Add Mouse - Cannt move start point

Captivate v5.5
A work colleague using v5.5 is unable to move the start point of the mouse pointer trail they add to a slide using Insert/Standard Object/Mouse or the insert mouse tool bar.
They can move the pointer end to place they want it to finish but unable to grab and drop the start point and place it where they want the mouse to start from.
I have tried it on my v5.5 and it works OK for me.
Any ideas please as to what she needs to do - or why this might be ?
Noel

Hi Noel,
If you are using mouse pointers in more that one slide, then the end point of the mouse pointer on the first slide, becomes the start point on the second and so on.
This is done to keep the continuation of the mouse pointer across the slides.

Movie start points in a session

In addition to my previous post, i have a problem with Movie start points and tempo changes as well. Please correct me if i am wrong but in Logic 7 it was possible to set a movie smpte point (say 10.20.17.22) as Bar 1 of the arrangement thus meaning you could write a piece for a 2 min extract of movie without having to lay the whole movie in place and skip to the point you were writing for (after all, that is the sole point of having a SMPTE time start function). In 7, when a tempo change or curve was applied, the arrange would take the SMPTE set at bar 1 as the start of the movie and thus the movie would not slip (i.e 10.20.17.22 = bar 1 period). However, trying to achieve the same function in Logic 8 doesn't seem to work. Any tempo changes to an arrangement slips the whole movie against the time line regardless of bar 1 position, it seems that Logic is taking into account the negative bars at the start of the arrangement (i.e @120bpm bar 1 = 10.20.17.22 but @140bpm bar 1 would become a different SMPTE point in the movie). I am slightly worried by this problem as it is one of the main functions i carry out professionally. If i can't a) write to picture accurately and b)change tempo without slipping an entire movie file then the whole function seems a bit of a waste of time.

Select all songs in the list, do Get Info, look at the bottom of the window and set Remember Position to No. Say OK.

Start point don't work

Hello experts,
A VC problem, in design view.
I have an abap function that i checked(test & retrieve info from abap).
In the design view I have an input form, abap function & table view. All working great but... without default values. I try to add some default values(start point), but
no change occur.
Thenks in advanced,
Nadav Finish

Since this is a form I guess you want the default values displayed to the user before sending them to the function.
Try adding the default values in the form fields' control properties dialogues. Under general tab you will find the Default value field.

I can't not set Poject Start Point, as described on p 151 of manual. "You can move the project start point to an earlier position" . Can anyone do this?

I'm unable to change the Project Start Point. ( I can change the end point easily)
On page 151 of the manual it states:
"You can move the project start point to an earlier position..."
I can't find a way to do it. Are other able to change it. If so, please explain the procedure.

Mmmmm,…..I just noticed this as well…….
Anyway, try this:
For the sake of this demonstration start a new project.
Click the mouse pointer on the playhead in the ruler,
now the project start indicator should appear, hover the mouse pointer above it until this indicator appears,
when you see it left click, hold and scroll to the left.
Good luck!

I am using pages designing a flow chart, question "I seem to have an issue with the arrows that you can add text to, it appears I can not move the point of the arrows up or down they only switch from left to right.

Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track?

How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track? Thanks.

What exactly are you trying to do? You can drag any region by grabbing it in the middle of the upper area with the highlighted name of the region. However, if you move it towards the end of the track, the length of the track will get longer, to accommodate the extra part of the region. DO you want to speed up the region, to shorten it or do you want to trim it? You can simply grab the right margin of the region and drag it, to make the region shorter.

Set start point in movie buttons?

Is there any way to set the starting point of a movie (scene) button with any degree of accuracy? Apple's stupid sliders are about as elegant as using a twig as a screwdriver and it's driving me nuts. Moving the slider even a single pixel moves the video forward/backward 30-45 seconds, which is completely unacceptable.

I tried that, but unfortunately iDVD isn't understanding what I want to do.
Here's what I did: In iMovie, I cropped a much smaller segment of my movie (about 35 seconds), starting the crop at the point where I wanted. I exported this clip out of iMovie as a DV file (saved on my desktop). In iDVD, I went to the appropriate "scene selection" page and highlighted the button for which I wanted to set the video. I then dragged my DV file from my desktop onto the video area in the button.
What I EXPECTED to happen is, I EXPECTED the video in the button to change to the video in the file I dragged in, while clicking on that button would bring me to the appropriate chapter in my movie.
What ACTUALLY happened is iDVD created an entirely new button which, when clicked on, plays the cropped DV file that I originally created.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. Any ideas?

Reset the SMC and PRAM, if the issue continues then you likely have a failing GPU (hardware) that requires repair. To be sure take it in and have it professionally assessed.

The nano won't let me move ahead or backwards listening to a lecture. It only will go to the start point. How can I move along gradually, forwards or backwards?

You'll want to read about the playback controls on page 21 of your iPod's User Guide, specifically the fast forward and rewind controls.

Blue screen after start up; mouse still moves but no icons are visible

blue screen after start up; mouse still moves but no icons are visible. Removed SDRAM and reinserted the SDRAM

Thank you, I had forgotten about target mode. I was able to back up all of my files. I also copied some additional 50 GB of files of the disk as a stress test and the hard drive worked fine and quick (and because it was quicker than retrieving the same files from a network drive to my desktop).
I was hoping to also unpack the Applejack files on my desktop and put them back so I could run them in single user mode without running /etc/rc. However I haven't been able to get my Linux desktop to mount the iBook in Read-Write instead of Read-Only yet (I don't have access to another Mac at the moment).

Movie, offset start points...

I have a movie that begins at 7.20 (7 sec, 20 frames) how can I move the movie over to where 7.20 begins on beat one in logic? I'm having a tough time with this one. Thanks!

How to show data value labels in the charts without moving my mouse on the data point?

Sometimes I need to show a chart with data value labels which is not necessary to move my mouse on the data points. However, it seems Xcelsius does not support this simple feature. Any alternative ways?
Many thanks!

Currently, Xcelsius does not support display of labels at data points. It would be difficult to move and update labels on a chart with dynamically updated data. However, a work around for a static chart would be to add a Label component in the desired location. This can be done for multiple static charts by using dynamic visibility.

Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few days after installing 3.6.3

Hello Jim.
It's probably one of three things:
#your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
#you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
#or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

How can I make the mouse follow as I point?

I am brand new to captivate and incredibly frustrated. I'm
trying to record a web site walkthrough and have selected
"Demostration." No matter what setting I change, the mouse only
moves when I click, but I want to point to things as I narrate. Can
anyone help me understand how to make that happen?

Welcome to our community, murphisto
Captivate doesn't exactly work in this manner. Basically here
is how the process works. You open an application. You open
Captivate and configure it to record the application. There are
different ways to record. You elected Demonstration. When recording
in Demonstration mode, the following happens.
Where you click or type, Captivate captures the screen. The
screen capture becomes the background image for the slide. The
mouse coordinates are tracked. In other words, where it started and
where it stopped. So each slide has a single mouse movement. On the
first slide where mouse movement was recorded, you may adjust the
start and end spots. But each slide afterwards only offers you the
ability to adjust the mouse ending spot. The starting spot is
determined by where it STOPPED on the slide before.
You may wish to investigate using Full Motion Recording
(FMR). But if you choose to go that route, you need to be aware of
some factors. Captivate was never designed to be a Full Motion
product. It's better than it used to be, but far from perfect. If
you do record in full motion, keep it very brief. Just a few
minutes worth. If you find this method of recording and playback
are what you feel are best, you will find yourself constantly
frustrated with Captivate. In that case, you should investigate a
different product that was designed with full motion in mind.
Camtasia Studio, Fraps or one of the others.

Can't fine tune scene icon starting point

Hello.
I have an iMovie HD project that I am finalizing in iDVD 6. It is 90 minutes long and divided into ten chapters. iDVD 6 automatically created motion icons for each of the ten chapters. For ease of editing, I have turned Motion off for now.
I can click once on each icon, and a slider appears above it that allows me to set the starting point for that icon's movie. The problem is that I can't finely select the starting point I want. Even if I move my mouse the shortest distance possible, the video jumps by about one minute increments. Same thing when I use the right or left arrows on the keyboard. I've tried variations with the shift, control, option and command keys, but nothing worked, and iDVD Help has no solution that I can find.
Is there any way that I can get the movie sliders to move in much smaller increments, preferably frame by frame? Thanks!

I never found out anything on this, so I just finished the project as best I could. Now I have Final Cut, and doubt I'll use iDVD again. Good luck!
Fred
