Can you reassign Control Surface buttons in FCP 6?

Hi everyone!
I have just purchased a Mackie MCU Pro, but it seems the majority of the controls are of little use in editing video (ie. for settings ins/outs/opacity) - so i wondered if I can reassign the buttons from within FCP? (as with other programs)
I bought this anticipating to use it primarily for physical video control (as well as the obvious audio) however, i have since discovered that the Euphonix MC Control can be setup to do just what i am asking - though want to try and save the mackie if possible!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Adam

Hey Adam
I don't have personal experience of it, nor of the Mackie MCU for that matter (though I have used the Tascam FW1082 extensively) but from the specs online, various bits of info and reviews etc the Euphonix MC looks to provide far deeper integration and capacity for customizing controls than any of the other control surfaces supported by FCP

But whether it actually lets you control the specific controls you're especially wanting to control and do so in a manner that would make your life better, well thats anyones guess ... though a quick email to Peter Wiggins or the Euphonix tech support team should help answer any specific queries you have.
Do please post back with your findings, help educate the rest of us!
Cheers
Andy

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

How can you hide a Continue button until all clickboxes are clicked?

I have seen similar questions to this one, but none seemed to be the exact situation as mine.
What I have: Several images on a screen. When a user clicks an image it is replaced with another image. I am using clickboxes for this task. I do not wish for them to toggle back and forth. Once they click the original image it should stay changed.
What I am trying to do: Once a learner clicks all the images (in no particular order) a Continue button appears that allows them to go to the next screen.
If anyone has some suggestions on this situation please let me know, thanks.

I cannot log in on the forum for the moment, so will try by answering by
mail. I was aware of that problem (have presented those solutions so
often), thought that since you left all images visible once the click box
was clicked it wouldn't be a problem.
Two possible solutions:
   1. Easiest one: add a statement in the Always decision that will Hide
   the click box just clicked. It has no sense to click it another time. That
   will mean that you still can do it with a shared action but that shared
   action will have two parameters now, the second one being the click box
   that has to adapted on each application of the shared action.
   2. If you don't want to make the click box hidden (which means at the
   same time disabled), you'll need a user variable for each click box,
   starting with a default value of 0, and toggle it in the Decision 'Always'
   to 1. The second decision will then need a condition that checks the value
   of all the user variables (with AND) and shows the Next button only when
   all variables have the value of 1.
Sorry, but have to mail, cannot offer a screenshot in that case.

Can you make a "filter mask" in FCP ?

Like in photoshop you can add an "adjustment layer" , for example Hue/Saturation and then add a mask so the Hue/Saturation will only apply to a certain part of the image... Can you do the same thing in FCP, ie: apply a filter mask ?

Thats a good tip thanks. I've used the 3-way's visual interface before so didn't notice the -limit on luma- option.
The bottom half of my picture was underexposed,-- but it seems like this limit on luma would allow me to lighten the bottom half without increasing further the over-exposure in the top half.

Can you disable the home button?

My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason. Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

Can you set in and out in FCP X

can you set in and out in FCP X

Yes, but its usefulness depends on what you are trying to do.
In and Out Points are no longer options on ingesting clips (formerly "Logging and Capturing") into FCP.
You can use I/O Points to select clips in the clip browser (good for attaching keywords & metadata...a nice addition to the new FCPX). I honestly haven't used I/O points in the Timeline to understand it's complete functionality.

Issues re Tascam FW-1082 & FW-1884 control surface - integration with FCP

The joint Tascam/Apple release put out in 2005 touting seamless compatibility between these two products (see below) turns out to be a gross exageration. Basic functions are conceivably compatible, but some do not work and there is a paucity of documentation available. The many buttons and controls on the Tascam's control surfaces are rendered useless. The consumer consumer has been wronged and these are not cheap products. Countless similar posts on this site backs me up on this.
I have the Tascam fw-1884, which has the same setup as the 1082. Have any of you been able to assign quick keys on the tascam using the keyboard customization tool in FCP? I've followed the example on Tascam's support site, but it does not seem to work.
Also, looking for more documentation/tutorials/consultants who can help me master all the features of the Tascam with FCP 5.
Thanks,
David
TASCAM interfaces now compatible with Apple®'s
Final Cut® Pro 5 & Soundtrack Pro
MCP (Mackie Control Protocol) onboard Final Cut Pro 5 allows the use of external audio control surfaces to edit and manipulate audio
Montebello, CA—April 16, 2005—TASCAM's full line of FireWire audio control surfaces and interfaces are now compatible with Apple®'s Final Cut Pro 5 and Soundtrack Pro editing software with Apple's unveiling of the Final Cut® Studio production suite that includes the Final Cut Pro® 5 upgrade.
This major upgrade to the Apple's Emmy award-winning software means that Final Cut Pro 5 and Soundtrack Pro are now fully compatible with MCP (Mackie Control Protocol) devices, so you can use external audio control surfaces— including TASCAM's FW-1884 or FW-1082—to edit and manipulate audio more efficiently.
TASCAM's newest audio controller, the FW-1082, has nine motorized faders for adjusting audio levels during mix playback utilizing the revamped software. Editors can turn up a dialog line or reduce the music level during a voiceover section without clicking on breakpoints. Just grab a fader and go! The transport buttons can be used to start and stop playback in any editor that supports the Mackie Control or Mackie HUI. TASCAM's FW-1082 also has a MIDI fader mode that can be used in programs like Apple Motion 2 to adjust parameters in real-time during playback. And since it's an audio interface as well, producers can record voiceover and sound effects right in the edit suite with professional results.
The FW-1082 has four mic inputs, four line ins and S/PDIF digital in and out – all available at 96kHz. It features 10 inputs, including four balanced XLR mic inputs with phantom power. Eight channel strips each feature a 60mm touch-sensitive moving fader and select/solo/mute buttons, and a moving master fader.
For even more I/O and surface control, the FW-1884 offers 18-channels of inputs (eight analog and eight ADAT digital and two S/PDIF coaxial or optical), eight balanced XLR mic/line inputs with high-quality mic preamps and phantom power, plus nine 100mm motorized touch-sensitive faders.
G4 dual processor 1.25mhz Mac OS X (10.4.6) FCP 5.1.1

So after writing this question I closed the laptop, leaving the Tascam on & connected. Returned 30 mins later to see if anyone had replied (where are you all??!!), opened the laptop & the Tascam suddenly springs to lift, faders move & Soft LCD app shows activity correctly.
So, all appears to be OK although I don't really know why...!!

Can't find control surfaces?

I am trying to set up a MIDI controller using automap, and when I go through Logic>Preferences, the Control Surfaces option doesn't show up. I have also tried searching the "Help" engine, but it doesn't come up. Where can I find it?

Have you tried turning on "Show advanced tools" under the "Advanced" tab in Logic Preferences? Also, make sure "Control Surfaces" is checked in the "Advanced" preferences tab.

Can you name video/audio tracks in FCP?

instead of V1, V2, V3... can you title or name these tracks?

I used to think it would be cool, too, way back when Media 100 was Avid's main competition. But M100 talked us out of it.
It's only a good option if the names carry through to EDL and other output options from FCP (or Avid, whatever an Avid is).
I've worked on huge audio projects, 24-30 tracks. I've never been particularly lost and I've never worked on a system where naming the tracks was possible. So it has never really struck me as useful or desirable.
Personally, I'd like to see tons of things FIXED before Apple starts adding more features and options but be sure to drop this request into the FCP FEEDBACK folder.

How can you remove the Save button on a survey?

What options are there to remove the SAVE button from a SharePoint survey?
I need to remove this if possible, I was hoping it would be as simple as editing a form in the Survey list... but that is apparently not the case.
I need to supress the SAVE button as it confuses end users and we don't want any half completed surveys. Either it gets finished or not at all.
Can someone hopefully provide me with an nice simple solution? Or any solution at all :)
Thanks!

Hi,
Save button on the surveys with multiple question or with branching logic enabled is an out of the box feature and it is by design.
If you want to remove the “save” button in a survey, I think you can use JavaScript to hide this button:
1. Open your site in SharePoint Designer.
2. Open your survey list newform.aspx page, in the code view, find this code “<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server"> <table>……. </table> “add the JavaScript” </asp:Content>”, add JavaScript before the “</asp:Content>” tag:
<script>
var x=document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++)
if (x.item(i).type=="button"&&x.item(i).value=="Save")
{x.item(i).style.display = "none"};
</script>
After this, you will not see the “Save” button when create new survey response. You can also add this JavaScript in the editform.aspx page.
Hope it can help you.

Can you add a Print Button to one page?

I have a form with 15 or so pages of information. I do not want the submitter to get a printout of the entire thing. However, they are given a chance to pay via PayPal or pay by mailing a check.
If they chose PayPal, no big deal. If they chose to mail a check - I would like them to either GET a print out of the last page, or have a button they press to get a print out of the last page. This page would be required to be sent along with the check so I can tie it back to the record.
Is this possible?
Thank you!
Jeanine

What is it you need to accomplish?
If you just want work to be saved as people move through the form, you could prompt them to hit the save link, if you've enabled it. This would allow them to come back to the form and finish it later, and preserves all selections and filled-in information. When they then hit the "Submit" button at the end of the form, all of their info deposits into the data set.
If you don't mind the data being split across multiple data sets, you could create multiple small single-page forms, and when the respondent hits the "Submit" button, they could be automatically redirected to the next form. You would set this up in the form Options tab and select the Redirect URL panel.
Otherwise, follow Josh's suggestion for a PDF.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Can You Change the Highlighted Button in the Find Font Palette?

I have several hundred spreads that I converted from Quark to InDesign CC and a few fonts are missing, so I need to replace them. I can use the "Find/Replace" window to take care of most of them using the "find format" function, but one doesn't show up as a choice, so I have to change it using the Find Font palette. I select the missing font name and then select the replacement. Then, if I hit the "enter" button on the keyboard, the palette closes because the highlighted button is the "Done" button. Is there a way to change the highlighted button to the "Change All" one?
Thanks,
Lloyd

John,
Thanks for the reply. I tried using the tab key and although it does change the highlighted button, you can't just press "enter" to select it. I also tried ALT+A (option+A) and it did nothing. I should have mentioned that I'm using a Mac.

Can you use an image button to load a CFWINDOW?

Is it possible to use an image to open a cfwindow instead of
a regular button input type?

All I had to do was to use a regular link instead of using
the input tag. This is because the OnClick event can be used in a
input that has a type of button and on regular "<a href..."
links. However, you cannot use the onClick when you have an input
type of image.
