Can you set editing presets?

Hello! This is my first time on the support forums, so go easy on me if I do something wrong. To explain my predicament, I make YouTube videos, and I use Final Cut Pro as my editing software. When I make videos, I often have a template. This means that the template is static while other clips that play sit on layers above it. I have to put these clips in the same place every time. The only problem with this is that I have to individually crop the area of the clips that will sit on the template and place them where I want each time. Mainly, my question is if there is a way to set a preset for it. What I mean by this is, can I set a preset that crops out the video in the same place every time if I set it to do so, or places the video in the same spot every time. This is a feature that was in my last editor on my Windows machine, Sony Vegas Pro, and it is the only thing that I miss about it. If there is a way to do this, I would love to know! Also, I can clear up what I mean even more if there is confusion. Thanks for the help!

If you have Motion you could create templates using drop zones, which I believe would accomplish what you're trying to do.  You can also include masks to display only part of the clip. These templates could then be published and would appear in the FCP X effects browser as editable templates.

    QuickTime is AppleScript aware and has its own "dictionary". Many scripts and droplets have already been compiled and you can download them from this link:
    http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
    Some need further editing to update them to version 7 features but it's not difficult using the Script Editor app.
    Tiger's new Automator app could also be used but its feature set is rather basic. Newer actions are available for download from the Mac OSX Downloads page.

  • Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?

    Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?  Doesn't appear to be a property.  I don't see a programmatic method.  I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person
    doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.

    Hi Jim,
    >>Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?
    I am afraid you could not. In Web applications, the tab order is set automatically and cannot be changed.
    (From
    https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Set-the-tab-order-for-controls-3d7f749c-5a53-42b2-bb0e-2323fa044e2e)
    >> I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.
    The goto method is a workaround, but it should be triggered by a specific event. What I can figure out is changing the order of the fields.
    If this is a feature you want to include in future versions of Access Web app, please submit a feedback as the picture below:

  • Can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.

  • How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

    How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

    In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

    I think maybe on different users on one computer - but not on the same one.

  • Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

    Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

    I had two accounts on one computer until recently. You need to use two user accounts on the computer. Note, I say I did it until recently, therefore I'm not able to confirm this still works, but assume it does.

  • Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
    I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
    For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
    Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
    I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
    I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
    I created an Automator action that does two things:
    gets the selected Finder items
    opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
    I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
    I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
    So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

  • Can you set a web page as a 'home page' on the i phone safari as you would?

    Can you set a home page or will the safari button always take you to the last web site you were on?

    You cannot set a Home Page in Safari but if you save your favorite bookmark to the home screen, you can use that to open the browser on iPhone.
    To do this:
    Open Safari and open the page you want for the "Home Page".
    Tap the "+" at the bottom of the screen and select "Save to Home Screen"
    You can then name it whatever you wish and tap Save.
    This will create an icon on the home screen that you can tap on to always open Safari to that page.

  • Can you set different colours for invitees in calendar?

    In calendar on the iphone/ipad can you set any events that you accept from invitees to a different colour so that you can instantly distinguish them from your own events?
    Cheers

    You could choose None in Preferences > General > New Mail Sound and set up a rule for each account in Preferences > Rules as follows:
    If [any/all] of the following conditions are met:
    [Account] [AccountName]
    Perform the following actions:
    [Play Sound] [Sound]
    Problem is, that would cause the sound to be played for junk mail as well — probably not what you want.

  • HT1677 Where can you set default in Safari to view as web page instead of Mobile Version?

    Where can you set the default setting in Safari to open page as web page instead of Mobile Version on iPad running iOS6.01?

    And, to make it even more fun, sometimes a website changes how it deals with Safari Mobile. A website that treated it like a desktop browser suddenly starts treating it like a cell phone. Just to mess with you. Or push an app.
    Best of luck.

  • In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?

    Every time Acrobat scans a document, I have to go to Initial View to set Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification. It does not remember the settings I last used.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can you set a project wide time limit?

    I know that you can set a time limit for each question, can you set a time limit for the entire project?

    That variable has really no sense. First of all, you have to create it and it will just be toggled when time is over. I think it is just taken over from the former Timer widget (Timer widget... to stress your learners - Captivate blog) where it had sense, because it didn't have the same functionality of jumping to a slide when time was over. Beware: the timing is not very accurate, it will start with a delay of about 1 second if you put it on the first slide (display for rest of project), and when time is over the message (you cannot escape from it) will display for 2 seconds. Had planned to blog about Timing/Hourglass interactions, but have too many plans that I didn't realize.
