Can't add layer markers on the fly with Mac laptop

I've been trying to figure this out for hours now!!! I'm on a Mac Intel Core 2 Duo laptop running 10.5.6. I'm using After Effects CS3 Professional. All I want to do is RAM preview an audio file from inside a composition, and add layer markers on the fly. Apparently this is easy with a desktop using the numeric keypad. I remapped the shorcut in the Preferences text file so that "Add Marker" is now F12 - nice and easy! (and no, it's not conflicting with the the OS Dashboard shortcut - I turned that off). In any case, I tried a number of others as well. The problem is, no matter what the shortcut, when I try adding the layer marker with the shortcut the file stops playing! So annoying! I want to add a number of layer markers timed to the beat, but as soon as I do the damned RAM preview stops! I can't mark key points in the composition!! Any help would be MUCH appreciated...

Hi there
I hope it's ok to continue this old thread - as I'm having a very similar problem, but with a PC laptop
I want to re-map the numeric-keypad-star key so I can hit markers on the fly while ram previewing (my laptop has no numeric keypad), but I don't know what the shortcut is called in order to be able to find it to re-map it!!  Can anyone tell me what the shortcut is called?
Also from this thread it seems even if I do re-map it may not work - can anyone tell me whether this will be the case for a PC?  I'm using a Dell Studio 1557 Core i7 with Win7 64bit, running After Effects CS4
All advice appreciated
Thanks

  • How can I add chapter markers in the new iMovie (2013)?

    I like to have chapter markers in my movies so that when I make the dvd the menu allows me to go to different chapters easily in the movie.  The old version of imovie had this feature and I can't seem to find it in this new version.

    Since Apple discontinued iDVD the newest version of iMovie can't create chapter markers.
    Fine, so how do I set chapters for my Podcasts and QuickTime movie ?

  • How can I add an application in the "Open With..." menu?

    Hi, I'd like some help here. I'm downloading citations that are plain text file, so when I open them I have to browse all the way to the Endnote folder to find the app, since Endnote is not in the short list of programs that Finder proposes for opening the text files. Is there a way to add Endnote to this list?
    Thanks.
    Merry Christmas!

    In my limited knowledge there is no way for a user to add an application to this list. You might try one of these two options.
    1. Use a utility like Cocktail or Onyx to reset the launch services database. This is the database that decides which applications get launched when a file is double clicked. It may be that the Endnote application didn't get recognized. However OS X decides what applications to add to the list based on files types.
    2. The easier solution is to select one of the files you wish to open with Endnote. Right click on the file and select Get Info. Under the "Open with" menu select Other... and navigate to the Endnote application and select it. Now click the Change all button. From now on when you double click your citation file it will automatically open with the Endnote application.

  • [SOLVED] Can't add a node to the cluster with error (Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Windows Server 2012)

    Hi there!
    I have a problem which makes me very angry already :)
    I have two servers Exchange 2010 SP3 with MB role started on Windows Server 2012. I decided to create a DAG.
    I have created the prestaged AD object for the cluster called msc-co-exc-01c, assigned necessary permissions and disabled it. Allowed through the Windows Firewall traffic between nodes and prepared the File Share Witness server.
    Then I have tried to add nodes. The first node has been added successfully, but the second node doesn't want to be added :). Now I can add only one node to the DAG. I tried to add different servers first, but only the first one was added.
    LOGS on the second nodes: 
    Application Log
    "Failed to initialize cluster with error 0x80004005." (MSExchangeIS)

    UPD:
    when Exchange servers ran on the same Hyper-V node, the DAG is working well, but if I move one of VM to another node, It stops working.
    I have installed Wireshark and captured trafic of cluster interface. When DAG members on the same HV-node, there is inbound and outbound traffic on the cluster interface, but if I move one of DAG member to another node, in Wireshark I see only outbound traffic
    on both nodes.
    It's confused me, because there is normal connectivity between these DAG members through the main interface.
    Please, help me if you can.

    Hi, Jared! Thank you for the reply.
    Of course I did it already :) I have new info:

  • I am missing the add objects section from the fly out menu in Photoshop CS6. 3d workspace

    I am missing the "add objects" section from the fly out menu in Photoshop CS6. I am in the 3D workspace of Photoshop. "Scene" is highlighted and I have clicked on the little fly out menu in the upper right hand corner of that panel. The whole section that should contain, Add objects, delete objects, duplicate objects, all the way through reverse order is missing. The add lights section above and render section below it is there. I am not new to Photoshop, but I am new to the 3D section of Photoshops work space.
    I do know about creating a new layer in the layers tab and merging the objects together trick. But I kind of would like for the program to work correctly as I am sure that doing it that way will cause some sort of problems later in the work process.
    Below are the specs of my system.
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1.3 20131024.r.34 2013/10/24:21:00:00) x64

    Built-in memory: 32651 MB
    Free memory: 28832 MB
    Memory available to Photoshop: 29606 MB

    OpenGL Allow Old GPUs: Not Detected.
    Video Card Vendor: Intel
    Video Card Renderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
    Display: 3
    I am actually running windows 8. So I am not sure why it is saying windows NT. Anyway...
    Photoshop says that my software is up to date. I use Photoshop daily and everything else works just fine. I have looked through this forum and there is someone else who had the same issue as me but their question was not given a solution. So that is why I choose to post it again.
    Any help will be great. Thank you!
    Mark.

    I've made tests with four different 3rd party tools: OpenGL Extension Viewer, GPU Caps Viewer, Compute4Cash OpenCL Diagnostic Tool and Mudlord's Glide3x wrapper tester. All those tools report no problems with my video card driver and OpenGL/CL.
    I have contacted nVidia and based on reports from the tools and visual tests from GPU Caps Viewer nVidia support doesn't see a problem with my driver.
    I found sniffer_gpu.exe which according to Adobe Help pages is a kind of diagnostic tool and determines whether Photoshop uses the graphic card OpenCL or not. Here is the output:
    Device: 00000000002B1BE8 has video RAM(MB): 1023
    Vendor string:    NVIDIA Corporation
    Renderer string:  GeForce GTX 650/PCIe/SSE2
    Version string:   3.0.0
    OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...
    OpenGL Version 3.0
    Has NPOT support: TRUE
    Has Framebuffer Object Extension support: TRUE
    OpenGL ok
    OpenCL ok, version=1.1 CUDA 4.2.1
    Return code: 3
    From Adobe GPU Sniffer tool, it looks OK.
    On the other hand, I have your word that there is no problem with Photoshop not recognizing OpenCL for my card and that nVidia driver has problems. Can you justify this somehow? Perhaps you could provide more details on technical level, or another utility to run and extract details, to at least identify the problem Photoshop has and hopefully solve it on either side.
    P.S. During tests there were two things which I noticed, but they are probably not related to the issue:
    1. One tool reports the lack of Windows registry key SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows (NT)/CurrentVersion/OpenGLDrivers. But according to your previous statement, Photoshop only uses OS calls, no registry and according to nVidia, this key is not used in Windows 7.
    2. During some tests GPU Caps Viewer reports that "OpenCL CPU not supported on the selected platform". This is not complaining about GPU, only about CPU. But Photoshop is complaining about GPU, so it shouldn't be relevant.

  • Can not add a picture to the JFrame from an ActionListener class

    As topic says, I can not add a picture to the JFrame from an ActionListener class which is a class inside the JFrame class.
    I have a Map.java class where I load an image with ImageIcon chosen with JFileChooser.
    I my window class (main class), I have following:
    class OpenImage_Listener implements ActionListener
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
              int ans = open.showOpenDialog(MainProgram.this);     // "open" is the JFileChooser reference
              if(ans == open.APPROVE_OPTION)
                   File file = open.getSelectedFile();                    
                   MainProgram.this.add(new Map(file.getName()), BorderLayout.CENTER);     // this line does not work - it does not add the choosen picture on the window,
                            //but if I add the picture outside this listener class and inside the MainProgram constructor, the picture apperas, but then I cannot use the JFileChooser.
                            showMessageDialog(MainProgram.this, fil.getName() ,"It works", INFORMATION_MESSAGE);  // this popup works, and thereby the ActionListener also works.
    }So why can�t I add a picture to the window from the above listener class?

    The SSCCE:
    Ok, I think I solved it with the picture, but now I cannot add new components after adding the picture.
    Look at the comment in the actionlistener class:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test extends JFrame{
         JButton b = new JButton("Open");
         JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
         Picture pane;
         Test(){
              super("Main Program");
              setLayout(new BorderLayout());
              JPanel north = new JPanel();
              add(north, BorderLayout.NORTH);
              north.add(b);
              b.addActionListener(new Listener());
              setVisible(true);
              setSize(500,500);
              pane = new Picture("");
              add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
         class Listener implements ActionListener {
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                   int ans = jfc.showOpenDialog(Test.this);
                   if(ans == jfc.APPROVE_OPTION)
                        File file = jfc.getSelectedFile();
                        Test.this.add(new Picture(file.getName()), BorderLayout.CENTER);
                        pane.add(new JButton("NEW BUTTON")); // Why does this button not appear on the window???
                        pane.repaint();
                        pane.revalidate();
         public static void main(String[] args)
              Test t = new Test();
    class Picture extends JPanel
         Image pic;
         String filename;
         Picture(String filename)
              setLayout(null);
              this.filename = filename;
              pic = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(filename);
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
                super.paintComponent(g);
                g.drawImage(pic,0,0,getWidth(),getHeight(),this);
                revalidate();
    }

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • How can i add two values under the same property?

    Hi all,
    How can i add two values under the same property name in a
    prop list? For example:
    [question1: "item1","item2", question2: "item3","item4"]
    To be more precise, i am creating a property list and I want
    whenever a two values have the same property name to be added int
    he list under the same property. For example:
    gMyList.AddProp (#""&question&"" & x,
    member("input").text)
    question is a variable that is updated fromt he user's input.
    Now, whenever somethign like this happens:
    question = "question1"
    member("input").text = "five"
    question = "question1"
    member("input").text = "six"
    I want to output list to be:
    [question1: "five","six"] and so on
    Any ideas?

    Maybe you could make each property a list (so you have a
    property list full
    of lists), and add multiple values to the list held in a
    particular
    property?
    Cheers
