Basic FCP Help for beginner

Thanks in advance for looking at my post.
I have a uni project whereby i have to make a music video for a song previously recorded.
I have videoed various shots of my band playing along to the recorded song.
They all start at different times (i.e start of video clip does not match with audio clip) yet i know that over the whole song they are in time with each other as i had the drummer play along to the recording using headphones.
So what im trying to do is load up all of the clips into FCP alongside the audio, adjust the start position for the various video clips so that they synchronise with the audio, and then lock them into place.
I would then like to cut them up into clips and move the parts that i want to use down onto the main video timeline so that they are in time with the audio.
I am mainly encountering problems with having to render these 3 minute video clips just to see if they line up with the audio which is a very time consuming process. Is there any way to use the markers and tell them to lock together, that is put a marker on the audio timeline, put markers on each video clip at the same point and line them up/snap them into place.
Any help would be much appreciated, as i mentioned in the subject i am a complete apple/FCP beginner having only done basic videos where i didnt need to have such synchronicity between audio and video.
Also on a side note when i load up the video clips into the timeline, they creat new lines V2,V3 and so on. Am i right in assuming that V1 is the final rendered timeline, or does FCP show all of the V# if they have footage on them?
Tl:dr help

Thanks for the response, i have looked at a few video tutorials, but i cant find one that deals with multiple video takes over a common audio take.
Are v2,3 etc slates to load up video before aligning/cutting and placing onto V1 (the main video sequence)??
With regards to this video

Am i right in assuming once i have lined up all the video clips to sync with the audio i can set in and out markers on the video clips to tell FCP to use the sections that i want of each take?

Intuos/Photoshop Help for Beginner

Hey There,
I'm an absolute beginner with the Intuos and not much better with Photoshop, so please forgive me if this question is a little basic for this forum. I'm going to be using the Intuous and Photoshop (or maybe Corel Painter) for a research project evaluting a computerized administration of some tests of visual perception and visual memory. I'm looking to create a permanent record of the study subjects' drawing processes, such that I could play back their individual pen-strokes in real-time, and preferably with the option to speed-up, slow down etc. Is this something that would be possibly with Photoshop? I spoke with someone at Wacom who said they were fairly sure that Photoshop or Painter did this, but they weren't sure which one.
Thanks much.

You can keep a text log of every action made in Photoshop but you will not have a record of how the user is drawing with the pen.
I would look into Camtasia which keeps a video record of all activity on the screen. It is used by many professionals to produce tutorials.

Help for beginner: Need labview signal to power on =2 actuators of 8 with one power supply

I am a beginner in using labview. I need to use labview signal to turn on >=2 ac 8 actuators with one power supply. The 24VDC, 0-3A power supply is enough to drive all 8 actuators which need 24VDC and 0.1A current. So the main function is like turning on 2 or more than 2 switches in series with the 8 actuators with one power supply. Any suggestion of some simple module for this purpose? Thanks.

Maybe I didn't say the question clear. I have one power supply (24VDC, 0-3A) and 8 solenoid valves (24VDC and 0.1A). Two valves (or more than two in future) have to be activated each time. I would like to find something that can work like switches installed in series with the valves. Then I can wire the valves (with the switches) in parallel with the power supply. As I turn the switches on and off with signals from Labview board, power to that specific valve will be turned on and off.
Any advice for this kind of switches or any module that can be controlled by Labview signal? Please help! Thanks.

Basic script help for a newbie?!?!

Need help with a basic script, I need to display 5 input fields in a single dynamic field. And i need them to have a certain order of display, ie: input 1 is displayed on line 1, 2 on the next line, etc. any help would be appreciated

Show what you have tried so far that give you the results where you either replace fields or can't get vars to populate them with a button.

Going to Previous Tracks- Help for beginner

Due to the length of my project and the need for chapter markers, instead of making one long track with over 100 markers, I've created 20 tracks with six or more markers per track. My problem is, if I am on Track 6-Ch. 1, I want to press the back button on my remote to go back to Track 5- Ch. 5. I'm sure there's an easy solution that I'm missing, but I've been missing it for awhile now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why not make one track? I don't understand why you would rather make 20 tracks with six markers... can you offer more details?
Why don't you just drag all 20 video clips into the one Track (timeline)? Then it's all the same timeline in the same track and all yer chapter markers will work backward and forward.
This would be way easier than getting into stories and or scripting.
If I'm misunderstanding what you are attempting to achieve, I apologize, let me know.
Cheers!

Help for beginner! Photo gallery

I have found 2 templates in a free website
Here is the attachment:
www56.zippyshare.com/v/98974987/file.html
The problem I have encountered is that I have no idea in removing the stack gallery after I click the return to main menu button. Maybe you have to spend some time on the logic of the templates. But I really hope you guys can be patient to help.
Well, to be honest, I have tried whole day finding out the method through google and video tutorials. Fortunately, I think I can handle in loading the stack gallery in the first page. Like using XML codes or loading .swf.
But still can't remove/unload the gallery after I hit the return button.
So please generous guys can give me your ideas.

something like this...not quite working
function updateSlide() { // load photo, update caption and status fields
setTimeout(targetPhoto.loadPhoto(photos[currentIndex], 2000);
caption = captions[currentIndex];
statusField = (currentIndex+1) + "/" + totalSlides;

Search help for Asset Class in LDB ADA

Hi,
I have a requirement to restrict values in certain search help.
It is Z transaction for Z SAP Query which has logical database ADA under itself.
The field which search help I should restrict is Asset Class.
As I found in LDB ADA, it is select option SO_ANLKL with type ANLAV-ANLKL. It leads me to search help SH_ANLKA which is defined for domain ANLKL.
But actually, another search help is called. It looks like SH_ANKA, but I don't know if it is right one.
I have two problems:
1. How to identify what search help is called?
2. How to restrict values in search help or maybe how to attach Z search help in this case (should I attach in query or is there a way to enhance LDB)?
As I am new both to SAP Query and LDB's I am not sure where to start.
Tnx in advance,
Natasa

Solved.
For those who face the same problem, here is the solution.
LDB ADA creates basic search help for select options Asset Class by reading ANKA-ANLKL and ANKT-TXK20.
Output list can be restricted by adding an enhancement at the end of FM DD_SHLP_GET_HELPVALUES and changing the internal table OUTPUT_VALUES.
If necessary, it can be conditioned by TCODE and for this purpose parameter can be set in the enhancement of FM DD_SHLP_CALL_FROM_DYNP by reading content of the field HELP_INFOS-TCODE.

Natasa

Where can I download fcp rescue for 4.5 or need help with crashing

Hi guys,
I'm still running 4.5 and haven't had a lot of problems with it in the past 2 years. I can't get the program to open today however. It keeps getting stuck on "profiling for rt extreme". I've trashed all the preferences, rebooted, and searched this forum for answers, but am still having problems.
In one post I found a link for fcp rescue, but it looks like they've taken off old versions of the program. I can only download for fcp 5.
Does anyone know where I could still download this program from FCP 4.5? or Can anyone suggest trying something other than trashing preferences or reinstalling?

FCP Rescue for Four and 4.5 are the same program.
As to your issue, I'd make sure you don't have any errant USB/FW devices plugged in. And I believe you get the Profiling for RT Extreme when there are no preferences, so it would seem that you've done that part right...

Structuring Help for Many Apps and Agile Development

Hi Guys
I am starting to evaluate RH9 (with server) and am lookign for seom advice on structuring help.
We produce a management information system, which comprises 17 apps.
We have major release versions: e.g. 4.9, 5.0 and then sub builds (e,g. 4.9.0.23)
Most sub builds contain new features that require documentation. We do agile dev, so we are producing new builds every few weeks. This means we can't just produce documentation for major releases (e.g. v4 and v5). This is waht we do right now, but it means it's always out of date
My initial project is to setup the master pages and css and import the Word manuals into RH and do any necessary cleanup. We will initially publish web help and "printed" (PDF) documentation from this, but eventually want to link into our applications (initially on the help menu and them adding context sensitive help).
So if a user is running 5.0.0.23 of Inventory Management and goes to the help menu, I want them to be able to get to the documentation for that specific build.
So, from a documentation point of view, how do I manage all of this?
Do I put it all under one project or one project per app or per major version or build? My main concern is that we can literraly have 100's of different builds in use by customers, so if we change the documentation for feature X, all users on relevent builds get the updated documentation.
We are keen to get user feedback and improve areas that require improvement, so let's say a user says the documentation for setting up warehouse locations is not very good. This feature has been around since version 1.0, so we want to update it's documentation and have it available to all current versions (4.x and 5.x). Is there a way to setup the documentation such that I can flag parts of it to specific versions. Using the above example, I want users on all versions and all builds to get the updated version; however, if we change the way locations are managed in 5.0.0.23, how do I ensure that everyone on 5.0.0.22 and below gets version A and everyone on 5.0.0.23 and above gets version B? Clearly, I don't want an entire project for each build (e.g. 5.0.0.23); otherwise, I'd have to make the smae update dozens of times if it's documentation on an existing feature .
One other thing to consider: related topics can be in other apps. For example in App 1, a related topic might be something in App 2.
Any pointers greatfully appreciated
Regards
Mark

What you describe is similar to what we are doing currently, with a few notable exceptions. Two of us maintain a large number of online user's guides that are published both as Webhelp (25 projects merged into one parent help system) and as standalone .docx and .pdf files. We are also using Agile. Our company offers two or three major releases per year (2011.1, 2011.2, 2011.3) with one or two patch releases for each major release (2011.1.1, 2011.1.2, etc).
Our customers also use different versions--some are still on last year's release (possibly earlier), while others install the latest version as soon as it's available.
A few things you may want to consider:
1. We've had limited success importing Word documents directly into Robohelp--the HTML invariably gets screwed up with a bunch of extra codes from Microsoft. We've found we have better control over the help files if we simply copy the Word text to Notepad and then copy and paste the stripped-down text to Robohelp, where we create topics, apply styles, insert hyperlink, and import images. This method of converting text from Word to RH takes longer initially, but seems to work better in the longer term, especially if the original document had nested lists or complex tables. FWIW, doing the conversion is relatively mindless work--the kind of task that is great to do at the end of a long week when your mind is numb from writing.
2. The start pages for each of our 25 projects are linked to their corresponding modules in the software (users can click the Help icon or press F1 to see the online help for the module or to access the entire help system). However, we do not offer true context-sensitive help.
3. We use the same source control system that is used by our software developers and check our Robohelp files into the same mainline code branch--this means that up-to-date documentation accompanies each release from mainline. Typically, we do not update the help files in our patch branches, since this would mean duplicate work (after updating the help in the patch branch, we'd have to make the same updates to the mainline branch). Instead, we use release notes to document any user interface or functional changes in patch releases. That said, the majority of our patch branches are for bug fixes, not enhancements, so they require only limited changes to the help.
4. Our entire help system is automatically generated during our nightly software build using the RHCL batch command. When customers install a new release of our software, the latest help files are automatically written to their computers.
5. After major releases only, we generate a revised Word/PDF file for each project and post those files on our customer support portal. Other than that, we make no attempt to provide improved documentation to customers who are using downlevel software. That is, if we need to rewrite the basic instructions for some task, we update the mainline branch for use with the next software release and all subsequent releases. I guess we figure that if our customers are interested in the latest and greatest instructions, they should spring for the cost of a software upgrade.

Upload Basic Data Text for Materials

Hi,
I'm trying to upload Basic Data Text for Materials using FM SAVE_TEXT. Everything works fine except long text. It is not accepting more than 132 charactors. What logic should I use so that it will append the remaining text for the same material on the other line?
Please help !!!
Thanks.

If your text is longer than 132 characters, you have to wrap the text into multiple lines (FMs you should be using are FORMAT_TEXTLINES & RKD_WORD_WRAP).
Search in SDN for details on these FMs.
BR,
Suhas
PS: You can also explore uploading the material long texts using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. Uploading Basic Data Longtext into Material Master
