Changing the length if still pictures

I'm having difficulty changing the length of time a still picture appears in my movie. I set my default to 5 seconds, but some ended up longer so I tried to manually change it by right clicking on the picture and entering in the new time, however, for some reason that did not work. What am I doing wrong? Is there any wat to change the time for all pictures at once?

Select all the still images and right-click and use duration. If those does not work could you explain exactly what you're doing in your sequence and what happens when you do it.

Changing the length of still images in the Timeline

Since a still image is just one frame, the manual says that I should change the import value to 00:00:00:01. Is there a way to control (change) the lengh of the still once it is in the Timeline? Thanks.

To change the duration on the timeline, control-click on the clip in the timeline and from the drop down menu choose "Duration". You can set the duration you want in the window that opens.
I am not sure what manual you are reading, but the import duration is entirely up to you. If you think you are going to be using the stills for approx. 20 seconds, set the import duration to that (go to the menu Final Cut Studio > User Preferences and on the Editing Pane set the Still Freeze Duration to the time you want.
The effect of this change will take place on the next files you import, and will not change existing imports.

I go to "clip adjustments" and change the length of a photo. It reverts back to original length. I also shorten it by moving the yellow "box" around a specific clip. It still reverts back to original length. Why?

Changing animation frame rate when rendering in photoshop does not change the length of the video?

I made a walk cycle animation in Photoshop CS6 and want to render it into a quicktime format. I'd like it to be 12 fps, but when I rendered it at 12 fps the video seemed to be missing frames, and the video was 3 seconds long. I have 98 frames to my animation; doing the math, at 12 fps it should be 8 seconds long. Not 3.
I was confused and for curiosity's sake I rendered the video at 6 fps, trying to really slow it down. The video ended up being STILL 3 seconds long and only maybe 20 frames. I was missing literally 70 frames. I'm so upset with this rendering thing, I could chuck my computer at the wall.
Does anybody know of a solution to this?
edit: If it means anything, I've tried rendering it straight from the frame view and the timeline view. Each time I render it I have the timeline frame rate match the rendering frame rate as well.

Photoshop CS6 and CC support two types of animation Frame animations and a Video Timeline
Changing the frame rate should not change the length of a video timeline. It should just change the number of frames that are rendered. To change the length of a video you need to change the length of the video timeline. If you increase the length of the timeline and there is audio I'm quite sure there will be a problem with it, The Video part will most likely be better then the sound. The required number of extra frames can be generated however the video may look like slow motion. If you decrease the length the motion will speed up. The length of a video is normally done be editing video clips which are trimmed and stitched together to get the desired duration. Not normally done by altering the duration of a clip.
The duration a of Frame animation is the sum of the times each frame is displayed. In a frame animation the length of time a frame is displayed can be varied it not a normal motion picture video. To have a smooth frame animation you need a sufficient number of frames that are different from each other to show smooth motion. You can use Photoshop Frame animation tween feature to have Photoshop manufacture frames to help with a smoothing the animation. Once you have a frame animation the length with the motion you want you can have Photoshop convert it to a video timeline and render a normal motion picture video. It will not have audio but you can add audio to it.

How can I change the length of multiple lines at the same time?

This just seems like it should be a no-brainer, but obviously for me it isn't. I'm trying to change the length of multiple lines, that are at different angles, at the same time, in CS4. Basically, I design the face of dials used for airplane instrument gauges (like RPM, Torque, etc), and they have gradiation marks (lines) located all around, similar what a clock looks like with the hour and minute gradiation marks (lines). Is there a way to select all the lines, that I know are the same length, and change it to a different length, that's accurate to the 1/100th of an inch? It would just be like selecting multiple lines that have all the same stroke, then using the stroke box to change the stroke weight from .025in to .030in.
I've used the transform box to change the 'height' of a line before, but the line has to be at 90 degrees (straight up and down), and that won't work for the lines that are at, say, a 45 degree angle.
I hope i'm explaining this in a way that someone will understand. If not, I can sure try to clarify more, or insert the picture so you could see what i'm talking about.
Thanks for any help you can give!

OK, after fiddling around with everyone's ideas, I think I finally got it. I knew there had to be something with proportions between W and H, but couldn't figure out the math, until Jacob answered with:
"If each line must be strecthed from the inner/outer end, you may select each and use the Transform palette, choosing the right Reference Point, multiplying by the proportion in W or H (1.75/1.5), and Ctrl/Cmd clicking."
Now, I basically did everything above, (but I couldn't figure out what you were talking about with the Ctrl Clicking thing), except after figuring out the right proportion (which ends up being so small you guys would die if I told you the number; the numbers I gave earlier were just an example and much larger than what i'm really working with) I just clicked the little chain next to the W and H boxes to constrain the proportions. I then put the new number (multiplied proportion by whatever was in W) in the W box. The line lengthened perfectly toward the center of the dial, keeping the correct angle!
And Harron-Thanks for the link to Teri's, It is going to help with some things I do, but most of the dials I design don't have equal distances between each gradiation mark, and the blueprints I work off of usually have exactly what distances that the grad. marks are supposed to be. So, after selecting one of my grad marks that is already at it's correct place, I then use the rotate tool and Alt-Clicking the very center of the dial, I can then put in exactly what distance I want the next grad. mark to be at, I hit copy (instead of OK) and there will be a new grad. mark exactly the correct distance from my original. Then if I want to have the 3rd grad. mark I just hit Ctrl-D and it will copy another mark to the next position. I don't know if you necessarily wanted to know all that, but i thought i'd explain why I like doing it that way.
A BIG thanks to everyone! I'm really a AI newbie and am the only one at my company that knows how to use it, so I don't have anyone close to ask stupid questions to. So I appreciate all your help!

Changing the length of a key field in a table

Hi,
I want to increase the length of the field from 2 to 4 in a standard SAP table and deliver it to the customers. This field is a key field in table. This field from this table is also used in view and view clusters.
What is the implication of changing the length to the customers. The customers would have already data in this field and they should not loose any data. Will the existing data for customers remain at length 2 or do they have to do some conversion?
Regards,
Srini.

hi,
The database table can be adjusted to the changed definition in the ABAP Dictionary in three different
ways:
By deleting the database table and creating it again. The table on the database is deleted, the inactive
table is activated in the ABAP Dictionary, and the table is created again on the database. Data
existing in the table is lost.
By changing the database catalog (ALTER TABLE). The definition of the table on the database is
simply changed. Existing data is retained. However, indexes on the table might have to be built again.
By converting the table. This is the most time-consuming way to adjust a structure.
If the table does not contain any data, it is deleted in the database and created again with its new
structure. If data exists in the table, there is an attempt to adjust the structure with ALTER TABLE. If the
database system used is not able to do so, the structure is adjusted by converting the table.
Field 1     Field 2,    Field 3
NUMC,6 CHAR 8    CHAR, 60
Field 1    Field 2       Field 3
NUMC,6 CHAR, 8     CHAR,30
The following example shows the steps necessary during conversion.
Starting situation: Table TAB was changed in the ABAP Dictionary. The length of field 3 was reduced
from 60 to 30 places.
The ABAP Dictionary therefore has an active (field 3 has a length of 60 places) and an inactive (field 3
still has 30 places) version of the table.
The active version of the table was created in the database, which means that field 3 currently has 60
places in the database. A secondary index with the ID A11, which was also created in the database, is
defined for the table in the ABAP Dictionary.
The table already contains data.
Step 1: The table is locked against further structure changes. If the conversion terminates due to an
error, the table remains locked. This lock mechanism prevents further structure changes from being
made before the conversion has been completed correctly. Data could be lost in such a case.
Step 2: The table in the database is renamed. All the indexes on the table are deleted. The name of the
new (temporary) table is defined by the prefix QCM and the table name. The name of the temporary
Step 3: The inactive version of the table is activated in the ABAP Dictionary. The table is created on the
database with its new structure and with the primary index. The structure of the database table is the
same as the structure in the ABAP Dictinary after this step. The database table, however, does not
contain any data.
The system also tries to set a database lock for the table being converted. If the lock is set, application
programs cannot write to the table during the conversion.
The conversion is continued, however, even if the database lock cannot be set. In such a case
application programs can write to the table. Since in such a case not all of the data might have been
loaded back into the table, the table data might be inconsistent.
You should therefore always make sure that no applications access the table being converted
during the conversion process.
Step 4: The data is loaded back from the temporary table (QCM table) to the new table (with MOVECORRESPONDING).
The data exists in the database table and in the temporary table after this step.
When you reduce the size of fields, for example, the extra places are truncated when you reload the
data.
Since the data exists in both the original table and temporary table during the conversion, the storage
requirements increase during the process. You should therefore verify that sufficient space is available in
the corresponding tablespace before converting large tables.
There is a database commit after 16 MB when you copy the data from the QCM table to the original
table. A conversion process therefore needs 16 MB resources in the rollback segment. The existing
database lock is released with the Commit and then requested again before the next data area to be
converted is edited.
When you reduce the size of keys, only one record can be reloaded if there are several records whose
key cannot be distinguished. It is not possible to say which record this will be. In such a case you should
clean up the data of the table before converting.
Step 5: The secondary indexes defined in the ABAP Dictionary for the table are created again.
Step 6: The temporary table (QCM table) is deleted.
Step 7: The lock set at the beginning of the conversion is deleted.
If the conversion terminates, the table remains locked and a restart log is written.
Caution: The data of a table is not consistent during conversion. Programs therefore should not access
the table during conversion. Otherwise a program could for example use incorrect data when reading the
table since not all the records were copied back from the temporary table. Conversions therefore
should not run during production! You must at least deactivate all the applications that use tables to
be converted.
You must clean up terminated conversions. Programs that access the table might otherwise run
incorrectly. In this case you must find out why the conversion terminated (for example overflow of the
corresponding tablespace) and correct it. Then continue the terminated conversion.
Since the data exists in both the original table and temporary table during conversion, the storage
requirements increase during conversion. If the tablespace overflows when you reload the data from the
temporary table, the conversion will terminate. In this case you must extend the tablespace and start the
conversion in the database utility again.
If you shorten the key of a table (for example when you remove or shorten the field length of key fields),
you cannot distinguish between the new keys of existing records of the table. When you reload the data
from the temporary table, only one of these records can be loaded back into the table. It is not possible
to say which record this will be. If you want to copy certain records, you have to clean up the table
before the conversion.
During a conversion, the data is copied back to the database table from the temporary table with the
ABAP statement MOVE-CORRESPONDING. Therefore only those type changes that can be executed
with MOVE-CORRESPONDING are allowed. All other type changes cause the conversion to be
terminated when the data is loaded back into the original table. In this case you have to recreate the old
state prior to conversion. Using database tools, you have to delete the table, rename the QCM table to
its old name, reconstruct the runtime object (in the database utility), set the table structure in the
Dictionary back to its old state and then activate the table.
If a conversion terminates, the lock entry for the table set in the first step is retained. The table can no
longer be edited with the maintenance tools of the ABAP Dictionary (Transaction SE11).
A terminated conversion can be analyzed with the database utility (Transaction SE14) and then
resumed. The database utility provides an analysis tool with which you can find the cause of the error
and the current state of all the tables involved in the conversion.
You can usually find the precise reason for termination in the object log. If the object log does not
provide any information about the cause of the error, you have to analyze the syslog or the short dumps.
If there is a terminated conversion, two options are displayed as pushbuttons in the database utility:
After correcting the error, you can resume the conversion where it terminated with the Continue
adjustment option.
There is also the Unlock table option. This option only deletes the existing lock entry for the table .
You should never choose Unlock table for a terminated conversion if the data only exists in the
temporary table, i.e. if the conversion terminated in steps 3 or 4. table for table TAB is therefore QCMTAB.
Hope this is helpful,Do reward.

How can i change the length of a narration ?

how can i change the length of a narration ?

hotts77
Thanks for the reply.
Still not sure what version of Premiere Elements that you are using. But, the following should apply nonetheless
What you describe is what I have described in my blog post and for which I have discussed all aspects of the issue. There
is no workaround to force the program to give you more than you are getting now without other clips also on the track(s). The
blog post just about says it all.
You might have to weigh the pros and cons of
a. Recording your narrations as .wav files in a free audio editor such as Audacity
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
and then importing those into your Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the narration to the Narration Track.
b. Put any video clips on the Timeline when you are recording your Premiere Elements narrations with its Narration Tool. Then remove these video clips and replace them with the real thing when you are ready to put narration and clips into the project.
Please let me know if you are OK with the details.
Thank you.

Masked Input Plugin - Cannot change the length

I use the masked plugin alot. But the strange thing is that it does not have a length field so it defaults to 30. In order to change the length, I have to change it to a Text Field, then change the length (e.g., to 15 for phone number) and then change the type back to Masked Input. The length is then shorten.
Can't the masked input plugin be changed to include the length field? It seems to still use it.

Hi Robert,
are you talking about the display length of the field or the number of characters which can be entered.
Don't have access to the source code now from my iPad, but in the plugin definition you could check if the checkbox for field width (don't remember the exact name) in the standard attributes region is checked.
Have you downloaded the plugin from http://apex.oracle.com/plugins or do you use the copy from the sample app?

Unable to change the length of field in idoc segment

Dear all,
My requirement is to change the length of a field(Z field) in a segment (Z Segment). I tried the following but in vain
1)Tried to Cancel the release and then change the length of the domain. Unfortunately it is givin an error saying "Error while resetting release of segment ZC9DEMARA01".
I also tried cancelling hte release of extension and then cancelled the release of segment
2) Created a new version, but in new version the earlier fields are diabled. So I am unable to edit.
I have gone through some of the links available in SDN but I could not solve as I am unable to cancel the release in the first step.
[Idoc segment field length changes]
Could you please help me.
Thanks in advance!
regards,
Aravind

Hello Aravind,
I Have created one Segment type with some fields, changed the field length also its working.
just try to cancel the release and change the length of the filed and do it set release again.
Try it .
Thanks,

Is it possible to change the length of a note in the score editor?

I thought I saw somewhere that it was now possible to adjust the length of a note in the score editor graphically, i.e. by clicking on the note and somehow adjust its length directly to change it from 1/4 note to 1/8 (for example).
I don't want to do this by going over to the "Length" dialog on the left because I hate having to switch from thinking in terms of music notation and then having to think (temporarily) in MIDI ticks per beat, etc.
I must admit that I'm finding it extremely frustrating to simply enter music into Logic in a score....I thought this was supposed to be one of its strengths but it seems to be providing amazing capabilities at the expense of ease of use for beginners.

greetings dh... are you into Key Commands? There are two which will help you do the above in a trice:
• Nudge Region/Event Length Right by SMPTE Frame
• Nudge Region/Event Length Left by SMPTE Frame
I set mine to the simple letter o and n
- I click on a note and press o repeatedly.. it grows and grows longer and longer
– I click on a note and press n repeatedly.. it shrinks and shrinks shorter and shorter
All by little increments
If you keep a Piano Roll window open while you do this, you can see the length do this exactly
man, it is VERY quick and handy for changing the length of notes
It really helps to have a view of the midi Piano Roll to cross check the exact length and position of the notes.
Check out the Key Commands:
• Set Next Higher division
• Set Next lower division
These change the note value in the transport bar near the time signature. Your time signature may be 4/4 but the "grid" on which the notes are appear in the Piano Roll could be displayed in quarter, 8th or 16th notes. If you experiment with these commands, then you can match the note lengths easily to the grid display visually (with the above nudge length commands)
Also - you may like to experiment with the following 3 KEY Key Commands:
1 • Nudge Region/Event Position Right by Nudge Value
2 • Nudge Region/Event Position Left by Nudge Value
This will move your selected notes forward in time or back in time according to the
value that is set in the Transport bar - say it is 16ths .. then each press of the key will move the notes a 16th
or if the value is 8th notes, then each press of the key forward or backwards will move the selected notes forward or back by this amount
... amazingly useful when you are taking a whole phrase and pasting it somewhere else, or if say you started to write a phrase in the Score Editor and you started on the wrong beat.. then you just Nudge back and forth
3 • Set Nudge Value to Division
.. this will in a trice change change the Nudge Value to whatever Note division value is set in the Transport bar
HTH and forgive me if I have given you too much information
..problem is I spent too much time in the Transport Bar in Los Angeles last year drinking with the iSchwartz and other Logic reprobrates... you should join us some time

How to change the length of a JTextField?

Hello,
I am trying to shorten the length of a JTextField with the following code :
// up to this point, getColumns() returns a value of 35.
jTextField1.setColumns(20);
(jTextField1.getParent()).invalidate();
(jTextField1.getParent()).validate();
When I ran this code, it does not change the length of the text field at all.
I wonder if I am writing my code correctly or is there a better/more correct
way to do this?
Thank you for your help.

How do I change the length of a column in the metadata?

A very simple package, reads data from SQL Server and FTPs it to a destination. I have zero experience with SSIS.
I had to add a new column (HEA_ID) to the input and output. The output record has a filler at the end (I hope you know what a filler is) and the new column has to go before the filler and the filler length reduced accordingly.
Problem: there is no apparent way to place the new column anywhere but after the Filler. The filler in the metadata is the wrong length and there is no way that I can see to change the length.
There is a yellow exclamation mark on the Flat File destination (where the filler is wrong length)
I get these erros when I run the updated package.
"The external metadata column is out of sync with the data source column. The column 'HEA_ID' needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection".
"The column filler needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection"
I have no idea how to fix these errors. Help needed.

Hi AllTheGoodNamesWereTaken,
According to your description, you add a new column HEA_ID and make some changes in filler column in the External Columns, so those two columns are out of sync with the data source column.
Please note that columns are created based on the data source columns. So we couldn’t directly change them in the Flat File Destination Advanced Editor.
To avoid this error message, just as Visakh said, just review mappings once again in the Flat File Destination. If we want to change the columns in the Flat File Destination, we need change the source columns.
