Auto set locators (loop playback)

Hi,
I have just moved from Protools to logic and am having problems enabling loop playback. In Protools I can check loop play mode and any region I have selected will automatically loop. However in Logic I seem to need to push the set locators button (or use the shortcut). Is there any way this can auto select when I choose a selection of the audio file? I have looked in the manual but can't find anything.
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Did you figure this one out? I'm dong the same thing - moving from ProTools to Logic, and I'm trying to figure out how to have Logic loop playback of a highlighted region. I'm baffled.

How to auto set remember playback position?

When adding MP3s to a playlist, is there a way to automatically set the "Remember playback position"?

FYI:
Remember playback position is for starting the audio file where it left off, (good for audiobooks), not which song the playlist was on.

How to set a loop on an .flv so that an exported .swf loops?

hi there. i am using Flash CS4 and I would like to know how to set a loop in an flv file so that when it is exported to swf, the movie will loop. Basically i have taken an existing interactive flash movie and have decompiled it into its individual flv counterparts. what i intend to do is take out all the nonsense from each flv file and then reconstruct the flash movie, export each file to swf and then convert each swf to avi or some other video format. to do this i will be using sothink swf to avi converter which allows you to convert swf files to avi files. this program allows you to convert swf files that loop by looping the swf file for as long as you want until you stop it, in which a video file is created from "the recording"
after i decompiled the original file, many of the existing flv files were already set to loop. i know this because when exported to swf the swf file would loop. now when i went ahead and went into each flv file to edit a couple things, when i went to export them to swf, the swf files wouldn't loop. mind you, some of them did loop, and some of them did not loop. the ones i have edited are all supposed to loop and i cannot figure out what it is thats preventing some of the flv or exported swf files to loop. all i did was take out a few unnecessary frames from the beginning of each flv and nothing more. i am pretty new to Flash and do not know anything about coding and know very little about flash settings.
i figured that selecting the "loop playback" option in the control drop down menu might help seeing as the flv file does loop when played in the editor, but again when exported to swf the swf file does not loop. what confuses me the most is that some of the exported swf files do loop. ALL of the exported swf files need to loop and my guess is that in order to make that happen, something in the flv file needs to be set correctly.
can someone please assist me with this issue? if there is a way to simply loop an existing swf file that does not loop, can someone tell me how to do that? any help with this problem is greatly appreciated and i appologize if something like this has been asked before.... i just couldnt stand looking through 22 pages of search results to find the exact solution to my problem
thank you!!!

Hi,
You can use shortDesc property. Something like
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Some Button"
id="ctb1" shortDesc="This button does something.."/>-Arun

Adobe Media Player Loop Playback

I'm playing back a .flv file created with the on2 vp6 codec
question: how can I get AMP to loop playback?
I looked in the playback tab under options but there is no option to set playback to loop.
AMP seems to be a very "consumerish" program- this is very disappointing
Hopefully I'm just not seeing this feature but it's there somewhere- anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I don't think you can set the player to loop. This option is not included.
If you really need to, export you movie to .mov and play it in QuickTime with loop enabled.

Export to Encore - loop playback

I'm really disappointed that PP CS4 doesn't have an "Export to Encore" like CS3. It was a quick and easy way to get things onto a DVD. I figured out how to go through File>Adobe Dynamic Link>send to Encore and do it manually. One big feature that the "Export to Encore" had was a box to check if you wanted to "loop playback." Which basically forced the disc to keep repeating without having to mess with the actual DVD player settings. I cannot figure out how to do that manually within Encore CS4 itself. Does anybody know how. Does it exist in CS4?

In the End Action setting for your Encore timeline, set it to that timeline. This tells Encore to author the DVD so that when the end of that timeline is reached, go back and start over. This sets up an infinite playback loop. That's all the "loop playback" checkbox did--though perhaps a little bit more clearly and elegantly.

Looping playback doesn't work

The WaveBurner manual says you can loop playback in Waveburner by dragging in the time ruler to create a cycle area (page 32 of the PDF manual). This used to work for me but no longer does. Dragging in the time ruler does zilch.
Anyone else having this problem, or know a solution. Looping playback was very helpful for working with plug-in settings. I'm not sure when this functionality was lost. Possibly with the installation of 1.6.1?

Hi audiophile31,
Thanks for the solution! It's interesting to note that this only works in the TOP time ruler. The manual indicates it should work in either ruler (as I recall). And, you're right, the cursor does have to be close to the playhead.
Hopefully Apple will update the manual...or the program to be more intuitive. NOTE TO APPLE: It would be nice if there were an option (or default) to start the loop from the start position each time you hit the play button (rather than from where you left off in the loop). This was a feature requested in another string that I thought might be accommodated using the cycle loop (except I couldn't get it to work, hence my original posting). It would also be great to be able to set up two cycle areas and alternate between them by hitting option-play or some such command. I often import multiple mixes of a song and adjust plug-ins to compare the differences. Having two cycle areas I could alternate between would be really helpful in A/Bing the changes.

Loop Playback enabled or disabled at a glance?

Can't find the way to understand at a glance if Loop Playback is enabled or disabled. Is it possible that FCPX lacks an option like this?

Yes. It's only visible in View>Playback. Use feedback to request it.

How can I set one loop's frequency as a slave of another loop ?

I have 2 loops in parallel. The first runs at 500Hz. The AIread controls the frequency. How can I set the second one at 100Hz ? It is very easy to set it with local variable, but really not clean. The second loop must not use the CPU while waiting the next 100Hz tick. Is it possible ? I am trying to use occurrence, but the second loop will always (I think) use CPU while waiting next tick !
Is it possible to set one loop in one thread and the other one in another thread ? Then set each thread to a CPU (I use a bi-xeon PC)
Thanks

One solution is to place a case inside the loop which run at 500 Hz. Put
your 100Hz code inside the True case. Use the "Quot
ient & Remainder"
funtion and the iteration counter to execute the true case every fift
execution of the 500Hz loop.
This may not work if the 100Hz code use to much time, it will then delay
the 500Hz loop.
I would go for the occurences solution. The wait will use some CPU
resources while waiting but i don't think that should be any problem (when
done correctly).

Loop playback

How do you have AA CS 5.5 begin playback again at the beginning of the song when it reachs the end of the song? Or a selected portion of the song continually play when it reaches the end of the selected part? I've searched the menus and can't find it. I hope this hasn't been removed. Thanks.

That will work OK but there used to be a menu selection for selecting loop playback and I didn't have to worry about it. It did it automatically. In all versions dating back to 1.5 as I recall. Maybe that is missing from the latest version. Thanks for your reply.

Dolby Digital Auto Setting Doesn't Work w/4.4.2?

I have a bunch of old movies that were recorded in stereo, pre-Dolby, and of course, a bunch of newer in Dolby Digital. After upgrading to Apple TV iOS 4.4.2 yesterday, I now find that the Settings/Audio & Video/Dolby Digital/Auto setting no longer works.
I just started a new iTunes downloaded movie with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and noticed that it was playing in PCM stereo-only mode for some reason. I then tried a couple of other older iTunes downloaded movies with 5.1 sound, and they all were playing in the same old PCM stereo mode, as well. To get the new movie to play in 5.1 sound, I had to manually change the above Dolby Digital setting to ON.
A similar issue applies to older movies in pre-Dolby stereo. If the above setting is set to Dolby Digital ON, those older movies switch from normal stereo to Dolby Digital 1.0/Center channel only sound, so I have to either switch the Dolby Digital setting to OFF or back to Auto, which defaults to PCM stereo for everything now.
Is anyone else experiencing this change? The Auto function worked perfectly for me before this upgrade.
I'm using an Apple TV 2 with an optical connection to my audio amplifier. The movie is streaming over my wired gigabit Ethernet home network from my iMac.

Seems to be an issue for some of us since 4.4; see other thread.

[AA7+] [Windows] Set default text size for "auto" setting...

Good morning:
I was wondering if it is possible to set the default font size or specify a maximum font size
for the auto setting of the font size on a text field when using the auto setting?
Currently, if the font size is set to "auto" it defaults to 12 pt. text if multiline is checked on the Options tab.
If multiline is not checked on the Options tab, the font size will adjust to the height of the box.
I would like to have the multiline checked, specify "auto" for the font size, but have the auto font size be no larger than 8 pts.
It can go smaller than 8 pts. if there is too much text in the field, but should not be larger than 8 pts. because the other form fields are in 8 pt.
If someone has any suggestions on how to achieve this, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks!
Theresa

Thanks Jongware!
I'm aware of the many different forums and I thought I was posting it in the Acrobat Scripting forum.
That'll teach me to look where I post. I guess I'm the one that needs the glasses.
Take care!

"Set Locators by Regions" doesn't work

Hi all --
When I select "Set Locators by Regions" from the menu, or via a keyboard shortcut, nothing happens. It worked fine until last week.
Any idea how to fix this?

How to auto set one numeric test step's limits?

i want to auto set a numeric test step's limits ,the limit's value is got from one number control and one offset control in LV front panel of my programm.when i change the number control in my fronet panel of LV, and it will auto set the limits to my step in teststand.How to realize it? Using local variable or...?? pls help me and give me a example source code.thanks

Hi,
You should use the SetValNumber VI off of the TestStand Palette on your Controls Palette. The property you are trying to set is for the step and is identifed by the lookup string(s):
"Step.Limits.High", and "Step.Limits.Low"
Have a look at the examples inside of \Examples\AccessingPropertiesAndVariables\UsingLabVIEW\AccessingPropertiesAndVariables.seq.

How do I auto set stroke weight, stroke colors & fill color?

Hi,
I'd like to make it easier for our 100,000 designers to use AI to make custom products using a laser cutter.
Current Practice
Designers open our AI laser cutting design templates, add their designs using the AI settings our online pricing system can read, then upload their designs to our website for instant pricing, making and shipping.
The Problem
Designers have to manually setup AI with settings that can be read by our online pricing system. If they get these settings wrong, our system can not read their designs. So they are rejected and can not be priced or made. This happens more often that you'd imagine.
The Solution
Designers do not like design rejections. So I'd like to eradicate them by providing our designers with a version of AI that provides the following settings only:
* Set document to RGB
* Stroke weight = 0.01mm
* Stroke colors = RGB 0, 0, 255 and 255, 0, 0
* Fill color = RGB 0, 0, 0
This will mean designers have a very limited number of AI choices, with nothing to distract them or to get wrong. Which will result in less (or zero?) design rejections. And products made faster than before. Rejoice!
Question
How do we program our AI laser cutting design templates so that when they are opened in AI, they auto set AI settings as defined above?
Thanks so much.

Your first point - yes, that's what our system does currently. As a result designers get lots of 'how to fix' messages as a result of design rejections. We wish to reduce these rejections and resulting 'how to fix' messages by limiting their choices in AI - because this is where the problems are created.
Ok, yeah gotcha, so customers/designers think they do it right (cough/laugh) upload, then get surprised to find out they didn't by your upload system. That's kind of what I thought. I feel your pain. ;-) I sense you want to reduce this aspect to keep the customers/designers happy and thinking they do nothing but work magic all day right? ;-) So you don't want to lose customers in the midst of frustration of file rejection thinking there files are right and your system is certainly wrong, when in fact it's the opposite. Good luck explaining that to a designer however, right? ;-)
Ponoko wrote:
Your second point - You go on to talk about using a complex "action" we could distribute within the design templates. Although I suspect this is different, the path we're thinking is to include something in the templates that, when imported into AI, sets AI with the color palette we need, line weight we need. Possible?
As Monika hinted at you can't rigidly restrict or control what a user is allowed to do and use in Illustrator. You can try to reduce the parameters by saving the file as a Template.ait file, but even then they can muck about all day until they mess things up again, plus you have no control whatsoever even then as to whether they use fills, the stroke weights, etc. That is why I mentioned various things to manipulate the file once they deem it completed and ready to submit/upload. Basically a method to fix what they messed up or did incorrectly and instead set things as they should be for submission as I previously mentioned. I mentioned you may be able to create a complex Illustrator "action" action.aia that they run to process these requirements. I am not sure if such an action could be accomplished as all inclusive (perhaps though) otherwise you could as stated do it through scripting and a script they run: script.jsx to prepare the requirements, or an actual standalone helper app you create and provide like I mentioned above as well.
I see for CorelDRAW & Inkscape you require SVG, why not change that for Illustrator also so all your 2D app submissions are SVG based? Then manipulate the SVG server side, point out the changes and why and have the customer approve the new modified SVG Preview of the needed changes and move along with the process from there? Make all the requirement changes on the server by manipulating the SVG. You should have access to all of the requirements: RGB color model, stroke weight, stroke colors, fill colors, create font outlines, image tracing? I am just tossing out ideas here, get your programmers busy, tell them to stop playing video games and "make it so". ;-)
But even so, this then begs the question: What are you doing to circumvent the same issues for inept CorelDraw and Inkscape users?
Since, they have the same freedom to do things incorrectly and misaligned with the requirements, just as Illustrator users do.
Regardless though of the approach customers/designers may not like seeing certain things changed even minutely in trivial amounts and thusly be just as upset or up in arms with the changes to their pretty design files that they think were not needed in the first place, how dare you undermine them ;-). Same as seeing the file rejection from your system upon upload. Again I feel your pain. You have your Application/File requirements requirements stated nicely and plainly, it should be pretty easy for most, but sadly I guess not.

IPhone auto-set time is 1 min slow to time-server time.

I have the problem that my iPhone is 1 min slow... always (when auto-set by network). I live in the Portland Oregon area, and I do not believe the issue is with AT&Ts towers putting out the wrong time. As my co-workers with the 3G iPhone display the correct time. Why is this?

Still quite likely on AT&T's end. The time data is transmitted separately on the EDGE vs. the 3G networks. An iPhone 3G user in a recent thread described seeing different time/date on EDGE vs. 3G (toggling the 3G access on and off).
