Create container movie clip and child clips at design time?
It's always powerful and dynamic to use
"createEmptyMovieClip" and "attachmovieclip" at run time. But how
to create this relationship of clips at design time so that an
empty movie clip can hold several child movie clips?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I'm sorry I asked a confusing question. I know how to create
container clip using AS (as you post above). Then, somehow, I think
how to put an empty clip on the stage and then add clips to it as
children or grandchildren from design panels at design time... Will
this have the same effect as using AS (createEmptyMovieClip and
attachMovieClip) in terms of handling events? I guess a container
clip will be overwritten by its child and as a result it won't
response to events. Is this correct?

How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?
Hi guys,
First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
Please help, all of you experts.Thank you.
OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
My process is this:
1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all. -
Non-self-contained movie huge & takes a very very long time to export
This is for FCE 4.
I have a 1.5 hour movie, and when I export it to quicktime (Not quicktime conversion) it takes WAY too long.
I have "make self-contained movie" unchecked, so I thought creating a reference movie would be very quick. Why is it taking so long and why is the resulting file huge?
My source files is DV, and only minor editing and effects were used. However the entire movie was cropped & resized. Is that why?Ah I think I figured it out.
I did another test project with the same source DV file, but didn't do ANY editing to it.
It took 2 minutes to export a 70mb reference mov file from a 7 minute DV sequence.
Then I cropped & resized the sequence by changing parameters in the "motion" tab.
Then it took 20 minutes to export a much larger reference mov file from the same 7 minute DV sequence.
Then I clicked "render all" after selecting every render option in the drop-down menu.
Then it took less than 1 minute to export a 70mb reference mov file from the same 7 minute DV sequence.
So I guess I was having problems because I didn't render "everything", because I didn't select "FULL" on the drop-down menu for rendering. I thought only RED segments in the timeline needs to be rendered prior to export, but apparently the "FULL" render must be selected as well so that the entire timeline is nice and purple. (or some shade of blue)
Also, a cropped and resized video is very large in size (GB) if it is exported as a reference file only without prior rendering. * Can someone else confirm that this is the normal behavior in FCE? *
Oh well, lesson learned.. This movie is going to take a very long time to export, and result in a very large file. But I can't use it without cropping & resizing it!

What is the best way to match clip and sequence settings for real-time editing?
I am a long time FCP user and trying to make the After Effects workflow a little smoother by utilizing the Adobe suite.
One of the most valuable things I miss about FCP is that when I drop a clip in a blank sequence (no matter what the settings of the seq) it will ask if I want to match the settings of the clip. This ensures that no rendering is required to quickly edit the video in real-time.
Is there a plugin or function in Premiere CS4 that I am missing that will afford me this feature? Currently i am doing everything I can to match the clip settings when creating a sequence, but sadly i'm still having to render the timeline to preview the edit.
lhAnd in CS4, if there is not a matching Preset, you can choose the Desktop Preset, which will allow you to customize nearly every attribute to match your source footage. The name is a bit of a misnomer, but has been around for a long time. I would have called it the "Custom Preset," but Adobe never called.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problem with clipping and concerned objects (or rather their color)
Greeting everyone,
I hope i don't bother you with things that are already known or, in the end, are a product of my own stupidity ;P
My problem is the following:
I was working on a neat design for a list. The first version (without clipping) looked like this:
[http://www.7pics.info/?image=GHApp-Gradient-Mobile-HowItShouldBe_2c5.jpg]
As you can see on the bottom, the list was on top of all graphical elements.
And because this looks stupid, i decide to simply clip the list via "clip: Rectangle{...}".
Well... turns out it's not as easy as i hoped it would be; all of a sudden the list looks like this:
[http://www.7pics.info/?image=GHApp-GradientProblem-Mobile-1_fb7.jpg]
From the left to the right you see the following: first picture is what you'd see initially, from the second to the last i scrolled down one entry each (respectively moved the list up 30 pixels).
Further scrolling down doesn't change the look, it stays like in the last picture.
Scrolling up again delivers the same image, but in reverse order.
The clipping seems to change something in the style of the list elements.
To be more specific, the gradient of a single element is now applied to the whole list.
here is a Listing
//the group which contains the list and the clipping
Group{
clip: Rectangle {
x: 0, y: 70
width: PublicVars.screenWidth, height: 210
fill: Color.BLACK //which color i use doesn't change the look
content:[
createChoicesList()
//create a box for each entry and add text from a string sequence "results"
createChoicesList():Node[]{
for(result in results){
singleField = Group{
Rectangle {
fill: LinearGradient {
startX : 0.0
startY : 0.0
endX : 0.250
endY : 0.250
stops: [
Stop {
color : Color.LIGHTBLUE
offset: 0.0
Stop {
color : PublicVars.coolGradientBlueTransparent
offset: 0.5
}I have no clue why this happens. I tried to shift some things around, thinking it had to do something with the order of some elements but... it didn't change anything.
Another thing i noticed afterwards:
If i run the App as a desktop program, the gradient effect is all messed up. but this time it doesn't matter if I clip the list or not:
[http://www.7pics.info/?image=GHApp-GradientProblem-Desktop-1_d5e.jpg]
The gradients are totally misplaced and if I scroll down they move and appear/disappear randomly across the list entries. sometimes the highlighted elements even look like this:
[http://www.7pics.info/?image=GHApp-GradientProblem-Desktop-2_89f.jpg]
Any Ideas?
P.s.:
Could it be that retrieving the resolution of a mobile device via
"var screenWidth = java.lang.Integer.parseInt(FX.getProperty("javafx.screen.width"));"
isn't very accurate?
If i use the values i get from this method for the desktop application, the screen will be smaller than in the emulated mobile phone
Edited by: Mr._Moe on 04.09.2009 21:31Not sure about your problem, but I can answer your last question: you can now use the [javafx.stage.Screen|http://java.sun.com/javafx/1.2/docs/api/javafx.stage/javafx.stage.Screen.html] class to get screen dimensions.

IMovie11 - MARKING PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS USED IN PROJECTS
After endless research, I have finally figured out how to mark the photos and video clips I have in my project so that I don't duplicate them in my project. It's actually easy once you know how to do it.
1. Create your new project (Movie)
2. Create your event with the photos and videos you want to use from iPhoto. Name your event same as your Project to make it easier to find the event for that project. The work flow will be > Event > iPhoto Library > Albums > Select the entire Album or individual items.
iMovie will not mark any photo or video that is not stored in iPhoto, so make sure you have your Photos and Video stored there. You can always delete any media later you don't want to keep. I found it easiest to organize the media I will be using in a project into an Album, and give it a name relating to your Project so you know where they're at, and you don't have to sort through your entire iPhoto collection to find them.
3. Now you have your Photos / Video in your event.
* As you ad the media to your project, an ORANGE line will appear on the media indicating you used it in the project you currently have open.
* If you see a PURPLE line on any of them, that indicates they are used in a different project you have created. >>> See Attachment ...
Remember that you will only see these mark lines in events.If you don't want iDVD to show its theme or menu then go into the Map mode in iDVD and drqg the slideshow containing the photos and video clips into the blue Auto Play bin at the left.
Click to view full size
When inserted into a DVD player it will begin playing immediatey. However, when findished it will fall back to the menu so use the menu which would look best for the situation. They can be modified by droppiing image files into the menu settings bin to give it a different background.
Make sure your photos and video clips end up in the slideshow together:

Selecting and moving clips to the right of the TCI
Is there a way to be able to move the editted clips that are to the right of my current TCI, and keep the edits as they are?
I'm looking for a ripple delete with more control if that makes sense. My old editting software had a group tool which alowed me to make a cut and move every edit to the right, to exactly where I wanted to move them. I tried using the track select, but it only works on the track I drag, even if I select more than one track.I'm not sure what the tool is called--I call it the "A-Tool" because you hit "A" to get it to come up. Anyway, hit "A" on your keyboard and shift+click on the left-most clip that you want to move, and it will select that clip and all clips to the right of it, on all tracks. Then you can move them over. If you don't shift+click, but just click, it will select only the clips on the single track.

I need to revert my timeline back to where it was before it was saved. I made a compound clip and then trimmed it and exported it and then shut down fcp. So, when I opened it back up there was only the compound clip. Can someone help me and tell me how to revert back it back to the last time before it was saved? HELP??
Select the compound clip and do Clip->Break Apart Clip Items (or Cmd-Shift-G).

Why is a self contained movie faster to compress?
Hi, I noticed something today, I sent from FC to compresor a sequence 4 minutes long and if I select the best compression for DVD it takes 4 hours to compress the video (DVCPRO HD720p60 to SD) but if I make a self contained movie first and then I compress that file it only takes 20 something minutes, do you have an idea why is that? Am I losing quality in the self contained movie?
ThanksHi:
If your sequence is just plain video edit, I mean, no effects, color correction, graphic elements (text, etc), then you'll get no quality difference encoding from your timeline or from the self contained. Both sources are same quality.
But if you have effects and graphcis in your sequence that you need to render, then you'll get the best quality encoding directly from the timeline, because FCP will use the raw info from each frame as source for the encoding, NOT the rendered ones.
The difference in quality depends on how heavy your effects/graphics are.
Hope that helps !

CS4 will not create a movie file, it just stops!
Can anyone help, I am at my wits end trying to create a movie file and have tried over half a dozen formats without success. Everything appears to be going well then it just stops! It was fine the last time I tried it 3 months ago.
Waiting in anticipation for a Premiere Pro expert to come to my aid.

Can't export as a self contained movie
I made a slidshow using FCE. Exported it as a self contained movie. And then moved it to iDVD and burned the disk. I later went back into FCE to make some changed to the show. Now, when I try to export it as a movie, it exports only about 10 seconds of the show. What might have happened and how do I rectify it? It is a puzzle to me especially since I was successful the first time.
I'm running 10.5.8 on the black iBook.Check that there is no in/out points in the Timeline.
In/out points will export only the selected area.

Dear All ,
Can any body tell me about the process of Move In and Move out from Business Master data to Technical Master data and Move In and Move Out . Install meter and Meter Reading in particular order For Example Following :
Correct me if i am wrong :
Move In :
1)Create BP bp
2)Create Contract account caa1
3) Create Connection object ES55
4) Create Premise ES60
5) Create Installation ES30
6) Create Device Location ES65
7) Install meter EG31
8) Move in customer EC50E
9) Create MRO EL01
10) Enter read EL28
Move Out:
1) Create Periodic Meter read order/bill order EL01
2) Create move out EC55E
3) Verify periodic bill order suppressed ES31
4) Generate Final Bill EASIBI
5) Verify BP moved out ES31
Looking forward for any help, correct me if i missed any thing and kindlu also help me on Reconnection and Disconnection process as well.
Thanks
KhanHello,
This all looks good however when the Move-in, Move-out process is execution a meter reading order is automatically created either with meter reading reason:
06 Meter reading at move-in
OR
03 Final meter reading at move-in/out.
It is not necessary to manually create the MRO via EL01 here.
It is also possible to create the business partner and contract account at the time of move-in.
You can find more information regarding this at the following link:

Container resize and paint on the same time needed
Hi all,
I am trying to make a transparent window using screenshots and I am getting a flickering of the image I am drawing on the window.
I think this is happening because setLocation() method moves the window and makes the repaint but with the old graphics on it. When the paint() will be called probably the paint event will be executed after the move event so on the window the two Graphics will be painted. This is what I think that causes the flicker.
If anyone has an ideea of how can I make the move - setLocation() - and paint() in the same time please tell me!
Thanks,
RobertYou cannot do this with a UCM hunt group. CCX cannot play media to the caller after you invoke a Call Redirect or Call Consult Transfer.
You can do this if you configure the target users as contact center agents and use a Select Resource step. If none of the agents are available [ready] to take a call, you can play a welcome prompt or other actions that is interrupted if an agent becomes available. There are two noteworthy caveats to this:
1) You can only offer a call to one contact center user at a time. This would be analogous to a Longest Idle hunt group model.
2) There is a second branch that you will see on this step: Connected. Note that when an agent's phone is ringing, the caller is not in the queued branch of the step. The caller is hearing Network MoH.
This means in practice you will want to put the welcome message before whatever else you want to do with the call and let it complete. -
Flex won't display a child of a container movie clip
I have a Container Movie clip called frameContainer in wich I load new Frames( a symbol from flash), with this function:
var i:Number=0;
frameContainer.x=48;
xPos=0;
do
frames.push(new Frame());
frameContainer.addChild(frames[i]);
slideshow.push(false);
frames[i].index=i;
frames[i].f.width=frameWidth;
frames[i].f.height=frameHeight;
frames[i].x=xPos;
frames[i].y=0;
xPos+=frames[i].f.width+10;
frames[i].f.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fMouseClickOnFrame,false,0,true);
i++;
}while(xPos<200)
frameNumber=i;
this.addChild(frameContainer);
The previous function works great.And I have a function called addNewFrame() which adds a new Frame at the end:
private function addNewFrame():void
frames.push(new Frame());
frameContainer.addChild(frames[frameNumber]);
frames[frameNumber].f.width=frameWidth;
frames[frameNumber].f.height=frameHeight;
frames[frameNumber].x=xPos;
frames[frameNumber].index=frameNumber;
xPos+=frames[frameNumber].width+10;
frameNumber++;
frames[frameNumber-1].f.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fMouseClickOnFrame,false,0,true );
But, for some reason, the new frame can't be seen. When I type just
addChild(frames[frameNumber]);
(instead of frameContainer.addChild(frames[frameNumber]) )
it works great. Also I can access the new frame with the getChildAt method, the only, and biggest problem is that I can't see that new frame when I add it as a child of the frameContainer movie clip.
Can someone please helpSame thing in iMovie '09 I just noticed. But it renders, so I guess who cares.
