Creating a banner that "unrolls" from a wall in a video

I have a few video clips that were taken handheld...so there is some intentional camera shake. I need to create a rolled up banner that is on the wall of the video that unrolls - revealing what is on the "banner". I have extremely little experiance with AF. Is this possible to do? If so...how would I attempt this?
Thanks,
Dean

Depends on the shot and what you mean by extremely limited. Is it a closeup? Is it far away? You may be able to get away with trickery on a long shot that won't play close up. Unfurling a banner will need an external 3d program like Maya that can simulate cloth dynamics, or you will need to shoot it for real. Either way, you need to use AE to composite it. But, again, depending on the shot, you may be able to get away with a 2D track or you may need to do a 3D camera solve in an external program to place the shot in frame.
The major problem with what you're asking is you didn't shoot your footage with a plan of how to put it together. Because this is probably a 2D and 3D solution, you may want to consider supporting a local VFX artist or reshooting it with a plan. There are ways you could do this without 3D and even without AE.

Creating Secure Form that Outputs from a Database?

I need to create a form that pulls data from a database (of any format) based on what the user enters. Specifically, I want a customer to be able to enter their name in a field and output data based on their name. I was about to use a standard PHP mail form methodology, but I realize this would be insecure (I would like to keep my customer list hidden). Can someone offer a suggestion on what I should look for in creating a secure form/database output structure for my site? Even if it's just the name of the method so I can search for a tutorial. Thank you!

Does it matter that anyone could enter the right name in the form to return the customer data? If so you need to use a password.
1. Create a form through which the customer can register their details with a user name and password.
2. On the server side hash the password with something like SHA256 (plenty of open source implementations about or you can create your own).
3. Store the customer details together with a userid and hashed password in the server database
4. Create a form through which the customer can request their details, and asks them for their userid and password.
6. On the server side, rehash the password from the form and request a row from the customer database where the userid and hashed password match an entry
7. Return the customer data if row retrieved from database else return a message saying on data matching those details etc.
Regards
Phil

Using tables - wanting to create long table that runs from page to page

I want to create a table to which I can add rows as I work (alphabetizing). The final table will end up being 6-7 pages long. Inserting a page break did nothing--all rows below where the page break is still disappear and do not go onto the next page. This is a Word feature that I'm hoping I can have on appleworks. Does it exist?
I cannot put Word on this computer since I'm not running an OS high enough (I have 10.2.8)

Cyndi:
Just wondering if you found your answer. I am having the same issue. I did finally figure out after several days of reading searches how to add pages to your table which is in >Format > document > then select the box for how many pages you want to go down or across in the box to the lower right corner. Then you can insert cells by highlighting the row by holding option key as you drag across the row & in Table click insert cells. Hope that helps. You can determine whether the table is horz. or vert. in > file > page set up. Click on the image of the page/man that displays the orientation that most closely fits your needs.
However, the problem that I'm continuing to have is that the >insert page break command does not appear to work in Tables. It remains greyed out no matter what I've tried. Short of trying some "tell" command that a fellow using 10.4. in Pages suggested. I'm in Appleworks 6 running on my iBook, as you are. I saw a reply from ms Peggy suggesting that there is some difficulty in getting that to work, and so far I would have to agree. Her idea was to add cells such that they would fall over the page break, which you can see using the >page view command in the Window drop down menu. But that would not be so neat with the lines running vertically from the top of page to the first box. I guess it could be squeezed down to the size of the "break". Is that all there is ?

How to create a constant that differs from Dev to Test to Prod

Hello,
I am customizing our CRM PCUI application (5.0 CRM under 7.0 EP and NW 2004s).
In one of the tabs, we call a BW webquery.
Obviously, the URL cannot be hardcoded in the ABAP controller class, but must be declared somewhere else, so that the Sys Adms may change it whenever needed, in any environment.
I have read there is, in the Customizing, an Information System - Variables section that lets you do this, but this is NOT present in our system! In my Information SystemS section (I do not have an Information System without the "S"), we have: Logistics, Administration... but no variables section! Does that correspond to a transaction?
Is there any other flexible way to declare global (cross - Class) constants in the ABAP environment?
Thanks and... points awarded to the brave ones
Riccardo

HI,
In your application check for the system id. and hardcode accordingly.
if sy-sysid = 'DEV'
url = development
elseif sy-sysid = 'QA'
endif.
Thanks
Mahesh

Creating a banner

Okay I have created a banner that is 1024px X 115px. The banner has a logo on the left side. What I want to know is the best way to make the banner centered at the top of the page and the background of the banner (everything except the logo) stretch out when people are viewing on a bigger screen that 1024x 768.
I understand you can use "repeat-x;" or "width: 100%" however I dont want the logo to repeat with the banner.
I thought I could save the banner just without the logo then make that the background and somehow save the logo by itsself and then put it over the background but I couldnt get that to work either.
PLEASE HELP!

You can learn a lot by looking at the source code in a site.
Your example is a fairly typical WordPress Layout. A repeating pattern background in the body.

A background in the header.

Navigation images inserted into the header foreground.

Create a Slideshow that pulls information from a database

I want to create a slideshow banner that will showcase our products. The slideshow will contain the image of the product, the name, the price, the item code and the link when someone clicks on it. Each week we update the best sellers and it can be from 5 to 15 different products. Similar to what we have now in our website www.deiequipment.com which now is static, we want to animate it and rotate the products like a slideshow.
The problem we are encountering is that we have to manually update the slideshow content.
We would like to know if there is a way through scripting or catalyst to connect to a database and simply update all these fields automatically. So for example if the database has 5 items, automatically will pre-fill each field listed above and the slideshow will have 5 products.
If we update the database now with 10 products, to update automatically. That way we can create 1 slide show, the time it takes to rotate to the next product, and add simple button controls to the slide show for next and back that will simply go through the loaded items.
I tried to do a research on how to do it online but some takes me to scripting, others to catalyst dabases, but none are specific to what I need.
As a note, the image will just be an image holder that will be updated with the image field in the database that points to the URL location of the image.
Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks

Thank you for reply and assistance.
I was doing some testing on my side regarding the size and if I do a single box rotaing ad, it will be 180 W x 220 H
If I do the banner style it will be 540 W x 220 H that will have 3 boxes similar to this:
Where the images will rotate right to left every 10 seconds and repeat once they have reach the last item.
The image holders will be 100 x 125
The fields that will change will be:
Name - Ex. Clear, 6" Polycarbonate Bud Vases, 12 Pack
Price - Ex. $26.28
Brand - Ex. Cambro: BV6CW-135
Image - URL http://www.deiequipment.com/core/media/media.nl?id=4239&c=562544&h=d2979ac8391cf36bfcb3
I am using Flash Professional CS5, I am not too familiar with the actionscripts yet, but I have done programming in the past so I can do research on how to work with those.
Once again, thank you for your help!

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Hi Shegra,
Paste this into a applescript editor window and run it from there. In the script you may need to adjust the four properties to agree with your spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions.

Is there a way to link or create a widget that links back to the iTunes U app on your iPad from your iBook?

Is there a way to link or create a widget that links back to the iTunes U app on your iPad from your iBook?
I have already found the Apple Widget Builder (http://widgets.itunes.apple.com/builder/) and that works fine if you want to link to the "App Store", but I want to know if there is a way to "open an app" that is already installed on the iPad instead of double tapping the home button to switch between apps. (I know using the home button is very simple, but I am trying to find an even easier way to just "tap a widget" or "link" that will open iTunes U right up) I am only asking if this is possible for people who may have a hard time running an iPad at the beginning.
I appreciate any help, thanks!

I appreciate your help, but I had already looked at LinkMaker and I thought that was my answer, but as far as I could tell that still only links to an app in the app store. Yes it will link to iTunes U in the app store and you can then hit Open, but that is too drawn out of a process. We would like to know a way to just open the app directly.
Thank you!

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

You want a "Drop Box" style folder. You should be able to achieve this by creating a folder and giving it permissions similar to the "Drop Box" folder in your users Public Folder (i.e. write only permissions.)

if you use iTunes match in order to create space and remove music from your hard drive, does that happen automatically when you subscribe and upload your music or is there another step to remove the music from your hard drive once you've uploaded to iTunes match?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.

What is the best way to create a flash banner that features video?

Hi I have created a html5 video banner but I also need to create a flash banner that will host a video in it
I have created the flash banner but not sure where to start in order to add video to it. I understand the best way is to host the video file on a server but how do I get that video to play within the banner?
Thanks

You can incorporate an FLVPlayback component that automatically loads the desired video. You could also make use of the NetStream class instead of having the component. Google either one to get information on using them.

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

You can't. It doesn't work that way.
the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums
