Affecting Parameters in Composite mode

I'm a new FC user so excuse my ignorance. I'm trying to affect the parameters of a video composite. With Avid I was able to affect each video layer and key frame between foreground and background, but in composite mode I can't seem to affect any of the parameters as you can with other video filters. Is there a type of "blending" filter that would work better?

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but try double clicking one of the video layers and making adjustments in the Viewer.
for instance if I was composting two identical video clips and using Composite Mode Add then I might launch my top video layer and adjust the Opacity in the Motion Tab

Composite mode (control click or right click) and how and when to use

Hello,
I would like to learn how and when to utilize the composite mode (control click or right click on your timeline)and all of its functions. Do you have a recommendation as to who might be able to explain what each of the composite mode functions do? Editors keep referring to how great this feature in FCP is.
Thanks,
Jordan

Have a read through the manual first. It explains what Composite Mode does and the theoretical underpinnings. Book III- Chapter 18- Page 361 (in FCP 5.1) is a good place to start.
If you have questions, come back.
Have fun.

Anybody can explain composite modes in detail please?

looking around the web i cannont find any where that explains composite modes in detail!
any links please to some good web sites that explain a little about each one and how they are used please?
i understand screen, overlay, multiply etc but i would love to have a reference for each one of them!
many thanks for any info!

yep!!! sorry overlooked this again!!
thanks for the info though!!

Composite mode transition

Hi,
When I use a transition (edge wipe in this case) between two clips with a different composite mode, something strange happens. I thought that the transition will mix the composite modes but it looks like it adds the composite modes.
Is there any change of solving this problem or do I have to find a workaround?

Can i edit my posts in this forum?
I looked again at the transition and I found that the transition only uses the composite mode of the first clip.

Composite Mode with X?

Hello,
the FCPX allow the Composite Mode function (like the FCP7 under Modify menu), to apply for example over two clip one on top of the other in the timeline (more or less like layers)?
If not ;-( is there any similar function or the same function with another name?
Thank you.

I´m not yet a FCPX user so I can only imagine what you´re explaining, but tell me if it´s this:
1.Two clips, one on top of the other, with the cursor line over them too.
2. One click on the "i" icon, with the clip on the top selected and we´ve access to the Composite Modes list?
3. Choose from that list and apply a Composite Mode over both clips (the first over the other in the vertical alignment) like a "subtract" or a "multiply" mode?

Linear Compositing Mode

I am learning to love the look of how linear color compositing mode combines my content. While I'm loving the results, I'm one of those people who likes to know why I get a certain result.
It seems that there is a difference between compositing over a black solid or black video versus compositing over nothing. I find that cross and film dissolves to an empty portion of timline has different results than dissolving to a black layer. There are lots of great results that I get from using the sequence setting "Composite in Linear Color."
Could someone explain how transparency and various compositing methods works in linear color mode that makes it different from the flat look I acheived FCP and when using non linear mode? Does anyone know of a whitepaper explaining the theory and math to help me understand what I'm seeing in the linear color world?

I've not seen any technical explanations put forth by Adobe on this, other than the following:
"...processing is done in a linear color space (i.e., gamma = 1.0) at 32 bits per channel (bpc), which results in more realistic results, finer gradations in color, and better results for midtones."

Does Print driver type (XPS V GDI) affect availability of "Color Mode Model" in Publisher 2013 to get CMYK colours

Trying to export a Publisher 2013 file to Commercial Printer standard for our printers. They require CMYK.
In the Publisher 2013 stand alone software - it is possible to change from RGB to CMYK in the "Choose Color Model" area in Info.
But in the server based Publisher 2013 - in Info, the Choose Color Model is not offered :(
Anyone know how to change RGB to CMYK in the server version of Publisher 2013? Thanks
I wonder if the availability of CMYK is affected by what printer driver is installed - XPS compared to GDI
Photos are of the Stand alone Office 2010.

Hi, ...
Since Publisher 2013, you no longer have to choose a color model for your publication. In prior versions of Publisher, several different color modes were supported, with RGB mode for screen and desktop printers, and single, process, and spot color modes
for more specialized, commercial printing cases. We have simplified this in the new version, and now use RGB mode for all cases, enhanced to export additional color information when saving the publication.
You can learn more useful information from this blog:

Just as a quick update, Melon-
Using Office 2010 I went into "Choose Color Mode" and changed to CMYK. Used the pack and go and packed it onto a stick. The Office Administrator then walked it round to the printers, who took a look. Printers are happy as the CMYK and quality (DPI,
etc) is all to what they want.
Based on the high number of posts and threads about the failings of Publisher 2013, and especially the CMYK issues - I guess someone needs to address that as a service pack ;)
Thanks

I have an Iphone 4.3.3 and do not have the face time application help. I read that it is supposed to be there. I try clicking on contacts that do have face time but i end up getting the email composition mode help.

I solved my problem myself thanks everyone

thanks huntress you should pick another waiting room for God one where there is less rain and snow. But on the other hand maybe God does not like this waiting room so he regularly skips it!!!! Thanks a lot for your reply.
After I posed the question I ended up solving the issue and sent a message to disregard but I appreciate your prompt reaction it is great.
I solved it by going to settings phone facetime on but had to turn off cellular data as well. Now I turned cel data back on and the feature still shows so that is great.
The second option does not seem to work for me because facetime does not light up on the keypad so I cannot activate it. I will try again or Do you know what i need to do there?
thanks so much for your help for the info and the website

No bookmark capability in layout mode?

Can anyone confirm my understanding that it is not possible to create bookmarks when using Pages in Layout mode?
If that is the case, is there another way to create a link on one page of a Layout document that takes you to another page within the same document?
Any insight and help is appreciated!
Best,
Chaad
Forgot to add that I am using Lion and Pages '09 v.4.1

Here are two answers from another thread, which might help understanding the purpose of layout mode:
If you are in layout mode, it does not matter if you selected the concert/a set or a patch before. The layout mode only serves TWO purposes:
1. Create a layout with objects - the "look" of your workspace. The objects should match the buttons/faders/controllers on the keyboard/controller and NOT be concert specific! They are designed to be hardware specific, but MainStage does not enforce this rule.
2. Assign you MIDI controls to these objects, so that these objects can be controlled via MIDI
After you are done with this, you should have NO reason to select layout mode again (only when your MIDI hardware changes or when you want to change the actual look of the workspace). The workspace is the same for ALL patches and sets!
The actual mappings of plugins to certain objects - everything that effects the sound - is done in Edit mode.
So when you are in layout mode, technically no patch or set is selected -- that is, you don't have to worry about what is selected in edit mode. The only things you change in layout mode are:
1. Adding objects on the screen
2. Assigning objects to physical hardware controllers
3. Create certain "default" behavior (set whether controller messages "pass-through", set default text, etc.)
In general though, the things you do in layout mode are orthogonal. You create your hardware assignment from physical hardware to the virtual on screen controls in layout mode, and then set what on screen controls affect which plugin parameters in edit mode. You are setting up one side of the "bridge" in layout, while the other half of the "bridge" can change per patch in edit mode. The final end result is the combination of these two bridges: physical hardware -> on screen control -> plugin parameter.

Re: Can't get S-Video to Composite on my Satellite A200-1AE

I am trying to connect my laptop with my TV using an S-Video to Composite cable and i get no colour on my TV.
Only black and white. I am trying to find a setting in Nvidia Control Panel to switch from S-Video mode to Composite mode but i get only S-Video and Auto-detect.
Does anyone know something about it?

The port you used on TV. If I connect cable from laptop to S-Video port on TV then I enable S-Video port on my TV.
I have also tested notebook connection to TV using SCART adaptor and used channel on TV reserved for SCART port. The picture was there with colour.
I don't know which TV do you have but on my work everything Ok.
By the way: I have Satellite P200 and I have tested it with S=Video and HDMI. No problems at all.

How to - only display the price of approved PO (not change mode)

Hi,
Following are our PO release strategy
1. Release id : P has
a. Released indicator (tick)
b. Changeablity - 4
The above setup is working fine, means still after the approval users can change all the fields. New strategy is triggered once the values are changed.
Now the issue is business owner does not want the price, qty in change mode after approval. After approval ME22N to show
1. Price & qty to be in display mode
2. All other fields (except the one which affects PRICE) in change mode.
I tried to all the combinations, but after approval I get to see either all the fields in display mode or all in change mode.
Is it possible to display the price related fields only for the approved PO in ME22N.
Please advice
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi Mani,
Thanks for the fast reply.
1. There is no ME22N - Fsel Key available.
2. Only for the approved PO - we want the price fields in display mode.
3. There is no restriction required for the un approved POs.
Is there any way.
Please reply
Thanks
Raj.

Multi-layered compositions creating overly large compressed files

Hi there community!
FCP HD 4.5
I have a composition that involves 3 layers of video and 4 audio tracks. It is only short but when trying to compress a sample for the web I'm having difficulty getting the file size down to something reasonable, like between 3 - 5 MB as with my other clips. I've tried exporting the project in uncompressed format and then trying to compress from that single track file, but FCP treats it just the same as the original. The original has a few effects applied and I also modified the composition mode, so it is somewhat complex. I've been trying to compress to quicktime movie using the following:
video:
H.246
size 400 x 300
quality: medium
frame rate: 15 fps
encode: multi-pass - best
audio:
mpeg-4
Resulting file size is 17 MB for a 1 minute clip. Way too high.
These settings are ideal for my other stuff, but this clip is more complex. I'm a professional preparing video content for the web. What is the nack for squashing a complex project without losing too much quality?

You should be using Compressor (moreover, you should upgrade 4.5 to 5.1 before the offer runs out).
Prior to Compressor 2 (and if I want QT 6 compatible quicktimes), I use Sorenson Squeeze. At high quality, I generally get 640x480 resolution at 4MB for 30 seconds. Or I use Compressor and H.264 LAN.
Both do a far superior job to straight export from FCP.

Alpha channel modes

Hi
A compositor has done some green screen keying for me - great job but he's given me the key as a seperate alpha channel (TIF as an image sequence) I'm a bit unfamiliar with how to use alpha channels in this way.
I have layer one as my background,
layer 2 as my subject that he has worked on the green screen of
layer 3 as a seperate alpha channel to key out the green. The Subject I want to see is white and the surroundings I want transparent are black.
So please tell me what settings to use to see the subject and the background.
I am assuming i only want to change settings on the alpha layer. By changing the compositing mode to overlay, i can see the subject fine, but the background is black. I have tried changing the alpha mode (ignore, straight, black or white) and various combinations of compositing mode and alpha but without getting any further....
So any help would be greatly appreciated, its the end of a long project and I'm starting to tear out my hair!
cheers

Reg. Update and CATT mode in BDC

Hello friends,
Whn we create new BDC recording in that recording parameters having update mode and CATT mode. so I want to know abt Update mode (Asynchronous, synchronous and local) and CATT mode in BDC.
Thanks.
Marmik

Hi
CATTMODE
CATT mode (controlling a CATT procedure)
The CATT mode can have the following values:
' ' No CATT procedure active
'N' CATT procedure without single screen control
'A' CATT procedure with single screen control
UPDATE upd
Effect
The specified update mode upd defines the update type. This can have one of the following values:
'A' Asynchronous update
'S' Synchronous update
If the addition UPDATE is not specified, the processing mode is set to 'A' .
synchronous update
In synchronous update, you do not submit an update request using CALL FUNCTION... IN UPDATE TASK. Instead, you use the ABAP statement COMMIT WORK AND WAIT. When the update is finished, control passes back to the program. Synchronous update works in the same way as bundling update requests in a subroutine (PERFORM ON COMMIT). This kind of update is useful when you want to use both asynchronous and synchronous processing without having to program the bundles in two separate ways.
Asynchronous update
A typical SAP system installation contains dialog work processes and at least one update work process. The update work processes are responsible for updating the database. If, in a dialog work process, the function modules stored in interim storage through CALL FUNCTION ... IN UPDATE TASK are released for processing by means of the ABAP statement COMMIT WORK, the dialog work process will not wait for the update process to finish. This kind of update is called asynchronous update.
