A text crawl plug-in with darkened background that can be placed anywhere on screen?

Can you recommend a text crawl plug-in for FCPX that will allow me to place crawling text at any height on-screen, while having a darkened, translucent band behind the text? The best would be if the edges of the translucent band could be soft-focus. Thank you! Duncan

BenB,
Thanks a million for putting me in touch with FCP.co's site. I found an excellent crawl from Alex at Alex4D. When I had trouble loading it into FCPX, he sent a number of helpful emails with suggestions that eventually got it up and running. So thanks again!

Exporting text with a semi transparent background that can be changed in PS or PP?

I'm creating a logo with a semi transparent background that I want to place on top of photos in Photoshop and videos in Premiere.
1. I do not see a transparent option when exporting as a .tiff. Is transparent .png my only option from AI?
2. I will need different amounts of transparency for the background depending on the image or video it is being placed on. Is there a way to export this and still have control in Photoshop or Premiere of the amount of transparency to apply towards the background?
Thanks!

1. So you are suggesting to just copy from AI and paste into PS?
2. Since the logo is text and the background is a rectangular shape, I need to make sure that I can lower the opacity in PS or PP independently of the text. I will have to do a test later, I do not have the file on this computer.
Thanks.

Is there a way to build an App with CS5.5 that can run in older iPods

Hello
Does anybody know if there is a way to build an app with flash CS5.5 that can run in older iPods?, just like with CS5?
Each IPA I build with CS5.5 cannot be installed in my iPod 8GB with iOS 4.2 and before with CS5 I could install all the IPAs there and test.
The lack of support to iPod 8GB would be limitating for the market and sales...
Is there some setting to build IPA to older iPods?
Thanks

AIR 2.7 release notes:
AIR runs on "iPodTouch 4th generation iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4iPad".
But:
AIR 2.7 runs on iPod Touch 3rd Generation, too - but only on the 32GB and 64GB models. The 8GB model is in fact only an older 2nd gen iPod Touch.
We tested this and we even have some apps in the app store running on the iPod Touch 3rd gen.

Creating fillable forms with Live Cycle that can be emailed, saved, printed, etc. by anyone!

So I started using livecycle because the forms one can make are astounding, its a great program except for sending the forms out to be filled in especially to those only with reader. I've looked over a lot of past discussions and the answers seemed too complicated. Here is a workaround for not so computer savy folks like myself.
First, create your form, use everything the software has to offer to make your form exactly like you want and yes you can use the "submit by email button" that's what it's for.
Second, once the form is complete one seemingly complicated step to fix the "attach as pdf instead of xml" if your form keeps attaching as "xml" if it already attaches as "pdf" then skip the rest of the "second step"
     go to the top and click the "view" menu, then select "xml source"
     then go back to top and click the "edit" menu then select "find"
     type "xml" without the quotations and keep clicking "find next" until you see the "submit" line (eg. <submit format="xml")
     change the "xml" to "pdf"then go back to the "design view column" if you get a "parts of this or that cannot be whatever" message just click ok or ignore
Third, assumming you used the "submit by email" button like you should be the find that button and click the center somewhere, too the right a "field" box comes up
     enter your own email address, you can enter an stock email subject to or leave it blank
     also, a bit further down it says "presence" then "visible" I like to change "visible" to "visible (screen only)" this way it does not show on the printed version. That is one of the things i like the most about this program, you can put text boxes, signature boxes, any kind of
          box and make it visible, visible only on print, only on screen, etc. you just have to play around. It's nice to put a large text box with instructions for how the person should fill out and what to do that helps them and doesn't show up on print.
Ok, the above is a lot of words but if you print it out and follow step by step you'll see how easy it is and after a couple runs you won't have to look at your cheat sheet again.
Fourth, So, it was easy to figure out how to make a form the frustrating part was sending it out to be filled in save, printed whatever then sent back to me (now you). the problem is, the form has to be distributed to be approved so to speak. If it is just for one person that is no big
     deal, just first click "file" "save as" give it a name it reverts into adobe pro and asks how you would like to distribute, follow the instructions you send it to whomever you like they fill it out and submit it back because your email address is linked to the "submit as
     email" button. But what if its just a form you want on the company share drive anyone can open fill out, save, send to you or send to someone else, that's where it's tricky.
Fifth, Distributing to yourself so you can approve the form for world wide dissemination.
     Same procedure as above for the single recipient but instead of sending to someone else you send it back to yourself by entering your own email address again when it asks "how would you like to distribute your form--same as above"
     click "send now via email" enter your address they will return it to (but it's not they this time its really yourself)...follow the instructions, specifiy a generic folder that will collect data (you can delete later, you don't have to collect data unless you want)
     put in your email address as the recipient. change the stock email subject and message if you'd like, then click done, it will email you the form. close out the live cycle and adobe programs and go to your inbox (may take a min)
Sixth, open your attachment.(no remember you submitted the form to yourself but think of yourself as someone else like a customer) when the form is open you can enter stock fields if you like or do nothing...click the submit by email button, follow the instructions and s
     send it back to yourself again (don't get confused...it's really you as the customer sending back to yourself as the owner of the form) if you are a criminal think of it as like "laundering money through a bank" you are laundering the form through your own email system
     close out the form and go to your inbox again an open the returned form. now when you open it there is something new. there is a box that says "this file is a completed form (even though you didn't enter any data---it's a laundered form now) and leave it on the
     "add to existing data set" which is the one you created earlier in the generic folder....click "ok", now the form changes once again, there is a new look to the top, don't worry about it just go to the top right of the form and click on "options" then "save file as" give it
     a name again and remember where you saved it to. then close adobe and say yes when it asks you if "you want to save changes to your data set"....say yes!!
7th, forget the data set, no longer is important...find the form you saved and open it. go to the top and click the "advanced" button then "enable user rights in adobe reader" then click "save now" this is the final form so name it appropriately and place it where you want
     people to find it, they can now open, fill out, print, save as, email, whatever. The only downside is if they use the submit by email it automatically defaults to your email but when their email client opens they can delete your address and put someone else if they want.
thats it...lots of words but it really is easy after you do it a couple of time. the final downside, if the final form works but you decide to change anything on it with LiveCycle, you have to go back through all the steps or it will tell whoever opens it in reader that the original
     has change and they cannot do anything with it, but it's ok, make your changes or improvement, by now you are an expert at laundering live cycle forms, take you 5 min, no worries!
Happy Laundering!!

Can I add forms or text boxes to a pdf in Acrobat that can then be edited in Reader?

Hi,
I'm trying to add forms to a pre-existing pdf in Acrobat which can be saved then filled with text in Adobe Reader.
So far, I've managed to add two forms to my document in Acrobat, but when I enter text into one, it automatically copies into the other.
Can anyone tell me if i'm going about this the right way or where i'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

To prevent the automatic copying of the field values, just rename the fields so they are not the same. Any fields with the same name will have the same value.
Note that if the form needs to be saved by Reader users after they fill it in, you will have to Reader-enable the document, unless all of your users will have Reader 11. Do this in Acrobat 11 by selecting (while not in Form editing mode): File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

KMAT with standard price that can be purchased or assembled

Hello Experts!
I have a question and doubt regarding configurable (KMAT) with standard price.
We have the material XXX that is a KMAT/configurable that is assembled. The MBSS has the corresponding amount of assembly - it is OK.
The same material XXX can be also configurable and purchased from other external supplier. So, it is generated the purchase order. After MIGO and MIRO, the amount posted at MBBS is 0,01 (the amount recorded at material master data) instead the amount of purchasing.
Is it possible having the purchasing amount at MBBS when we buy the KMAT like we have when the KMAT is assembled?
My best regards!
Cheers@!

Booting up with 0 brightness that can't be changed

I have a late 2010 MacBook Air 11" with Windows 7 / Mac OS X dual boot.
Windows 7 has been working great for a couple of weeks now, but this morning after Windows resumed I was presented with a blank screen (not backlit). I can see the resume animation fine, it's just once it actually goes to the desktop that the screen turns off.
The volume and brightness keys no longer work (with or without pressing the Fn key).
I may have hibernated the laptop with 0 brightness and it is now stuck in that state. I have tried rebooting with no luck. Mac OS and Windows 7 safe mode both work fine.
I tried logging into safe mode and re-installing bootcamp, but it gives me a bluescreen the moment i run setup.exe I also tried uninstalling bootcamp but windows tells me that the installation manager wasn't installed properly.
Is there a config file I can delete or some way to force it to reset the screen brightness from within safe mode? I'm really stuck!

this happened to me last night. i panicked at first but then realized the screen is still there, just not backlit. the trick is to get a very bright light source (i held mine under a bright lamp) and you can move the cursor to the bottom right of the screen and hopefully you'll see your mouse cursor moving around there. then single click on the power icon and select adjust screen brightness. from there you should be able to move the slider back to where you need it. hope this helps. also hoping Apple develops bootcamp drivers to support function key operations (brightness, volume, etc) soon.

How do I recover data from my macbook pro with a disk that can't be repaired?

I'm in need of a data recovery solution. My Macbook pro (17") running OS X Mountain Lion won't boot and is stuck on the gray startup screen with the apple icon and spinning gear and disk utility states "Error: Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files." Unfortunately, I don't have a back up and don't know how to access or back up the data on my drive. Mounting it to another computer as an external drive via firewire did not work. Does anyone know of any solutions to extract the data from my macbook pro hard drive before I reformat it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there
I really am sorry about your problem. I have opened up my help centre and it too states '[...]back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall OS X, and then restore your backed-up data'. It then says: If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced.
I just noticed it says reinstall OS X. If it says this then this indicates a rather serious computing problem.
Help centre also states: If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. [The next step is the following] Check each file in the list of affected files. [added by me]
A damage disk causes files to be corrupted. Also you can repair a disk by deleting corrupt files (i.e. one can still use a damaged disk providing it has been repaired). Disk Utility is able to help to repair corruption problems but not if your program files have become corrupted due to large-scale damaged disk.
I understand why you want to connect to another hard disk because you want to extract your files and I would probably do the same. I am on a 13-inch Macbook Pro trying to solve your problem.

How to create an Apple ID with a password that can't be retrieved or changed by user?

Wondered if anyone knew if it's possible to create a hidden Apple ID where the password cannot be changed or retrieved on an iPhone?
Thanks so much!

You cannot retrieve the Apple ID password on an iPhone, unless it's saved into a Note or something. Nowhere on an iPhone can you see the Apple ID password. Only exception to this is (possibly) if you've logged into an Apple website with your Apple ID via Safari, and Safari saves the password, if you request it, and you can look at the saved passwords in Settings > Safari.

Is it possible to create a page with a signature, that can be then applied to other pages?

I want to know if I can create a page, with a place for an ink signature, and that signature can be then copied onto other pages within the pdf where the same person's signature is needed.

I would like to invite you to take a look at my Nugget on Action Engines.
Since you have a data value that must be available for live updates in more than one place in the code, an Action Engine will provide a reliable method to share that value. You will update the Action Engine any time the control changes. All other function that require that information can read the the value form the Action Engine.
That method has been in use since LV version 2 and provided the AE is implemented correctly (see Nugget) it gives good performance and helps keep code modular.
I hope that help,
Ben

How to make a custom agent with dynamic properties that can be changed with OMS

I have made a custom agent where old documents will be purged. We are doing this with a parameter purgeDate. Now we do this from the Oracle9IfsManager.
So if we want a new date, we have to unload and load the server to use the new date.
I see that some agents can be changed from the OMS. Than they use the new settings after restart.
Who can I do this?

As an FYI: I just solved the problem by going the "low road." I'll be a bit laborious in case someone else wants a solution at a later date (I know I Googled the topic and found nothing). I experimented by simply:
Opening a new email message
Selecting my custom template
Copying the custom signature (Select All)
Opening another new email message
Selecting Edit on the Signature pulldown menu
Hitting the plus symbol to create/add a new signature in the pane
Pasting into the new signature
Naming it
Selecting "Choose signature" at the bottom of the signatures pane
And violà!!
It now appears as a possible selection *and* as the default.
Better yet - it is now my default and will work as a reply to an email.
I think I got it all right in the list above.
OK, granted, this is a pretty simply signature - a list of my website, SoundCloud, twitter etc with those names in bold and a graphic of my color logo - but... it works! YMMV.
Give it to Apple to make it so simple that any fool could do it (that would be me), you wouldn't need a "specialized" app, and - of course - there wouldn't even be instructions on how to do it!
Best,
Joel

I appears on the screen when you turn a folder with question mark that can not do

Finder with question mark

Shut down your Mac by holding down the power button until the screen goes black.
Then startup while holding down the Option key.
if the disk is ok, at some point you should see the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then restart.
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

What to do with G5 iMac that can't boot

I have a G5 iMac running MacOS 10.5.8, with 1.5GB of RAM. When I turned on the iMac after one week of its being powered down (via Shut Down), it did not reboot, stopping part of the way through the boot sequence. I have since run the Apple Hardware Tests (on the original MacOS 10.4) install DVD, and all hardware tests passed. The iMac came with 10.4 and has since been updated to 10.5.8. I also ran applejack, the hardware tests from DiskWarrior (loaded on the iMac) and TechTool Deluxe, and the iMac passed all hardware tests. However, I can only boot up the iMac in Safe Boot mode. I have tried to boot up from DiskWarrior but get a spinning ball. I have been backing up the iMac with a LaCie external hard drive controlled by Time Machine.
Can I run Restore from Backup from my 10.4 install disk (does that capability exist in 10.4)?
What do you recommend as a way to clean up the problem that is limiting my ability to do a normal start?

Appologies ... I wasn't aware of the 'answering' of posts. (I can now see that stars and other symbols have meaning and noticed the wording at the top of the post).
As there was no response to your sugguestion I assumed that the problem persisted... and it seemed to me to be a suitable place to ask a 'what if that doesn't work' question.
I have previously posted about my problem but didn't really get anywhere (although I have tried a number of things). I have a back injury at the moment that unfortunately regularly limits my mobility and my ability to use a computer... therefore the momentum of my previous post on the subject was lost.
