Can I use AE Fractal Noise as a background in ENCORE menu?

After Effects has a fractal noise effect that I have used and I would now like to import or dynamic link to that fractal noise in ENCORE to use in a menu. Is this possible? If so how?
I have imported the AE composition to ENCORE but I don't know how to make that asset a background in a menu. Any experience or directions would be appreciated.
I am using CS3 with PP, AE8 and ENCORE.

No, you cannot just apply an effect in Encore. You must export a movie that will play in the background.
Here are some hlep files regarding usikng AE for Encore menus.

Here's an adobe tutorial on using AE for EN menus:

HT204204 My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background.

Hi to all,
I hope someone can help me. My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8.3. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background. Even when I restart my phone, it is still stuck on the start up menu, the black background with apple logo in the middle.

Slone,
I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity. After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new. I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad! This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used. Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup. I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware. I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like. Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
Good luck!

How can I use an image as a folder background on icon

vista updated firefox - how can I use an image as a folder background for an icon of that folder (for desktop)

This is not a Firefox related issue or Firefox setting etc. This is a windows or OS setting, I provided the link below on how to change this in Windows Vista.

Are you trying to apply a gradient background?
In Flex 3 in Application tag:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
backgroundColor="#666666"
backgroundGradientColors="[#333333, #666666]">
</mx:Application>
In Flex 4 you need to set the backgroundColor and apply a skin for the gradient:
-------------- mySkins/MyAppSkin.mxml -------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:Skin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
<fx:Metadata>
    [HostComponent("spark.components.Application")]
</fx:Metadata>
<s:states>
    <s:State name="normal" />
    <s:State name="disabled" />
</s:states>

<s:Rect id="backgroundRect" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0">
    <s:fill>
      <s:LinearGradient rotation="90">
        <s:entries>
          <s:GradientEntry color="0x333333" ratio="0" alpha="1"/>
          <s:GradientEntry color="0x666666" ratio=".66" alpha="1"/>
        </s:entries>
      </s:LinearGradient>
    </s:fill>
</s:Rect>
<s:Group id="contentGroup" left="10" right="10" top="10" bottom="10">
    <s:layout>
      <s:VerticalLayout/>
    </s:layout>
</s:Group>
</s:Skin>
-------------- test.mxml -------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
               height="100%" width="100%">
<s:SkinnableContainer skinClass="mySkins.MyAppSkin"

Can I use Photoshop Elements 8 to create menus for Encore Project?

Is there a way to create menu buttons in PS Elements 8 for an Encore project or do I need to upgrade to PS CS5?
Thanks!

I have never used PSE, but my understanding is that it can only edit Button Layer Sets, and NOT create them. This might have been added in PSE 8, but one would have to check.
Now, PS (the big-brother) has no such limitations, and I use it for Menu creation.
One workaround, if my first paragraph is correct, would be to do the Menu creation, sans Buttons, then Import into Encore and use the Menu Editor to add Buttons from the Library. Just choose a Library Button that is somewhat close to what you want. Now, PSE should allow you to edit that created Button Layer Set.
As Ann mentions, be very, very careful with the necessary naming conventions. Those are critical.
Good luck,

--urgent Can I use table data to create a dynamic drop down menu?

Hi,
I am asked to investigate the possibility of using APEX to create a table driven dynamic drop down menu? The deadline is tomorrow but I have spent quite a bit of time but still have not any clue. Can any one have such experience to point me a way to focus on?
Many thanks.
Jennifer

Thanks you very much for the help Kevin.
Currently my company is using htp.p style to create web app and using the dynamic menu in a similar way as you explained. Now they want to move to Apex and still keep dynamic menu functionality. After reading your response and research I have done I think I can embed it into Apex application by creating the similar table and PL/SQL package and let Apex to call the PL/SQL package when the application is first called. However may I ask you a question about how to call such pl/sql procedure in Apex? .
The current application has the following URL, from which the procedure pkg_main.print_menu is called and html home page with dynamic menu is displayed.
Http://app server:1234/pls/applicationname/pkg_main.print_menu?p_new_window=N
BUT what about the Apex? The Apex URL format is like the following, where 11563 and 1 is application id and page number. Assume that 1 is home page, but HOW the procedure is called, from WHERE?

How can I use a JPEG file as a background image for my vi in 8.5

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
Solved!

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.

Can you use a swf file like a background image

The header has a css background image and the spry menu bar
lays over it. Is it possible to attach a swf file as the background
image in css or even in html?
Maybe as a background-attachment somehow? Or simply in the
html code?
I am using CS4 but I believe the website was created with
CS2.

I don't know anyone, that knows what they are doing, that uses flash for websites anymore
There are a few holdover gaming sites that still use it, but even those guys are making the move to JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3.
@bretC,
There are far too many people using mobile & tablet devices that don't support Flash (iOS, Android, Blackberry, etc...) It's not good business to ignore those people.
In terms of alternative technologies, look at HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations made with Edge Animate. These are well supported on all modern devices. Edge Animate is part of the Creative Cloud plan. Products | Edge Animate | Adobe TV

Can I Use Apple 4:3 Templates On A 16:9 Menu?

Can I use mask tracking to blur my background?

There is a help video " How to blur a moving face" at How to blur a moving face with masking and tracking | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials I need to do the opposite. I want the background of a "talking head" video to be blurred and the speaker to be in focus. Is this possible with Premiere?

You don't actually need two video layers, because you can just apply a masked blur to a clip, then *invert* the mask so that everything *outside* the mask is blurred, and everything inside the mask is unaffected. Here are the steps in detail:
1) apply the Blur filter (whichever one you want) to the clip.
2) In the Effects Controls pane, turn the disclosure triangle for the Blur filter and click one of the mask buttons (the oval is probably best for this situation). Drag and resize the mask so it covers the person's face. Feather it as needed (probably not very much in this situation, or you'll get a weird halo-like effect).
3) Back in the Effects Controls pane, under the the Blur filter controls, you'll now see a new option: "Mask (1)". Open those controls and check off "Inverted," so that when you apply the blur, it will apply to the area *outside* the mask, instead of the inside.
4) Turn the Blurriness up until you get the look you want.
5) (You can do this earlier, if you want) - but you have to track the mask so it moves with the person who's moving. To do this, start at the first frame of video. Make sure the mask fits well over the person at that frame. Then click the "Track selected mask forward" button (it looks like a regular triangular play button). It'll step through all the frames and adjust the mask on each frame. If it loses the person, just stop on that frame, adjust the mask, and track forward from there.

IMPORTING AFTER EFFECTS FRACTAL NOISE?

If I create a fractal noise comp in AE that is the same dimensions as the photoshop file that is going to be used for printing then will that after effects fractal noise comp be suitable for high quality printing? I am not using fibres as I find it not particularly useful or easy to use as fractal noise in photoshop.
thanks
Angus

You can do that in several ways:
1. Yuu can use dynamic link from AE to PPro - that mean you don't need to render anything from AE. More on that: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Adobe Dynamic Link
2. If you are using newest version of AE/PPro you can use something valled Live Text Templates. More on that: After Effects Help | Live Text Templates or Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Live Text templates
3. Or if you need to render from AE and import footage to PPro you have to render that footage with codec that gives you alpha channel, and you have to turn on alpha in AE export settings. more on that: After Effects Help | Basics of rendering and exporting

How can I use undo and redo with run time menu?

Hi..I try to built my own menu for graphic programming. How can I use undo and redo in labview with run time menu?

filozof-
During runtime, by default, LabVIEW has undo/redo data changes under the edit menu. This will undo/redo changes made to controls during runtime. If you want a more extensive undo/redo (custom for your application), you are going to have to do quite a few things
1) Create a custom runtime menu (Edit>>RunTime Menu) and place your own undo/redo controls on it
2) Keep an action history in your program
3) Catch the Shortcut menu event for your custom undo/redo controls
4) Reverse the last action in your histroy when you catch the event
This method would allow you undo entire operations (like resize, move, or whatever kind of functionality you are building into your application) unstead of just undoing data changes.

When try to view a movie with a external reader it makes a weird noise at time and other times works fine I think I read somewhere theat you can only use thereader that came with your computer

When I put a movie DVD in my external reader it makes a strange noise and at times it gets hung up I have to force quit it and then I can eject the dvd
I believe I read some wherre that you can only use the reader that came with my computer

That sounds like the drive is faulty. CD and DVD will have seperate heads, and burn and read will be different lasers in each. If it's still in warranty I'd exchange it.

How can I use USRP as a noise generator?

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know how can I use a NI USRP 2920 to generate white noise or impulsive noise at its Tx port?
(I am kind of new to this area and any help is appreciated)
Thanks.

Hello,
I am assuming you are using LabVIEW to do this, correct? DO you have access to the help documentation for the NI-USRP driver? Within the help document there is a section called Software Fundamentals which has a section within it called NI-USRP Instrument Driver Programming Flow. This section shows you how to set up the USRP to transmit a signal. The default case is for an arbitrary array of data to be supplied to the Write Tx Data function. Instead you could use the output from the Uniform White Noise VI as the input for the Write Tx Data function. This should write the the white noise to the output of the USRP.
NI-USRP Instrument Driver Programming Flow:

Uniform White Noise VI:
