Best practices for creating video covers

I'm looking to create custom video cover pages that will serve as the main graphic at the begining of each article in an Annual Report DPS app I'm designing. The thought is to have a stylized image/poster that will seamlessly start playing a video full screen when touched. The subject in the video will start from this exact position and hopefully create the illusion of the image coming to life. I'm looking for best pracitices or some tips on making this happen. Here's a screen grabs to better explain what I trying to acheive.
Once you click on the video button the on screen graphics will fade out and the subject will begin to move. Thanks

You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
So that it won't ask for password.
Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

  • BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

    I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
    username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
    connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
    Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
    connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
    the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
    users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
    following message is displayed:
    The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
    because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
    password now to continue.
    I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
    worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
    analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
    password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
    http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
    any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
    When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
    SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
    For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
    Connections:
    Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
    Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
    Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
    My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
    Connections.
    Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
    Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
    So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
    display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
    the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
    will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
    SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
    SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
    connection.

    You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.

  • What is the best practice for creating primary key on fact table?

    what is the best practice for primary key on fact table?
    1. Using composite key
    2. Create a surrogate key
    3. No primary key
    In document, i can only find "From a modeling standpoint, the primary key of the fact table is usually a composite key that is made up of all of its foreign keys."
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16579/logical.htm#i1006423
    I also found a relevant thread states that primary key on fact table is necessary.
    Primary Key on Fact Table.
    But, if no business requires the uniqueness of the records and there is no materilized view, do we still need primary key? is there any other bad affect if there is no primary key on fact table? and any benifits from not creating primary key?

    Well, natural combination of dimensions connected to the fact would be a natural primary key and it would be composite.
    Having an artificial PK might simplify things a bit.
    Having no PK leads to a major mess. Fact should represent a business transaction, or some general event. If you're loading data you want to be able to identify the records that are processed. Also without PK if you forget to make an unique key the access to this fact table will be slow. Plus, having no PK will mean that if you want to used different tools, like Data Modeller in Jbuilder or OWB insert / update functionality it won't function, since there's no PK. Defining a PK for every table is a good practice. Not defining PK is asking for a load of problems, from performance to functionality and data quality.

  • What is the best practice for creating master pages and styles with translated text?

    I format translated text all the time for my company. I want to create a set of master pages and styles for each language and then import those styles into future translated documents. That way, the formatting can be done quickly and easily.
    What are the best practices for doing this? As a company this has been tried in the past, but without success. I'd like to know what other people are doing in this regard.
    Thank you!

    I create a master template that is usually void of content, with the exception I define as many of the paragraph styles I believe can/will be used with examples of their use in the body of the document--a style guide for that client. When beginning a new document for that client, I import those styles from the paragraph styles panel.
    Exception to this is when in a rush I begin documentation first, then begin new work. Then in the new work, I still pull in those defined paragraph and or object styles via their panels into the new work.
    There are times I need new styles. If they have broader applicability than a one-off instance or publication, then I open the style template for that client and import that style(s) from the publication containing the new style(s) and create example paragraphs and usage instructions.
    Take care, Mike

  • Best Practices for creating reports/Dashboards from BW systems

    HI Gurus,
    Best  Practices of creating BO Dashboards / Xcelsisus from BW systems
    Prasad

    You can use the BICS connector that leverages BW queries directly.  It is listed in the Connection Manager as "SAP NetWeaver BW Connection".  You will need both the ABAP and Java stack and SSO configured between the two.  You will also need to have SAP GUI and BEx installed on the machine you are doing development on.  Note that dashboards using this connection can only be hosted in NW Portal for the time being until the next release of BI 4.x platform.
    Here are some links on getting started with the BICS connector:

  • Best MacBook for Creating Video

    I need help choosing the best MacBook for creating sports videos using either iMovie or Final Cut.  I currently us a Mac Mini but I want to purchase a laptop to be more mobile.

    Any layer may be replaced with new footage by simply selecting the layer you want to replace in the composition, then selecting the new footage in the project panel, then holding down the Alt/Option key and dragging the new footage to the composition.
    If you want to automate the process of replacing footage you'll have to use a script.
    If you want to use a project as a template then simply copy the template file in it's folder and paste it into a folder that contains the same structure as the template. IOW, the folders should look like this:
    Template Project
         >template.aep
         >Footage
    New project
         >copiedtemplate.aep
         >Footage
    Your footage has to have the same filename as the original template project.
    You can also save an AE project as a template (aet) project. That's what they are doing on siges like Video Hive. The template isn't easily overwritten so it maintains the work. Then you simply add your footage using the first technique that I talked about.

  • What are some of your best practices for using videos in your marketing campaigns?

    As video becomes more and more popular, what are some best practices you have for effectively using video in your marketing campaigns? Any cool examples?

    Just saw this topic.
    We use video a great deal in our campaigns.  One of our best ones though was for an offering that the written word couldn't convey as quickly, succinctly, or visually even with graphics that a short commercial could do.  We therefore created a simple video with professional VO work and blasted it out via email and social networks.  The video clearly communicated our product and it's value to our prospects.
    In return we got a enormous response of form submits from individuals wanting to download the products overview documentation.  It is still one of our most watched videos.
    We are now looking at adding in more value-add videos to go along with the current 'product information' stable to help generate more soft-sell opptys.
    We are firm believers in using video.  You can't just put anything out there and expect just because it is a video to do well.  You must plan it carefully, think the messaging and value offered through just as much as any outbound offering.  Time is still valuable and your prospects are always asking what's in it for me.  Once they get something that they believe wastes their time, they will be more skeptical in the future regarding your videos or any messaging.
    Keeping trust and relevance is essential to generating value with video.

  • Best practice for creating RFC destination entries for 3rd parties(Biztalk)

    Hi,
    We are on SAP ECC 6 and we have been creating multiple RFC destination entries for the external 3rd party applications such as Biz-talk and others using TCP/IP connection type and sharing the programid.
    The RFC connections with IDOC as data flow have been made using Synchronous mode for time critical ones(few) and majority through asynchronous mode for others. The RFC destination entries have been created for many interfaces which have unique RFC destinations with its corresponding ports defined in SAP. 
    We have both inbound and outbound connectivity.with the large number of RFC destinations being added we wanted to review the same. We wanted to check with others who had encountered similar situation and were keen to learn their experiences.
    We also wanted to know if there are any best practices to optimise on number of RFC destinations.
    Here were a few suggestions we had in mind to tackle the same.
    1. Create unique RFC destinations for every port defined in SAP for external applications as Biztalk for as many connections. ( This would mean one for inbound, one for outbound)
    2. Create one single RFC destination entry for the external host/application and the external application receiving the idoc control record to interpret what action to perform at its end.
    3. Create RFC destinations based on the modules it links with such as materials management, sales and distribution, warehouse management. This would ensure we can limit the number of RFC to be created and make it simple to understand the flow of data.
    I have done checks on SAP best practices website, sap oss notes and help pages but could not get specific information I was after.
    I do understand we can have as unlimited number of RFC destinations and maximum connections using appropriate profile parameters for gateway, RFC, client connections, additional app servers.
    I would appreciate if you can suggest the best architecture or practice to achieve  RFC destinations in an optimized manner.
    Thanks in advance
    Sam

    Not easy to give a perfect answer
    1. Create unique RFC destinations for every port defined in SAP for external applications as Biztalk for as many connections. ( This would mean one for inbound, one for outbound)
    -> be careful if you have multi cllients ( for example in acceptance) RFC's are client independ but ports are not! you could run in to trouble
    2. Create one single RFC destination entry for the external host/application and the external application receiving the idoc control record to interpret what action to perform at its end.
    -> could be the best solution... its easier to create partner profiles and the control record will contain the correct partner.
    3. Create RFC destinations based on the modules it links with such as materials management, sales and distribution, warehouse management. This would ensure we can limit the number of RFC to be created and make it simple to understand the flow of data.
    -> consider this option 2.
    We send to you messagebroker with 1 RFC destination , sending multiple idoctypes, different partners , different ports.

  • Best Practice for creating Excel report from SSIS.

    I have a requirement to create an Excel report on a daily basis which pulls data from SQL. I have attempted to resolve this by creating a stored procedure to save the results in SQL, a template in Excel to hold the graphs & pivot tables and an SSIS package
    to copy the data to the template.
    Problem 1: When the data turns up in Excel it is saved as text rather than numbers.
    Problem 2: When the data turns up in Excel it appends the data rather than overwriting it.
    I resolved problem 1 by having another sheet which converts the text to numbers (=int(sheet1!A1))
    I resolved problem 2 by adding some VB script to my SSIS package which clears the existing cells before copying the data
    The job runs fine, however when I schedule the job to run overnight it complains "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID". A little googling tells me that running the client side commands in
    my vb script (workSheet1.Range("A2:F9999").Clear(), workBook.Save(), workBook.Close() etc) from a server side task is bad practice.
    So, I am left wondering how people usually get around this problem; copy a SQL table into an existing Excel file and overwrite the data, without having the numbers turn up as text. My requirements are that the report must display pivot charts with selectable
    options and be automatically updated overnight.
    Help appreciated,
    Bish.
    Office 2013 on my PC, Office 2010 on the server, Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise, SQL Server 2008R2.

    I think that the best practice in case like this is to Link an excel file to a view or directly to a table. So you don't have to struggle with changing template, with overnight packages, etc. If the data are too much complex and the desiderate too excessive
    then I tend to create a Cube and that's it...dashboard, graph and everyone is happy. In your case if the request is not too much try to don't use SSIS but directly build a view and point directly on SQL.
    SSIS is really strong for the ETL, to run some stored procedure too heavy, to use a cut time scheduled, etcetera , etcetera, etcetera...I love it. But sometimes we need to find the easier solutions...
    I hope this post helped you

  • The best practice for creating reports and dashboard

    Hello guys
    I am trying to put together a list of best practice on how to create reports and dashboards using OBIEE presentation service. I know a lot of those dos and donts are just corporate words that don't apply consistantly in real world environment, but still I'd like to know if Oracle has any officially defined best practice or not.
    the only best practice I can think of when it comes to building reports and dashboards is:
    Each subject area should contain only one star schema that holds data for a specific business information
    Is there anything else?
    Please advice
    Thanks

    Read this book to understand what a Dashboard is, what it should do and look like to be used by the end users. Very enlightentning.
    Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data by Stephen Few (There are a couple of other books by Stephen and although I haven't read them yet, I anticipate them to be equally helpful.

  • Best Practices for creating PDFs using PLPDF?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for Best Practices in making PDF files using PLPDF?
    I have been using it for about a month now, and the best that I have come up with is to use MS Access to prototype the layout of a report. Once I have all the graphics areas and text areas lined up how I would want them, I then write PLSQL code to create a procedure which is called from an HTMLDB page. MS Access is handy in that it provides the XY coordinates for each text area and graphics area. It also provides the dimensions of the respective cells. So long as I call plpdf.Init('P', 'in', 'letter') at the beginning of the procedure, both my MS Access prototype and my plpdf code are both using inches - this makes the translation relatively easy.
    Has anybody found anything else easier/better?
