Add realistic shadow to keyed person?

FCS 2
Motion 3
Hi all,
I'm doing a chromakey in Motion of a person; the background plate is the interior of a room.
What do I use to add a realistic shadow to her? Couple factors:
1. The talent is not stationary; she moves throughout the entire screen width
2. The floor & ceiling meet 2-3 feet (visually) behind her
3. She sits on a bench at one point, if that needs to be figured in
Is there a way to do this in Motion? Or do I have to use a third-party plugin/filter?
I've searched but am probably not using the right keywords; I find lots of posts about regular drop shadows for stationary objects.
Any help is very much appreciated!

1) Duplicate the layer
2) Use the Channel Swap filter to switch all channels to Alpha - this will make your keyed subject all white
3) Add an Invert filter - this will make it all black - your shadow
4) Right-click and select the Four Corner tool, distort to tast
5) Blur as needed (you might want to group the layer and blur the group)
6) You can duplicate this whole thing, remove the blur from the original, then use an image mask with a gradient to have the blur fall off as the shadow gets closer to the subject.

Hi All,How2 delete a pkey for std table and add 2 new primary keys

Hi All,
How2 delete a pkey for std table and add 2 new primary key fields .Please provide me the required procedure .
Thanks&Regards.
Bharat.

Hi Bharat,
First thing is you need to have the access key to change any standard dictionary object/standard programs/ standard transactions.You may get this from your basis person after getting approval from your respective manager.But changing or modifying the standard object is not recommended, but if there is no alternate to meet the business requirement then we have to follow this way only.
Next, you need to check whether this table's primary key is being used in any other table as foreing key or not. If there is, then you must remove this relation and then you can delete the unncessary primary key field from that table.Finally you can add the two new fields and set them as primary key, save, check for any errors and activate.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.
Thanks,
Srinivasa

How can I add a shadow to a tabbed panel?

Trying to put a shadow on the active state of a tabbed panel so the tab and the content areas share one continuous shadow. Want the active panel to look like it's sitting above the other, inactive panels - the way a stack of file folders would look: shadows on all the tabs, but the folder on the top of the stack would have a shadow around the tab and the rest of the folder.
I can get the shadows to work on the tabs - where the active tab has a larger shadow than the normal (inactive) tabs and they look like they're sitting behind it - but when I try to add a shadow to the content panel it makes the panel appear to sit above the tab that goes with it. I tried arranging the tab on top ("Bring to front") but it still sits behind the content panel. Also tried pulling all the tabs to the front, but the content panel still sits in front and any shadow on the active panel is still over the active tab.
I know I can get an effect that's kinda-sorta what I'm going for with flat color (lighter for active, etc.) but would love to add some truer-looking depth to the active tabbed panel.
Any suggestions?

you can control the dropshadow's angle property dynamically. and, yes the dropshadowfilter has an alpha and strength properties you can use.

If I add another profile, will that person's content automatically be saved to my Time Machine hard drive or do I need to take further action to ensure that this is saved?

Time Machine creates a back up of the entire Hard Drive, with the exception of Boot Camp or exceptions you have created. So in other words after you create the profile run Time Machine, and a backup of the other user profile will be added to your Time Machine backups.

How can I add drop shadow to a vehicle that changes direction ?

Hi,
Flash CS5
Is it possible to add drop shadow to plan views of vehicles (vehicles are png images as MovieClips) such that as the vehicles change direction along roads (also png images) the shadow is always cast to north west ot the vehicle ? Buildings in the base png image have shadows but vehicles also need them so as to belong to the scene and not appear false.
How is it done ?
Is there control over opacity and softness ?
If I were to have plan views of humans walking would the shadows follow the leg movements ?

I you have the access key - you can copy the 901 table and create a new table along with your required field. v/03
Or

ie 10 - 901
and in 20 - your required field

FRM-40735 Error when trying to add an employee as key member for a project

FRM-40735: ON Insert trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502 in PAXPREPR when trying to add an employee as key member for a project
Tried generating FND log messages to see if it shows any error messages but it didn't show any specific error.

Error ORA-06502 says PL/SQL: numeric or value error.
The Error could be in the data already exist in the system for key members. If this Project was created using APIs, there are possibilities that some other character( i.e. next line chracter ) got entered in the column value which Form "PAXPREPR" is not able to fetch or update.
You can query the key member data from back-end to check if any data corruption is there. you may require data-fix to correct that.

Is it possible to add and view your key words when creating a web site from Lightroom 4?

Is it possible to add and view your key words when creating a web site from Lightroom 4?

Hi,
I had the same problem with
"java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.html.uielib.standard.uradapter.ViewContainerUIElementAdapter.getContent(ViewContainerUIElementAdapter.java:98)"
when I included ViewUsages dynamically in an action handler (outside wdDoInit()).
The code below fixed that problem.
This code creates a new OutboundPlug for the embedding view with the embedded view as target and fires the plug.
<i>// Create OutboundPlug
IWDOutboundPlugInfo outboundPlug = embedderViewInfo.createOutboundPlug();
//Create navigation link
rootViewUsage.createNavigationTarget(outboundPlug.getName(), interfaceViewUsage, "Default");
// fire navigation link
wdThis.wdGetAPI().firePlug(outboundPlug, Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
</i>
I hope I could help you. Probably you don't need the information anymore, but perhaps anybody else has the same problem.

My ichat will let me send video chats requests, but it will not let me accept them. What should i do? Also, sometimes it tells me i cannot add a 2nd or 3rd person to an existing chat because it is connected to AOL's relay servers. What does this mean?

Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

Add catagory or sub in personal budget spread sheet? Food-Dining or Food - Groceries

How to add catagory or sub in personal budget spread sheet? Food-Dining or Food - Groceries?
It can add it to the actual but it does not show up to be reconciled?

Here is one way to do this (description for Numbers 3.0 on the Mac but it's essentially the same in Numbers for iOS):
In the summary table on Budget sheet select the row before which you want to add your new category and in the contextual menu that appears select Add Row Above.
Type the name of your new category in column A (Category) of the new row. Then select the cells in columns B through D in the row above the newly inserted row, move the cursor to the middle of the bottom edge until the yellow dot appears and drag that down into the new row. This fills down formulas into the newly inserted row.
Now go to the Transactions sheet, select the cells in the body of the table in column C (Category) and format them as Pop-Up Menu.
Click the + button to add your new category name, and drag the new category to wherever you want it to appear in the list:
Make sure the name of your category in the Pop-up Menu is spelled exactly the way you spelled it in the summary table in the Budget sheet.
That's it.

Add cast shadow to person?

Motion 3
FCS 2
Rephrasing (more succinctly) an unanswered question from a while back:
Is it possible to add a cast shadow to a chromakeyed person?
(1) Is there a trick or workaround to do this within Motion?
(2) Is there a plug-in? Or, a separate program that does this?
I've searched the forums and Googled the web, but not having much luck. I appreciate any help or direction.
Thank you!
