A third effect besides aladin and scale?

Hi there. I was just told that there is a hiden third "diminish" (I dont know what the correct word is) window effect. In the dock preferences there are only shown the aladdin and sclae effect.
¿Does anyone know if this true? ¿How can i activate this third effect? Thanks.

I found this discussion:
"That effect has been in OSX for a while now, they just didn't put it in the menu for minimise effects... I guess they just didn't like it.
Anyhow, to enable it get hold of Cocktail (a good system maintenance app) and you can choose from all three minimise effects there - Genie, Scale and [apple don't allow this word, but it begins with an 's' and rhymes with tuck] In.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

Please help ! Why can I not " move and scale my pictures as wallpaper on my iPad mini ? I can do it on my ipad and iPhone. No one seems to be able to help. I am not alone in this but nothing is being done to solve this problem. I have googled and there is a lot of discussion on this, many updates have happened , but still I am unable to do it. Very frustrating !

Do you have the parallax effect (the 3D effect) 'on' (Settings > General > Accessibillity > Reduce Motion 'off') ? If you do then you will either need to create higher resolution versions of your images, or turn that effect 'off'.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :
When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.

Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

How can I move and scale my photos

How can I move and scale my photos so that I can use them for wallpaper? After update, I'm no longer able to do this as much as I need to. They just pop back to their original size or larger.

You will either need to turn Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion 'on', or create a higher resolution versions of your images

Try turning off the parallax effect. This will shrink the images.

HT1933 Why can't I move and scale pictures for the back ground

I try to make my personal pics the screen saver and it doesn't let me move and scale it so it fits the screen.... The old system worked but this one doesn't. It gives me the option but I can't do anything.

You will need to either turn motion off or use a higher resolutio image - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :

As Rick says, you can get even better results for many videos (though at the expense of longer processing time) using the new Detail-Preserving Upscale effect added in After Effects CC (12.1):

Changing the color of a shape as it moves and scales?

I have a symbol of a shape with a gradient drawn in Illustrator that I copied-and-pasted into Flash CS5. I created a simple motion tween by making the symbol move around the stage and scale. How do I now change the color of the symbol as it is moving on stage?
Thanks.

the advice given so far is sound, but by adding adjust color filter or the color effect > tint, you will be changing your gradient to a solid color, not another gradient.
so for instance if your gradient is a black to red linear grandient and you want it to tween to a black to blue gradient, you have to break apart your symbol, remove the existing tween and perform a shape tween.
a shape tween can tween the gradient that fills the shape as well as the shapes position and scale.

Animation Issue - Move and Scale

I am working with InDesign CS5 and am animating a set of images next to text. I am using the Move and Scale preset and modifying the motion path. The picture is set to enlarge 300% and move about an inch diagonally upon mouseover. When the picture enlarges, it overlaps with text and other images in the document. Sometimes, the image enlarges and is "on top" of the other images and text so that none of the picture is obscured. However, most of the time, the picture enlarges and is "behind" the text or other images, thus obscuring the image. How do I make it so that the image is always "on top" when it enlarges?
Thanks!

If you currently have motion 'on' then from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :

Can you create a larger resolution version of the image that you want to use ?

Move and Scale Action

I have text moving from one place to another using the Move Action.
The text itself is too small to really be able to read, so I'm looking for the best way to increase the size of the text (not necessarily scale as that will give me fuzzy text) from, lets say 5px to 20px, where it reaches 20px by the middle of the move, and then reduces back down to 5px by the end of its journey. A pause in the middle may be nice too, but that's probably asking to much.
In effect I'm trying to show
Where the text is coming from
What the text is
Where the text is going to
Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

Welcome to the forum, and to the Mac!
Combining actions and builds is pretty simple, and is done in the Build Order flyout drawer in the Action Inspector palette. Create your move action, then click the small "Add Action" plus sign at the bottom of the Action palette to add your scale action. When you add this action, the Build Order drawer will appear, listing the actions/builds for the slide. In order to combine actions/builds, you simply need to select an action and in the bottom "Start Build" drop-down menu choose "Automatically with build #" (where "#" is the prior build). After doing this, your object will move and scale simultaneously (and could also rotate and change opacity, if you wanted, as all these actions can be put together in any combination using this technique).
This procedure is also how you get multiple objects to build in or out together. Playing with the time delay for the build (just below the "Start Build" dropdown) can also produce some very nice effects.

Any way to add and scale audio tracks to source video?

Got audio tracks timed at 25 fps that I'm trying to conform to 23.98 video source. In QT, I could add to selection and scale, but need a little more precision so trying to do this in FCP. Doesn't seem to be a way outside of exporting to Motion, which is pretty ardous. I've tried playing with audio speed (changed speed percentage while scaling attributes), and it kind of works but isn't consistent across the entire video. Is there a better way to do this in FCP?

You can conform the video material to 25fps using cinematools.
You can also adjust the duration of audio in soundtrack pro without effecting pitch. Hope one of these helps.

"paste" "add to movie" and "add- and scale" detail somewhere?

QT Pro has spartan instructions for the above edit commands, specifically regarding audio tracks in movies. I haven't found good explanations. Has anyone?
Thanks

Not really. However, from practical experience, the "add to movie" simply adds the content to your file at the current playhead point and retains its original duration. On the other hand, "add and scale" adds the new content to the movie and scales the duration to match your "paste" selection. For instance, if you paste a 1 minute video track to a 30 second audio file, the video will be scaled to play at twice its original frame rate in order to match the audio tracks original playback duration. This is a quick way to create fast-motion or slow-motion effects using QT 7 Pro.

Ease into position and scale not working.

Basically, I have a video clip.
I want it to start off filling the screen, and then have it 'zoom' out and move to the left.
I, however, want this to happen over a period of about 1.5 seconds to make it look nice.
I've tried using keyframes under the Position and Scale on the Motion effect control panel, but it never works.
Basically, I set a keyframe at the beginning of the clip to the full screen position & scale, then I set a keyframe at where I want it to start zooming, keeping it the same. Then, after about 1.5 seconds, I set a keyframe to the settings I want it to be at, then at the very end I set another keyframe, keeping the settings the same.
But after I render everything, the clip doesnt fill the screen at all, it just starts directly with the clip at the left.
I dont get it.
Anybody know whats going on?

Best guess is operator error. Check your keyframes.

Slow desktop effects: Nvidia, Firefox and Thunderbird

This has been bugging me for years and after lots of search I couldn't find a solution. When compositing is enabled either using Compiz or Gnome Shell or even XFWM, desktop effects become slow and choppy when Firefox or Thunderbird are the active windows. This is true also when there's another window is active on top of a visible FF or TB. However the problem happens only when either FF or TB is maximised --no problem when they are not maximised. By “desktop effects” I mean Compiz effects like switching to another workspace using the "desktop wall" or the "Scale addon" or going to "overview" mode in Gnome Shell.
Right now I'm using the proprietary driver version 295.49 running on a 64bit 3.3.6 kernel on a Thinkpad T61. The problem persists across XFCE+Compiz (my current DE), Gnome Shell and KDE sessions.
I'd really appreciate any hint/tip on how to solve this. TIA,
Bahman
PS: My card is a "Quadro NVS 140m" and I've set the PowerMizer to always run at "Prefer Maximum Performance" mode.
