Best way to put 3D effect on logo?

I am using FCP Studio and on most video I work on there is some sort of 3D fly in of the companies logo at the beginning of the video. when I was using Pinnacle Liquid, I would just add a 3d effect to the logo and adjust the parameters inside the effect. Now on FCP, what is the best way to animate a logo? Do I add a "Basic 3D" filter in the Perspective folder in the effects menu? This seems a little clunky because you have to go to different tabs (filter and motion) to do the adjusting. Would I want to use motion for this? Sorry if these are simple questions, but I am just getting up to full speed on FCP.
Thanks for the help!
John Schenkel

Hi John,
Basic 3D will give you a 3D motion (x,y, and z space) but there is no depth to the object.
Boris Title 3D will give you the ability to fake depth but if you move the object around it's still 2D.
If you're looking for a fly in you should explore After Effects, Boris Grafitti, Zaxwerks, or 3D Studio Max.
I'm hopeful Apple will include some sort of simple 3D titling or objects in the next version of FCP or Motion.

Is This The Best Way To Put iMovie Effects On An FCE Clip?

I have often suggested to other people that they should export clips from FCE to iMovie in order to make use of certain iMovie effects that FCE can't do.
As with most things there are several different ways of "transporting" the clips.
Bearing in mind that we want the quickest/lossless method possible, is this the best?
1. In the FCE Timeline double-click the clip.
2. Select File>Export>QuickTime Movie and click "Save".
3.Open a new iMovie Project, import the newly made QuickTime Movie clip and add the necessary effect.
4. Back in FCE, Import the QuickTime Movie from the iMovie Project.
Is this in fact the best way or do you know of a better/quicker one?
Ian.

Thanks for the confirmation, Tom.
By "clip" I was actually meaning a few seconds of video I had chopped up on the timeline.
What caught me out initially was when I simply highlighted the 10 second "clip" and selected QuickTime Movie.
The estimated time for conversion was around 10 minutes! It was actually making a QT Movie of the complete Sequence, not just the selected "clip". I soon realised that the "clip" needed double-clicking to ensure that only the required 10 seconds were converted.

What is the best way to put various songs into one album?

I have been adding album information and album artwork within iTunes to take advantage of cover flow, but i have a lot of songs in my music library that are "stand alone" songs - it is the only song from that artist. I want to put all of these songs together in one album, so all of my miscellaneous rock songs will be put into a Rock Music album or file. I want to do this to eliminate all of the grey boxes within cover flow for all of these songs. When i give the files all the same album name (Rock Music) and album artist (Various Artists) it still does not put them all together within iTunes. It will do it for some, but not all.
What is the best way to put all of these miscellaneous songs into the same album?

Try marking all the tracks as part of a compilation. Click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last. Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes. Change compilation at the bottom of the window to Yes.

Filter or Restrict on? Which is the best way to put it?

Hello Experts,
If there is a Characteristic/Key figure on a report in BEx, and I right click on it and find another data element say, 0FISPER it I EDIT. On right click on 0FISPER I a variable.
My question is this, do we way that the key figure is RESTRICTED ON 0FISPER
or, key figure is FILTERED by 0FISPER
When do we use Filter or Restrict on? Which is the best way to put it? How best is it read, please include the variable in your discussion.
I will appreciate this clarification.
e.g. Company code EDIT shows Company codes ZPPTcomp: with nodes 8000, 9000
Thanks.

Hi Amanda,
as per my understanding,
you are checking the structure field, you have selected edit then you are viewing a key figure and 0fiscper restricted by varaible. am I right?
if this is the case this is local selection and the key figure is restricted by fiscper variable means the restriction value user can enter in selection screen. if you select 0fiscper and select restrict there you can see single values, value range and you can also see varaible tab. by using varaible tab you can restrict to variable value.
hope this gives you some understanding.

Best Way to Export After Effects File and Save Transparency

Hi all-
A pretty simple question. I need to export a file from After Effects and keep the alpha channel so I can superimpose it on some video in FCE. What is the best way to export it?
I recall hearing people mention that the Animation Codec with "Millions of Colors+" is the best way to go about doing it, in which case I'd just have to render it within FCE. Is that correct? If so, are there any other settings I should tweak to get a high quality file that will work with FCE?
Thanks.

Hi -
Animation Millions+ will deliver an extremely high quality file with the alpha channel. You will need to render once in FC.
Hope this helps.

Best way to put system and apps (home directory?) on new SSD?

I just installed a new 115 GB SSD in slot 2 of my MacPro (early 2008). I have not initialized yet. I want to make that my Boot Drive. I have Carbon Cloner and have cloned my entire old HD onto an external so far. What is the best way to get my system and apps onto the SSD. I'm guessing Carbon Cloner will let me clone parts of my HD and not make me clone all of it but I don't yet know how to do that. Do I just clone my apps folder and then my system folder one at a time? What do I do with the Library? I cannot clone my entire HD onto the SSD first because it will not fit and I do not want my data on there anyway. I have read that I should also put my home directory on the boot but this is now confusing me. I plan on partioning the erased HD into fast and slow, then putting my User folder from the external back on there. I am the only one using the computer so I do not have issues with Users and all my apps are in the main hard drive app folder but I have noticed that I have things in both my Library folders (main HD and my home). Should I put all items in one of them, main or home? before I do this? I never understood why I have items in both folders since I am the only user and all the apps are on main. Thanks.

What is the best way to put a movie on a DVD?

I want to put my movie on a DVD and show it on the TV. What is the best way to do this?

Yes, you can put more than one movie on a DVD, as long as the total length of both together is not over 2hrs for single-layer DVDs.
I know what you mean about it taking so long for the burning....my DVDs are usually just close to 2hrs, so taking 12-14hrs to burn is not unusual for me. I just do it overnight, and it is finished in the morning. I 'save to disc image' first, and then do the burning from Disk Utility.
Trust me, I've tried everything I can think of to be able to.
I am surprised that you cannot get your movies exported back to DV tapes with your camcorder. I looked up its specs, and it shows it has Firewire port, so you should be able to export. I would pursue this further....
Have you tried saving your movies as QuickTime Full-Quality and then importing that into a new iMovie and exporting that? You will need to have more free space to copy the movie, but once you have made the QT movie, you can delete the original one, and you can delete the QT one after the export. Also, it may take a LOOOONNNGGG time for the compression/process necessary to create the QT movie, and somewhat long for the import into iMovie, but I have found that iMovies that would not export to my camcorder in their original form exported easily after I made the QT one.

Best way to create 'squash' effect in AS3

Hello all, I was just wondering what the best way to distort an object using AS3 is? I am creating a game which involves a ball-like object bouncing off several hard surfaces, ideally I'd like the ball to squash on impact (think of a soft rubber ball 'squashing' as it hits off something) and I wasn't sure what the best way to do this was? It may hit off of surfaces at any angle, so it won't simply be hitting off a horizontal plane from above otherwise I'd just use the scale funtion.
Cheers for any help with this one!

add the ball to an empty parent. by changing the position of the ball (in the parent), you can use scaleX and scaleY to deform your ball in a realistic manner.

Servlet Design -- Best way to put it all together?

Hi,
I m currently beginning programming servlets and have built a number of individual servlets however now I wish to join them together, I find that Im a bit stuck with the best way to stick everything together.
I m building a portal to interface with a web service. I have a servlet which submits a job to the web service, another servlet which gets the status of a job/all users jobs (and allows them to cancel/hold/release jobs) and another servlet to download the output files. I have an address of the scheduler which I wish to share between all of the servlets (so if one servlet finds the scheduler isnt there, it can call requerySchedd() to find the new Scheduler address). Is there a way to enable this object to be shared by all of the servlets?
I was planning on having 2 individual pages for this portal
1. A submission page.
2. A status and results page.
----> note theres 2 different kinds of job which have different attributes and behaviours once submitted.
How would I go about doing this is I have 3 servlets but only 2 (3 forms) pages, for example on page 2 , Would I be better splitting it up into more servlets and more html pages?
Sorry if this a bit silly, but I d like some advice before I start something complicated or plain dumb.
Many Thanks
Nathan

I agree with Tom. iBooks Author will be overkill for this and add unnecessary complications
Unless all of your family have Macs, using Pages to create the document and then exporting to pdf will be most compatible and easy to use.

What is the best way to put links in an image?

Where did you get this page? It is a melange of ImageReady,
GoLive, and who
knows what else, loaded with invalid usages, and other
oddities....
Anyhow, the first link shows me no slice marks - what am I
looking for
there?
Normally, one would use an image map (use DW's F1 help to
look for
"hotspot") to do something like this.

What's the best way to put a programmatically sizeable transparent image onto a VI front panel

The problem is twofold: 1) how can programmatically read a transparent image (i.e. image with transparent background) and 2) how can I programmatically position and size that image onto a VI front panel. The best luck I had with item 2 was with a boolean custom control with an imported image. However, this control does not have a programmatic method for importing an image, so the image had to be manually cut&pasted into the custom control.

Hi,
If the image is static, it's possible. You can drop a metafile on the front
panel, and use Panel>Decorations> to get a reference to the image. Resize it
as desired.
Changing the image (e.g. from file) is not possible this way, but you can
put multiple images on the screen and change the visibility...
If you want to make a picture viewer, I'd consider an activex control (this
way you can load several picture formats without any programming).
Regards,
Wiebe.

Best way to compare the effect of an adjustment

In iPhoto, if I change any settings, such as exposure, I can press the shift key to quickly toggle back and forth between the 'before' and 'after' version. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to do the same thing in Aperture.
I know that I can press 'M' to flip back to the master image, but this has two problems: 1) If I've cropped the original image, then switching to the master doesn't keep me at the same place where I was zoomed into, and 2) I don't want to compare to the master, I just want to compare to the version just before I made the edit. So if I've made 4 adjustments, and then I make a 5th adjustment, I want to compare to the version with 4 adjustments, not the master (with no adjustments).
I also know that I can make a duplicate version of any photo and put them side by side. This is handy for some purposes, but this has problems too: 1) I don't want to have to create a new version every time I make any adjustment, just so that I can compare before and after, 2) it's several steps to arrange the two images side by side at the same zoom on the same section of the photo, which is very annoying to have to do for each adjustment, and 3) I'm working on a 15" MacBook Pro, so I really don't get to see much of my image when I have two versions side-by-side.
I've tried just using undo and redo, but that is so slow for large images that it's not useful for comparison purposes. I want to instantly flip back and forth between the two versions.
I would just suck it up and get over it IF iPhoto didn't have this exact feature - just press shift to compare to the previous version.

When I am adjusting an image using brushes I quit often compare the effect of the brush by toggling the "invert" action (from the cog wheel in the Brush HUD). This will switch between the image with the effect brushed in, and the image with the effect applied to the parts of the image that have not been brushed. It's not quite the same as in iPhoto, but it helps to judge the effect of a brushed in adjustment quickly

Best way to put flash background on website?

Hello,
I am very new to both after effects and flash and need some help with a few things.
I am trying to put a flash background on my website that will loop over and over.
I created the file in after effects but understand that it is best to export to flash to keep file size down.
I have tried exporting from after affects using F4L, FLV, and XFL and always seem to get a file size of 2-4 MB.
My video is only 8 seconds long and I exported at half resolution so I am unsure why it is so large.
How can I reduce the file size?
When I import F4L and FLV to flash and then export as an SWF file, the file does not work on my website(nothing shows). It seems to only work when I import as an XFL and then export as an SWF.
Also, how do I get the video to loop? Do I do this in flash or in the object tags in my website?
If anyone could please help me out that would be much appreciated.
Thanks and I look forward to your replies.

Don`t export to flv from after effects, instead choose png.
You will end up with having your pictures rendered as file001.png....file200.png.
Create a new fla press ctrl+F8 (on PC) and then import the first of the files (file001.png) to the stage. Flash will ask you if you want to import the rest of the animation as well.
Now from the Library you can drag your new created symbol (with the png loop) on stage. Publish it as swf.
Done

Best way to install Custom Effect into PresetEffects.xml on Mac?

Hi!
Can you advise me please the best and "proper" way to install (inject) my part of xml on Mac OS please?
In the best occasion - by Apple Script.
At this moment I made C++ based .exe installer, who reading the AE placement from Windows' registry and injecting a part of .xml text inside of PresetEffects.xml in folder .../Adobe After Effects CC/Support Files/
I would do similar in Mac now...
Thank you in advance!

When I say that a feature is "not supported", I mean that neither I nor any other Adobe person should be assisting you in doing this. Modifying the preset effects XML file is not something that users are supposed to do. It is untested, unsupported, undocumented, and not recommended.
