Copying motion values between clips/sequences

I have a few sequences where I use still images for backgrounds.
Is there any way to copy paste the values in the Motion tab (scale and center) between clips and sequences?
Now I have to double-click one clip, remember the values for scaling, position, etc and then switch to another seqeunce, open the corresponding clip and enter the values. Quite time-consuming and the risk for errors are at lest present.
So, any tips are greatly appreciated!

How to copy fields values between same class objects with filtering ?

Hi I'm facing a problem.
It started when thinking to the clone method for cloning objects.
And developed into a problem when trying to making something more complicate that just cloning.
Suppose you have two JPanels and one is a copy of the other suppose that u feed the copy to some methods for processing.
These methods modify simple data (ints,Strings, CustomClasses) and swing components too.
Now when I get the object back I want to copy all of the fields values to the original JPanel except for those who represent swing components or the like.
I want to do this automatically by writing some few rows of code.
How can I do this using reflection ?
How can I filter the Fields objects that I get from jpanelInstance.getClass().getDeclaredFields(); ? Which metod should I use then to check if is a subclass of java.awt.Component ?
I've read about many things on using reflection to invoke methods, constructors and so on.
But how do I get the fields values as I get the fields objects ?
Thanks for the attention, hope what is written is clear enough,
Estades.

Are you targeting a "worst design award"? What kind of "processing" would take place on a UI component?
I am sure from what you write that you missed to seperate your model from your view. Read about MVC and retry designing your application.

How to copy a value between items??

Hi friends,
[Apps R12]
I don't exactly know ho to do this:
Imagine you have a LOV.. and it retrieves a value in one of its attributes...
When selecting a value of that LOV.. I want one of those attribute values... be copied to other item in the same screen...
It would be te same as in Forms:
When-validate the lov ...
:block1.item2:=:block1.item1
where item1 is one of the columns retrieved by the LOV and item2 is another field on the screen....
Could any of you provide an example of how to do this?
Thanks!!!

if (pageContext.isLovEvent())
// Form was submitted because the user selected
// a value from the LOV modal window,
// or because the user tabbed out of the LOV input.
// Find out which LOV input triggered the event.
String lovInputSourceId = pageContext.getParameter(SOURCE_PARAM);
// Find out the result values of the LOV.
Hashtable lovResults =
pageContext.getLovResultsFromSession(lovInputSourceId);
if (lovResults != null)
// Update the page depending on the value chosen by the user.
see if this helps....

I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in premiere 12

Following the procedure described in the manual, I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in Premiere 12.
Premiere copy a single transition in the clip closer to the time bar.
I had tried in various ways but to no avail. The problem can be solved?
Thanks for the help.

Sig. T.T. Romano,
javascript:void(0)
I finally figured out that you can not copy a transition between multiple clips at the same time and it will copy one at a time.
What seems strange, however, because in Pinnacle, which I used until recently, this could be done, and Adobe is not less than Pinnacle.
Maybe Adobe does not consider interesting this thing, or maybe it is inserted in Premiere Pro. How, for example, in the titles, the ability to animate multiple lines. In Premiere Elements missing but I knew that in the Pro's.
I thank you anyway for your helpful answers.

Copy values between Xellerate User and Resource user

Hi all,
For any user (xellerate) updates, i'm trying to copy these values to the resource user. Now copying string values is simple enough, however I run into problems when I try to copy:
- boolean
- Date
What is the best way of achieving a straight copy from the Xellerate user to the resource user?

How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being cop

How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being copied?
I've highlighted my sequence, opened Media Manager, and copied it to another drive. When I open up the sequence in it's new project, the rendered Motion Project plays within my sequence but it won't let me go back into this Motion Project to make changes. I tried starting over. This time I highlighted the actual motion sequence and clip that is created within FCP after sending something to Motion and copied those to the new drive. When I went into the newly created 'media' folder and double clicked on the motion project it launched. It looked liked it was going to play but while my crops moves and borders were there, the filmed material is shown as a freeze frame for the duration of the motion project.
I did this with and without 'including master clips within selection'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Is there anyone who knows the answer to this? Thanks.

FCE freezes when moving between clips! Help?

Not with all transitions, but with some, sometimes even moving between clips from the same batch of film(!) FCE will stop playing through in the timeline, sound will jerk to a halt, and I'll then see what I call the "Colorful wheel of death" as FCE tries to deal with it and stops responding, making me Force Quit, which is a Jedi ability I now have much use in, btw... I have tried to Trash Prefs but still no good, and as I am fairly new to this software, with less than a year's experience, I need help!
I have three major projects to do before year's end!
What do I do?

First be sure you've correctly trashed your preferences. Follow the advice here: http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
Be sure everything is rendered before you playback. Be sure none of the windows (particularly Canvas) are overlapping.
Move your RT playback quality to low.
Sometimes it helps to reduce the opacity of an offending clip to 99% (via the motion tab in the viewer)before playing your sequence in the timeline. I can't explain why this works but its saved me alot.

Is there a way to toggle between open sequences? Keyboard Shortcut?

So I usually work form one sequence of selects, and then take pieces of those selects on the source monitor side and edit them into the edit sequence on the program monitor side.
1. Is there a way to toggle between the two?
2. Is there a way to toggle between sequences that are open?
Although it is really nice now you can load sequences into the source monitor it would be nice to toggle to that sequence to actaully see the clips in the source monitor sequence, not just have the visuals.
On a basic level I'd like to know if there is a way to toggle between open sequences that way i can select in and outs lift and undo (which copies to clipboard) and then toggle to the second sequence i have and paste it in the correct place.

Short answer: Yes. Try Shift+3. It's the default Shortcut for "Timelines".

Can LabVIEW global variables be shared between UUT sequence steps in the parallel sequence model?

Sorry for this simple question, I'm having a hard time finding this answer.
If I launch a sequence to run on two UUTs in the parallel sequence module, can I get both UUTs to run LabVIEW vis that use global variables such that :
1) UUT 0 executes 20 LabVIEW Vi steps asynchronously, 5 of which access data from LabVIEW global variables A, B, C (Strings)
2) UUT 0 executes the same 20 LabVIEW based steps asynchronously 5 of which access data from then same LabVIEW global variables A, B, C (Strings)
I am a little worried that using file globals may have some delays or more of a race condition than using native LabVIEW global variables like in a single labview application perform.
QUESTION 2: Are file globals actually written to the hard drive and shared between parallel sequences through file transfer? OR are they in memory?
Brad Whaley
LabVIEW Certified Engineer

Hi bdwhaley,
Are your parallel sequences only reading from the global variable? Or are they writing to the variable as well? If it is just reading, then you should be okay. File globals are read from memory. Every time they are read, a copy of the data is made in memory.

Is it possible to link values between two numbers pages in icloud ?

I want to work with different number pages (not sheets) and link values between them.
The main reason is that I want a group of people to have access to one numbers document and a second group of people to get access to another document that has values extracted from the first document.
Thanks,

Thanks for the tip, not only will this help on the few pages I needed, I can utilize this feature for subsequent catalogs and other info that used to be a copy/paste type function.
I ended up using this feature with a simple find/replace to change the page numbers.

Using Clipmate to copy and paste between projects

Thanks to Robert Johnston for the inspiration (and perspiration) for this method for copying and pasting between PE projects. One residual side effect of the method is that the audio and video of the copied clips will be unlinked. The renaming folders business is a workaround to avoid the silent audio problem after a project has been saved and reloaded.
1. Rename the folders of all audio files (including AVI files) used in the project to be copied.
2. Start PE and load in the project to be copied.
3. When asked, tell PE where the missing files are. (Check the box marked "Display Only Exact Name Matches".) Press Select.
4. Highlight parts (or all) of the project to be copied, in the timeline.
5. Copy the highlighted parts.
6. Copy into Clipmate:
6.1 Edit > Capture Special
6.2 Check both items in the list
6.3 OK
7. Close PE without saving.
8. Rename the folders of the audio files back again.
9. Open destination project in PE.
10. Re-select the copied info in Clipmate (closing the project in PE caused the clipboard to be cleared):
10.1 Select anything in the Clipmate list except the wanted item.
10.2 Select the wanted item (selecting an item loads it onto the clipboard).
11. Position the CTI to the wanted insertion point.
12. Do Edit > Paste Insert.
13. The pasted items will be highlighted in Media Panel. While still highlighted, select the Media Panel and do: Edit > Locate Media.
14. Tell PE where the files are.
15. Save project.

When combining projects, it is best to do your pruning of unwanted clips and other resources BEFORE you combine them, because once the Media Panel gets heavily loaded, PE is liable to crash.
Deleting the unused resources in Media Panel is quite easy in PE3 and PE4. Simply click on the "used" column heading, and the resources will be sorted into two groups of used and unused. Just click on the resource at one end of the unused range and shift click on the resource at the other end to select the whole range, then press delete. (Note that shift works normally in this panel, unlike in the timeline!) However, it is not strictly necessary to delete unused resources before copying and pasting because only resources selected on the timeline will be copied. PE will load and save a lot quicker if unwanted resources are deleted.
My feeling is that PE4 is somewhat more unstable than PE3, but I haven't done a proper direct comparison. For some reason after a crash the autosave often doesn't seem to have done its job properly, even though I set it to save every 10 mins. So make use of the Save button Adobe gave back to us in PE4 and save often, particularly before you use the titler or fiddle with the Media Panel.

Is there a way to insert a specific gap between clips? (CS4)

I am trying to insert a 3 second gap in between about 15 clips on a timeline. I could do it manually, but it is sort of a pain. How can I insert a standard gap between clips?

I know of no semi-automatic way to do this--it's going to be some degree of manual work, whichever way you slice it. But this might help make it a little faster:
Drop all of your clips, end to end, in your sequence.
Switch to the Track Select tool; I believe the default shortcut is "A", but I might have changed that.
With the Track Select tool active, click on the second clip in your sequence to select it and all clips after it.
Using the numeric keypad on your keyboard, type in "+300" for three seconds, or whatever time duration you need, and hit the Enter key on the keypad. All of the selected clips will be moved forward in time three seconds. This will leave a gap of three seconds between the first clip and the group of following clips.
Go back to step #3 and repeat this as often as necessary to create the gaps. You should be able to mow through them pretty quickly in this fashion.

Passing values between action classes.

there are 2 jsps. main.jsp and detail.jsp In Main. jsp i only enter project description and submit to database and map the struts to call the detail .jsp which has to pick the project id(which is sequence generator) and display its description so I can add the other details of project.
Now the problem is as I submit the aciton the request goes out of scope and I am unable to get the project Id so I can't find the project desc to display in my details page.
i tried populating the form before I leave the save action which is called in first jsp. But I am still not able to get the value of project id. Below is my code
ProjectDetailForm form = (ProjectDetailForm) aform;
......save action is done...
form.setProjectId(projectNumber);
to make it clear project number is the number i wast assing to projectid and its sequence generator in datamap.
In display action where I want value so i can dispaly the project desc in Detail.jsp
ProjectDetailForm form= (ProjectDetailForm) aForm;
int projectNumber=form.getProjectId();
Please anybody let me where I am going wrong. Its kind of urgent.
Regards,
Infyniti.
One wya is querystring, which not preferred in our proj. Is there any susbstitution for querystring in struts.
Its kin of urgent.

I'm not entirely certain what you are doing, but heres a best guess:
If I understand you correctly you want to chain two actions
1 - save action - saves new record, and generates new unique id
2 - display action - displays the new record.
Seeing as you say "the request goes out of scope", I presume that means that your actionForward to go from the save action to the display action is a redirect?
Pro: a refresh won't save a duplicate new record
Con: you lose all request attributes/parameters.
So one request saves the record, and the redirect causes a new request to display the record. But you need to retain the record id between the two requests.
Setting it on the ActionForm should work providing:
- the same ProjectDetailForm used in both the "save" action and the "display" action?
- the form have a scope of "session"
- you don't have a "reset" method that would clear the value between calls
Are you able to post the struts-config for these two actions?
Given the constraints, the only other alternative I can think of is to put the id in a session attribute.
As an alternative, you could make it so that the save action forwards to display without a redirect, but that opens you up to a "refresh" saving a new record again. You could combat that by using struts synchronizer tokens. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip136.html

Copy / Paste Styles between objects?

Can you copy/paste styles between different objects in Motion 5?
I know I can save a Style as a name and then select it from the style list. It would be great to just copy a style and then select another object and paste. Can you do this?
Thanks!
Scot

Motion lets you drag and drop parameters on different things. If the action is "not allowed" you won't be able to do it. That said, if you have a rectangle located somewhere on the screen and you want to line up text over the rectangle, just drag the Position parameter of the rectangle onto the text layer in the layers list.
For "like" objects, for instance: shapes, you can drag the Outline and Fill panels (the entire panel!) onto another shape and all of the contained parameters will be copied over. So, if you have a red outlined (say 10 px wide), blue filled rectangle, and you want the same properties on a circle, just drag those panes (click on "Fill" And "Outline") onto the circle.
If all you want to do is save styles of shapes, or text, that you've created, then for shapes, on the Style inspector theres a Shape Style dropdown at the top of the parameters list. Click that and Save Shape Style. Whatever your current settings are, they can be saved and reselected from that menu. For text, at the top of the Style inspector, you'll generally see Normal (in whatever that layers font is.) Click on that bar and select Save All Basic + Style Attributes.
