the name.
Click Save, then click Update and allow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart
However.....unless the Blu-Ray player is quite close the AirPort Express, or it has direct line of sight with the AirPort Express, the 2.4 GHz band will likely provide both a stronger and faster signal.
If the Blu-Ray player is connecting at 2.4 GHz now, it is probably thinking that 2.4 GHz is the stronger and also possibly faster signal.
This is because 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, and as a result, the 5 GHz signals are absorbed much more quickly by any obstructions like walls, ceilings, or heavy furniture, etc. in the signal path.
The bottom line....connecting at 5 GHz does not necessarily provide a better connection....but you can give it try to see if you notice any improvement.
If you don't mind spending 4-5 dollars for a good WiFI utility like WiFi Explorer, which will display the actual Signal to Noise ratio of the wireless signal, and you want to go at this a bit more scientifically, post back for more info.

Computer has different name than Itunes for Ipod Touch

I have an Ipod Touch 4th Generation 32gb. I have had no problems with it or with Itunes. My Mom came last Saturday to visit and she needed to charge her Ipod Touch so I hooked it to my computer where I always have a cord and charged it for about 45 minutes or so. I have no problem with my Ipod or with Itunes BUT when I go look at the device now on my computer,when it is connected to USB cord, it show "Marys Ipod" now instead of "Steves Ipod". In Itunes, it is still "Steves Ipod" and I can sync and all but I really want to get rid of "Marys Ipod" off my computer even though when I open it up, it is my ipod, just mislabed. I know because it has my pictures and her's is only 8gb. My Ipad2, is fine when I hook it up to the USB cord, It says "Steves Ipad" but when I hook my USB cord to my ipod touch, it still reads "Marys Ipod". Is this something I should be concerned about or is it not worth the hassle of trying to restore, etc? I have tried to change the name, but Windows won't allow. I do have Windows 7. I have also got the new update on Itunes and the new software(5.0) version.
I am stumped. I have googled this and have searched for over 3 hours today on how to fix this. Ready to bang my head against the wall. I have did a reboot on Ipod, I have restarted the computer. I have not reinstalled anything including Itunes.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I would sure appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Currently Being Moderated Re: Computer has different name than Itunes for Ipod Touch
Jul 22, 2012 12:23 PM (in response to Toploader21120)
I just found the answer to this after hours of searching online. Make sure your iPod is hooked up to your computer & turned on.
Click on "Start" and in the search box type "regedit". This will display a program called "Registry Editor". Open it.
Click on the "Edit" tab and select "Find...". Type "Mary" in the search box and click "Find Next". It will bring up a list of everything that has "Mary" in it. (You may have to click on "Find next" under the "Edit" tab in order to find the associated items that have something to do with both "iPod" and "Mary".) What you need to pay attention to is not the NAME, but the DATA column. For me, the wrong iPod name was listed in 2 places in the data column. The actual names of those 2 items were "FriendlyName" and "Label".
Once you find the associated items that have to do with both the iPod and "Mary", right click on one of them. Select "Modify...". A box will open giving a "Value Name" box and a "Value Data" box. The "Value Data" box should say "Mary's iPod". All you have to do is change it to "Steve's iPod" and click "OK". Repeat the "Modify..." and renaming of the "Value Data" steps for every item that says something about "Mary's iPod".
Close the Registry Editor. Open "my computer" and see that it changed the name of your iPod back to "Steve's iPod".
Best Answer So far.....it really works...Thanks a million
