Change default background color in FCE

I should know this but... I don't.
I'm making a series of short videos to be used in a flash application. I need for the background default color to be pure white so any fade in/out's, etc are always white.
Can anyone tell me how to set this up?
Thanks

Thank you.
How do I make the entire background white always? It seems I read something somewhere but can't remember. I have things in the timeline that are transparent and want to have white behind them.
Is there a way to make the background always white?

Change default background color in Dynamic pages

Anyone knows how to change the default background color of a
dynamic content page in WEBDB 2.2?.
I want to display some information with a query in a Dynamic
Content Page but the background color is, by default, beige.
I try to force the the background color placing the html tag
<td bgcolor=#FFFFFF> but there is still a beige strip at the
left side of the table.
Thanks

Hi Richard,
For about how to inspect page element, you can use IE Developer Tools:

Changing default background color in Imovie

How do I change the default mode of the background being black on the sides of a picture in portrait when using Imovie?

It's an excellent resource Karsten - you'll love it. Most people probably assume it's just for presentations, but it has plenty of other uses. I often prepare slides in Keynote for use in an iMovie (or iPhoto) slideshow. Otherwise, you can do the full slideshow in Keynote, using all the animations for titles and transitions between slides. That can also be imported (as a .mov file) to iMovie for further refinement and addition of other media. I use slides with a size of 1280 x 720 - this would suit your method of capturing 720p video for use in iMovie.
You can also add video clips to slides (as many as will fit on a slide). I posted information about this recently in the forum. The poster was wanting to place 2 video clips side-by-side on a black background, with each clip enclosed in a frame - very easily done in Keynote!
Have fun with Keynote (I do).
John
PS. Here's an example of what I just described. There is a video clip in each frame, but not playing of course:

How to change the background color of a sequence?

I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 on Win7 x64. I've imported a JPEG that's a different size than my 1920 x 1080 frame. The background of this JPEG is white, but the background of the sequence is black (by default), so the borders of the JPEG make it stand out. I want the JPEG to blend into the sequence background by making the sequence background white. How can I change the sequence background color? Thanks.

Jim and Ann are correct. I can see where someone used to After Effects might ask that question though because in AE you can change the background color of the composition. Same with Photoshop.
However, I think it would confuse things if changing the background color were to be allowed in Premiere Pro. Black tells me something. I suppose white could tell me the same thing, but at this time it is not possible in Premiere Pro.

How to change the background color of a Tab Canvas

Hi All,
I accidentally changed existing background color of a tab Canvas to ' gray' which is not matching with main canvas (which has default).
How can I change background color to default. Please help me.
-Thanks

In the property palette of the tab page, click on the "Background Color" property and click the "Inherit" button on the top of the property palette, this will revert the value of the property to the default when the tab page was created which is <Unspecified>.
But if your tab page has inherited the color from a property class it will revert to what was specified in the property class.

How to change the background color of a cell based on other cell background

Hi,
Sorry if this is a basic question - I am new to XML. I want to create a table column, with no data in it. I then want to change the background color of the column based on the background color of other columns. I.E.
- If there are 3 or less cells in this row that are not green, color this cell green.
- If there are 4 or less cells in this row that are not green, and 3 or less are not red, color this cell yellow.
- If there are 4 or less cells in this row that are not green, and 3 or more are red, color this cell red.
If there are 5 or more cells in this row that are not green, color this cell red.
Many thanks for any assistance.

Okay - I have this resolved.
1. Create two variables (Yellow and Red):
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'Yellow', 0)?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'Red', 0)
2. For each cell, set the background based on their individual traffic light criteria, and update the associated color variable by 1. By default the backgrd color is set to Yellow so I only have to check for the lower and upper bounds:
<?choose:?>
<?when:number(CHECKED_IN)<=1?>
<?attribute@incontext:background-color;'Lime'?>
<?end when?>
<?when:number(CHECKED_IN)>3?>
<?attribute@incontext:background-color;'Red'?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'Red', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'Red') +1)?>
<?end when?>
<?otherwise?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'Yellow', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'Yellow') +1 )?>
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose
3. I now want a cell that is Red if any of the cells in the row is red. Its yellow of there are 3 or more yellow cells in the row, and no reds. Otherwise its green. First, create an empty cell and make the default color green. Then add:
<?if: number(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'Red')) > 0?>
<?attribute@incontext:background-color;'Red'?>
<?end if?>
<?if: number(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'Yellow')) >= 3 and number(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'Red')) = 0?>
<?attribute@incontext:background-color;'Yellow'?>
<?end if?>
4. Finally, reset the variables for the next row:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'Yellow', 0)?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'Red', 0)

How to change the background color of a desktop??

any ideas how to change the background color of a desktop?? Now the default color is blue. I couldn't fine the API in JDesktopPane on doing that..

Try the method setBackground. For me it's work.

Why can't I change the background color of my UIView in IB?

I have a rootController which controls several other ***ViewController's and I have been doing the usual thing by changing the background color in IB. However, for one controller, I cannot change it's background color from the default no matter what I do.
To be clear, each new controller created has been done in the same manner using the UIViewController subclass with nib file.
I have cleaned the project and deleted the app from my iPhone countless times and still no change.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

@ KT
I'm replying to myself because I cannot see your post ??????
From my email- KT said:
"Typically, when a same-only different controller acts up like this, the first thing to do is to rewire - sounds like you've gone down that path tho.
Can you duplicate one of the cooperative controllers, add it to the mix and see if things change there?"
I've tried all of that several times. I have no idea. Maybe some sleep will help it and me.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
Edit
As soon as I posted this - your post appeared. Again??????

Flex 4.5.1 SDK & default-background-color Compiler Argument

Hey guys,
I was scanning the available compiler arguments list (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7a92.html) for Flex 4.5 SDK and noticed that the -default-background-color argument is gone (I realize it's been gone since 4 just haven't used the SDK much lately). My background shows up as black when I run my app (it's an AS3 app with the new Away3D 4.0 Broomstick library) and there is no Flex code in my app so I was depending on this compiler argument to set my background color to white.
How can I achieve this now that the argument is no longer available? I just simply want to have a white background without physically having to create a white sprite in the back of my scene. Is this possible anymore?
Matt

Simeon,
Thanks for that, I had a brainfart and forgot you can have the properties defined in that manner. I changed it but it still wasn't working which made me realize I had to change the backgroundColor property on the view in Away3D. I realized this after trying the params for the class and then not adding the view (which had a white bg) and then i looked at the docs and bam, there it was. Thanks!

Default background color issue

Hi,
I am trying to change themes at run-time using
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(). Whenever I switch to a theme,
the default theme's background color shows up for a fraction of a
second. I tried using the "StyleEvent.COMPLETE" event handler but
it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to remove this? I want the
transition from my current theme to the next theme to be smooth
without the default background color appearing. If anybody can
please provide a solution for this, It would be a great help.
Thanks,
Jai

That's not what he's talking about... He's saying if you load

the default, green Halo theme before switching to the new style...
If I load up my white theme (White.swf -- compiled to swf from css)
and then I want to change to my red theme (Red.swf) like:
StyleManager.unloadStyleDeclarations("White.swf");
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("Red.swf");
At the * point in the execution, it will flash the green Halo
theme instead of just making a smooth transition from white to
red... It doesn't look so professional...
I have the same problem when switching themes, and it's very
annoying... Guess I'll keep an eye on this thread...

How do you change the background color?

I saved a Word document as a PDF and the background color is yellow. The Word document is white. On the PDF, the background is yellow and the inserted graphics and boxes are white.
How do I change the background color of the PDF? And is there a default setting for the color. This happens every time I need to create a PDF from a Word document.
Thank you.

Setting a default background color

Hi All,
I would like to set a default background color for all the
components that I'm going to draw. What is the best
way to achieve this?
Thanks.
Syed

You can set using UIManager of the Look and Feel.
UIManger.put("Button.background", Color.blue);
will set the color of all the JButtons to blue. Like that you can change for all the components you need.
