Change Duration of Animated Type?

The animated types come with a preset duration - i.e., 2 sec. Is there a way to change the duration when using the type in Motion?
Thanks for any help.

I knew that the animated fonts were little movies - that's obvious. I also know that it's not immediately apparent what I need to do and that the controls are less than intuitive. If they were intuitive and readily apparent, I wouldn't have posed the question. What would be helpful would be if someone answered my question, described how to work the controls and gave me some insight from their vast experience, not told me to read the tutorials. I looked through them before I asked for help. Maybe someone with a more helpful approach will try to answer the question.

  • Changing duration after applying motion properties?

    I have a series of still images that I applied scaling and motion to and I now want to change their duration so I right-click, choose Speed/Duration and change the timecode for the duration to make the still image take less time on screen. After doing this the scaling and motion no longer work. Is there a way to change still image duration after applying scaling and motion to them?
    Thanks.

    Looking for some answers (Oh I realise this thread is 1 year old!) about clips duration I bumped into this one. I wonder if part of the above problem had something to do with pictures coming from different cameras - I seemed to notice that with the same preference choice some clips seem to interpret the duration differently? Probably when the aspect ratio is different from one camera to another, or if one has changed his or her aspect ratio on that camera in a shooting session.
    I do remember that to change the duration default via preference it has to be done before importing photos in the project windows or has someone pointed out, re import them after changing the default.,
      I also thought after changing the duration of clips that had key frame for various functions, the new duration may have excluded those key frames because the shortening had truncated the part where the end key frames were,  thus making them void.
    (I'm a little surprised to be in this thread as I had written in the "question" field "still images duration" and was in another thread with 5 entries, the last one from Anne Benz with a shot of a time line, also from Oct 2012! But some how when I tried to add to it, I could not and found for unknown reason I was not signed on! But now I come back signed on with the same question I'm in the different thread?)
    Perhaps the following may be interesting and helpful for some. Changing duration of still in the time line can be quite useful when one needs to match the Video sequence with its added Audio.   As you have a display of stills with transitions, animation etc. and you add some music to it. If they don't quite finish at the desire point. (usually with the end of the music, song). You can fine tune it (like within a few seconds) by shortening or lengthening the clip, clips duration. And if it's ok with what  you have you can select the whole (video)  time line  and after deciding how much is the difference between your portion of music and your clips apply that time. Sometimes using only a few clips is enough other times the whole of it works better.  I find it's ok only for a few seconds though as there are a couple of problem with this, The key frames may need to be readjusted and or even be out of action (as explained earlier) In that case it's probably better to have the video clips on a sequence of their own then add the music on a new sequence and match them this way on the same time line.
    PS: Titles and anything relying in proper timing placement above this video display timeline needs to be checked, perhaps included or adjusted with clip or clips duration change.
    I really was looking at ways of creating a sequence with a variety of animations that I could re used for other project with the "Copy" then "Paste Attributes" in the hope it would be quicker than going back to the "Contor Effect" function all the time. I remember using (MS Movie Maker) and it had a few icons for this purpose that one would apply for a clip. It was rigid but quite effective. This way even if I needed to adjust the key frames, they would already be in place. (I already use this technic with similar pics, I copy one animation I like and "paste attributes to  a bunch of pics, sometimes reverse the key frames, "copy" then select alternate pics from the previous selection and paste the new attributes to them... May be not everyone's taste!
      So if I could import such a sequence in my Projects and place it on Video 2  with each pic. labelled with its appropriate animation and obviously key-framed accordingly. (I would have created a photo folder and renamed each of its photos with one of the desired labels, ie Pan down, Pan left, Zoom in, Rotate %,  etc) - But I thought I hit a snag with the duration....
    I have actually gave this a quick try and it seems to have some value. I just found out that it's worthwhile to get the shortest but meaningful labeling for this "templates" in order to identify them easily in their smallest view (time line zoomed out) ie Pan Left  = PL, PR, PU, Zi, Zo etc.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • HOW TO Change behaviour of attendance type

    Hi guys,
    I have a question for you:
    - I have an attendance "9500 Extra Time", for overtime, introduced through IT 2002, which belongs to attendance type "O" (Overtime). When time schema is executed, attendances of this type are added to table TIP (6th time pair):

    But after that, when function "P2005" is processed, this time pair overwrites overlapped pair, and time pair type is changed to "M":

    OK, THIS IS MY QUESTION:
    I need attendance "Formation" to work as attendance "Extra Time". I'm not going to change Formation's attendance type (B), so I want to know how can I change the behaviour of absence type "B" so overlapped time pairs are overwritten as now actually happens with attendance type "O".
    I don't know where to change this, could you please help me?
    Thank you a lot.

  • Change the backend doc type from PR to PO in BADI BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS.

    Hi,
    We have followed below approach for backend document type determination.
    1. A custom function module contains the logic to determine the backend document type of a Shopping cart line item. THis function module, performs many checks and hence cannot be called in any BADI that is executed in Foreground.
    2. I am using BADI BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS to change the follow document type by calling the custom function module.
    Issue here is, if the backend document type of a line item is Purchase requisition (2) by SAP standard, and if I try to change it to Purchase order, it gives run time error and ends up in creation of Purchase order.
    After further investigation I found that this line item (with default backend doc type as 2) has a desired vendor. If we change the desired vendor of this line item to fixed(To Partner function 19 from partner function 39), it allows us to change the doc type from Purchase requisition to purcahse order in BADI BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS.
    But changing the partner function is possible only in BBP_DOC_CHANGE BADI, and I cannot call the custom function module there, as it may impact the performance.
    Is there any other way, I can change the partner function in any of the BADIs called in background?
    Or Is there any way by which I can change the backend document type from PR to PO in BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS?

    Hi Parab
    if you swaping 39 to 19 viadoc change badi
    REQUESTER has a control on Purchase ORDER Vendor and BUYER lost a control so your business has to decide.In this case procurement department lost their control.
    Fixed vendors are like inforecord and contract negotiated for best price ..

  • "completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work for sql file

    Hi there,
    Just updated to 3.1 on my Mac Lion. It's very likely a bug since it used the work with 3.0.
    I have a "temp.sql" file where I store several queries. I start SQL Developer, open "temp.sql", connect to a DB but "completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work anymore.
    If I click in "Unshared SQL Worksheet", the new worksheet tab will work fine with completion and change case, but I want to use my temp.sql and save things there when closing the application.
    To reproduce yourself the issue:
    Open SQL Dev, connect to a DB (it will open a worksheet), do some queries and check that change case and completion are working, quit SQL Dev, but save the worksheet in a sql file before. Re-open SQL Dev and open the sql file. Connect to the same DB and try to change the queries or create another. Completion and change case won't work anymore.

    Well, it's partially working, if your sql file is big (like mine), say with more than 1000 lines, then, maybe because of memory usage, the automatic completion won't work as expected, though, sometimes, after a while, crtl-space would stil work.
    So, the problem may have been addressed, but I believe this feature can be definitely improved.

    OK, THIS IS MY QUESTION:
    I need attendance "Formation" to work as attendance "Extra Time". I'm not going to change Formation's attendance type (B), so I want to know how can I change the behaviour of absence type "B" so overlapped time pairs are overwritten as now actually happens with attendance type "O".
    I don't know where to change this, could you please help me?
    Thank you a lot.

    Hi Gurus,
    Thanks for the reply,
    I have change text through KL02,but when i enter again in KL02,the system shows:
    Act type  COAr  Short Text   Language  Valid from   to
    LABOR    9000   Labour        EN           1.4.07        31.3.99
    Hence it is still showing LOBOR but in short text it is coming as "LABOUR"
    Pl advise,how i can change "Act Type Col" and put Labour in said column.
    Regards,
    Samar

  • Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there.  For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color.  For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
    What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted.  Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something.  You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

  • How to Change the Value Field Type of a Value Field

    Hi,
    How can I change the value field type from Currency to Quantity of a value field? I have tried to do it in KEA6. I can change the value field and its description, but not the value field type from currency to qty. If I change this config, is there any other changes that I need to make so there is no side issue of this change?

    Hi Prem,
    Once you created value field as quantity or currency, you can not change this nature of value field. Based on this, system creates lots of data and tables. For this reason system will not allow any changes in quantity or currency.
    Alternative way is to remove the old value field and  create a new value field assign to operating concern and put all your seetings.
    Please let me know if you require any clarifications.
    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Santosh
