Changeing duration and frequency of beep?

Hi,
this default pc speaker beep in Xorg annoys me, so I tried all the given solutions from this thread: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dis … eaker_beep, and from arch wiki page, for disabilng it. The only solution that works for me is blacklisting pc_spkr from modules in /etc/rc.conf file.
Now, this could sound a little "perverse" to someone, but I don't want to completely turn off beep, I just want to lower it's duration and frequency in Xorg. The only way that I know of is by using:
xset b [and now numbers]
But unfortunately this doesn't work even for disabling it, so what cold be the reason for this? I don't think it's something wrong with the kernel, because if I don't start X, in terminal I can accomplish what I want with this command:
setterm -blength 4
Is it a bug, or should I use something else for solution?
Thnx

ICal events changing duration and start time after .Mac sync

I sync two OS X Tiger computers (10.4.2) using .Mac to keep my iCal calendars in order. Certain events following a certain date are mutating with longer durations and different start times after syncing between the two computers.
Anyone experiencing the same problem?
Any ideas?

Two different problems here:
Try one at a time:
Quit iCal. Delete iCal preferences in your User Library: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist ( you'll have to reset iCal prefs after)
For those having problems with .Mac sync, reset the sync System Preferences/ .Mac/ Advanced tab.
Come back with results

I have changed provider and had a new router . Laptop was chaneged wifi frequency but iPad was not. The ipad is 32gb and is now going very slowly like dial up. The laptop is only 4gb and is faster. The speed if Internet is about 6.5. it worked fine before we chaneged provider . Do I need to change wifi channel or does it do it automatically. How do you changed it ?

Try a new channel on your router, most router has a web interface, use your computer browser try http://192.168.0.1
also check your router manual.

How to change duration of music on menu?

Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 - Windows Vista 64bit
I'm getting there. (Thanks to your help!)
I started from (almost) "scratch" so I'd have a nice "clean" video to burn to a DVD. I've reset all my chapter markers. Perfect, in Preview. I've chosen my menu and adjusted the motion scene selection buttons. Gorgeous, in Preview. I don't like the "default" music that comes with the menu I chose. I read some old threads here and found there is a 30 second limit, so I used Audacity to cut a WAV clip that's 16.23 seconds long to use as a loop. Here's the problem:
I clicked "Browse" and selected the same music clip for the Main Menu and each of three successive Scene Selection pages. Works fine on the Scene Selection pages, but the Main Menu won't play past 13 seconds for some inexplicable reason. I tried manually adjusting the "duration" to 16.23, but it snaps back to 13 as soon as I hit Preview.
I've closed the program, restarted my computer, made a new (identical) music clip (just in case the Main Menu didn't want to "share") but it still won't take it. It plays the first 13 seconds then abruptly loops back to the start, which is NOT a *smooth* transition - but it would be, IF it would play the whole 16.23 seconds like the other menu pages do without any problem.
I'm open to suggestions, but I sure hope I don't have to start over again. Oh, BTW - I tried switching to a totally different Disc Menu, just out of curiosity, and that one played the whole music clip on the Main Menu page without a problem... but I don't like the look of that menu, I want the other one - the one that's giving me grief (of course). Don't understand why it would work on one and not the other.
Please advise. Many thanks in advance. Cheers, Val
To answer a question one of you (Bill?) asked on the previous thread about my source material --
It was originally a PAL video cassette, converted to NTSC DVD. It's all on my computer now - four VOB files: three @ .99GB each, and one @ 691 MB. It's a one-hour Peter Allen TV Special broadcast in Australia. I am removing the advertising and making a menu that will allow selection of each song individually. I want more of a "concert" and less of a "TV show" as the finished product.

Here are the results of my test of the Broadway Menu Set and the exact steps that I used. It starts a bit before the work with the Video and Audio, but this might be useful to someone creating a Menu Set for use with PrE.
I got the Standard (4:3) PSD’s for the Broadway Menu Set, both the Main Menu (mm) and Scene Selection (ss), plus the MPG and the MP3 files. To get these Menus to display in PrE’s Create Menus selection area, I Opened the PSD’s in Photoshop, and created the PNG “thumbnails” for them, using the naming convention of the other PNG thumbnails as my guide. I first resized each PSD to 160 x 128 pixels, and then did a Save_As_PNG-8, using the correct naming convention, used elsewhere. These were placed into a new “(V) Broadway” folder with the PSD’s, the Motion Asset MPEG and the Audio MP3 file. All displayed fine in PrE 4.
In a PrE Project, I took the original Broadway MPEG and used TimeStretch to increase its Duration to the 29;20, that I had used before (that would match my Audio file from earlier tests), and did a Share, choosing MPEG. This resulted in an m2v, but that worked fine.
In PrE’s Create Menus Panel, I chose the new, stretched m2v, and the Duration changed to match the 29;20 Duration of the Motion Asset. Next, I linked to the previous SmartSound WAV, that was edited to have a Duration of exactly 29;20. The Duration for that Asset changed to 29;20 instantly.
I previewed and the searchlights were now slower (as was to be expected) and the limo was also slower pulling in and out. The Menu’s Motion Background was smooth, but slower. The new Audio with Fade-in and Fade-out, played perfectly, and the Menu Looped very nicely. Actually the Looping was now better than with the original MPEG and MP3 Assets! This was a nice surprise, as there was a bit of a jolt, when the original Audio Looped. Not sure what could be done to eliminate that, but think that it would be easily accomplished in Audition, or Audacity. Maybe a test for another day.
I burned a DVD RW and the Menu worked perfectly. I did not complete the test by altering the Scene Selection Menus (in my test Project, I needed three of these), but feel confident that they would function the same way.
In conclusion, if one needs to use other Audio source files, this can be done, so long as one takes two things into consideration: the Video Motion Asset will determine the Looping/Duration, and the Duration must be < 30;00. I chose 29;20 to give myself a bit of headroom. Now, one needs to consider the visual effect of using TimeStretch to modify the Duration of a Background Video - here, it was fine. The Audio needs to match perfectly, or be ever so slightly shorter (I’m talking about a few Audio Units here - slight indeed), than the Video Asset.
Now, one is still limited to the 30;00 Duration limit, in PrE, but up to that point, the chosen Audio can be just as long as the Video.
I strongly recommend using a short Fade-in and Fade-out on the Audio, so that there is a lead-in/lead-out that will keep from having harsh jumps with the Loop.
Hope that this helps someone in the future.

How to calculate rms voltage, rms current and frequency from real time data?

Hello,
I need to calculate the real time rms voltage, rms current and frequency of the received voltage and current graphs using visa read. Actually am trying to monitor the voltage and current parameters of AC load, in this case, am using a set of 4 light bulbs at the moment. Expected frequency is 50 Hz, and rms voltage close to 240v AC, current about 1A.
Attached is the vi picture of what I have been able to achieve so far, courtesy of labview forums. But I need to finally finish this vi by calculating the Vrms, Irms and frequecy. The front panel shows the voltage (Chart V) and current (Chart I) after scaling. Chart VI represents ADC value 0 ~ 1023 of received data. Aray V & I show the binary bits received up to 10 bits of useful data from ADC. Each sine wave from ADC is sampled at 25 samples for the ADC conversion, and sampling frequency of 1.28kH.
I have tried using the RMS vi, but seems I don't know how to configure it correctly to get desired results. Also when I make changes like switching of one of the bulbs so that their is current change, I need to refresh the SERIAL port first before changes show up on the VI. Any ideas on how to improve on this are highly appreciated.
Otherwise, I would appreciate if somebody helps me MODIFY my VI to read the rms values and frequency from received data. This is the last piece of my project, I do appreciate all the help rendered. Am currently using labview labview 2014, student version!
Gavin.

hello,
note that peak voltage (Vpeak) is (240 * 1.414) = 399 V and peak current about 1.414 if intended rms current is 1A.

Preset or change duration of still photos in iMovie project

Hi,
I work with iMovie 11 and never had any problem with previous versions.
Now I'm doing my first project in iM 11 and it just ignores my requests
When I set the duration in 'Project Properties' 'Apply to all photos' to e.g. 4 sec it will set the duration anything from 5 to 7 sec and no matter how often I change it will not react. If I set it to 3 sec (as an example) it will allow 5 sec. but never what I would like the duration to be.
This is a really annoying issue, more so when there a lot of still photos in the project.
Is there any way to rectify this or what else can I do???

"problems setting duration for still photos and transitions in iMovie '11"
A number of people have experienced the same problem and written about it on discussions. Lots of difference solutions as well. If you search using the title quoted above, you can read the solution I found. It's more complicated than it should be. I've never had to fiddle as much with duration times for transitions and still photos. Nevertheless, the steps I have described work for me. You will also find the steps another reader offered that may work for you if all of your transitions are set for the same durations and all of the still photos are as well.

How to change duration of selected still image Clips?

iMove is great in all its simplicity. However coming from the Windows (Pinnacle Studio) side I have yet a few mysteries to solve: Changing duration of a single still image clip is trivial, but it seems impossible to do the same operation selecting two or more clips. Did I miss anything? You can specify the duration and apply to all clips, but I have found no way to apply e.g. 4 sec duration to half of the 220 slides in my slideshow. Cmd+R on 100 still images seems like a fairly unintelligent approach. Hints, anyone?

Hi
Anybody?
I'm having the same problem.
I have 500 stills in my timeline (iMovie 06 HD) and there seems to be no way to change the duration of more than one still at a time.
This cannot be right. Please tell me what I am missing!
According to another thread about this issue, the answer was that after I select my group of stills in the timeline, I should be able to open "Media" and "Photos" in iMovie, and then set the stills duration settings that way.
But the button "Show Photo Settings" is greyed out, so I am unable to set the group stills duration.
Any help?
PLEASE?

Change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Here's my situation:
I have a song at 127 BPM. I have a music video (muted sound) at 125 BPM.
I've spent a long time slicing up clips from the video into different channels and muliple clips to form one timeline (but with many clips and channels lined up).
I now want to change the overall duration of the video clip to match the BPM of the song (which I should have done in the first place), but the video is, as previously stated, sliced up in mulitple clips in multiple channels. How can I change the duration of all clips at one time, where the end and start of the clips still line up to eachother?
This would've been incredibly easy if there were a un-nesting feature. Where I can nest multiple clips, change the duration, and un-nest the clips to slices clips with a changed overall duration. (Which is not possible. Yes, I can drag the clips out of the nested clip, but the clips will still have the original duration).
TL;DR: How can I change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Never mind. I've found a alternate solution. I used a time stretch calculator at http://mp3.deepsound.net/eng/samples_calculs.php and time stretched all the clips to match the BPM of the song. Now I only need to snap all the clips, which can be done one by one, but I found this trick to snap all the clips at once: http://vimeo.com/27428526.
I'll just let this thread stay open so other with the same problem can find this

Quick way of changing duration of multiple still images.

Hello
I'm putting together a slideshow of 76 images. In the browser they have defaulted to 10 sec duration and I need to get it down to 2. Is there a way of changing them all in one go or do I need to go through and change each one individually?
Many Thanks
Adrian

BTW, You can change the duration of the stills directly in the timeline
by selecting them, right clicking and changing the duration field to desired length.

Role Assignment changes Duration

I must be going nuts. I need to assign a role to a task
with a duration of 90
days, and have him only
devote a total of 90 hours to that task over the <br
/>entire 90 days' duration.
<br
/>When I assign the role, and change the BLU to 90, it
changes the OD to 11.
If I go back and change
the OD back to 90, P6.1 sets the RD to (90-11) 79. If
I then go and change the RD to 90, it resets
the Role's BLU to 720. It's a
big circle I
need to escape. I've never had this issue in P3. What am I
doing
wrong? Some setting? I looked, but I
just can't figure it out.
PS...I
did convert this project over from MSP2007, but I haven't
had this issue with other conversions.
<br
/>Basically, I need a role to spend only an hour a day
on this task for a
duration of 90 days. How do
I do that?
Jim

Check your Duration Type. It helps if it were "Fixed
Duration and Units" or "Fixed Duration and
Units/Time". Then you enter the OD and Units/Time or
Units.

Change duration of all photos

How do you change the duration of all photos? I have over 100 photos in my movie, and they automatically import at a default length of 5 sec. Is there a way to change the default import setting for clip/photo duration? Or is there a way to batch change all photos in my movie to a set duration if I want them all to be the same length? Rather than changing the length of each photo individually...

There is a problem with the photo settings for very short clips from stills. The Ken Burns setting goes wonky for clips less than 18 frames -- not just the zoom extents, but number of frames, also.
While you can set a still to a minimum of three frames (0:00:03), you cannot do it from the Photo Settings dialog box -- and you can only make the settings one clip at a time.
If you double-click on a frame (or control-click and choose "Show Info"), you'll get a "Clip info" dialog in which the clip's duration can be changed to 0:00:09 frames. But you may have to change your work-flow habit just a bit. Select the target photo in the media panel. When the Photo Settings box appears, uncheck Ken Burns, reduce the duration slider to minimum, and zoom and position the shot as desired. Then click "Apply" to place the still photo on the clip viewer. Once your photos are on the clip viewer, double-click them (one-at-a-time) to open the Clip Info window for that clip. Set your intended duration and move on to the next one.

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.

Where to change duration multiple selected clips

In previous answers I've read if you have selected all clips (Cmnd A) and you want to change duration of all still images you press
Ctrl D (change duration) but WHERE on the screen do you change it. If I move the playhead it looses its Ctrl D command. I cannot change the seconds in the timer on the timeline either...? Thanks, Pim

I'm sorry Tom, what is the dashboard. Is it in the middle of the screen above the timeline, with the green numbers (hrs:minutes:seconds:frames). If I do what you suggest these numbers turn out blue (next to the blue numbers the sign of a clip with handlels pop up) but when I try to enter the numner there, or in tne Info screen on the upper right sight where its says Duration, I cannot enter any number. It unselects...?
Nor in the Timeline a cannot drag one of the sides of one of the selected clips (images).
So I got stuck after Cmnd-A (select all images), Ctrl-D...
Regards, Pim

Change 5622 sampling frequency

Hi,
I am working on a PXI project to generate a single tone frequency signal, (which will be modulated by vital signs) and then demodulate the signal and view the time domain demodulated signal and its spectrum. I am able to generate the signal and view the demodulated wave but the problem is I am using PXI 5663 for the receiver (and 56773 to transmit the single tone signal) and the 5622 digitizer has a very high sampling rate(150MS/s) which is too high for vital signs (whose frequency is not more than 10-12Hz).
I want to change the sampling rate of 5622 and I read a couple of sites (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370592P-01/digitizers/5622_clocking/) and documents on
I am using PXI Clock as the Reference Clock Source to synchronize the 5673 and 5663 so how can I change the clock frequency of 5622?
I tried using the Decimate and Resample vi s to change the sampling frequency of the received waveform but I did not get any output.(Please find attached the vi and the front panel description of the demodulate vi;the transmission vi is the default RFSG Single Tone Generation).
I am stuck at this point and don't know how to proceed.
Could someone please help me out?
Thanks so much,
Sharmi
