  • Setting up the correct custom project size size for keynote presentation in FCP 7 or motion?

    Hi...anyone else do this?
    I have been creating and editing films in FCP (not X) for years now and have got into creating the whole presentation for clients awards ceremonies etc. via Keynote on my iPad via HDMI to HD projectors and it looks amazing and is seamless on the night. No need for crappy powerpoint slides and jumping to low res DVD films - its all controlled via my iPad.
    But i want to up the creativity of the presentations - at the moment we import the films as mp4 HD QT files and jpegs of the speakers/nominees/titles screens etc. created in Photoshop and put the whole thing together in Keynote on my iPad. It worked a treat and my clients love it!
    Now i had a thought and did a test and created Motion graphics versions of the speakers titles and nominees screens in Apple Motion - so that they had an animated section at the start with whoosh audio stingers as they are played and not just stills - and then export them as QT files - import to FCP 7 timeline and export to compresser ready to convert to mp4 for Keynote.
    This way i can extend the static part of the screen after the motion graphic part to say 10 mins as i never know how long the speaker will be on stage.
    Then when the speaker moves on the next item i can hit the ipad which will move to the next presentaion screen!
    Q. Now ive been doing these as HD 16:9 screens - but when imported to Keynote I have a white band top and bottom on the screen so i really need to start with a template screen size of 1024 x 768 for Keynote and also keep this size in FCP 7! And also export to Quicktime as the same size.
    When i do static jpegs to import into Keynote i just define the pixel canvas size - 1024 x 768 @ 300dpi in Photoshop and it works fine but im not sure what to do in Motion or PCP as I have always created my films in 16:9 HD widescreen preset!
    Anyone else doing this and got a solution to my problem and can help with custom project sizes in motion and FCP 7!

    1024x768 is 4x3.  2048x1536 is 4x3.  Both of these are current display dimensions for iPads 1-3.
    HD video (1920x1080 or 1280x720) is a 16x9 aspect ratio.
    Try putting a rectangle in a square. Unless you scale the retangle up and lose image on the sides you will not be able to properly fill the entire 4x3 display area. The easy compromise is letterboxing to ensure all of the rectangle is display in the square. The iPad is doing this with very little effort on your part.
    In FC you can create a new sequence and go into the settings and customize it to 1024x768, 2048x1536 or
    just about any other dimension. Even If you create a custom sequence at 1024 or 2048 in FC you will see the same results that the iPad is giving you with much less effort, render and conversion time (presuming your keynote workspace cannot change in dimensions or aspect ratio and you are unwilling to crop your 16x9 aspect ratio video to fill the space.) 

  • Hi Edge community,  How can I set a custom colors

    Hi Edge community,
    How can I set a custom colors & font size
    to the Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014
    work space (stage, time lone, tools, etc...)
    to get something close to this?
    http://www.vrmall.eu/vr/EDGE_WORKSPACE_BLACK_n_WHITE/EDGE_WORKSPACE_BLACK_n_WHITE_r.01.jpg
    Thanks a lot for Your time and help.

    Hi Robyn_cpl,
    thanks for the useful link - based on this I decided to
    purchase the PDF of Adobe Edge Animate: The Missing Manual
    by Chris Grover. Good book indeed, work space panels resizing
    and docking are covered, but there is nothing on colors&fonts...
    I've been searching  intro's, tut's, forums on Edge, but no hint
    on this... But I keep searching You Tube, Google, etc...
    I'm intended to submit the subject to Adobe Edge Support.
    Thanks again for Your attention

  • Is it possible to use an AppleScript to set a *custom* paper size in Word?

    I've used the following script to set the paper size in Word:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
              set paper size of page setup of section 1 of active document to paper a4
    end tell
    but I've been unable to write a script to set a custom paper size -- does anyone know if this is possible?
    Thanks!

    The gallant Pierre strikes again!!!  For reasons having to do with a quirk of working with Word documents coming from a Windows machine, I ended up having to go the UI route, but I couldn't have done it without you!  I actually ended up changing the Format For: popup menu instead of the Paper Size: popup menu, but this technique could be used for those who wish to chose a custom paper size:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
      activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
              delay 0.5
      keystroke "a" using command down
              tell application process "Microsoft Word"
                        click menu item "Page Setup..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
      delay 1
      click pop up button 3 of window "Page Setup"
      keystroke "Any"
                        delay 0.5
      keystroke return
                        delay 0.5
      keystroke return
      delay 1
                        click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
      delay 1
                        tell menu button "PDF" of window "Print"
      click
                                  click menu item "Create Booklet" of menu 1
                        end tell
              end tell
    end tell
    Again, Pierre -- many thanks!

    How can i set my calendar start from Monday NOT Sunday like it is now?

    Read this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11501621#11501621
    For example, if you set the Regional format to United Kingdom, the days will be re-ordered but it will have other effects as well which you probably don't want.

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    There is no build-in system function which support to setup memory as disk cache. I know some third party software support this so you could have a search with related keywords (memory, hard disk cache).

  • Can I set up a spam filter for my iPad like I have on my Mac?

    Can I set up a spam filter for my iPad like I have on my Mac?

    The Mac OS X Mail application has a "Junk" function that works locally, on the Mac, and just puts emails from previously designated "junk" addresses into a separete folder, so you don't have to wade thru all that spam in your Inbox. It's a very elegant and simple, local solution, that I dearly miss on iOS.
    I did submit a request for it at Apple Feedback page.

  • Can no longer create custom page size for printing to PDF?

    When printing from FrameMaker to PDF in Windows, I used to be able to create a custom page size by clicking on the Add button that appeared to the right of the Adobe PDF Page Size window, in the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog box. With Frame 9, that button no longer appears; in fact, the whole dialog box is cut off just inside the edge of the entry windows. Do I need to set something? Thanks for any help you can offer. - Cindy Shaler

    Cindy,
    I am not sure to what dialog boxes you are referring.
    In the PDF Setup dialog box (in FrameMaker's Print dialog or Save as PDF dialog), the Settings tab displays two fields to change the width and height of the paper. I tried entering odd values, and the resulting PDF had the entered size. I see no Add button nor is the dialog box cut off.
    Maybe I am not looking at the correct boxes.

  • Why can´t I create custom paper sizes in millimeters?

    Since I upgraded to Tiger (?) or since I bought (?) my new Epson printer RX700 I can´t customize paper sizes in millimeters. For example the value 12,1x12,2 gets evened out to 12x12. This happens regardless of programs I try to print from. Epson has no solution to the problem. Is it a cumputer problem?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   768 MB, 1,8 GHz

    Thanks for your answer. I was trying in Aperçu, Acrobat Reader and Firefox. After your post, I did try in Safari and had the same rouding problem, as I expected since the custom page size management seems to be an OS X function used by all applications.
    May be the error is in the way I type the paramters in the page size boxes : I type, e.g., "12,5 cm" which is transformed into "13 cm" when I hit another control ?
    I tried other formats whithout success :
    "125 mm" -> "125 cm" !
    "125 pt" -> error message
    "12.5 cm" -> error message
    "4,92 in" -> error message
    "12,5" -> "13 cm"
    I also tried to set System Preferences > International > Formats > Measurement units to "American" instead of "Metric". Then I could enter sizes in inches but non-integer values were also rounded to the nearest integer.
    How do you enter decimal values into the size boxes ?

  • Set default custom print size

    Using Windows 7 with Adobe Reader X1.
    I need to repeatedly print documents (actually labels) using a Custom Scale of 43% (under File / Print / Page Sizing & Handling). Is there a way to set this as a default? A registry key perhaps? I've found the registry key which sets the Custom Scale option as default but I can't find anywhere to change percentage (which defaults to 100).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can cells set to custom format appear differently on different versions of MS OFFICE?

    I'm currently involved in a data enrichment project where we convert some financial data for our clients in excel. We've been facing a problem with date formats in the reports sent to us by the client. 
    We're supposed to enter 4 different dates in separate columns with 3 different formats. For example in one column the date format should appear in the dd/mm/yyyy format and in another as dd-mm-yyyy. What we've done is set all these cells to CUSTOM format
    and in the TYPE dialog in the Custom Tab typed "dd\/mm\/yyyy" where we need the date to appear as dd/mm/yyyy and "dd-mm-yyyy" where we need the date to appear as dd-mm-yyyy. 
    However, the client says that when he downloads the file on his computer he sees the date formats set to DATE and not CUSTOM. Is this possible?
    Can a cell set to CUSTOM FORMAT appear differently on a different version of MS OFFICE?
    Does the Operating System also have a role to play in this?
    For example if we've typed our data in OFFICE 2007 on a system with XP as the OS, will it not open as CUSTOM when we open it in OFFICE 2010 with Windows 7 as the OS?
    We need serious help on this as this confusion has put our project in jeopardy. 

    Thanks for the help Jim. Just to make it clearer we haven't used quotation marks in the date formats. Further, we were told to use back slash by the client cause according to them this would help in keeping the date formats as fixed to custom format on any
    computer that the file is opened on.
    What I'm trying to figure out is that if a cell is set to a custom format, can it appear differently when opened on a different computer?
    We've sent the file using Sendspace.com to our clients and when we download the file and open it on any version of MS Office we still see the custom formats in the date fileds. However, the client insists that it appears differently on their computers. 
    Is it possible for a cell set to a custom format to not appear as custom on a different computer?
    Just to remind you again that we've downloaded the file on almost every version of Office and have noticed no change in the formats set by our team. How then is it possible that the dates doesn't appear as custom formats on their system?
    I would really appreciate if you could help me solve this situation.
