Animation: would this work?

Say you want do make a cartoon, the old way. You draw all the cells, photograph them, and load them all in sequence into Imovie.
It won't play as a smooth animation because you can't reduce the screen duration of a still shot down to 1/25th of a second.
But if instead of taking a photo of each cell, what if you take a very short burst of video of each one, and load all those little video segments into Imovie. Then, you delete all frames of each segment except ONE. Shouldn't that leave you with a series of single frames, each of a different animation cell, that will run as a smooth animation when you hit play?
I wanted to ask before I start. It'll take a loooong time, I know.

... I want "Disney-smooth. ...Disney? that WAS the company doing cell anim, right....?
ok, the Disney classics as "Snowwhite" were painted every cell (not easy to get: the DVD has some "making of", showing the REAL Snowwhite.. forgot the actress' name, and how they used that as a blueprint for the paintings..), but most productions do 1:2/1:3 or higher.. the cheap Asian production do a mixture, they use realtime camera movements and some computer aided animations..... do some research with DVDs of your favorite, use the frame-forward-feature of your player, you'll be surprised
I can' recommend any good book (I'm sure, there are many), my knowledge is a collection from the last 30y I'm interest in that topic...-
happy painting, "Disney smooth" (<< I like that term!) is 24 paitings per second (doing that with video, you do 25/30fps)... maybe that is the true reason why the gave up that part of the company... besides: a shame! they earn enough money with the productions of Pixar...
I would spend some money on that boink ploink boom what's its name??... software......esp. "onioning" is very easy done with video+Mac...
A Mac is just a tool, but with your talent... probably, you'll be the next Carl Barks (ok, he never did animations, but he was THE BEST at Disney...), it was Georg Lucas, who said, he's afraid of these new "Garage Movie Makers". ;-))

HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts? Thanks Elainecontacts

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user. That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) . When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device. You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc. itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.

I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro? I also want to use windows 8 on it, would this work with parallels or bootcamp?

Yes, it supports target display mode. Windows can be run with either Parallels or Boot Camp.

I want to get another 4s and use it not as a phone, but only as a video camera and editor and hook it up only with wifi. i would sync it to itunes so i can pay for apps and upload. would this work, or must it be connected to a phone carrier?

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

NO it will not work. AP must be directly connected to the 3850 for it to work in MA or MC mode.

Upgrade Error 1604 - Would this work to get iphone OS 3.0 running?

Last week, I tried to update my iPhone 3G with the new 3.0 OS only to get the 1604 error and what I had originally thought was a bricked iPhone. After some digging on these forums, I figured out how to revert back to the older OS. I found it on the internet, downloaded it, and then restored my iPhone using that. My question is, if I were to go about manually downloading the 3.0 OS from the internet to my computer, and then restoring my iPhone using it, would it work? My god, all I want to do is have the new OS on my iPhone! What the heck is going on?

I can send invitations and accept invitations through my Exchange Calendar, but not through my gmail CalDav?
Why would this be removed and not included? Is this feature going to be added next year and advertised as some new feature that other phones don't have, like cut and paste? My Dell PoctetPC from 2000 has cut and paste...
Come on Apple - listen to users and bring in all of the basics! You want this to be fully recognized in the Enterprise - CalDav meeting invites are going to be necessary!

PHP Code, Variables & CSS. Would this work?

Hello,
I am new to PHP, this is my first script I have made without any help, I am using xammp to test my site, but the basics of the code is this. I am adding an include code into the navigation menu and in the CSS I have defined certain rules for the nav. Now in the code when you click on one of the links, it will change the variable to a corresponding number. The Code is pretty much self explanatory.
Menu.php:
<?
$active = 1;
?>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#" onclick="<? $active = 1; ?>" class="<? if ($active = 1){?>#navigation ul li a.active<? } ?>">Portfolio</a></li>
      <li><a href="#" onclick="<? $active = 2; ?>" class="<? if ($active = 2){?>#navigation ul li a.active<? } ?>">Web Examples</a></li>
      <li><a href="#" onclick="<? $active = 3; ?>" class="<? if ($active = 3){?>#navigation ul li a.active<? } ?>">Contact Me</a></li>
    </ul>
Menu CSS:
#navigation { text-align: right; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; font-size:14px; line-height:18px; height:70px;}
#navigation ul{ list-style-type: none; }
#navigation ul li{ display:inline; padding-left:15px; }
#navigation ul li a{ text-decoration: none; color:#fff; }
#navigation ul li a:hover,
#navigation ul li a.active { color:#ffe6a5; }
Now what I want to happen is when you click on one of the links, it will change to active, changing the color of the text to tell the visitor that, that link is active. Now normally I would do it though CSS, changing the texts rule to the active, but in order to be able to change buttons without having to do it though all the pages and also because I want to start using PHP more.
The Include works, as you can see below, but the code above does not work, because the home button should be a light yellow color.

I can't comment on your PHP, but you can achieve your desired result quite simply using this demo from Nancy.

I want to try and keep my iMac cooler , would this work ..?

My new iMac 24 inch is working fine , the only thing is its getting very hot on the casing at the top, I think this may be due to the fact it is working in a very hot room, the iMac sits on a nice and clear desk top well away from the wall , the room is well ventilated with all the windows open, but the room temperature get’s very hot and there’s no room air conditioning . I was wondering if I placed a fan on the desk top
To blow some air onto the iMac’s case , this may help reduce the machine from getting hot ..? . Where does the iMac draw its cooling air from , the bottom or top of the casing..? and do you think that putting a fan on the desk would reduce the iMac’s
Casing temperature in any way ..?

Is the ambient temperature within the operating limits stated for the iMac? (Operating temperature: 50°F to 95°F - 10°C to 35°C) If so, why worry about some Heath-Robinson cooling arrangment. If the heat is being dissipated out of the iMac then it's doing the job it's designed to.
If you look at the iStat Pro widget:
are there any that are actually higher than they should be. The metal case of the iMac acts as a heat-sink so it will feel warm in places whereas other computers may be far hotter inside but feel cooler to the touch.

AX as a ADSL router & bridge - would this work?

I actually use a wired (ethernet) bound ADSL router, and an AXn wireless station, connected to the wired network, which includes an ethernet enabled laser printer and an MacMini used as a backup machine.
I would like to replace the ADSL router by another AXn, which would use its ethernet port as a WAN port and be connected as a remote WDS base to the existing AXn.
Basically this would look like this
Internet (WAN) <---> AXn (new) <........> AX (existing <----> wired ethernet network
1. Is this feasible?
2. How should I configure the wireless side of the new AX connected to the WAN ?
Thx in advance

2. How should I configure the wireless side of the new AX connected to the WAN ?
The new AXn's Ethernet port will need to be connected to your ADSL modem by Ethernet cable. If your ISP requires PPPoE credentials (username/password) in order to access their service, you would need to configure the AXn with these credentials through the AirPort Utility.

This animation will not work, neither does embeded youtube videos

So this site https://www.navo.navy.mil/cgi-bin/animate.pl/metoc/74/84/0-0-17/0 animation does
not work (in either FF or Safari on mac, works great on any browser on xp).
Anyone know why???
Also, if I try to look at a embeded youtube video it shows a black screen unless I scroll so that the
video is partially blocked (top or bottom).
Anyone?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Would this Adapter work?

Hi, I've recently acquired a new macbook pro.
I have a samsung LCD TV that has a HDMI input. (the model no. for TV is SyncMaster 2032mw)
If I buy this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mini-DisplayPort-to-HDMI-ADAPTER-Display-Port-CONVERTERW0QQitemZ110469845389QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL?hash=it em19b884118d#ht_9496wt941
and connect everything up, would it work?
Thanks

It should, though you won't get audio through the HDMI input and will need to run the audio separately. If you will be using a separate audio system that won't be a problem, but if you need to use your TV's speakers, you'll need to check your TV to see if it can accept audio via another input when using the HDMI input for video; not all TVs can. If yours can't, you'll need this:

Would this storage card work in the Media Card slot of my W700?

Hi,
I'm interested in buying this Lexar 133x SDHC Card:
http://lexarmedia.com/products/lexar-professional-133x-sdhc-card?category=213
Basicallyl, I want to use it as another storage drive (as opposed to putting in my camera or other device). So after I insert it, I want to be able to format it and use it as another storage area. Would this card work?
The reason I'm gravitating to that card is that is that I see in the specs that is minimum 20MB/sec read transfer rate and it does not take up one of my USB slots.
However, even if it does work, would I be better off with their Echo ZX plug-and-forget it USB drive when they ship it?:
http://lexarmedia.com/products/lexar-echo-zx-backup-drive-0?category=90
If both work, which would be faster as a storage drive?
Thanks.

It is a SDHC card so it should work on the card reader of the W700.

HT3291 Does this work when listening to radio direct on apple TV? I would like to able to play the radio on apple TV & airport express at the same time.

Does this work when listening to radio direct on apple TV? I would like to able to play the radio on apple TV & airport express at the same time.

Welcome to the Apple community.
No, this doesn't work directly from the Apple TV. However if you play the radio station from your computer you can send it via airplay to both devices, thereby achieving what you require.

Was told a USB device would create a PDF automatically from the data contained within when plugged into my USB port. Doesn't seem to work. How does this work and how can I fix the device I received?

Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?

You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.

Would this mouse work well on my iMac?

http://www.amazon.com/OEM-Microsoft-Intellimouse-5-Button-Optical/dp/B000BSHJYQ/ ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1240008004&sr=8-1
I'm looking for a new mouse to replace my Mighty Mouse. I'm just so tired of how the scroll wheel/ball ALWAYS stops working after a while, on all of them. I saw this 5-button mouse on Amazon and was wondering if it will work the same way my Mighty Mouse currently works (Exposé, Application Switcher, Dashboard, etc.) by pressing the buttons?

I have that mouse and it works fine on a Mac. If you want to use the two extra buttons (on the side), you will have to install Microsoft's driver software (which you configure through a special System Preferences pane). If you just want to use left and right buttons, plus the scroll wheel, and adjust the usual sensitivity settings, the built-in Apple mouse driver works fine.
Right now I use an even plainer Microsoft mouse
[Microsoft Optical Mouse (Blue)|http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-K81-00004-Optical-Mouse-Blue/dp/B000068M P2/ref=sr112?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1240013923&sr=1-12]
with Apple's mouse driver. But I used that model you linked to previously.
Odd tip: This worked with my current MS mouse. You can't set the center-click (clicking down on the scroll wheel) using the Apple mouse driver. But if you connect the Apple Mighty Mouse and set the center-click to do something (I have mine set to do Exposé ), and you then switch to the Microsoft mouse, the setting for the center-click still works (even though you cannot change it).
