Background matte for DSP transitions

Using the fire burst in Motion and trying to find out how to create and export a background matte to use in DSP for that transition. i have the fireburst.mov done and now trying to figure out how to create the fireburst-matte.mov for the other part of my transition. Thanks

Well, I halfway solved it using a workaround. Rather than having the Start transition asset being Default, I made a still of the main screen, and set that to be it. The only disadvantage is that the main menu is in motion so the action pops to the still, interrupting the animation. But this is what happens anyway with all the built-in transitions, which is why I guess they're not the best thing to use with motion menus.
Still, I don't really understand why there's a mismatch. It seems like a flaw or bug in the way DVDSP converts a video frame to a still on the fly, because, again, the background clip is progressive, not interlaced.

  • How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

    Hi All,
    I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
    Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
    I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
    Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
    Your inputs are valuable.
    Thanks in Advance,

    It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
    I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
    NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
    To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
    Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
    If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
    I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
    One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
    Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
    Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
    Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.

  • Can't see my iTunes library when selecting background music for a slideshow

    I don't see my iTunes library when I'm selecting background music for a slideshow -- I have tried using iphoto help (seee below) and it didn't work:
    "If you don't see your iTunes library:
    Quit both iTunes and iPhoto. Relaunch iTunes first, then iPhoto.
    If you recently installed iLife software, it's a good idea to open each application in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD. Because these applications are integrated to browse and import files from each other's media libraries, this ensures that you will be viewing the most up-to-date versions of your music library, photo library, and movies folder no matter what application you're using.
    Recreate your iTunes Music Library.xml file. Quit iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose Go > Go to Folder. Type "~/Music/iTunes" or "~/Documents/iTunes" and click Go. Drag the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to your desktop. Open iTunes and create a new playlist by choosing File > New Playlist. Quit iTunes and open iPhoto to make sure you can see your iTunes library when creating a slideshow."
    Any suggestions?
    MacBook1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   using itunes 7.0.2 (15) and iphoto 6.0.5 (316)
    MacBook1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   versions: itunes 7.0.2 (15) iphoto 6.0.5 (316)

    I have this problem also - tried following advice giving from original problem.
    My settings are through the what I call the Lug Nut icon - no arrows and no dimple showing on my screen.
    Is there some small thing I'm missing here - weird thing is that iDVD allows me to access my iTunes library - no problem.
    When I go to Finder it tells it can't find my Music folder??? I can see it in the sidebar .....
    Any suggestions - I don't know how to send those screen shots but what a great idea.

  • Set property for  background color for JButton

    I am attempting to change the colors of the UI for JButton. The change does not appear to be taking. The reason appears to be that JButton, and for that matter JLabel setOpaque(false); How can I globally change this to setOpaque(true);
    Second is there a way to save the default property hash table after the changes are made so that it will run the next time the program is executed.

    Thank you for responding. I don't feel that I have been clear in the statement of the problem. I have written a medium size desktop application(20,000 statements). I am trying to customize the color scheme by modifying the default laf properties color entries. I can modify JPanel through a put to the properties hash table. When I attempt to change the background color for JLabel and JButton it doesn't seem to take. I believe that the reason it doesn't take is because opaque(false). Is there a property that allows the overide of opaque to true or do I have to change all of the numerous JButtons in my program.
    I have decided to store all changes in a file and make the changes at the point that the program initializes each time its run.
    I am not looking for specific code but an approach.
    I would appreciate your advice.

  • Titles with background matte

    I'm working on a bi-lingual doco with lots of subtitles, using 'Text' in the text generator of FCP... I'd like to create an opaque background matte but it seems this isn't an option - although it's available for 'lower third' text... I've already done half of the titles and we're approaching deadline - I'd really like a means of quickly applying a background matte to the existing titles/footage... does anyone know of a way? It seems bizarre that it's not an option... and that, if it were an option, each change has to be applied individually rather than select and apply to all...

    where are you placing the color matte? it needs to be on a separate video track, between your video layer and your subtitles layer eg
    v3 subtitles
    v2 color matte (strap)
    v1 background video
    you need to make sure that all three layers are visible ... sorry for stating the obvious but you may have mistakenly toggled monitoring off for the matte track and/or toggeled off the 'Enabled' property for that clip (right click the clip in the timeline and check that "Clip Enabled" has a tick next to it)
    also make sure that you have not mistakenly cropped the matte out of existence, or set the opacity to 0% ... in this regard it may be more useful to start again
    cheers

  • Can we change the selection criteria for RV60SBAT Background Job for Billin

    We have a requirement to add a new selection criteria for RV60SBAT Background Job for Billing. We want to process back order invoices first. So we want a specific background job to select these. So we want to select any orders that are eligible to be invoiced where order date < the date of background job(r sy-datum ). Any ideas where we can introduce this logic for selection criteria?
    Thanks,
       Matt

    Hi Matt
    For your requirement , copy the standard  RV60SBAT program to Z program and in that copied RV60SBAT program , maintain the logic that the backorder invoices should be first processed.Then after that regular background job for billing should take happen .Then your requirement can be fulfilled

  • Background color for column heading

    Hi,
    I have 5 columns in my report and I would like to have different background color for column headings. How can I do this in report templates?
    I was looking at Column heading section-
    <th class="t10ReportHeader"#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
    How can I specify backgrund colors for all columns here?
    Thanks in advance

    G'day Karen,
    Thanks for ur reply.
    I have seen this note before, its not that the header colors have changed after latest SP was applied in our systems. Also the ABAP and JAVA stacks are in sync.
    Scenario is that we are trying to set up a new Portal theme for Enterprise Reporting with some specific color codes (hex codes).
    What i have observed is Characterstics Header background color is set up using the element "Background Color of Level 1 Column Heading ".
    While the Background color for Key Figures header is using element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading ".
    But the problem is element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading " is also used as the Background color for Standard Characterstics cell, so if we make it same the whole report of the same color, which we dont want.
    Requirement is to get the same Background color for Header cells (both Char. and Key Figure headers).
    Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Program works but background job for that program fails....

    I have a requirement where I have to collect the details of the purchase order and put the details in XML file format and FTP the XML file to an external third party FTP Server.
    To realize this I developed a report program which follows following logic.
    1)     First I collected the PO details by calling the BAPI BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1.
    2)     Then using the following link "/people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
    I converted these PO details to the XML file format that the third party people accept.
           In the code I used u201CCALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_downloadu201D and in this process first the XML file is generated and is getting stored on my deskytop.
    3)     Then I called HTTP_SCRAMBLE, FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND , FTP_DISCONNECT and RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE.
    This works perfectly well and each time I execute the report the file is getting FTPu2019ed to the third party FTP server.
    Now I tried to schedule a batch job for this and the batch job fails with follwing errors
    02/25/2009 15:08:47 Error in Control Framework

  • Can ABAP proxy to consume WSDL file be run as background job for every10min

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement where I need to build an interface which gatheru2019s the purchase order details and send to external third party software in their required format (as an XML file).
    So I should be the first point of contact and should trigger the interface each time a purchase order is generated.
    So I am thinking that I should develop a background job for every 10 minutes which will look for new purchase orders and gathers the information of the purchase orders and send them to external third party software in their required format.
    I have gone through all the SAP forums and e-Learning but still I have confusion in regards to how is it possible technically? Can some one guide me with some information on the same.
    I have a little bit of confusion and want to know few things.
    1)     Should I create a web service or should I consume a web service?
    2)     If I need to consume a web service, then can I write an ABAP proxy to be run in background fro evry 10 minutes? I mean can we run ABAP proxy as a batch job in the background?
    3)     Is there a difference between consuming an XML file and WSDL File?
    Any Help will be highly appreciated.

    There are two options (as I know) to generate XML file.
    1. Use XML TRANSFORMATION to get the XML string based your TRANSFORMATION. You can input your data and get back the XML string. Download this string to a file
    Test XML generation program is:
    types: begin of ty_data,
           num   type i,
           end   of ty_data.
    DATA: itab TYPE standard table of ty_Data,
          la_data like line of itab,
          xmlstr TYPE string.
    DO 3 TIMES.
      la_data-num = sy-index.
      APPEND la_data TO itab.
    ENDDO.
    CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np1
      SOURCE table = itab
      RESULT XML xmlstr.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DISPLAY_XML_STRING'
      EXPORTING xml_string = xmlstr.
    My ZTEST_NP1 transformation. To create a transformation, click on the transformation in the "CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np1" statement. Select Simple transformation type.
    <?sap.transform simple?>
    <tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
      <tt:root name="table"/>
      <tt:template>
        <table>
          <tt:loop ref=".table">
            <item>
              <tt:value ref="NUM"/>
            </item>
          </tt:loop>
        </table>
      </tt:template>
    </tt:transform>
    XML string is like:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
      <table>
      <item>1</item>
      <item>2</item>
      <item>3</item>
      </table>
    To use this option, you have to create a transformation and than use it to generate the XML string.
    Check this SAP Help
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e3/7d4719ca581441b6841f1054ff1326/frameset.htm
    2. You can concatenate and create an XML string and download that string into a file.

    Im working on a vi that I plan on using as part of an alarm system.  I would like to use a JPEG file of my house as a background image for the vi, or possibly to just be displayed in a window on the control panel.  I have seen people use their own images before, but never looked at what this involved.
    Im trying to use the "read JPEG file" vi and the "draw flattened pixmap" vi to accomplish this.  The vi does run, but nothing shows on the front panel.  If I try to create an indicator from the "new picture" output of the "draw flattened pixmap" vi, I get an empty white window on the front panel.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    the earlier vi (using the JPEG) works fine. just increase the size of the picture control
    I figured this was the problem. And to the OP, I'm glad a bitmap worked, but no I didn't mean use any sort of LabVIEW programming at all. I meant open your image in Microsoft Paint, Press ctrl+A to select the whole thing. Then copy the image to the clipboard. Now select your front panel and press ctrl + v to paste it. No programming needed and the image is there. However, if you want to programmatically change it, you will need a picture control.

  • How to create a background image for each item in a List object

    Hello.
    I am trying to create a background image that displays whenever a user posts something to a list.  For example when a user posts text it would appear in a list.  The new item in the list would contain a specific background image with the users text appearing on top of the background image.  I do not want a background image for the entire list, rather each item within the list.
    I am not sure how clear this is so I added an image below.  When a user enters text in and clicks the "post-it" button their text would appear below with the sticky note background. 
    I am not sure which list type would be best for this problem or how to create insert the image, so I am open to suggestions. 
    Thank you for your help.  Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    the easiest way would be with itemRenderer.
    You have to do two things:
    1. In your list declaration use a item renderer: <mx:List itemRenderer="myRenderer"/>
    2. create a flex component myRenderer that will be the single item. This can be a canvas with a background image and a text field on it.
    When you add a new item to the list, a new myRenderer item will be created and the data property will be passed to it. So you have to put "data" in your textField.
    If you need more help try looking at Tour de Flex samples, they're pretty easy.
