Close to the "current time indicator" there's a lighter gray section. What is it for?

This is the correct answer.

Current Time Indicator Question

There is a grey area following behind the current time indicator everywhere it goes, and animation presets will move along, how do I change this problem

What is the problem? The grey area around the current-time indicator merely indicates the shutter angle and shutter phase of motion blur:

Verify which parsed timestamp folder is closer to the current timestamp

Hi,
I have "n" number of timestamps in a folder like :-
2010_08_04_15_14_57 (yyyy_dd_mm_h_mm_ss)
2010_08_04_15_15_57
2010_08_04_15_16_57
From these folders I need to pickup the latest(recent) timestamp folder, here it is 2010_08_04_15_16_57. For this to happen I need to check if any of these timestamp folders is close to the current timestamp, so that i can make sure that particular folder is the recently created one? How to find that whether the timestamp folder is close to the current Timestamp, because Calendar & Date classes have the before() & after(), but there is no API to find which of these timstamp folders are close to the Current timestamp? Please shed some light into this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.If there are no other type of files or folders in the the folder containing these time stamp folders then you can use File.listFiles() and use Arrays.sort() on them to give the most recent time stamp folder in the last element. If there are other types of folder and files, then it would be necessary to implement FileFilter and use File.listFiles(FileFilter). The advantage is you have a File reference to the time stamp folder you presumably ultimately need.

Start text layer (using Text Tool) from current time indicator - Adobe After Effects CC

This is something that would improve the speed of my workflow considerably. When I click inside a composition using the Text Tool, the text layer always positions itself at the beginning of the composition.
Is there any way to make the text layer start from the current time indicator so I don't continually have to scroll back to the start of the composition and drag the text layer forward to the desired position?
Many thanks.

There's a preference: Create Layers At Composition Start Time.

Paste Clips In Place From Current-Time Indicator?

Is there a way to paste clips in Premiere Pro CS5 at the current-time indicator / playhead without it jumping to the end of the clip?
CS3 worked that way by default. CS4 introduced jumping ahead to the end of a clip when pasted.

Thanks for your reply Bill.
It does paste at the CTI, but then the CTI moves to the end of the pasted clip automatically. I liked it in CS3 when the CTI stayed in place.
Mostly I use this for audio editing just to do quick fixes by dropping in silence over background noise in the video. So it was handy when the CTI stayed in place because I could play or scrub through the audio without moving the CTI back to the start of the pasted clip each time, then resize it accordingly.
It's not a huge problem, but since it's been part of my workflow for so long it's an awkward change.

Premiere elements 12 - cannot move assets past current time indicator ... why?

Cannot drag/move jpg (img 1232) past current time indicator (red) on any of the available tracks ... it does nothing ... I can only drag/move asset around before the current time indicator ... why
This would make my work useless !!! Please help!

Whatever you decide, please keep watch on how many days from date of purchase so that you do not lose any rights to 30 day money back from Adobe if you purchased from Adobe.
I had some thoughts for some areas to look into in your situation.
You have asked several time if you are using the correct project preset. I do not see that any one has responded to that question. I am assuming that your iPhone 5s is recording H.264.mov or.mp4 1920 x 1080 @ up to 30 progressive frames per second. The frame rate is probably up to 30, meaning variable frame rate. So, where is the 120 frames per second video coming from? I would manually set the project preset for
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30@ 29.97
Details for manually setting the project preset are in the How To section of
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
The use of video with variable frame rate has created all sorts of issues besides audio out of sync with Premiere Elements. It could be the iPhone 5S video that is creating the problems, but.... Have you taken the time to remove selectively and sequentially types of media from the tracks to determine if such removal would then allow you to place additional media from Project Assets to Timeline wherever you want?
If you implicate the iPhone 5S video in the issue, you could take it into a program such as HandBrake and change the file's variable to constant frame rate and export it from there as 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second H.264.mp4 file. Then try it in your project.
The party line is that you cannot change the project preset once it has been set for a project. We can go into that later. By the way, if you start a new project, is the problem of placing source media where you want in the Timeline still there?
We will be watching for further developments.

Current time indicator won't move to end of comp in After Effects CS6

The current time indicator won't move to end of comp in AE CS6. I setup a new comp at 10 seconds. When I drag the current time indicator OR hit the End key to bring the current time indicator to the end of the comp it stops at a value of 9:23. Is this a bug?

No, your frame rate is obviously 23.976, or it's most likely INcorrrectly 24.
The first frame of the comp is frame ZERO, as in 00:00. The last frame is 09:23. Which is what you set it to be.
00:00 - 09:23 is ten seconds. 00:00 - 10:00 is ten seconds and one frame. If the beginning frame was frame ONE, you'd be correct in your statement of woe. but the beginning frame is frame ZERO.

Moving clip to current time indicator through keyboard command?

I have a clip in my timeline that I am trying to move to the current time indicator using a keyboard command. In after effects, I would just use the "[" button to do this. For some reason, in Adobe Premiere, this does not work. Does anybody know a fix for this?

You don't need to hover the mouse over, or click, the Step Forward / Step Back buttons. Just use the wheel anywhere within the red block in the following image. Note also that you can scrub through the timeline by click-dragging across the CTI box (yellow block), or click-dragging across the Shuttle (green block).
If you click within the Monitor image so that the handles display (see red blocks below) then you can use the wheel anywhere within the Monitor pane to move the CTI back and forth. Again no clicking necessary.
Cheers,
Neale

Firefox keeps saving my tabs from several months ago - the same tabs! Even though I close them, the next time I restart, there they are. I was using a previous version of FF, now upgraded to 6 and same thing is happening.

Firefox keeps saving my tabs from several months ago - the same tabs! Even though I close them, the next time I restart, there they are. I was using a previous version of FF, now upgraded to 6 and same thing is happening.

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

How can I get a digital WDT that includes all samples, not just the one for the current time step...?

See block labeled ''digital data'' in my attachment for reference. Currently, only the digital data point for the current time step can be seen (it is deleted before the next one appears). However, I would like it display all the samples in the table like in the example found at this link under ''Digital Waveform Control'':

Hey westerman111,
If you're looking to produce have your display include the solution information from previous solver steps, you will need to buffer the previous data. The way to implement this in a Control Design & Simulation Loop is using the Memory.vi found under Control Design & Simulation > Simulation > Utilities > Memory.vi. It will allow you to save previous information generated in the simulation environment for letter solution steps.
I've attached an example that should get you started in using the Memory.vi.
I would also make sure that what you're looking to accomplish is suitable for the Control & Simulation Loop. I know you mentioned you were new to LabVIEW so I wanted to make sure you were heading off in the right direction. Is there a particular reason why you are using the Control & Simulation Loop instead of a standard While or For Loop? The Control Design & Simulation loop is unique in that it calculates the solution of a dynamic system at a prescribed time step and ODE solver. It also provides the tools to interact with the model you are solving during execution. However, if you are simply looking to perform data acquisition and measurements (instead of dynamic model simulation) I would recommend using standard LabVIEW functions.
Here are some useful references for getting start with both LabVIEW and the Control Design and Simulation Module.

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

How do I create a text insertion of the current time? My "date

My "date & time" stamp under Insert only prints the date. I can edit it to include the time each time I use it, but this is a real bother, as I use it often and want the time included. Actually I want a separate time stamp to keep track of time spent on specific projects. If there is no separate time stamp in Pages (hard to believe), can I create one that will print the current time without including the date? Second best: edit the "date & time" to always and automatically include the time?

Right click on the date after inserting > Edit Date & Time > Choose the Time only option
There is no way I know to have it default to this unfortunately.
You can try inserting the start time and have an updating time in a Table and calculate the difference, but the problem is the update only happens on reopening the document, not on saving.
You are better off using Billings to do all this for you:

Getting the current time and comparing it to a time in the future

Hello,
I am seeing in my research some debate on the best way to get the time. I am reading that just using the Date class and calling getTime() is not the most reliable way to do things. Overall, I am trying to get the current time down to the millisecond. I then want to add 5 seconds to that time and then store that value. FInally, when the current time is greater or equal to this stored value, I want to continue on in my program. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to calculate the time variable? Any help would be much appreciated. I am new to the JAVA world.
Thanks,
Tim

To store the current time, simply use new java.util.Date(). Yes, there might be slight inconsistencies and it might not be the most accurate time possible, but without significant additional effort (perhaps a native O/S call or the use of another time library), you will not do much better. Calendar won't help in this instance either. The easiest way to get five seconds in the future is to do the following:
Date now = new Date();
Date future = new Date(now.getTime() + 5000);To store and retrieve the value, it depends on what you are doing. You can place it in the database via JDBC (BTW, if you trust the database timestamp more than Java's you can use something like Oracle's SYSDATE instead of Java's date in your SQL query). You can place it in the filesystem. You can store it in the user's session.

Distiller will suddenly close/crash the *SECOND* time I open a file for converting to PDF.

The subject heading says it all: Distiller will suddenly close/crash the *SECOND* time I open a file for converting to PDF.
But I think I have a clue why this is happening. Typically, I use Distiller to convert EPS or PS files into PDFs. Also, almost without fail, I embed the required fonts (exclusively Type 1) directly into the EPS/PS files (using the required PFA format) so no local fonts on my computer are needed to be looked for by Distiller to be embedded in the resulting PDF; they're already in the EPS/PS files.
But yesterday, I attempted to convert some EPS/PS files to PDFs using Distiller in which I had NOT embedded the Type 1 fonts (in PFA format, of course) in the source EPS/PS files. The first such conversion would work (in which I select "Open" and choose an EPS/PS file for conversion), but after that initial conversion, the *SECOND* time I clicked on "Open" (open file), Distiller would immediately close/crash.
I then searched the web for answers, and discovered some people were having trouble getting Distiller to initialize if any of their computer system fonts were read-only. So, I went back to my EPS/PS files and embedded the required Type 1 (PFA format) fonts into them, and then—magically—Distiller worked without a hitch: I could open and convert any number of them in succession, with Distiller never closing/crashing.
So, I concluded the reason that Distiller had been crashing upon the second attempted opening of a file (again, simply by pressing the "open" button to search for a file to convert, *not* after selecting a file) must have had something to do with Distiller scanning my computer's installed fonts when there was no embedded PFA font to reference, and a read-only font on my system was causing the problem. However, I looked in the two logical places where my fonts should be located (c:\psfonts and c:\windows\fonts), but found *no* font files' attributes set to "read-only" So, I'm stumped.
I'm using Distiller Pro 10.1.1316 (acrodist.exe) on a Win 8.1 machine. I've found similar posts, going back to 2004, about Distiller immediately crashing after opening when some fonts are read-only; I haven't yet found a post about anyone successfully using Distiller to convert one EPS or PS file to PDF, and then having the program crash when the "Open" button is pressed subsequently. Any clues, anyone?

Never heard about the crash and that does not sound normal. Be sure to do the updates to Acrobat in case that resolves the issue. You might also check the font settings in the settings file and check to ignore the error if the font can not be embedded and Distiller should use what it considers to be the closest system font.

Where did the current-time-line go in Calender?

I can't find the line that says what the current time is in Calender.. Is there any way to put it or get it back in? IMO it was one of the features why Calender was a really good app. It looks like Apple just forgot to put it in... Is this going to be updated.
Should look something like this;(like we had before)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3dtvkw37vkw70hj/Screenshot%202013-10-25%2015.01.122.jp g

I can’t tell you what’s causing it, but it is working fine here. The line is red and moves with the current time. But it is only visible when you are in the current week. If I move to the prior or next week it won’t show.

Close to the "current time indicator" there's a lighter gray section. What is it for?
