Can't add anything on top full motion clip

I have several full motion clips in my simulation. Each has
some sensitive information I want to block out by inserting a
Highlight Box. I've done this on several of my full motion clips
with no problem. However, I have one clip that simply will not show
ANYTHING that I put on top of the clip--only the clip will display.
You can see a screencast of the problem at the link below. Any help
is greatly appreciated!

A civil request for more information! Of course, it isn't
really meant to be civil, and it isn't really a request for
information, but still, it's a suggestion worthy of taking
seriously. I've already answered that question in a general sense,
but I can repeat my thought processes in a step-by-step, and hope
that "jsheeha" and others might benefit (assuming that everyone
hasn't already tried it on their own).
And if you can learn something in the process, all the
better, Rick. Glad you asked, though the application is so simple
that explaining its use feels ~ odd, somehow.
(by the way, what is "an OP"? I have seen you use that term
before but am unfamiliar with its use - thanks)
To continue, what "jsheeha" gave us appears to be a
(Camtasia?) clip of a larger project clip. I don't like making
assumptions, but that one is required in this case. The below steps
won't work in every situation, perhaps, but they represent some of
the capability of the FMREditor for Captivate, and as such, are
worth a look, a little thought, and a little imaginative use.
1) Create a new movie without the offending title-bar
contents.
2) Be sure it is the same physical size (X pixels width by X
pixels height)
3) Publish it to SWF (HTML file is unnecessary at this
point).
4) Load the entire original full-motion recording (published
SWF) into the FMREditor.
5) Go to the point at which the offending material appears.
6) Click the "Toggle Marker" and change to "Insert SWF" mode
if necessary
7) Select the previously published replacement movie (or
isolated frames, as necessary)
8) Insert it into the original FMR, combining the two.
9) Using the Toggle Marker once more, change to "Delete" mode
10) Move to the beginning of the "bad" section and mark it.
... you can "mark" beginning and ending frames by moving the
playhead to the point you want to begin or end, then "click" the
inward-facing black arrows, the left will set the beginning, the
right will set the ending frame ...
11) Go to end of "bad" section and mark it as well.
12) Delete the portion containing the sensitive information.
13) Save the changed project.
I realize that you are probably not
really interested in learning how to do this, Rick, and are
just continuing in your efforts to prove me wrong in everything I
recommend to others. But I wrote this anyway, in the hope that the
thoughts might be helpful to "jsheeha" or other interested users.
If it doesn't work in this particular situation, the FMREditor
might be helpful to someone in a different situation now, or at a
later time. Again, I hope this was helpful, and by the way Rick, no
apology is necessary - just quit trying to prove me wrong every
time I contribute to a thread. Thank you.

  • Can't add anything to sidebar

    I'm running Lion-
    I can't add anything to my sidebar. I have EVERYTHING checked when i go to Finder-Preferences, but nothing is showing up.
    I can't drag anything in there either. What the F?

    Show sidebar is already checked that's the problem. I didn't say the sidebar wasn't showing!!!

  • Can't add anything to submenu

    I'm creating a basic DVD project, but I'm starting from scratch. So I set up the main/title menu the way I want it to look. There are two buttons: one that will play the movie in its entirety, another that takes the user to a submenu where they can select a specific scene from the movie.
    The problem is that on the submenu I created, it won't let me add anything -- no text, buttons, etc. Anything I try to drag on it just bounces back.
    I tried adding the menu a few ways. I Ctrl-Clicked the title menu under Graphical view, selected Add | Layered Menu.
    I also tried to do it from the Menu view. At the title menu, I clicked "Add Layered Menu" at the top of the screen.
    I imagine I'm probably doing something really stupid because I'm a n00b, but your help is appreciated as always.

  • How can I add callouts on top of anchored images in CS6?

    I am using InDesign CS6 on a MacBook. I have multiple anchored images in a long document. Some of the images require callouts, such as labels or arrows, which should display on top of the image and should always stay with the image as if these items were also anchored. Is there a way to layer images in InDesign so that they are all anchored?
    I tried grouping the callout objects with the anchored object, but you cannot select an anchored object and other objects at the same time. I know in Word you can create an image canvas and add multiple items to that, and they are all grouped together. Is there a way to do that in InDesign? Or would I have to anchor each callout along with its corresponding image?

    Peter, your advice was very helpful. However, the text boxes (callout labels) that are included in the grouped objects get distorted once the grouped objects are anchored. Each text box shows the red +. When I expand the text box to fit content, the text box expands vertically so that all of the text is below the originally anchored object.
    The other callouts (just lines) stay in place perfectly.  Any insight into why the text boxes don't behave the same way that the lines do?

  • Address Book, blank, can't add anything

    I haven't used AB for years, and probably did so on a 2004 version on my first laptop.
    But, when I went to open it (on a 2011 MBP and a 2007 MBP) it opens to a blank page, and nothing "works."
    When I try to add a new card, nothing happens.
    When I try to open a vCard file using AB, nothing happens.
    I went to the App Support folder and found my Address Book folder, and deleted the abcddb file per the instructions found on this site.
    userhome>Library>Application Support>Address Book>AddressBook-v22.abcddb and then trashing AddressBook-v22.abcddb.
    Still no go.
    I have files in the metadata under the same folder, but can't access them.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    I thought maybe I could find a download of AB and just start over, but no such thing.
    I'm hesitant to keep deleting stuff in the hope I can start fresh.
    Ideas appreciated.
    S

    First back up your Contacts. Easiest is to use the Export>Contacts Archive.
    Triple click the following line, then right-click and choose Open from the Services submenu.
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    Inside that folder, delete the AddressBook-v22.abcddb file.
    Then, go into the Sources folder and its subfolders and delete any files of the same names.
    Open Contacts and see how it runs.

  • Can't put anything on top of paged-sized GIF image?

    I created a GIF file and successfully inserted it on a blank document.  Now it seems I cannot put my cursor on top of it, meaning I cannot insert table, smaller jpg image, text, etc.  Advice would be much appreciated.

    Remove your image from the page.  Go to Modify->Page Properties.  Then for Appearance (CSS) there is an option for a background image for your page.  Browse to your image and then it will be a background that you can place your content over.

  • Can't add songs- memory not full

    Um...i downloaded the new version of itunes and it is installed on my computer. however, when i go to add songs to my ipod from my library it says that my software is too old and i need tp upgrade. (but i just did) what do i do?

    Perhaps it means your iPod's software needs updating? This can be especially important if you are adding/syncing iTMS purchased music files.
    Make sure that you have the latest iPod Updater software
    - Download the Update Installer to your PC (do not run it from the web site).
    - Place the file on the Desktop, or in a Folder you can remember/find.
    - You also need to install the Updater software by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
    - After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
    - After rebooting, run the Updater.
    --- Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
    - It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
    - Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
    --- Choose the Update option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version.
    --- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version and format (erase) your iPod's hard drive.

  • Can't add dip to black to a clip

    I have created 3 different sequences, and placed a clip into each one. I went into #s 1 and 2, and added a dip to black transition to the end of the clip in each. When I went to #3, I was unable to add the dip to the clip in there. Dragging the transition to the clip on the timeline gave me a had with a circle + slash. Double clicking the transition wit hteh clip selected did nothing. The layer is not locked. What could be going on?

    Yes. It looks like I may have encountered a bug. I'm running CS5 under Mountain Lion. I had googled to see if there were any known issues, but everything seemed to say they were compatible with no problems. I have also noticed a similarly weird issue on the UI of another application.

  • Can't add files to two different phones

    I have created a ringtone for my iphone 4s and loaded just fine.  I tried to add the ringtone to my fiances phone and I get the red circle with the line through it so I can't add anything to her phone.  No photos, music etc.  I tried signing out of Itunes and into her account but still nothing.  Computer is authorized.  Ringtone is in the Tones folder in ITunes but just can't drag and drop in hers but can in my Iphone 4s.  Any suggestions?

    I think your method is wrong.  You should not change the m4a file to m4r file in it's original location which is for music library.
    Refer proper steps here for creating ringtones:
    Before you start, first go to iTunes top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
    Right click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info” 
    Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK 
    Right mouse click the music again and choose “Create AAC Version” 
    You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a. 
    Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop 
    Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file). 
    *Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length. 
    Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library 
    Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
    Once you have the ringtones in Tones library, you may sync it to your device. Connect and select your iPhone on iTunes left Pane, then on right go to Tones tab and make sure SYNC Tones is checked and click the APPLY or SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • Can't add new contacts in Mavericks

    Since installing Mavericks I can't add anything to Contacts. It behaves as if it's working right up until I close it, whereupon it promptly deletes all the information I just added. It also won't let me delete existing contacts.
    The only account I have is 'On My Mac (local)' so I'm not trying to sync with iCloud or any other devices, I just want to be able to add contacts to the address book on my imac.

    I have heard that after adding information (especially to the notes section) you should go to some 'other' card and make some change to the 'other' card. I always go to my top listing and add (or delete) a digit 1 to one of the name fields. Then save the 'other' card. Also do a full archive save to some location before you close contacts app. I use a external drive after my mavericks drive died and i lost everything six months ago. Keep at least 5-6 of your archive files. My iMac was only 5 years old and it got real hot one night and died. This is a hassle to remember and I have submitted this contacts bug to apple feedback at least 3 times since before Lion OS. Try to keep your iMac cool and if it gets hot after a few hours of work, close it down and let it cool. Computers do not like to be hot - they tend to slow down.

  • How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

    How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
    After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

    There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
    Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
    I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

  • Capture Screen Shot not working in Full Motion

    I am trying to use Full Motion Recording to capture mouse
    movement, while also manually capturing screen shots. The screen
    shots are not being captured though. I've tried the default Print
    Screen key, and also resetting it to the Down key, with no success.
    I can capture the screen shots when Full Motion Recording is not
    active.
    The information in the Help files and Knowledgebase seem to
    indicate that it's possible to manually capture screens while
    recording full motion. Any suggestions about what could be going
    wrong?
    Thanks.

    Hi LisaLouLou and welcome to our community
    I think the help may be misleading you here. If you are
    recording by using the total “Full Motion Capture”,
    Captivate ignores the Print Screen key because you have told it
    that the entire project is to be recorded using Full Motion. Hence,
    there is no slide by slide based recording as there is using the
    other options.
    After you have recorded, you are free to insert blank slides,
    then add images as needed in case that helps.
    Cheers... Rick
