Compressor Custom Preset Template

Hello All. Does anyone know how to make a custom preset available to all users in a school lab? I tried putting them into the Compressor folder in the User Template directory on the server, but the don't show up when they log-in and start up Compressor. Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks,
D. Porvin

If your on windows, perhaps this script will suffice:

It may work in pse 6-pse 9 as well.
I didn't write the script, just modified it for use in elements.
The script was written by Paul Riggott and this is the page:

Compressor Custom Presets Missing ...

I have upgraded to Compressor 4. And now all of my custom presets are missing. Is there any way to get them back?

Thanks for posting your solution. I've dug around and found where the presets reside (user: library: application support: compressor), and sent them to clients, etc. Never occured to me to just drag them from the settings window.

Widescreen Format custom preset in Compressor 4?

I used to do HD (16X9) format only, but ever since I saw other views, especially really cool looking cinematic music videos carrying the widescreen format I've been wanting to apply that to my videos. Currently my only known solution to this is simply making an image that fits exactly on my frame with two black bars to letter box my 16X9 videos in FCPX. I tried making a custom preset in Compressor 4 with the dimension of the video set to 1920X800 which is exactly 2.40X1 in aspect ratio. I also turned the pixel aspect ratio to sqauare but the results still looked weird. The video was simply squished down with a large black bar at the top and the dimension of the video was still 1920*1080.
Enough with the rubbish (I'm not good at explaining things). Does anyone know how to formuate a custom preset in Compressor 4 so that when I export from FCPX using Compressor presets the file would be natively 1920*800 and that the excess pixels are trimmed away automatically? Or is there an option in FCPX itself that allows me to set the aspect ratio of my video to widescreen in the first place?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to export a clip with a black JPEG file from MPEG Steamclip at 1920*800 24fp, but when I put it in my timeline in FCPX the video option window droped down saying that the format is not recognised and forced me to use the presets the came with it. Any other solution?
Thanks

Where Are The Custom Preset Files Stored?

I deleted FCS 2 before installing FCS 3 and unfortunately all of my custom presets in Compressor were lost.
I have got Time Machine with the old Compressor but I don't know where the old preset files are stored.
Ideally I would like to copy them to the new version as re-writing them will be a pain, assuming I can still remember what they were!

Ian,
Now aren't you glad you went to the trouble of setting up Time Machine?

Export Quicktime Custom Preset

Sorry you can thrash me if you like, but Ive searched, rtfm and still confused. I have to export quicktimes all the time, not that it's important but our smokes across the hall only take quicktime at the moment. So I go export quicktime and scroll down the mile long list of codecs and pick custom and then pick animation. How can I get my custom preset which is just Animation codec to show up on that long list so I don't have to go to custom clear at the bottom and then pick animation. I thought I saved it as a custom but it doesn't show up. Basically, I want Export-export quicktime-settings-animation. Not Export-export quicktime-settings-scroll-custom setting-animation. And last thing, why when I do a batch export can I not choose the animation codec in the list
thanks

I think you better build a custom preset in Compressor and use it. You can export batchs of files/sequences that way too.
Hope that helps !

Media Encoder CC exporting the wrong resolution in custom preset h.264

I have two custom presets in Media Encoder CC. The original file is an mov Lossless 720x480 from After Effects. One is h.264 mp4 720x480 and the other is h.264 640x480. When I encode the resolutions are 872x480 and 581x480 respectively. Not sure what I have going on here. The presets worked with the same settings just fine in Media Encoder CS6 on another computer. Any ideas?

Custom RTF templates in Oracle Core Contracts ..

Hello:
We want to create custom RTF templates in Oracle Core Contracts along with custom data templates.
We do not want to use XSL-FO templates since we are finding this too complex to work with ... also the fact that the XML data is being generated by some internal OAF processes that we cannot control.
This is unnecessarily too complex for us.
Can we create our own reporting using XML -Publisher and integrate it in the system ?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated ... Yesh

Srini:
I did read those pages and unless I am missing something .. it is basically saying the follwing:
Copy the seeded XSL-FO templates and make changes to them and then upload them back. I have no real access to the xml data since it is somehow pre-generated. I do not have a choice of using RTF templates along with the ease of Word based formatting.
The above process goes against the way in which we can write our own reports in XMLP:
(a) Create our own data templates (use our own SQL)
(b) Create our own layout templates (using RTF or XSl_FO)
So I am stuck into undertsanding .... OAF, Java API's ,etc that I should not have to understand to generate a report ...

Create a custom web template using VS 2012 with web features,site features sections applied

hi,
Want to create a custom web template using VS 2012 in my SP 2013 environment. i know "Vesku" has posted a great artice on this [ based on prev. version of SP].
here -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vesku/archive/2010/10/14/sharepoint-2010-and-web-templates.aspx
i am looking for a code based article which has step by step process which provides how to add the site features, web features and attach the eventreceivers etc etc on sitecollection creation when i apply this template from central admin.
can anyone provide me any links / any source how to create a custom web template with one / two custom features - site features element and web features element , / master page etc ....
I am stuck with this. as part of my reqmnt, i need to create a webtemplate with all the customlistinstances, custompagelayouts, custom masterpages, custom appln pages, custom web parts.
help is appreciated !
Das

The problem is that Web Templates are deployed to a gallery in a site collection and aren't available in Central Admin when creating a new site collection. YOu have to create the site collection without choosing a template and then choose your web
template when you first access the root site in the site collection. Here's an article that discusses that process here:
http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2011/02/10/using-web-templates-to-create-site-collections.aspx
Other than that Vesa's article is still the best one and works essentially the same in 2013 as it does in 2010.

Is There A Way To Create Custom Presets For Sharing/Exporting?

First-time iMovie users, long-time Mac enthusiast.
VERY impressed with how easy this wonderful application is to learn, but the inability to save custom presets exporting to Quicktime is puzzling.
iMovie6 does remember the settings I specified in "Expert Settings", but it'd be great to save it as "canned preset" that would show up w/all the other ones (Email, CD-Rom, Web, etc).
Is this just another feature I've yet to discover, or is it possible at all? Or is it the first roadblock I've encountered where extra ca$h is needed for another product?
many thank u's in advance.

.. the key to using a Mac is to think less..
this is EXACTLY the Mac-experience.. and that is, why PCusers often call us "computer illiterate" .. we don't want to know, what a bios is, a batch file, a bitrate..
my father-in-law spends 90% of his time with re-installs, set-ups, drivers.. and in the meantime, I create movies and dvds ...
maybe a bit of TOO much glory, but still saying it all:

Custom Administrative Template Error 53 Key name specified more than once

Hi All,
Hope I've picked the correct forum. I am making my first foray into setting up a custom administrative template for some software that is developed in house. The current deployment method is to merge a reg file on each computer that requires the registry
settings. I am trying to set this up so that it is controlled via GPO.
My idea is that in the a GP can set the registry settings for one or more areas that are controlled by the software.
The problem I have - I get Error 53 Keyname specified more than once on Line 9 (second KEYNAME). In total I will have about 30 different sites this needs to be set up for.
Does this mean that I can't set more than one registry key per "Policy" setting in the GPO?
The adm file I have so far is below
TIA
Jason

How to create a Custom form Template..

Hi Eperts,
I would like to seek a help from you regarding creating a custom form template on custom BO. could you guide me where i have gone wrong in successfully creating a Print form. I am in dead need of this particular solution for a client. It is hampering my entire scenario......
1. I had created a Custom BO and I am trying to preview the created form on the OIF screen.
2. I had created a form on above of the custom BO. This created form and form group is activated and configured as of needed by opening it through ALD (Adobe Life Cycle Designer).
3. I had created a BAC element with some scoping questions and activated it. After activating it i had deployed the Business configuration.
4. my solution got updated with the created and deployed BAC elements and i had done scoping for those elements to make my created form available.
5. I can see my form template in Form Template maitaince under Application user managment WOC. I had made it to be available for all users and published.
6. All the above steps are done success fully with no errors.
7. When i accessed my custom BO and tried to preview the created form i am unable to view it and i am seeing the following window.
Could you help me out in solving this or send me across any detailed document regarding this what you had done previously.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help...
Regards...
Hanu K

It looks like system didn't identify the form template. So please check if the required configuration for "Preview" modal dialog is done properly. In the SDK documentation, refer to section "8.4.3.4 Create a Preview Button for a Print Form"
If you have already done the steps mentioned in the section 8.4.3.4, but still facing the issue then let me know.
Best regards,
Hari

Custom Rowtype Template with apex.widget.report.sort() - does this work?

Hi Folks!
I have a report with a custom rowtype template (3 rows for each dataset) and I have fiddeled around with the build-in javascript sorting-function. (Cause as it seems you can't use the standard sorting functionality on custom rowtemplates.) I came up with a short solution, but I would like to know how safe this is.
Setup very simple:
The Header-Template [before rows]
<table id="myDomId">
    <thead><tr>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(1)">Col1</a></th>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(2)">Details</a></th>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(3)">Col3</a></th>
    </tr></thead>
Then the javascript handling runs like that:
var qmmSorter = {};
$(function(){
   setupSorters();
function setupSorters(){
    qmmSorter.DomCatch = /\d+/.exec($('#myDomId>div').attr('id'))[0];
    qmmSorter.lastCol = 1;
    qmmSorter.asc = true;
function sortCol(colnum){
//console.log(colnum);
    if (qmmSorter.DomCatch) {
        qmmSorter.lastCol = colnum;
        qmmSorter.asc = !qmmSorter.asc;
        javascript:apex.widget.report.sort( qmmDomCatch,'fsp_sort_'+colnum + ( qmmSorter.asc ? '' : '_desc') );
Maybe I'll also add some arrows to indicate what sorting took place. Tested so far in IE9 and Moz - all we really use in our internal network.
But this seems all a bit just too easy. so I'd be really thankful for your comments.
Tanks and greetings,
Tobi

It would be even easier to use column header substitution and retain the built-in sort functionality (although this includes the sort direction image bug).
<table id="myDomId">
<thead><tr>
    <th>#1#</th>
    <th>#2#</th>
    <th>#3#</th>
</tr></thead>

Link in my customized Report Template doesn't work – Apex 3.1

I created a report template based on columns of my report
My query report is:
SELECT MEM_NAS ID, MEM_NOM NAME, MEM_DATE_NAIS BIRTH
FROM ACMT_MEMBRE;
My customized report template have this Row Template definition:
<tr onclick="redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:#ID#');">
<td #ALIGNMENT# class="t16data_edit">#NAME#</td>
<td #ALIGNMENT# class="t16data_edit">#BIRTH#</td>
</tr>
This would redirect to the page 6 when user click anywhere on a row but it doesn’t work.
I have this error message:
CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');">
I realized that problem is caused by #ID# because if I hardcode this ID, it works.
How can my report template get the “ID” from my query report ?

Is the report template definitely of type Named Column (row template) (defined on App Builder page 4000:4654) and not Generic Columns (column template) (defined on page 400:258)?
Note that the <tt>#ALIGNMENT#</tt> substitution string is not supported in named column templates. Set column alignment explicitly using HTML attributes in the template, or use CSS.
This would redirect to the page 6 when user click anywhere on a row but it doesn’t work.

{code}Where do you see this? It looks like there's a mismatch between the report columns returned by the query and those referenced in the report template. Or the data contains unsafe HTML characters that aren't being escaped.
Yes, my report query has a column called ID and it's set as Hidden. This could be the problem. In a report based on a named column template any columns referenced in the template must be +shown+ in the report, even if (as in this case) the column value is not visible to the user: the positioning of the <tt>#ID#</tt> column placeholder in the <tt>onclick</tt> attribute rather than in a table cell is what makes it "hidden". *The Show checkbox for the ID column must be checked.*
From the gobbledygook being generated it looks like there could be a row selector checkbox column in this report as well? Named column row templates must include substitution placeholders for every shown column. It's also advisable to keep the columns in the same order in the SQL, report column attributes and row template.
Something like
{code}
<tr onclick="redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:#ID#');">
<td class="t16data_edit">#CHECK$01#</td>
<td class="t16data_edit">#NAME#</td>
<td class="t16data_edit">#BIRTH#</td>
</tr>
{code}
I realized that problem is caused by #ID# because if I hardcode this ID, it works.
How can my report template get the “ID” from my query report ?If the above doesn't help then the easiest way to troubleshoot this would be for you to upload the app to apex.oracle.com and post guest developer credentials for the workspace so we can see the whole thing: template, SQL, and report attributes. Otherwise we're likely to and up with a lot of tedious to and fro here posting bits of code and attribute values.

Custom Report Template Issue

Hi,
I have a Custom Report Template, it is a Named Column(Row) Report that I have created. It seems I can get the look and feel I want on a per row basis. But when I try and convert it to be able to loop through for a specific type, like a break on the first column, it gets all messed up. I was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light for me on this I have tried everything
Here is the row template

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input! Yeah it is based on a query from a collection as all this data is summations that i am pre-populating.
Yes this html is probably from 1998 or 1999 I think they told me actually lol
So there is no way to accomplish what I am trying to do then?
There is no way I could use a break on first column and modify the header info to get the same sort of look and feel?Still not really clear what you are trying to accomplish, and in my view there are so many problems with the "look and feel" that it's not worth perpetuating.
Making a lot of assumptions, I've come up with the kind of HTML structure I'd use when marking up this kind of data. I added a page 2 to your example on apex.oracle.com, showing a basic presentation of this structure alongside the original for comparison, and another styled using the default theme L&F.
<li>Given the requirement to use multi-level headers (and because I prefer to have total control over the HTML), I stayed with a custom report template rather than trying to utilise column breaking with a generic column report template. This also permits use of more advanced table structures than can be supported by standard templates, such as s<tt>colgroup</tt>s to organize the table columns as well as the rows:
Before Rows
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" #REPORT_ATTRIBUTES# id="report_#REGION_STATIC_ID#">
#TOP_PAGINATION#
<tr>
    <td>
      <table class="fish">
        <caption>Some fishy summaries</caption>
        <colgroup span="1"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="evaluation-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="other-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
After Rows
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
#PAGINATION#
</table><li>Rather than separate tables, the report is contained in one HTML table, utilizing the <tt>tbody</tt> element to subdivide this into separate row groups to meet the "break on first column" requirement. This is achieved using conditional row templates, with PL/SQL Expressions based on the values of metadata columns added to the query:
Row Template 1
Header rows and first data row for each row group. <tt>scope</tt> attributes are added to multi-column headers for improved accessibility:
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="9" scope="rowgroup">#C1#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th></th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">Evaluation Trips</th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">All Other Trips</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>#C2#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 1 Expression
This template is used when the row metadata shows that the current row is in a different row group from the previous row:
#ROW_GROUP# != #PREVIOUS_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 2
This is the "default" template, used for any subsequent data rows in the row group:
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#Both templates make use of a <tt>#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#</tt> column value conditionally generated in the query that returns a <tt></tbody></tt> tag if the current row is the last data row in the row group. (Mixing logic and structure in this way is not good practice, but APEX only allows up to 4 conditional row templates, which is completely insufficient for any moderately complex structure.)
<li>Several metadata columns (incorporating heavy use of analytic functions) are added to the report query for use in the report template or CSS presentation:
with fish as (
      select
                c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, c7, c8, c9, c10, c11, c12, c13, c14, c15, c16
                  Generate a fixed order for separate report sections/row groups.
                  (This is a guess as the actual requirement is not specified.)
              , case c1
                  when 'OTC Summary' then 1
                  when 'Retained Catch Summary' then 2
                  when 'Discarded Catch Summary' then 3
                  when 'Discarded Species Composition Summary' then 4
                  when 'Retained Species Composition Summary' then 5
                  when 'Priority Species Biospecimen Summary - Discarded Catch' then 6
                  when 'Other Species Biospecimen Summary - Discarded Catch' then 7
                  when 'Dissection Summary - Discarded Catch' then 8
                end row_group
                  Calculate row number within row group.
                  Copes with row order in some row groups being determined
                  numerically, while others used standard character semantics.
              , row_number()
                  over (
                    partition by c1
                    order by      to_number(regexp_replace(c8, '[^[:digit:]]')) nulls last
                                , c8) group_rn
                  Calculate number of rows in row group.
              , count(*)

                    partition by c1) group_rows

select
          c1

            column heading equivalent to "Species".
            Combine both source DB columns into one for HTML heading, dealing
            with various null/space/blank issues...

        , group_rn
        , group_rows
            Determine odd/even row number: used for standard or alternate style.
        , mod(group_rn, 2) alt
            Generate a closing element if the row is the last row in the
            row group.
        , case
            when group_rn = group_rows
            then
              '</tbody>'
            else
          end close_row_group
from
          fish
order by
           row_group
         , group_rnThis makes major assumptions about the sort order(s) and break(s) required in the report.
<li>Finally, the visual presentation is applied using CSS rather than (mainly deprecated) HTML attributes, via an embedded style sheet in the page HTML Header:
<style type="text/css">
.fish {
empty-cells: show;
border-collapse: collapse;
.fish tbody tr:first-child th {
border-top: 1px solid #fff;
font-weight: bold;
.fish th,
.fish td {
padding: 3px 6px;
.fish th {
border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
border-left: 1px solid #fff;
background-color: #275096;
color: #fff;
font-weight: 300;
text-align: left;
.fish td {
text-align: right;
.fish tr.\30 td {
    background-color: #dde;
.fish td:first-child {
    text-align: left;
</style>The default theme L&F report adds vertical borders to separate columns and column groups (latter may not be fully effective on IE: I'm not wasting my time on quirks mode fixes for that).
The resulting report uses 60% less vertical space, and 87% less HTML code[1] than the original. Usability and accessibility are improved by eliminating nested tables and useless table cells and shim images, increasing the contrast between text and background colours, and using alternating row backgrounds for better visual tracking.
[1] Including whitespace, but neither template is compressed in any way: both are in fully readale format including normal whitespace indentation.
