Adding "room tone" before or after a slide's existing audio

As a result of my experience in video production, the steps I
use to create my Captivate 3 software application demos are:
(1) rehearsing my software application scenarios in advance
(2) scripting my voice-over narration tightly
(3) recording my narration into a separate high-quality
digital recorder
(4) editing my voice-over in a separate audio editing program
(and, at the end, converting the files to .wav format)
(5) creating a silent Captivate 3 project of the application
scenario
(6) then, adding in my narration to individual slides -- or a
span of slides -- anchoring my timing to either the duration of the
slide/animation or the audio utterance, whichever takes logical
precedence.
Sometimes, I find that I need to slip the audio to let an
image hold a little more than the length of the utterance, which
results in a short span of dead silence at the start or end of the
slide event. Though this dead silence may not be noticeable on
speakers, it is very noticeable when listening with headphones --
which I believe must be the standard for any Captivate program.
In video, one remedies this by cutting in "room tone" to
replace the completely dead silence (absence of signal).
THE QUESTION: Captivate doesn't allow you to simply drop
another audio file into the time line (ahead or after the existing
audio clip). Complete replacement of the audio is all it allows.
Can a Captivate expert please advise me? I'm just learning
Captivate, but have a lot of expectations from the video process
that may simply not apply!

Hi Myron and welcome to our community
From your Film Strip, click the Speaker icon and choose
Edit... to open the Captivate audio editor. Once there, you should
be able to select part of the "Room Noise" and press Ctrl+C to copy
it to the Windows clipboard. Then you may paste it wherever needed.
Does this help? Hope so... Rick

Is the 20% discount added before or after a reward certificate?

Hello again. I got another question regarding the 20% discount. Is the 20% discount added before or after a reward certificate. So say for example, if I purchased a game for $60 and I had a $20 certificate, would my 20% discount activate first? Thus making the price 47.99 and then the $20 certificate reduced from that, making it 27.99 total. Or would it be the opposite and the certificate reduces off the $60 game first resulting in a grand total of 31.99?

Hey again JRxPHANTOM,
Good question! My Best Buy reward certificates are considered to be a form of payment, so they're applied to purchases after any applicable bundle pricing or discounts. Unlike traditional forms of payment though, they're applied before sales tax is calculated.
Here's how it would work using the example you provided (a $60 game, 20% Gamers' Club Unlocked discount, and a $20 reward certificate):
The base total is calculated ($60.00)
Your GCU discount is applied ($60.00 - 20% = $48.00)
The reward certificate is applied ($48.00 - $10.00 = $38.00)
Sales taxes are calculated ($38.00 x local rate)
The remaining balance due would then be collected, as with any other purchase.
I hope this helps.

Muse CC2014 Widget Installation - Before/After Image Slider

I purchased the "Before/After Image Slider" widget a few weeks ago, but I hadn't installed it yet. Now I can't find it, so I re-downloaded it from the "Install Using Adobe Extension Manager" section. However, it is not downloading correctly as a .mulib file. Instead, it is downloading the Adobe Extension Manager and only displaying my Fireworks CS6 add-ons - not my Muse CC2014 add-ons. Does anyone know how to access it?

Hello,
Please make sure you are launching ZPX file using Extension Manager CC (not Extension manager CS6) This addon should show under "Others" In Extension Manager CC.
Please check the detailed steps to install it.
1. Download the ZPX file by clicking "Download Before/after image slider" button in the link below:
https://creative.adobe.com/addons/patches/4860/install
2. Once Downloaded, Launch Extension Manager CC and Click install and select the ZPX file. IT will be installed in "Others" tab
3. Once the installation is over please check Download folder and you will find a file named as musethemesbeforeafterimageslider.mulib.
4. Double click the file to add it to Muse.
If this is not the case please make sure Extension manager CC is upto date. You can Check it from Creative cloud application.
Regards
Vivek

Hi, Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am used to using ACR in CS6 with it's preview checkbox in the upper right-hand corner. I do not see that checkbox in PS CC. I see that they have added side-by-side, right and left and top and bottom before and after

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?

Hi Warunicorn,
Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.

Audio Filter to Remove Room Tone

I filmed a seminar and on one take the sound did not go through the board. It only went through the camera-mounted shotgun mic thirty feet away from the speakers and not through the lav mics. Can anyone tell me which filter is best to remove some of the room tone and make the speakers sharper?
Thanks!

I've been in your situation. Sometimes it's unavoidable when filming a documentary. I think Bias Soundsoap does a terrific job in removing noise and am more than happy to plug them. There's also a pro version which I'm sure is way better than what I've got. But the standalone plugin can be used with most audio editing software, including STP. You might need to order the CD, I'm not sure if you can buy direct download. Check it out here:
http://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundSoapPro/
After removing noise, and adding a little EQ, I think you'll be very surprised (and hopefully pleased).

All of a sudden (video) files added to my iTunes library after a certain date aren't playable on other devices.

hello!
All of a sudden I have a weird issue with playing video-files added to my iTunes library after a specific date.
This is the situation so far:
I encode the video for iTunes with the same settings for the last 3 years. I know these vids play on all my devices. AppleTV & iPad. All of a sudden videos added to my library after the 8th of september aren't playable on my AppleTV and iPad. I can play them directly in iTunes and by accessing them directly via the finder and quicktime.
The following errors occur:
When I pull the video from iTunes on my AppleTV.. the video simply doesn't play.
When I pull the video from iTunes on my iPad I get a message that the file can't be found.
When I push the video from iTunes to the AppleTV using airplay I get a message that there has occured an error while connecting to the AirPlay-device "Apple TV". The necesary file could not be found. In addition when the AppleTV is switched off it doesn't turn on doing this, suggesting that there is something missing on my mac itself.
All the above errors aren't popping up when I choose a video that has been put in my library before the 9th of september. Then everything works as expected.
This is what I tried:
Turning off and on home sharing on all devices including the mac.
Logging in wiht a different apple ID though using the same ID as before.
I created a new iTunes library and populated with a video that was added after the 8th of september and one that was added before the 9th of september. Surprisingly the older one played and not the newer one.. while they both used the same encoding settings. The new library was locally on my mac as my original library is on a NAS.
I encode my videos with Quicktime 7 Pro using the following settings:
H.264 (current frame rate, key-frames:automatic, re-order frames, automatic bitsize)
Medium Quality
Multi-pass
current resolution (which is always 1280 X 720)
AAC sound
44.100 kHz
128kbps
I'm using the Mountain lion 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7 Mountain lion got updated a few days after 19th of september and iTunes i think as well. Both versions were released after this issue seemed to pop up.
I also have two video-files encoded on the same day with the same settings that dragged into the iTunes library on the 9th of september. One works.. the other doesn't.
So I wonder if there is somebody out there that can tell me what might have happened here and how I could fix this issue.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Seraphiel07.
I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
All connected through:
Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
I have:
1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
All comments welcome.

Everyone: This time repair your permissions before and after 10.4.8 update

Hello All,
Just a reminder for all those who are updating to OS 10.4.8.
While many people do ignore all the recommendations that we provide and still come through fine, please do consider observing the following to minimize your problems.
To insure the best chance of success, please consider downloading the Combo Updater for your computer instead of using Software update.
For PowerPC Mac's, this would be:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateppc.html
For Intel Macs, this would be:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateintel.html
The benefit of using the Combo Updater, is that it replaces all system files that have been changed since the last major release (in this case since 10.4.0).
So, if you have any system files that have become corrupted, the Combo Updater will very likely over-write those, and spare you the headaches that come from updating an operating system that has problems that just haven't come to the surface yet.
In many cases, you can have problems that have not come to the surface, and the "Delta" or Software update method will bring them out to bite you. The reason for this, is because the Delta / Software Update version only changes files that have changed since 10.4.7. And, it works more in a "patch" fashion. So, if there is a problem in one of the files being patched, then the update will cause you some major headaches.
Going with the larger "Combo" update over-writes almost all the System files with clean versions instead of just making patches. So, it is frequently much more successful.
Now, with that said, before you update, you should make sure your permissions are all set properly. If your permissions are wrong, then your update will likely have trouble.
So, go into "Disk Utility" in the Applications --> Utilities folder and repair your permissions.
Start by selecting your hard drive on the left window of Disk Utility. Then, go down and click on the "Repair Permissions" button. Once it's completed, then exit Disk Utility.
Now, it is also extremely important to make sure all running programs are closed before you install any system update. So, go ahead and restart your computer.
Restarting will make sure that all programs are closed, and that nothing weird is stuck in memory before you install.
If you have anti-virus programs running, then disable or deactivate them first (you don't want them interpreting this as unauthorized modification or it might prevent certain files from being updated).
Now, with your computer freshly restarted, install the Combo updater you downloaded.
When prompted, click on the "Restart" button when prompted.
Now, the computer will startup, but sit at the spinning wheel for several minutes. It will eventually restart again on it's own. And, finally, it will start-up all the way and you'll be back at your desktop.
Now, immediately go back to Disk Utility and repair permissions as you did in the previous step. You will likely see several permissions that have been repaired. In my case, I had dozens of CoreAudio, Widgets, and other permissions that needed repair. Once permissions have been repaired, go ahead and restart one last time. This makes sure that everything is set and then cleaned-up.
Once it reboots, begin using it and enjoy.
Now, this may sound like a lot. But, it really is simple. It just reads like a lot of stuff.
And, of course, you are free to ignore this and just install it however you like. Many people have their own ideas here. And, many people say you don't have to do anything to prepare. But, for those that have had huge problems in the past, these extra steps will usually save you the major headaches that tons of people inevitably have with every new update.
Anyway, I hope this helps to save at least a few of you any problems. If you don't agree with the ideas above, just ignore it and do as you like.
But, if you want a little extra piece-of-mind and a better chance at success, then please consider exercising this extra caution.
And, for the record, I have updated my machines to 10.4.8 (within minutes of the update being available) and it is working perfectly smooth on my systems.
I hope you find this helpful.

mhunter, thanks and good that you take the time and effort again to remind everyone that it does take an effort to do a major OS update, to ensure maximum stability.
So far my 10.4.8 Update is a-okay, and I have had many trouble-free updates since installing 10.4
I too practice rigourously and "religiously" before and after an OS or Security Update, but I normally use Software Update, equally successful:
1. Before Startup, UNPLUG all external devices, left only keyboard, mouse and internet connection, unless they are all wireless.
2. Startup, disable NAV if any, Repair Disk Permission. Restart again, Repair Permission again.
3. Do Software Update
4. Restart, Repair Permission
5. Shutdown, plug everything back
6. Startup Mac, use Mac
So far these steps have been keeping all my macs both at home and at work very very stable and healthy.
Maybe, just maybe if everyone here, all mac users were to follow these steps, yes they can be a hassle, yes they can take up some time, but then there will be less less complains and "blasts" at Apple, just because perhaps themselves have been too careless or negligance in performing updates.
Cheers

Hi i did the steps for restor my locked ipad (whech not sync befor) but after a while it says connot restore pecause it's locked? what i can do please help?

You have to force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Plastic Surgery Before and Afters... best program?

Hi guys,
I am brand new to graphic designing or anything related to it!
I'm currently looking to do side by side before and after pictures for my office. Sometimes the pictures differ in color or contrast or need to be cropped. Sometimes a patient requests that their eyes or a tattoo be hidden (with black bars).
What program(s) would you guys suggest? Photoshop? Illustrator? Other programs??
I just got a brand new Mac so please help me!
PS. PSdesigner= plastic surgery designer

Be aware that a there is a difference between a video that consists of a slideshow, and what DVDs consider a slideshow.
If you want a DVD slideshow, then I suggest taking a look at one of the Lord of the Rings Extended Release DVDs. On the two extra discs with each movie there are plenty of DVD slideshows. With a DVD slideshow you can go forward or back through the slideshow. You can stay on any slide as long as you like. A slide can contain audio. Audio cannot carry over from one slide to another. There is no transitions from one slide to another.
What I suspect is that you want a video that acts like a slideshow. In that case, do not use the slideshows in DVD SP at all. Create your video outside of DVD SP, then just place it in a Track and treat it as any other video.
That being said, do you want a lot of control over how the video slideshow is created, or do you want a program that will do most of the work for you at the expense of not having absolute control over how things are put together? If you want full control then create your video slideshow in FCP/Motion. If you want a program that will do a lot of the work for you, then you should look into iPhoto. It can create some pretty spectacular slideshows very easily, but you will not have the full control you have with FCP.

Do we have a way to get the differences between xtext model before and after partial parse?

Do we have a way to get the differences between xtext model before and after partial parse?
As an example i have file contains 4 lines, xtext parsed this file and generated its model, then i made small modification in line number 3, so xtext partially parsed the file and generated another model.
The question is could we get the nodes that has been deleted from the model?
could we get the new nodes added to the model?
could we get the differences between the two models?

Workflow {
bean = StandaloneSetup {
scanClassPath = true
platformUri = "${runtimeProject}/.."

Published Captivate 6 project freezes on slide immediately before the first question slide

I am running both CP6 and CP7 on Windows 7.
I am still working on projects created with Captivate 6 in Captivate 6. However, since installing CP7, any projects that I edit and publish with CP6 freeze up on the slide just before the first question slide.
Since I have only begun experiencing this issue since CP7 was installed, I am assuming that it is something to do with the fact that i have both versions (6 and 7) installed.
The only solution I have found so far is to open and publish the project in CP7, but this is not ideal as the projects I am working on in CP6 are new versions of ones already published in SAP LSO and I am concerned that publishing new versions of my courses from a different CP version will cause issues in LSO.
Any ideas why this might be happening? Ideally, I would prefer to continue to use CP6 for existing projects and only use 7 for new projects.

Hi there,
Have you created those projects in CP 6 from Scratch?
Can you check the complete version of CP 6 (Help > about Adobe Captivate), it should be 6.0.1.240 or 6.1.0.319.
Can you test with a blank new project in CP 6 after running it as Administrator (Right Click on CP 6 icon, then select run as admin).
Thanks.

Ive just upgraded my iphone 4 to 5, should i sync my phone before or after my number has changed to the iphone 5?

ive just upgraded my iphone 4 to 5, should i sync my phone before or after my number has changed to the iphone 5?

When you restore from an itunes backup it doesnt backup music or ring tones. resync from the computer that has the music. If you bought all the songs from iTunes, you can always redownload them but ringtones are a one-time download. Follow the article to redownload them. For the ringtones you can contact Apple to ask for a redownload of them

APERTURE. Before 'n After.

Is there a 'before and after' button in Aperture a-la 'Lightroom'? One that enables you to compare on the fly.
S

Or you can make a new version from the Master. Remember, this takes up very little extra room since it is just a set of instructions. Then you can put both of the images, the original and the version up on the "compare" viewer and adjust the new version. That way you can compare them side by side. You actually can make many versions like this to compare on the same screen.

Audio recording - prompts after every slide?

This question concerns the prompt box that appears after
recording audio for a slide. Basically, if the audio track is
longer than the slide length, you are prompted on how to handle
this after each slide. Is there a universal setting for this so
that we are not prompted after each slide? Or do you have to
increase the slide length before each audio recording to avoid this
issue? Either way, this is a time constraint. Thanks in advance for
any insight you may offer on these topics.

Hi stunamistyle
There is no setting I'm aware of for this. What you see is
what you get.
Cheers... Rick
