Can I zoom in on a specific point on the timeline

There must be a way for me to zoom in on the timeline without losing my place everytime while doing so.
Is there a button I can press while zooming in that will keep the scrubbing point within my view of the timeline.
I really hope that made sense...

Playhead.
CTI is what they used to call it: current time indicator.
If you hold alt and scroll with the mouse it will zoom in on the playhead.

Loading an animation at a specific point in the timeline?

Hello,
I am trying to find out if it is possible to start/load the animation based on a specific point in its timeline? The animation I am creating is a parallax animation based on mouse position and I am trying to load it in the middle of the animation and based on the users mouse position will play forward or backwards from that point. Is this doable?
Thank you

Hi, Bullvinne Designs-
What you'll want to do is to stick some initialization code into the compositionReady event from the stage. This will execute after the runtime loads and before the user sees the stage.
Thanks,

Open swf in new windows at specific points on the timeline

Let me start by saying that I am a newbie to Flash. I have created a Flash site and I want to create links that would open a SWF in a new window at specific points on its' the timeline. How can I do this?

It depends what version of actionscript you're using, but if you are familiar with linking to other pages using buttons, you use the same linking code, getURL (AS2) or navigateToURL (AS3), and specify "_blank" as the window parameter in the arguments for whichever you use. So if you are using AS2, then in your timeline where you want a new window to open you would have....
getURL("yourfile.html", "_blank");

How to start from a specific point on the timeline

I have a horizontal list of image thumbnails, there are 21 thumbnails and only 7 are visible at one time and scrolls back and forth. It works fine.
However, when I choose an image that is not in the first seven, say the 8th image, the page loads and the thumbnails goes back to the beginning images (undesirable). When the 8th image page is shown I would like the thumbnails to start at the eigth image, NOT from the beginning again.
I had the animation positioned to the eight image for the start, with the first 7 off to the left and the second 7 off to the right. But when I saved and loaded it into the page, it just starts from the begining.
How can I start the thumbnails from a specific desired position, such as the 8th image or the 15th image depending on the page?
Thank you for any help.
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for your post.
It would be better if you share any link or actual composition with us.

I have a project on Imovie with pinned audio to the project. I want to know how to stretch the audio to a specific point of the song?

See this Tutorial for how audio works in iMovie. In general, you drag the left or right edge of your audio clip.
You can also use the Clip Trimmer. Click the Gear icon in the music track and select the Clip Trimmer.

"jump" points on the timeline

I'm kind of new to iMovie, and I'm working on a project where I'd like to set points on the Timeline where the movie will automatically jump to on a certain keystroke during playback. I'd like to be able set up several within the same file. Does anyone know of a way to do this, with iMovie or any other Mac application?
I'm trying to sync prerecorded film to live music (with fluctuating tempo) as closely as possible, so I need to set up several points where a significant event in the music will be matched exactly to a complementary event onscreen.
Thanks very much!

Hi Martin
this could help you starting. For the case you can't open LV 8.2- VIs, i attach the BD- picture.

How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.
Thanks,

If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

Using band zoom to select all data points within the band

I'm feeling stupid this morning. I'm a new user with 2011, but haven't figured out how to copy a portion of data. I can use view 2D axis system to view my data. Then I use band zoom to get to the portion I need, but for the life of me I can't get it to copy that portion. I have set flags at the beginning and end and such, but the best I get is the beginning point, a single no value point and the end point. I am not getting all the points in between the flags. Am I supposed to somehow flag all points in the zoom view? I have done a search, but can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Robert
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Robert,
This is a pretty easy and straight forward thing to do:
Put you data into the VIEW window. Then pick the BAND cursor in the toolbar (see below)
Select the "Set Flags" icon in the VIEW windows with the data and the Band Cursor:
After you have the data selected with the FLAGS (the data points will be displayed in a thicker line style) click on the "Copy Data Points" icon:
You will get a full copy of the data in the band, copied to a new channel in the Data Portal. In the example below I dragged the new data into both windows (not that the red data is still highlited by the flags, this it's a thicker line style).
That should answer your question, please let me know if you have additional questions,

Can I call a specific time of the timeline in an advanced action?

Can I use the specific time of the time line to trigger an advance action? If I can what is the correct syntax to call the timeline information?
eg:
in a conditional advanced action
IF
Timeline - is equal to or greater than - 00:16
AND
Timeline - is less than or equal to - 00:20
ACTION
Show - Image 21
ELSE
Hide Image 21

Double post, see: Can you add Advanced actions to an image?
My list with system variables will not really help, I'm afraid. My suspicion (and yours in the other thread) is that the OP doesn't understand the design of the Timeline.

Anyway to loop specific parts of the timeline?

Hey, is there anyway to loop SPECIFIC parts of the time line, the way you can in Motion, Logic and some other audio programs. That would really be nice as you can make changes while you watch in REALTIME.
Thanks

I tried both. First i simply used "A" Seclect tool to highlight the part of the timeline that I want to loop. That didn't work. The cursor just continued after the highlighted part. Then I sued "R" range slection tool and selected part of the clip/s in the timeline and again, the cursor just continued after the end of the selection.
In logic and other programs, you can create a section on top of the timeline where you want the loop to be and it will loop from those points.
Any other ideas of what to do? Thanks again

Removing between and in and out point in the timeline

I don't usually post on forums but this has got me quite perplexed:
How do you remove a chunk of media between and in and out point in the FCPX timeline?
It's can't be as hard as it seems to do this task that you have to do all the time. I have a 2 hour 3 camera shoot and I want to remove quite a few 2, 3 minute chucks all through the show. I can't find any way to easily remove these chunks. I know there's no real in and out point in the FCPX timeline anymore but there HAS to be some way to easily remove all the video and audio between two points !!!
I feel really dumb! The answer can't be to make a compound clip as that sure is a pain just to remove something from the timeline. And to blade each individual track means I have to blade at least 8 or 12 things just to remove it!
I have to be missing something. Thanks for any input.

Thanks Tom.
I'll have between 3 and 6 layers at any point. I've tried command B but the problem with that is it only puts a cut on the primary storyline. It will cut more than that if I select all the layers. By doing that it's like a 5 or 6 step process to delete chunks of media in the timeline. I can't believe there isn't an easier way than that.
But what makes it worse as I have a long piece of audio only media that is for the whole show. Its a connected clip to the primary storyline. when making edits with command B and then deleting what is between the edits this main audio gets deleted from the edit forward. IT's like this audio becomes a connected clip right after the edit when command B is made. it looks connected to the next clip after the command B but it deletes when I delete the chunk between the command B.
This is so silly that I can't easily delete media from the timeline in this way. It's such a simple thing!

How do I place photos in specific places in the timeline

I don't want to build my project linearly. I want to place photos in certain places, but when I try to import any they always go to the start of the timeline.
How do I put these photos where I want them, so they can become my guideposts in the timeline?

Hey Mark Burgess,
I have an article for you about importing photos into your timeline in iMovie and positioning them correctly in your project:
iMovie '11: Add photos from iPhoto to a project
After you find the photo you want to use, click the photo to see a preview in the viewer. Then do one of the following to add it to your project:
Drag it between clips or between a clip and a transition. As you drag, a vertical green line appears anyplace you can add the photo. When you add a photo, by default it is set to remain onscreen for four seconds, but you can change this duration if you want. Also, the Ken Burns effect is applied to the photo, which makes it appear as though the camera is panning across and zooming in on the image. You can modify this effect if you choose. Refer to the “See also” topics below for more information.
Drag the photo to a video clip; a green Add (+) symbol appears where you can drop it. From the menu that appears, you can choose to replace the video clip with the photo or insert the photo. If Advanced Tools are turned on, you can add the photo as a picture-in-picture clip, and more.

External Link to a point on the timeline

I would like to find a way to link to a specific frame in the
_root time line from an external link. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Mike

The way to do that would be to retrieve the target -frame as
as URL-variable (the stuff behind the ? in some URLs) and then
transmit it to flash via server-side logic or java-script as a
flash var.
Then your flash can check for the existence an/or value of
the target-frame variable and jump to the desired frame or
not!
