In Project/Properties, you can change it for all photos you add to the project in the future.
To change for all photos already in the project, there is a way to do it in iMovie 11, but I can't remember if it is also in iMovie 08. It is worth a try.
1) Pick a photo. Use thte Roate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool to set to Fit.
2) With that same photo selected, EDIT/COPY
3) EDIT/SELECT ALL
4) EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/CROP

Why can't I change the duration of a still frame?

I am running Final Cut Express 3.5.1
When I try to change the duration of a still frame it generally snaps back to the existing duration rather than changing. Occasionally it will change but never to the duration I select which is ususlly :20 to :50 of a second. It sticks on a variety of durations between 1:20 and :05. I have tried both altering and rewriting the duration.I have tried restarting as well as all of the following methods:
1 Changing the duration in the User Preferences > Editing, still duration field.
2 Ammending the browser duration column .
3 Double clicking on the still to open it in the viewer and changing the duration field.
4 Draging the still into the timeline, control clicking and changing the duration in the drop down menu.
5 I also clicked on the still in the browser > edit > item properties but there was no timing tab available to select (as suggested on another posting.)

This project is just a short animation so every time I import the stills they are of the wrong duration so I try changing the duration by the other methods described previously, fail to be able to do that, erase everything from the project, restart and start again, initially with the preferences. So there's nothing for the still frames to conflict with. It's not the fact that there is a batch of stills that is the problem either as I keep experimenting with with single or small groups of stills in that context. I've also tried importing a variety of still formats into other projects. This is fairly new software. Could this be an incurable fault?

Change Duration of set of still clips

I'm trying to change the duration of 1,115 still photo clips in the timeline (about 2.2mb jpegs each). After about 2.5 hours of effort to get them into the timeline I've selected them all and hit control D to highlight the duration thing in the middle of the screen. I type in 46.45 so that all those clips will play back close to 24fps and it changes to 14 hours. I tried typing in 2 minutes = 8 hours, then 10 minutes = 8 hours. I don't get it. No matter what number I type into the duration it changes by hours.
Oh yeah, I changed the import setting for still clips to the lowest possible amount of time and it still brought them into the timeline at 4 sec. each.
Help. Is there some special way to get the duration to stay what you type into it?
I know I'm running FCPX on a bare bones system but it really shouldn't take two days to make a 45 second timelapse.

The default length for stills is settable in the FCP X Preferences Window under the Edit tab. I believe 4 sec is the number set as default when you got the program. One way you might be able to do it is to select all the clips in the timeline (pictures that is), then make them into a new compound clip. Then select the compound clip and hit COMMAND R (for the re-timing frame to pop up). Drag the retiming handle at near the top right (2 small vertical bars) of the selected compound clip to the length of time you want. I tried this with retiming video clips made into a compound clip and it works, so I am thinking it will probably also work with stills. Hope this helps.

Oracle Inventory: How to change default category set of items

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to change the default category set of functional area inventory in oracle as we are importing new items into inventory whihc need to be assigned to a new default category set.There is an existing default categpory set for this area.
As far as i understand once a default category has been set up and an item has been defined, the only way to change the default category set for a given functional area is to update all items with the new default category set before updating the default category set/functional area relationship.
How exactly do we update the defaul category set for an existing item and change it to a new one. Since we have close to 15K items what is the best way to do this.Is there ay API available?
Thanks in Advance
AM

Hi Helios,
Thanks a lot for your response
The fix given in this document is to allign all the exisitng items to a category set (purchasing in this case). This is exactly what my doubt is. How to assign 15k items to a different category set. If i am able to allign these items i can change the default category of the functional area.
Thnaks

PS: i am using 11.5.10.2

Change default character set of JVM

Is there a way to change the default character set of JVM to say, UTF-8?
System.out.println("Default Character Set: " + new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream()).getEncoding());
System.out.println("File Encoding: " + System.getProperty("file.encoding")); On Windows
==========
Default Character Set: Cp1252
File Encoding: Cp1252
On Linux
========
Default Character Set: ASCII
File Encoding: ANSI_X3.4-1968
I would like to save on the effort of changing the many lines of code that looks like
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out)); to
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8")); Thanks

Try this:
-Dfile.encoding=utf-8
as vm argument.

Want to change default border setting for inserted subreports

hi -- When I insert a subreport into a main report, its default borders (all 4) are set to single. I want them all to be
None... and I've read that the default is None. But that's not what I'm getting.
How can I change the default border setting / restore it to what it's supposed to be?
Thanks,
Carol

This has been a development request of mine for years. Currently there is no way to default the borders to None.

Changing Default Layout Setting - User-specific

Dear Gurus,
This is related to general ALV Layout setting. When we choose Select Layout -> Choose Layout, the default layout setting will show All, is there any way by which we can change this to User-specific Layouts by default? (may be through some parameter id?).
Many Thanks!
Best Regards,

Hi ,
Can you explain me your requirement in detail.

Changing default PDF setting

Is their a way to modify the default PDF setting used in Save as PDF or force AI to use another one for each new doc? Actually, every new document open or created will use the [Illustrator Default] setting. I want a custom one to be the default. Is this possible? How?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to default my Acrobat Reader or Pro to open up certain software?
Example: I have a vector catalog with images that opens up in PDF format but when I click
on the image it's suppose to open up in Illustrator. Instead it opens up in PREVIEW.
Can anyone help please??

Can't change default video transition duration in PRE7 project

I couldn't find the solution for the following problem. In one of my Premiere Elements 7 projects, suddenly the video transition default duration changed from 30 frames to 3 frames. After inserting this 3 frames long transition, I can adjust it (expanding or shrinking) in the timeline, change the duration via the "Edit Transition" dialog box, however there is no way I can change the default duration. I can change the duration value in the Edit > Preferences > General dialog box but it has no effect on the actual duration. This is true for all transitions. On the other hand, the other projects (I checked a few), also a new project work properly: In them, the default duration is 30 frames, and I can set it in the Properties dialog box to any other value. So, this problem appears to be project specific. I hope somebody can help me, so I do not have to redo this particular project. Thanks in advance, Laci.

Steve, This is the same camcorder I have been using the last five years. Other projects from footages taken the same time are working fine. Also, I just created a 'new' (test) project from the same clips (many clips, about 25 minutes, several bmp pictures in it) - and it also works fine! It must be some very peculiar feature of that particular project, and I do not think it is worth to spend more time with it. I just thought that it might have happened with somebody else and there is a known solution. I consider this issue closed, thanks for the help. Laci. (PS: I also have an insignificant problem: I uploaded my picture to my preferences page here a couple of months ago, set it to be displayed but it does not appear. Who could help with this? Thanks.)

Changing Default Motion Setting in FCP 5

When I drag a clip from the browser to the timeline, the video automatically has a setting under the motion tab. Under distort, my aspect ratio is squished. I haven't figured out what is causing this and so every time I drag a video clip to the timeline I am having to go into the clip settings and remove the aspect ratio adjustmet.
Many Thanks

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your help.
I have a further question about taking footage from MiniDV to the web. Is it beneficial to change sequence settings like pixel aspect ratio to square and removing field dominance? I have been working with creating a group of settings both for the sequence and for compression that will help to achieve the best quality possible for web viewing.
Any help is much appreciated.

Exporting Still Frames - A quicker Way?

Is there a way to sort of automate the export of still frames? I have cmd-e mapped to "Export QuickTime Conversion," but still every time I have to name the file and change the setting to "Still Frame." Is there a plug-in or script so that I can just hit one button on the timeline and have a still on my desktop or something. This is something that's bothered for a long time.
Thanks,
Madame Psychosis

In the viewer, set an in-out on the frame you want to export, drag from the viewer to a bin (creating a sub clip of sorts).
Do this for each frame you wan to export.
Select all clips in bin and export to compressor. Use compressor for the single frame setting and that should do the trick.

Deleted page unforgettable by frame-set page or index

I created a frame-set with one frame linked to a page. A button on the index file linked to the page supporting the frame-set. I deleted that initial page linked to a frame and replaced it with a http link. I saved the changes. The frame-set preview and source code presents that http code link. Nowhere in the source code for the index file or the frame-set page is there reference to the deleted page. The index file button has been deleted and recreated with a link to the recreated frame-set. Those changes were saved. Yet in preview the index file always presents an erroneous link to the non-existent deleted page. This occurs after the site has been closed and re-opened. There's clearly a bug here I don't know how to work around. Anyone with experience with this?
Thanks again.

I have downloaded adobe files from a web site. However they are not automatically downloading and popping up in a PDF format (and they should be). The new version was downloaded on my machine this week and I'm think ing that had an impact on this procedure. Prior to new version akll I had to do was double clip on the link and it would automatically open up....what can I do to get this fixed?

Problem with rendering still frame capture in FCP7

I'm a hack, so let's keep that in mind as I ask this question....but I *did* try to look through the forum for a similar issue before I created this post.
My situation: I am pulling some HD video from a Canon Vixia into FCP and basically just piecing it together with some minor editing to match music beats, etc. for some local sports leagues. Generally I find no issues with FCP, although I've only been dabbling with it for a few months.
My problem: My latest creation here: http://anothermotherproductions.smugmug.com/Movies/2011-Lacrosse-sample-movie/17 693649_L5rr8X does something annoying. I pulled a still frame from the video clip to let it hang there for a few seconds. See the 1:01 mark. The still frame looks clear in FCP, but when exported (and I've tried a few different formats, like h.264, pro-res, and "sharing" it for iPod) the image is ugly - looks like a motion blur from an old TV or something.
I've checked that the last frame of the video clip is the frame BEFORE the still frame, so walking step by step through the sequence reveals a normal sequence of motion, with the final frame "hanging" there for a while because its the still frame.
Make sense?
Anyone have constructive input?
Thanks.

Thank you so much - that helped tremendously. Image looks great now, AND I learned something.

How do i set still frame length default?

hello,
an animator gave me some sequential .png files for a short 5 second clip.
they are all still frames, but my final cut keeps importing them each as 10 seconds in length as default.
how do i make it one frame each so that when i drag to my timeline it flows like a video?
thanks!
steven

Final Cut Pro: User Preferences: Editing Tab
First box is "Still/Freeze Duration." Set that to your desired length, in your case, one frame. When you place your frames on the timeline, they should now be one frame each.
You may have to create a new sequence for this to take effect (I can't remember right now if this is one of the settings that requires a new sequence or not).

Cs6 issue with still frame duration setting not working, possibly yosemite problem

Hi, I moved my project over to my iMac, which I updated to Yosemite awhile back. Suddenly the frame duration for stills setting defaults to 5 even though it is set at 2 for my animation project. What gives?
I just bought my master collection two years ago and spent a pretty penny. There were updates for the Mavericks update but none for Yosemite? I think there need to be and people spend too much money on these products for the support option to be so skimpy.
Hopefully someone answers this issue with a solution. Otherwise, I will not speak highly of Adobe.

As suggested by someone on a different forum, I tried downgrading the firmware to 7.6.1. By doing so, the problems disappeared and WPA2 only mode works correctly. I will file a bug report with Apple.
