Adding a double move transition

im trying to get a door to slide down and then move back up revealing the new page.... so far i can only get it to go down.
any help is appreciated, thanks

I would be happy to help you out
Here are some instructions for an example where a door moves down and up to reveal different contents:
1. On Page1 draw a red circle and a green circle
2. Group the circles (I found a bug, this is a work around, so I will explain later)
3. Hide the green circle by toggling the eyeball in the Layers panel
4. Click "Duplicate state". You are now in Page2
5. In Page2, hide the red circle by toggling the eyeball in the Layers panel
6. On Page2 draw a brown square (the door). Make sure the door is big enough to cover both circles
7. Position the door up high above the stage
8. Go to Page1 and toggle the eyeball for the door to make it visible in Page1 as well
You have have two pages. The door is visible and in the same place in both pages. The door is also up above the stage. One circle is visible in page2 and another circle is visible in Page2
9. Select the Page1 > Page2 transition in the Timeline panel
10. Select the door on the stage and click Add Action > Move in the timeline. Do this again so you have two Move bars in the timeline for the door
11. Position the Move bars so one occurs after the other
12. Notice there is a Fade bar for each of the circles since they are fading in/fading out. Drag these bars so that they fade right at the junction between the two move effects
13. Now we need to define how the door moves. Select the first Move bar and change the X, Y values in the properties editor to be x=0, y=600
14. Select the second Move bar and change the values to be x=0, y= -600
15. Create a button that navigates to Page2 when clicked
I have attached an example FXP file
Note: the bug I found was this. If I did not group the circles then during the animation one of the circles would appear above the door. I logged this bug and it should be fixed in the next beta. I found grouping the circles avoided the problem

Actions and Magic Move transition

In several slides, I have added a SCALE action and a MOVE action to objects in the slide. I then add Magic Move transition between slides, which works great, until the object pops back down to it's original slide instead of staying at the scaled size. Is there a way to make my SCALE action stick once the transition/move is complete?

I then add Magic Move transition between slides, which works great, until the object pops back down to it's original slide instead of staying at the scaled size.
Why have you added a magic move transition, what are you trying to achieve, that the actions in slide 1, do not do?

Settings changing when adding to another movie

Each time I attach a new chapter (mini movie) PROJECT to the already existing main movie PROJECT the settings change. I have tried adding on the front with the new chapter as well as trying to add the main movie to the mini movie. Is there a way to lock all settings on a movie so when it is added to another movie the setting won't change oon either clip. The chapter movie is approximately 1 1/2 minutes long and the main clip is approximately 9 Minutes long. There are several transitions, and scrolls included in both clips.

Hi Luis, thanks for the reply. I first made a video approximately 8 minutes long. I used digitized video, still images, sound tracks, titles and numerous transitions between the clips. I then opened a new project and made a movie of one of the last letters sent home by the veteran prior to his death. I also used transitions, movie clips, titles and various images. So far I have three of these last letters completed. I was able to copy and pasted two of the letter clips in front of the main generic movie. However, when I attempted to paste the third clip at the beginning of the main movie and two letters - it causes some of the titles, scrolls to overlap.

Project pane greys out after adding either HD movie footage or a photo'

Project pane greys out after adding either HD movie footage or a photo' into iMovie '08. Since using a HD camcorder, quite often, after adding either HD movie footage or a photo', the project pane greys out. I have to exit the project and re-enter to continue viewing the project; this is tiresome. Any thoughts or is this yet another iMovie '08 bug?

it doesn't hurt your projects nor does it touch any files.. it just 'resets' an app.. => slapp on backhead.. as I like to call it..

Adding 2 doubles together yields incorrect results

I have a problem with adding 2 doubles to produce a running total where it appears to also add 0.0000000000000(1 to 9).
The code illustrates my problem and is causing a big issue, I have found references to fix this which use BigDecimal but I want to now what is going wrong.
public class Test1
public static void main(String args[])
String strValue = "";
double dTotal = 0;
double dTotalOLD = 0;
dTotalOLD = dTotal;
strValue = "0.0252154";
dTotal = dTotal + (Double.parseDouble((String)strValue));
System.out.println(dTotalOLD + " + " + strValue + " = " + dTotal);
dTotalOLD = dTotal;
strValue = "0.0250356";
dTotal = dTotal + (Double.parseDouble((String)strValue));
System.out.println(dTotalOLD + " + " + strValue + " = " + dTotal);
System.out.println("dTotal = " + dTotal);
Actual Results =
0.0 + 0.0252154 = 0.0252154
0.0252154 + 0.0250356 = 0.050251000000000004
dTotal = 0.050251000000000004
Expected Results =
0.0 + 0.0252154 = 0.0252154
0.0252154 + 0.0250356 = 0.050251
dTotal = 0.050251
In the main application I upload a file and sum the items for validation but most of the time the total is not what I expect.
What am I doing wrong?
Mark

If you really absolutely need exact results, use BigDecimals.
With doubles, not even 0.1 is exactly 1/10. The IEEE double value closest to 0.1 is approximately 0.1+5.5511*10^-18 -- there is a slight, but significant difference. In calculations these "representation errors" along with others accumulate and eventually can give you relative errors of significant magnitude, although most of the time they stay under 10^-14, 10^-15

Stuttering magic move transition, has anyone the same problem?

I use Keynote 6 on a brand new macbook pro with retina screen (the most havy one). Has anyone the same problem: a little stuttering of the magic move transitions. It looks like if the movements are carried out on a rough surface. It is a small effect but it gives a low quality appearence.

Thanks for the feedback,Gary. Of course this may be the case, but it doesn't explain why a brand new MacBook Pro does a worse job than a over 3 years old MacBook Air (although the MBP is set at 1680x1050 and the MBA is at 1440x900 default resolution).
I tend to do all transitions at high speed, max. 0.5-0.75 seconds for a transition, often less (0.1-0.4 seconds) for an object build, to get a 'cinematic' effect, as Apple calls it.

Adding Credits to movie's end?

I'm new to iLife '05 and haven't found what I'm looking for. I guess I could fake it using some of the more lengthy titles from the title menu but is there any way to add full-blown credits (actors, location, sound editing, grip, etc.,) to the end of an iMovie either through iMovie or a plug-in?

David
Sorry about the late response to your message, but I've been away for a while (visiting grandson).
To place a title at the beginning of your movie, drag the title name (in the list of titles - not the actual text you've typed) before the first clip. I'm assuming that you want the title "over black" and you've checked the appropriate box. You can also insert a black clip in front of the title - go to the Timeline View and simply drag the title to the right. Go back to the Clip View - double click on the black clip and in the dialogue box that appears you can change the clip duration and colour (if desired). If your inserted title already fades in (some do), you will have a nice transition from black to your title, otherwise just use any transition you desire between the black clip and title.
Use the same method to place a title (over black) at the end of your movie - simply drag the title name to the end of the movie (i.e., after the last clip). The title will not disturb any fade out on the last clip - likewise a beginning title will not affect any fade in you may have on your first clip. Note that you can amend titles by clicking on the title then making changes to text font, colour, style, duration etc. - then clicking on the "Update" button - this will re-render the title.
The best way to work with titles (or any feature) is to experiment. Set up a short test movie and try different methods. I use a test movie quite frequently to check out new ideas and features - you don't have to save, just quit without saving.
Hope this helps David. You've probably figured out most of this by now anyway, given the elapsed time since your post!

Audio crossfade appears inactive (grayed out) when adding it to audio transitions

Not sure what I am doing wrong here...
I cannot directly insert audio crossfades into transitions on my audio timeline withought going to the transition point and then clicking sequence > apply audio transition from the main menu. But even then once it is added it appears inactive (grayed out) and I cannot change the lengh or style of the fade...
Another thing that keeps happening is the program keeps crashing. I get the pinwheel of death and I have to restart the program manually. I dont have any other programs open and my computer is quite beefed up so I don't know what is causing this..
Thanks for your help!

Adding two double numbers is a problem

Hi friends..
when we try to add the two double numbers say,
119.52, 10.00
here we should get 129.52
but it is giving as 129.51999999999998
Here i want to round this to two digits after decimal point
if i round the above value i will get 129.52 and the problem will be solved.
But we don't know exactly on what basis we are getting the sum as 129.51999999999998.
Assume that, tomorrow when we are adding some other numbers we may got like
129.51444444444448
when we round this we get 129.51
but actually we have to get 129.52.
If anyone know why the system is giving that wrong sum amount, please give solution to avoid this.
To solve this problem, i tried by converting the double numbers to integers and adding these integers and finally converting the sum into double...like
if
d1= 119.52
d2=10
int x = (int)(119.52*100.00);
int y = (int)(10.00*100.00);
int z = x + y;
double d = (double)(z)/100;
This is working for this case...
But when we are applying this approch to other numbers it is giving problem....
i.e, if i convert like below
int x = (int)(72.46*100.00);
this should give x=7246
but it is giving x=7245
What is the solution for this problem...please give immediate reply.....

Assume that, tomorrow when we are adding some other
numbers we may got like129.51444444444448
That isn't going to happen. The numerical computations are deterministic. The problem lies in your understanding of how numbers work.
This has been repeated before so if you want more detail I suggest you search the forums for discussion on precision and double.
Computers store numbers in binary. The number you are trying to represent is a decimal number. This produces an error in precision.
The same problem exists in decimal notation. Decimal notation can not accurately represent one divided by three (in decimal 0.33333333.....).

Adding Sound to Movie Clips

I am relatively new to Flash and I have taken over a Flash
project that was made out of Movie Clips (.swfs). This was done by
creating the presentation out of 5 separate documents (saved as
.swfs) with a behavior action added to the last frame of each file
telling the movie to load the next external movieclip.
Now that the project is finished, I am not sure if there is
any way to add sound to the file since it is made out of separate
movieclips rather than one long flash document. Everytime the new
movieclip loads, the music will either start over at the beginning
for that document, or stop playing all together. Is there any way
to make the music play continously through all five movies?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Place the music in main level while loading the other content
in level 1.
Levels run independently and while the other movie keep
loading one after
another, it won't interrupt the sound in main level.

Adding title to movie - Premiere elements 8

Hi
i am trying to add a title to a movie i am creating. however i want the title to be just black with white writing but when i add a title it applies to the first clip and its not its own separate "scene". Yes i am new to elements and movie making and need all the help i can get. Can someone please help?
Thanks
Amanda

Thank you all so much. Helping soooo much
I have another question... I have added all of my clips to the timeline/sceneline but when i play it to review what i have done its all jerky n terrible but when i view the individual clip it looks fine.
What can i do to fix this?
Thanks

Exported QT Movie transitions all messed up.

I've been going mad trying to get my first FCE 4 movie to export.
The source footage was recorded on a Sanyo Xacti CA9 which creates 720p HVC/H.264 MP4 30fps files. I used Mpeg Streamclip to convert to AIC and imported into FCE.
The files import OK and I can edit without any problem but when I export to QT, the transitions are a mess. Also if I use Livetype I get a bright image while the title is running then a sudden darkening as the title ends.
None of these problems are apparent in FCE only in the final output.
I notice during the export the transitions show a red bar which goes back to green after the export.
I tried using the HVC/H.264 files and I could export without any problems but rendering these files within FCE takes so long it makes editing a real pain.
Until I get this sorted I'll have to go back to iMovie.
Hope someone can help
NB.

I converted to Apple Intermediate Codec 30fps 1280x720 and I'm editing in FCE using HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30 set using easy setup.
This an example of the exact clip properties from FCE:

Adding two double's together??

Hi,
I want to add two prices which are Strings to start off with and to get the end calculation in J2ME.
As I can't parse the string into a double, how do I go about doing all of this (String -> double -> end result which is the addition fo the two prices?
i.e. �12.50 + �13.50 = calculatedResult ??
Any help would be appreciated,
Harry

Hi again,
I have another problem. If a value comes in for example at �1.995 and say is added to a value �0.005, how can this be dealt with when rounding up? This needs to go to �2 but using the code you provided will only get me to �10.95.
I have to handle cases where the value may come at �1.995, �1.996, �1.997, �1.998 and �1.999. Each of these 5 values will be added to �0.005 and I really need the addition of the 2 values to be rounded properly. i.e. if �1.996 is added to �0.005 then the resultant answer is �2.00 and not �2.001. The last case �1.999 + �0.005 will come to �2.004 so the half pence will never become a full pence if you understand what I'm saying...? But �9.999 + �0.005 will become �10.004 so the pound has changed here and will need to be dealt with.
Please help!

Adding thumbnail "kills" movie playback!

This is the single wackiest bug I've personally encountered.
I have over 100 movies (from my own DVDs) that I have ripped and I stream them via my Apple TV. Worked great, except I gotthe idea I would like to have nice thumbnails for browsing. So, I started adding them. Well, so far, this process has "killed" 4 movies in my collection— rendering them unplayable.
I even changed the process, making sure to press "Play" PRIOR to adding the thumbnail, to ensure the movies did indeed play with no problem. So it is certainly NOT a codec issue. It's something that iTunes does when importing the thumbnail image. On the first 3 I have had this problem with, it's simply inconvenient— I'll have to re-rip. On the last, I have lost the movie, as the original DVD is unplayable scratched.
Any thoughts as to why this happens? Anyway to revive the movies in question?
Here's the message I get after this occurs (despite the movie playing before I imported the thumbnail with no problem at all):
The Movie Could Not Be Opened
An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie.

Well, here we are in 2012 and I'm having the same problem! I tried adding a 'cover' to a movie file, in this case an mp4, iTunes freezes which resulted in a killed video file. it's damaged in every way: It won't play anymore and you can't change the meta data, like it's locked or something.
But this only occurs when I directly copied a picture from my webbrowser into iTunes. The thing is, how can I revert this, 'cause it's f**kin' anoying to download the same file again........
So I guess to prevent the freezing from happening: save the picture file in a folder on your Mac/PC and then open it from the files preferences in iTunes.
