Creating several slightly different versins of video

Hi.  I am working on a video where we want slightly different versions of it for different coteries (this is a legal thing, they are all in English).  I know I could duplicate project and make changes but we will be contently evolving the video and most of it is the same. In FCP 7 I would do this with nested sequences.  I would have a sequence for each version and have a number of reusable nested sequences for the content that is the same.  Where it is different either edit straight into the sequence or have sequences specific to the version which I also nest.
How should I approach this with FCP X.  Maybe I can share compositions between projects in the same library?

You would be doing yourself a huge favor if you right click on the H.264 originals in the Event Browser and select Transcode media and select Create Optimized Media.  You can delete all those transcoded files later when you finish your project, but in the meantime, I have to say: FCPX will struggle to play original media like H.264 while editing. H.264 is a highly compressed "delivery" format optimized for playback only.  The transcoded optimized media in FCPX is ProRes 422 optimized for editing. Every frame in ProRes is a complete image of that frame whereas in H.264, only the data that changes from one frame to the next occupies a specific frame (except for "key frames" which are complete images used as a starting point in a "block of images"). It takes a lot of processing power to assemble a complete frame for editing/display when using that format.
Karsten was right about nesting compound clips... they will start taking a severe performance hit if you use too many. FCPX has a feature that allows you to build "Auditions" which lets you line up as many clips as you like to occupy a specific time in your project. You can select which version you wish to use right in the storyline. This is a very short tutorial demonstrating the use of auditions in FCPX : http://www.rippletraining.com/under-5-controlling-your-auditions.html

  • How to create several youtubeclips in different videocontainers

    Hi guys,
    i'm new in edge and in this forum:
    I've read all the discussion about create several youtube clips in a single container :
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4722007#4722007
    What i need to do is to have diffrent containers in the same page with different you tube videos.
    I've tried one single container and the method suggested by RUSSmsn :
         1. RussMSN, 
           18-set-2012 5.05    in reply to Kirch12
         So, the way I did it was like this:
         Create the button and open the code panel for that button.  Create a click action.  Within the code panel, paste this:
         var youtubevid = $("<iframe/>");
         sym.$("vcontainer").empty().append(youtubevid);
         youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
         youtubevid.attr('width','425');
         youtubevid.attr('height','350');
         youtubevid.attr('src','http://www.youtube.com/embed/ykF1y2EJ2nI');  // url/Video_Id
         youtubevid.attr('frameborder','1');       // 1 | 0
         youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0');   // 1 | 0
         What that does is empty the existing vcontainer, and places a new one with the new youtube video.  You can add this to as many buttons as you like,      obviously changing the URL ID for each, and it Should swap the video for you on click.
         Hope that helps!
         Russ
    and it works perfectly....
    The problem is i want to add more videos in the same page...
    I've tried to create
    var youtube2 and vcontainer2 but it didn't work....
    So i tried moving my first vcontainer to the second position in my page adding a label "button2" :
    //start code
         sym.play("button2");
    var youtubevid = $("<iframe/>");
    sym.$("vcontainer").empty().append(youtubevid);
    youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
    youtubevid.attr('width','800');
    youtubevid.attr('height','390');
    youtubevid.attr('src','http://www.youtube.com/embed/ykF1y2EJ2nI');  // url/Video_Id
    youtubevid.attr('frameborder','1');       // 1 | 0
    youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0');   // 1 | 0
         //end code
    but this solution didn't work neither....
    I'm asking if is possible to have 2 videos in the same page...
    I've followed also the suggestion of .heathrowe :
    http://www.heathrowe.com/adobe-edge-preview-4-append-youtube-video/
    Again in the stage action panel after creating a composition ready i've tried to add a second var youtubevid2 and a second container vcontainer2 like this:
    //start
    var youtubevid = $("<iframe/>");
    sym.$("vcontainer").append(youtubevid);
    youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
    youtubevid.attr('width','800');
    youtubevid.attr('height','390');
    youtubevid.attr('src','http://www.youtube.com/embed/GqcPh3OXoNo');  // url/Video_Id
    youtubevid.attr('frameborder','1');       // 1 | 0
    youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0');   // 1 | 0
    var youtubevid2 = $("<iframe/>");
    sym.$("vcontainer2").append(youtubevid);
    youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
    youtubevid.attr('width','800');
    youtubevid.attr('height','390');
    youtubevid.attr('src','http://www.youtube.com/embed/DF6QvYNHjQ');  // url/Video_Id
    youtubevid.attr('frameborder','1');       // 1 | 0
    youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0');   // 1 | 0

    ----but again it didn't worked
    To be clear i want to create a page similar to www.bestofyoutube.com with a list of two or more videos in the same page...
    Any suggestions ??
    Thanks in advance

    I use code
    var youtubevid = $("<iframe/>");
    sym.$("Rectangle").append(youtubevid);
    youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
    youtubevid.attr('width','853');
    youtubevid.attr('height','480');

    youtubevid.attr('frameborder','5');   // 1 | 0
    youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0');   // 1 | 0
    I In Use button that closes the container, all is well it works!
    but if you close the container when the video started, the audio from YouTube continues to play, tell me what code to hang on the Close button to stop the video from YouTube?

  • Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

    Hi,
    I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
    After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly.  Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
    All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
    Can anyone help?

    Have you added the target files as baggage?

  • I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite.  I want to create one movie that includes these short movies that I can then either burn to a DVD or show in iMovie's Theater.  How can I do it?

    I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite.  I want to combine those short movies into one movie that I can loop and burn on a DVD or show in iMovie Theater.  How can I do it?  The movies are now shared to iTunes.

    Another easy way to fix this.
    What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
    Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
    Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

  • How to create links to different files on the same page?

    Good day to all again,
    can someone please guide me through creating several links to different files on the same page. In other words, I am creating a photo page where my links are called Gallery 1, Gallery 2, etc... I would like to create links so when the User clicks on Gallery 1, they see Gallery 1 slide show in the frame; when the user then clicks Gallery 2, then they see Gallery 2 slide show in the window.
    My slide show files are done and I am using GoLive CS2. I have no knowledge of JavaScript or ActionScript/Flash.
    Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi Diana,
    I'm a professional photographer and in the process of getting
    my finished site published. I used Coffeecup Photo Gallery. You can
    create multiple albums on the same page. Do a Google search for the
    address. It's easy, inexpensive, and it works. I tried to do this
    with the Photo Gallery in DW and FireWorks--but couldn't get it
    right. CC uses Flash and Javascript.
    Good Luck

  • How to create several fast loading big albums in iWeb using your own templates

    hi guys - here comes one for the real cracks.
    i am trying to create a nice PICTURES page containing about 100 albums with each of it containing up to 100 individual pictures on my website, where i also have several videos online and (soon) audio files - everything available for download.
    my problem is that the main "My album" page in iWeb will always ALL sub albums on just one page, which would in my case lead to endless loading time - i have now 30 albums online and it already takes ages to display all of them.
    so i want to create several album pages, each of them displaying only 6 individual sub albums and this way allow a decent page loading time. this is usually done by just adding a new "my album" page using one of apple's templates. and here is my problem: my web site design is made from scratch and is not similar to any of apple's templates. since iWeb does not allow you to save your individual pages as "templates" i had to go a long way around, using iWebsites and merge a newly created picture template page (containing my own duplicated "my album") with ma main site. for some reason this did almost work out but in the end not really - if you are interested have a look at the separate discussion in this forum
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15532580#15532580  (how to save any iWeb page as a template)
    so my question here is if any of you know of any other way to achieve my goal of getting several individual main albums containing 6 subalbums (this way it fits on one page and allow NOT having to scroll down at all) and this in a way which will fit the design of my web page. have a look at the now existing pictures page and imagine that i want more or less the same but divided in individual pages containing only 6 albums per page:
    http://www.giorgiodellapietra.com/giorgiodellapietra.com/PICTURES/PICTURES.html
    here an example of how it should look like in the end:
    http://www.giorgiodellapietra.com/giorgiodellapietra.com/PICTURES/Seiten/MIXED.h tml#0
    thank you very much for your impact.
    cheers
    george

    hi folks
    don't worry, i have given up as it really seems iWeb can not do this.
    however, i have identified 2 possible solutions. the one i have chosen is to simply add new albums by choosing one of apple's templates and then modify it until it fits my design. i have created 15 additional main albums this way and it took me (because of the "mass production") only 15 minutes per album to get it done. now i have enough empty albums spare for the next few years...
    the other way to accomplish what i wanted would have been to make the main "my album" page invisible for visitors and use it only for administration (so it can contain 100 albums but nobody would ever have to wait until they load). then create a new page which i call picture (copy any of my other pages and modify it) on which i will post some "virtual albums", which means use any picture out of an album and create a direct link to the album. i could use a vary low resolution version of the main pic and this way i would have a "picture" page which loads extremely fast but is actually nothing else than a link to the real album. then just copy this page as many times as i need albums and change the pictures and the links in it. the advantage is that it loads very fast, the disadvantage that i loose the ability to scroll through albums by moving the mouse over it, as what you see is of course only a picture and not the album.
    i have chosen the first version because it has the advantage to be able to move albums as one pleases. however, both versions would be fine.
    it's already done and eaten.
    thanks anyway for reading yourself through this...
    cheers

  • Creating several intances of a symbol in AS3

    Hi,
    When we create several instances of the same symbol, can we instantiate them using a single variable, or is it required to use a different variable per instance?
    In the following example, the "var c:Circle" is used 10 times to instantiate the same MC symbol.  How can those be altered or removed one by one if all instances refer to the same variable name??
    var totalCircles:uint = 10;
    var i:uint;
    for (i = 0; i < totalCircles; i++)
    // Create a new Circle instance.
    var c:Circle = new Circle();
    // Place the new Circle at an x coordinate that will space the circles
    // evenly across the Stage.
    c.x = (stage.stageWidth / totalCircles) * i;
    // Place the Circle instance at the vertical center of the Stage.
    c.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
    // Add the Circle instance to the current timeline.
    addChild(c);

    In your 'for' loop, you don't have to declare the 'c' variable in every pass of the loop. Instead, you can declare it outside the loop, like you do your 'i' variable:
    var c:Circle;
    for (i = 0; i < totalCircles; i++) {
    // Create a new Circle instance.
    var c = new Circle();
    Then, since you are reusing the 'c' variable for each pass, as you probably have guessed, you can't reference all of your objects with that same variable (except for the last-created one) after your loop is completed. What I typically do, and suggest, is that you put all of your objects into an array for ease of accessing them after instantiation:
    var circleHolder_arr:Array = [];
    var c:Circle;
    for (i = 0; i < totalCircles; i++) {
    // Create a new Circle instance.
    var c = new Circle();
    circleHolder_arr.push(c);//This adds each instance to the array
    ...And when you want to do something, like remove all of your circles:
    function removeCircles(e:MouseEvent = null):void{
    for (var i:int = 0; i < circleHolder_arr.length; i++) {
    removeChild(circleHolder_arr[i]);
    //This is where you could also do other things, such as removing event listeners and other memory mgnt items
    btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeCircles);

  • Creating several records pr. row in a layout

    We are building a BPS solution on an existing BW implementation. In the BPS solution the users will enter adjustments to the data already existing in a BW cube. The adjustments will be stored in a new transactional cube, while keeping the old BW cube.
    Our problem is this: We will need to create several records for each row in the layout(s). For example, all entered records should automatically be reversed in the next period.
    How can we create additional records? Is an Exit function (ABAP) the only option?

    By "automatically reversed" I mean that the amount (the most important, but not the only, key figure) will be negated. That is not possible with a copy function.
    But the problem is even more complicated. 'Activity' is a characteristic. Based on an entered record we will need to create one or more derived records with a different activity, but with the activity will be based on the activity of the original record. In some cases we will also need to make calculations on the amount of such derived records.
    And both the original record and the derived records will need to be reversed in the next period, i.e. negated amount and period change, which will again double the number of records to write per row in the layout.
    The copy function can't both change Activity AND use the Activity of the original record as a condition.
    But if we find a way to use the copy function, we would still need to use a FOX formula for changing the amounts (and also some other key figures as well) when necessary. Planning sequences are linear, so I assume it could be difficult for a planning function to execute for several records derived in an earlier step in the same planning sequence.
    We have decided to look deeper into the FOX programming language and see if it's flexible enough to solve all of these tasks.

  • Question - Y do my fonts look slightly different when publish site to .mac?

    I've created a website on iWeb but when i publish it and view it in safari the fonts look slightly different. It's hard to explain but they basically just look worse. Can anyone let me know why this might be and how i could fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

    Quit iWeb, go to Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.apple.iWeb.plist.
    Restart your Mac, launch iWeb and republish.
    You should really convert any text done in "copperplate" to an image. Otherwise it will be converted to an (ugly) alternative on any computer that doesn't have this font installed.

    Hi, i have finish my professionnal website, now i just want to translate it in several languages french,spanish,portuguese and english, did muse can do that option or did i have to create several pages or create other websites because muse don't have this option now thanks

    Hi there,
    There is no option yet to localize the content in Muse.
    If you would like to publish your site to business catalyst then creating different pages in the same Muse site is recommended.
    Else, you can make a back up of this muse site and and create another site using this site, (save the same site with different name to another location) then open that one and edit text in site in another language, and then do the same for third language and so on.
    Thanks.

  • Powerpoint renders slides slightly differently on different Macs

    I have again this weird problem with Powerpoint.
    Sometimes, slides look differently on different machines.
    The difference is not very large, but definitely noticeable, in particular, if there are other objects on the slide besides the text.
    For an example please see
    1. (MacBookPro)
    PDF: http://zach.in.tu-clausthal.de/tmp/pptonmacbook.pdf
    PNG: http://zach.in.tu-clausthal.de/tmp/pptonmacbook.png
    2. (Modbook)
    PDF: http://zach.in.tu-clausthal.de/tmp/pptonmodbook.pdf
    PNG: http://zach.in.tu-clausthal.de/tmp/pptonmodbook.png
    The effect is most pronounced on the first line of bullet 2. (The "R^d" thing is an image.)
    I created the PDFs using the print command in Powerpoint and then saving to PDF.
    I created the PNG taking a screenshot.
    As you can see, there are two problems:
    1.
    When I print the slide on the MacBook to PDF, the layout of the text is slightly different than on screen.
    2.
    The layout of the text looks different on both machines.
    Both machines run Mac OS 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard).
    The powerpoint versions on both machines are identical and up-to-date (12.2.3).
    The powerpoint files on both machines are identical (just copied).
    I use an in-house font on the slides, which is StoneSansITC; I copied the font files from one machine to the other; they all reside in ~/Library/Fonts, and this is the only place where these font files are located.
    I have checked with 'pdffonts' and it seems to me that the Stone fonts are indeed correctly embedded in the PDFs. Here is the output of pdffonts:
    % pdffonts pptonmodbook.pdf
    name type emb sub uni object ID
    NNCXIS+Symbol TrueType yes yes yes 24 0
    TYRNZE+Helvetica TrueType yes yes yes 21 0
    RTAEGG+MSBM10 Type 1 yes yes no 26 0
    ZXGVHI+StoneSansITCStd-Medium Type 1C yes yes no 8 0
    ZXGVHI+StoneSansITCStd-Medium Type 1C yes yes yes 17 0
    RTAEGG+CMSSI8 Type 1 yes yes no 27 0
    ZJTMTS+StoneSansITCStd-MediumItalic Type 1C yes yes no 22 0
    JHAIES+Wingdings TrueType yes yes yes 19 0
    With pptonmacbook.pdf, pdffonts yields very similar output.
    In Powerpoint, I have checked File -> Properties -> Contents, and the list under "Fonts Used" shows the StoneSansITC fonts alright.
    The compatibility report in Powerpoint does not report any issues with fonts (only a few warnings about animations, movies, and "some shapes cannot be changed in earlier versions ..").
    Does anyone have an idea how I could resolve this differences in rendering?
    All hints, suggestions, and insights will be highly appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

  • Safe to delete a "List Template" that has been used to create several libraries?

    In SharePoint 2010, is it safe to delete a "List Template" from the Gallery that has been used to create several libraries?  I have a user that has requested the template be deleted.  But he has used the template to create several active
    libraries that he needs to keep.  I wanted to make sure there will be no impact to those libraries and associated workflow, etc...
    Thanks! 

    Libraries created from a template are not tied to the template, so the template can be removed if it is no longer required. The same holds true for Site Templates.
    Yes, the template can be removed.
    One more thing, if you dont want delete the List template or having some fear than you can hide it from UI. in Template just hide it.
    <ListTemplate Hidden="TRUE" />
    But is you have the list definition than its different story.

    I don't think you want to combine all of the HTML into one file. That doesn't make too much senese. If you wanted to, then just copy everything from all 3 files between <body></body> and paste into one html file between <body></body>.

  • How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

    I'm seeking a little guidance -
    How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
    The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
    I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
    I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
    I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
    If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.
