Animating road to a curved road, leaving the already animated road visible (correct, esp at the road turn)

I want to animate several roads, coming up from bottom of screen then fill a motion path and then end with an arrow head. I want a few going to the left at different degrees, and to the right as well one that goes straight...with the roads overlapping somewhat at the base, but spread out as the animation completes.
The issue I am running into is at the point the road (created in illustrator), the entire image of road rotates, and I am not able to anchor the image at the bottom, then fill the motion path with new road to complete the animation. Can someone advise as to the best method of going about creating an animated road, and how to incorporate curves while maintaining the already loaded road on the screen? I really appreciate it.

I am wondering if changing the origin would help. Select the image and then the transform tool in the file menu. You will then see the handles and the origin so you can change it by dragging it a the desirer place.
see my tutorial on that at edgehero.com

Where is the command "Turn off the computer at the end"?

How many times I had to leave the PC turned on, because I had to quit or went to bed, and the work of encoding lasted 3 to 5 hours,
such a command is very useful.
It 'very strange that this feature is not present on a program like Adobe Premiere.
In other software Freeware is available.
Thanks

I agree with the Admiral, but have to say that I have never read of this request, and that's over many, many versions of PrPro.
I do have several programs, with that feature, but in almost 30 years, have never used it once.
Good luck, and please let Adobe what you would like.

How Do I make curved lines with the pen tool in after effects CS6

Hello, so I have been following this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKzB-CFT0MI on how to make 2d intros in after effects and at the 2:20 mark he shows how he uses the pen tool to make curved lines around the elipse. I tried to do the samething myself, and couldent make the curved lines. I looked it up online and there were tutorials on how to make curved lines but they did not work the same way, and I could not make curves like he did.So if any of you know how to do curved lines like in the video, your help will be appreciated.
Thanks !

This is basic stuff and it's basically the same way Illustrator or Photoshop works with bezier paths. You'll find a lot of helpful information if you just type masking or mask in the Search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of the app.
Adobe - Search: masking
Directly from the Help Files: After Effects Help | Creating shapes and masks
Mylenium.. sorry you thought it was an awful tutorial. I made it in under a minute just to show this member the very basic task of creating a mask with the pen tool and animating the shape. I'll try and up the quality of my quick replies to simple operations.

I have an existing mini mac and 4 tb external drive.
My iTunes library exists on the external drive under /itunes...
I have purchased a new mini mac and I want to leave the library where it is on the external drive but move to new mini mac and have it show as it did on the old mini mac..
what do i need to do ?
I have found multitude of articles about moving itunes to external drive or other similar things but I don't want to move itunes from the external drive, just change mini mac machines and have everything in itunes the same..
Thanks

I had already tried that one and got this...
below is screen shot of what is on the new mac mini
and what is on the external drive now connected to the new mac mini..
There are no media files on the mac mini just the library files and on external just media files..
Do I need to copy anything over from the old mac mini ? xml files ? .. the itunes folder on old mini is about 840mb in size which looks to have artwork ect ? .. I am fairly computer literate, but this one has me stumped.. ?
thanks for help

How can I cut a section of video, but leave the audio playing?

iMovie 6
Hi, I want to edit, or remove a small section of video, but leave the audio playing in the background. I want to just put up a picture in the same spot. But, I need the video's audio to keep playing. I videotaped someone speaking, but there is a section where there is a mistake, namely, the camera was moved. I need to keep the audio going, and figured I would just put a still image of text or picture in the section where the mistake is, that's why I need the audio to keep playing. It's too long of a section to just do a transition to cover the mistake. Can someone help me with this? I guess you could call what I want to do is cut to a still image while the audio keeps playing?
Thanks

I have an iphone 4 and after updating it to the ios5 software, it will not allow me to activate nor allow me to leave the setup page. i cannot even restore it. does anyone know what to do?

i have an iphone 4 and after updating it to the ios5 software, it will not allow me to activate nor allow me to leave the setup page. i plugged it into itunes and it is stuck there too... i cannot even restore it. does anyone know what to do?

I have had this same issue but thankfully fixed it. Follow he steps below:
Sync your iPhone with you iTunes therefore your info is backed up. Unplug your phone.
Go to Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Once your phone has reset and come back on answer the question until it asks if you want to back up from itunes Click this then plug your phone in.
After everything has sync'd back to your phone everything should work fine.
Hope this helps.

I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
Thank you.

iPads sync to 1 computer only.
All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

How do I forward an email with an image on it? It changes to a jpeg instead of leaving the picture in place. Ex. : gallery invites

When I receive an invitation from galleries etc. with an image on it and I want to forward it, the image converts to a jpeg or something else rather than leaving the invitation as I received it. Is there any way that I can forward something with an image on it exactly as I receive it? If you send me an email address I will try and forward something to you. I promise I will never use it again

How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app? When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app? When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

Kludge to make less, vim et al. leave the screen uncluttered enjoy!

I have written a script which leaves the screen uncluttered when finishing less.
This script is written for bash in the "good old terminal", but works well with
iTerm too. I wrote this script because less is opposite of more as less is so
much more as more is so much less.
I hope you will use this script and reap the rewards of using less while reading
textfiles, gaining from less's features, avoiding the cluttering which may have
made you disliking using less. You can make a copy of the script and modify and wrap
the script around any other characterbased program which clutters your terminal screen.
The script works by beeing placed in your ~/bin which I assume is before
/usr/bin in your $PATH where the binary less resides. You must modify the paths
in the script if they are different from that. (both the binary less, the script,
and the kludge.scr)
The script installs an interrupthandler which are triggered by changing the
windowsize. The interupthandler figures out what it must do to preserve
your screen when you exit less, and just does so, except for four characters
to the extreme left on one line. (wich may well be part of your prompt).
The interrupthandler gets its work done, by calling a kludge which are
relatively referenced in the script from your homefolder, -presumes ~/bin
- YOU MUST EDIT THE SCRIPT OTHERWISE. The configuration is like it is because
that is what it takes to make the correct things happen in bash.
I think this could have been accomplished much easier using another shell,
but most people uses bash, especially newcomers, and they deserve to have
it as easy as possible, while reaping the productivity gains laying dormant
in the Unix core, so I hope you will share the script with you liberally,
if you think it is worth the time and the work it takes to "install" it.
I hope you will give this script a try, as to make less work comfortably for you,
I have included an environment variable with all settings I like in less, which
you may modify.
Less was the first program I had that made me think "wow" back in 1986, beeing used
to the "more" command, - which was, and is so much less than less. You can for instance
invoke BBedit with a file you are viewing in less by pressing "v" if you have BBedit
specified in the $EDITOR variable. You can pipe some text to the clipboard.
Or you can pipe some lines out of a document you are viewing in less and into
a file while viewing, you can load it with multiple files, and search them all,
a programemer can make less work with tagfiles; you can have less create a logfile
of what you read and, you can even scroll backwards. All in all less is a very handy
tool which I think everybody would gain from using,in opposite to more.
Especially when it leaves the screen uncluttered.
Great care have been taken in order to make this kludge work properly.
Still I MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTIES ABOUT WHATSOEVER AND ANYTHING.
-USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You may do whatever you wish to do with it, aside from selling it alone, but you
are free to do whatever that you please with it, aside from distributing
malfunctioning copies or incomplete copies or tinker with the Copyright notice

Is there a way to leave the notification center open

Hello all,
I wondered if there was a way to leave the notification center open in OS 10.8.1.
Maybe via the terminal?
I am using a 30" monitor and to me it would make sense to have NC alway open.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers.

You can poke around yourself, but right off I do not see how this is possible in customizing the plist.
Finder>Go>Go to folder>
/System/Library/CoreServices/Notification Center.app
You can right click to open> Show Package Content.

Opening A Link In New Window, While Leaving The Existing Webpage Open

Hi,
When I click on a link in a page, I want a new window to open with the contents of that link, leaving the 'linked from' page still open on my monitor. I don't want the existing 'linked from' page disappearing when the 'linked to' page opens on top of it. I don't think that in Internet Explorer, which I was using before, that the previous page disappeared in the way it does on Safari. I continually find myself losing the page I want to keep while I open another. In Preferences>General, I have tried to set Safari up to work the way I describe above, but I can't seem to find the right default procedure.
Or,
How do I leave the departure window open, and below the arrival window, when clicking a link from the former to the latter?
Thanks,
Rafael

Hi,
the only way I know of the is to go to file and click for a new Window.
Sounds like tabs maybe your thing, from Safari's Helpviewer. for more info look there.......
To turn on tabbed browsing, choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Tab. Select Enable Tabbed Browsing.
To open a link or bookmark in the bookmarks bar in a new tab, hold down the Command key and click the item, or hold down the Control key, click the item, and choose Open in New Tab from the shortcut menu.
To open a bookmark collection in the bookmarks bar or a folder of bookmarks in the Bookmarks Library in tabs, hold down the Control key, click the collection or folder, and choose Open in Tabs from the shortcut menu.
If you select the Auto-Click checkbox for a folder in the bookmarks bar, then you can open all the bookmarks in the folder in tabs by clicking the folder name in the bookmarks bar.
To open a webpage in a new tab, choose New Tab from the File menu and type the address for the page.
To close a tab, click the close button in the tab.
To quickly switch between tabs, press Command-Shift-[ and Command-Shift-].
To show a webpage that is in a tab and close all other tabs, hold down the Option key and click the close box in the tab you want to remain open.
When you click a link in a page you are viewing in a tab, the page opens in the current tab. Click the Back and Forward buttons in the address bar to scan pages you have opened in a tab.
If you choose a page from the History or Bookmarks menu, the page opens in the current tab.
Hope it helps you do what i think you are looking for.
Cheers

Whenever I leave the main VI screen, the data is no longer able to be read.

I have a VI that I have used on and off on a test stand of mine for a year and a half. Yesterday, I ran it for the first time in about a month, and the VI had developed a peculiar problem. Whenever I leave the main VI screen and go back to it, data is no longer able to be read. By "leaving the main VI screen" I mean bringing up another Windows program into the foreground, or switching to the diagram screen of the VI I'm running, or even using one of the buttons on the main VI to bring up a sub VI screen. If I stop and then restart the VI, then everything is fine again. All data is read perfectly for hours on end until I leave the screen and then it goes nuts.
I actually ha
ve 4 boards that are being read by the program, and all of the inputs from one of the boards go haywire in this way. The inputs from the other three boards are always fine, and all inputs from the one board always aren't. The inputs include both pressure transducers and thermocouples. I also want to stress that the program worked fine for a year and a half until yesterday. Now, it doesn't. The board that has problems is an SCXI-1102, if that makes a difference, but I really get the impression that it is a software problem.
I originally thought it might be that the sub VIs had been changed in such a way as to not allow them to close properly except that the problem persists even when I simply switch back and forth between the diagram and front panel. In this case, I haven't touched anything in the program! I also thought that there might not be enough disk space on the computer, so I just cleared 100 Meg off my hard drive yesterday, but the problem persists. Does this problem
sound familiar to anybody?

Interesting. I thought about posting the same answer, because I, too have had the same experience with video drivers. I wasn't sure if this was a problem that anybody else was having, but evidently it is.
If you dig deep down into LabVIEW manuals, it does make a suggestion to drop the colors to as few as you need. My driver was having problems with 16 million colors, so I dropped it to 256. All my problems disappeared when I did this, too.
