Curious about splicing or inserting at exact playhead position

I was just experimenting with using both the cut/insert section commands in the arrange tool bar and the snip and splice commands in the region edit. Just for fun, I snipped a section at some arbitrary position (a one bar section beginning at 5 1 2 161) and wanted to splice it (or insert it) at, say 10 2 3 150. So, I snipped a one bar section at 5 1 2 161 and then put the playhead at 10 2 3 150 and wanted to splice (or insert) the cut section there (at the playhead). BUT, no matter what snap mode I use it won't insert exactly at the playhead. In the snap mode box, I have tried "absolute value," "snap automation," not "snap automation," beat, bar, sample, smart (dumb!!) -- various view levels of the arrange grid -- but it always snaps to the nearest division. I have to be able to insert or splice a section I've cut at the exact playhead position, no matter what the playhead position without it wanting to snap to the nearest division or whatever (and I cannot find anything about splicing or inserting at the rounded playhead position).
Am I just missing an obvious point, or am I just dumb!!! (don't answer that!!).
Peace - alex

I tried this and the way I worked it out is to : Splice the track to create a new region. Move the Playhead to where you want it. Now with the new region highlighted hold control and use the Move to Playhead or the : key.

I am curious about this sound

It may sound a bit weird but Im just curious about it and want to see if any body can hear what I can hear when knock on the left hand side of the home button with your finger tip, might hear some little noise. It sounds like a little ball is in the iphone. Also when u knock on the area around camera lens has that sound as well. Does any body can hear it as well? or is it just me realising this?

My friend is using same model iphone4s and she has exact same sound on both areas..
it sounds like ' T ' sound. Think i should ask more people who uses 4s. Oh and you have to place your iphone on the table and try.

I added an accordion widget and it works on one site page while same code won't work on another page.
It works here: http://dev.triptocollege.org/educator/Things-I-Should-Be-Doing-Now/K-5th-Grades.aspx
Does not work here: http://dev.triptocollege.org/educator/Things-I-Should-Be-Doing-Now.aspx
Yet both pages have identical code (with absolute links to the CSS and JS files).
Can anyone shed some light on a solution?

Good luck with the search.

Curious about object trace

When I trace an object - say an instance of myMenu named myMenu, I get the following:
trace (myMenu);
// returns [object, myMenu_1];
I'm very curious about the _1 at the end of myMenu... why is it there? What does it signify. I would think it would return just the instance name.

Okay, so I changed my instance name from myMenu to thisMenu.
But the part I don't understand is when I return a trace, I get myMenu_1, which is not the class name. The class name is just myMenu. So why the extra _1 and what does it signifiy?

Curious about capture preview

Just received and installed my new 8-core Mac Pro and was excited about running Premiere Pro CS5 on it. I have a Canon HV20 with a number of tapes full of HD video, and I monkeyed around with the HV20 with Premiere Elements on my last computer (a PC running XP) so I was anxious to see what I could do with the Mac and looking forward to creating some discs out of the footage that's been languishing in a drawer.
My very first task was to capture some video and I was surprised to see that during the capture, there was no on-screen preview. Apparently I'm supposed to peer at the tiny LCD and try to use it for my clip caps. I was really surprised and figured I'd missed a setting somewhere, and then I found this link:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7faaa .html
which in italics states that the Mac OS is apparently incapable of providing this function. So I'm curious - why not? It worked in Elements on my 7-year-old PC. What's the deal?
Thanks in advance for the info,
G.

Oh well, no problem. I'm relatively certain I had preview on cap in Elements on Windows. But it's been a few months.
Anyway, how 'bout my second question:
"A second thing that I'm curious about: why the heck does capture stop every time Premiere loses focus? I can't even check an email while it's capturing because it instantly halts once it's not the focused window. This behavior is particularly annoying."
Any way to modify this behavior? I'd like to be able to do more than one thing at a time with my computer.

I am curious about the Probox23 can mount behind the AIO PCs.

Hi there,
I just saw Probox23 can mount behind the AIO PCs. I am very curious about it. If I buy a Probx23, should I buy the wall mount kit at the other place? Where can I buy the wall mount kit? What kind of the wall mount kit is suitable for Probox23?
Sorry about asking so much questions.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Probox 23 has with one wall mount adapter in accessories box for shipping.
This wall mount adapter is just for Probox 23 and from MSI.
This wall mount adapter can be support standard wall mount kit.(75mm*75mm or 100mm*100mm)
Please buy standard wall mount kit from any shopping store or shopping website.

Still curious about the ideacentre Stick?

Last week, we announced the ideacentre Stick, which is a stick computer that you can plug into any TV display and turn it into a Windows PC with 2GB RAM and enough power to browse the web, create documents, etc.
So, what are some best practices when it comes to stick computing? Well, we have some below, check 'em out:
If you're still curious about what our device is, check out our datasheet here: http://news.lenovo.com/images/20034/LenovoideacentreStick300Datasheet_Final.pdf

We had an absolute blast. I don't think I'll ever see a bigger fireworks display. I took a few pictures through our weekend (but not nearly enough to truly show what all we did!)
This was the view from our hotel in Backbay. That water line is where the fireworks were set off.
this is one street over from Newbury st. We were on our way to an improv show and ended up walking all the way to the center of the metro! (not a good idea when the wife was in heels, but we learned our lesson and took the subway whenever the walk was more then 20 minutes)
This was actually shot from the science museum through a window. For reasons.
Waiting for the fireworks. Everyone who had boats were piled up about a quarter mile from the barge. also city lights.
and more city lights (we have a competition at work, this and one other will be my entries!)

Anyone curious about Cider???

Hello All,
Yes, I do love games, and I probably spend (waste) way too much time on them.
With that out of the way, is anyone curious about how Cider, and the new EA games that use Cider technology, seems to work?
All I can say is: WOW!
Actually, it's quite an interesting twist, and very clever. First, let me say that Cider does seem to deliver all that it promised, and these new games do work very well. I am currently working my way through Command & Conquer 3, and no problems so far. Admittedly, this is a real time strategy title, and as such it isn't an ultimate test of this technology (a first person shooter will be), but the game does feel as if there is plenty of "overhead." We'll get a real test when one of the FPS titles gets the Cider treatment.
But, I am excited about this technology. You see, Cider approaches the problem of "porting" a game to OS X in a completely new and innovative way. If I properly understand how it works, Cider completely side-steps the difficulty in coding a game for OS X and OpenGL, and it takes advantage of the gaming strengths of Direct-X, by simply wrapping the Windows version of the game in a WIN-32 API "box." Simple, and brilliant.
While I was skeptical about the utter simplicity of this solution when I first read of it, it has been born out since I installed the game and did a bit of digging. By viewing the "package contents," I was able to dig down through the nested levels of associated directories, and I eventually found the "CNC3" binary. Yep, it's a .exe file!!
Obviously, the ability to "wrap" any PC game in a Cider box and distribute it for OS X is exciting news for anyone like me who is nuts about games. However, many of you who couldn't care less about games are probably thinking, "So what?"
Well, if this can be done for games, think about the possibilities for other Windows-only software titles. If we can run Windows titles in their own "pre-packaged" and custom-tailored Windows environment, there is no need for either "virtualization" software or Bootcamp.
Scott

Hello Mandy,
Yes, Cider is a direct descendant of the Linux wrapper, according to the information on Transgaming's website.
As I mention in my original post, we won't really know how well these wrapped games compare with their counterparts running natively in Windows until a FPS title is released, and frame rate "stress" becomes apparent.
However, it looks really good so far, from what I can tell. Keep in mind that the game, itself, really is running natively, and the only thing that must be "translated" (according to the information I have been able to find) are the calls to the GPU. As I understand it, the DirectX calls are simply being translated into OS X-speak (perhaps directly to Quartz?? That's what it feels like; not OpenGL), and this shouldn't represent that much of an overhead.
What I can say so far is that the game does take a long time to launch, probably due to the need to "start" a Windows environment. Once the game loads, however, everything is quite smooth and "snappy." In fact, it feels better than any game I have played in a long time, including the titles from id.
I am running the game at my display's native resolution (1680 X 1050), and I have most of the values at their highest setting. In other words, I am demanding a lot. And, the game seems to be delivering. There are certainly no lags in response from the in-game GUI. Only once have I noticed things actually slow down, and that was associated with action from a flame tank. I'm going to keep an eye on this one (I have only encountered that single flame tank at this point in the game); this could have been a fluke, it could be a hole in the graphics translation (which would potentially get fixed), or it could be an inherent problem. This last I think is the least likely, since it just doesn't fit with the rest of the experience I'm having.
Again, I have to say that the "feel" of this game's elements is just much smoother than what I am used to. From the moment the EA splash animation begins, there is a sense of "rightness" about it all that has been absent from any other game I've seen (and I've played many ports of EA titles). Keep in mind that I'm running this game on a Core Duo MBP, not a Core 2 Duo.
It will be interesting to see how this all pans out, as more games are released and the "kinks" get worked out.

Curious about the MMS

I actually prefer pictures through email, but since i will be getting the MMS eventually, i was just curious about how the pictures are seen. I see in examples on apple's website that it appears in the text messaging field and its little. i am assuming you can make the picture bigger and save it as a bigger picture...yes? no?...i realize americans can't answer this but perhaps citizens of other countries that already have it can shed a light on it. silly question i know, but i'm at work and i'm bored

I'm guessing you don't have AT&T?
I removed the iPhone Text Message plan and added the regular 1500 Message plan via AT&T's website and I was only able to send a few text messages before it stopped working. It's funny how AT&T will purposely keep you from sending MMS messages despite the fact that the phone is capable of sending them. I mean it's not as if I'm stealing from them, the plan I have states that I can send MMS messages and yet as soon as they see that I'm trying to use an iPhone to send them they block it?

Curious about the iOS 5 software that is coming out. If I wait til its release to buy my iPhone 4 will it come with the iOS5 software already on it? or should I go ahead and buy my iPhone 4 and then update the software when the iOS5 is released?

Yea I would have to say wait until the release of IOS 5, because the phone will probably run it a lot smoother. I mean go ahead and buy the Iphone 4 if you are dying to have it, because you can just update it which is no big deal at all, but it would be the smarter thing to wait for the new updates.
And the networ issue as far as I am aware is fixed on the Verizon iPhones, so it really depends on which service you have.
- correct me if i am wrong
Have to disagree here, Apple have not even announced an iphone 5, it is pointless to speculate that we will see one or not see one until Apple actually releases a statement. ios was built and tested on the iphone 4 so there will not be any slowdown or laggyness compared to a phone that has not been released yet.
If we are advising potential apple product buyers then we should not be putting them off buying a iphone 4 on speculations alone. Just because apple have for the last few years released an iphone every june/july does not mean then have to stick to this approach.
Apple have not issued any statement regarding an iphone 5, until this time it does not exist, only in heresay on the internet.
Any one looking to get an iphone 4, to you i would say waiting until ios 5 is released is a personal choice, no matter if you wait or not you will be able to update via itunes. One way or another in the future you will have to do an ios update via itunes whether this is the 5.0 software or 5,2,1.
Please note that Apple are very closed mouthed about new hardware releases and potentially a new iphone could be round the corner, however there is no evidence to suggerst this, i.e Apple have not even mentioned an iphone 5 this year anything you hear towards the contrary is media spin thus far and speculation.
ios 5 was built and tested to work seamlessly on iphone 4, the beta software released to developers is being tested on iphone 4. Please do not listen to people telling you that the iphone 4 will not run this ios as well as a phone that does not exist yet. When iphone 5 launches it will most likely have dual processors and not until its launch will the next gen apps start appearing.

Will play count and playhead position sync back to iTunes?

I have a bunch of smart playlists that contain all the unplayed episodes of my favorite podcasts. If I drag these onto the Shuffle, will the play count and playhead position from my Shuffle sync back to iTunes?
It seems like the answer is no -- this is really a one-way copy to the Shuffle, and not a "sync".

The iPod shuffle is supposed to maintain a "played" flag for played tracks. I don't know if podcasts will work the same way as normal tracks, but I can't think of a good reason why they wouldn't. Having said that, after the iTunes 8.1 update, my shuffle's marking the wrong tracks as "played" and leaving the actually played tracks unmarked, so until the iTunes team comes up with a fix for all the bugs they introduced in that update, anything goes.

Is there a way to maintain synchronization of slide display and playhead position?

Hi, I'm working with Captivate 5 and I'm trying to add some highlights to various features in a full motion recording (FMR). Frustratingly, while I can preview the recording by dragging the playhead through the timeline, when I release the playhead, the display jumps back to the beginning of the FMR. The playhead stays in its current position, but the slide shows me the start of the recording, not the image I'd been viewing moments before when dragging the playhead.
Is there some way to force Captivate to display the actual image related to the current playhead position? It's really frustrating to try to position highlights when I can't see where I'd like them to go. :/
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's a workaround, but what I do is publish the movie, pause it at the point where everything is present on the slide that I want to highlight, take a screenshot using SnagIt, then add this screenshot to the movie slide where I have my FMV recording. I place it at the top level but untick the Visible box in Properties for this image so that it won't show up at runtime. I use this image to line up my highlight boxes and then just hide it on the Edit view of the slide so that it's not getting in the road.
This only takes a couple of minutes to do and allows me to line up my highlight boxes perfectly, saving a lot of time.

How do i get an externally loaded movie clip to inherit the playhead position of the main timeline?

Hi Flash experts, i'm hoping that someone can help me with this annoying problem.....
I have been approached to design a configurator for a new television product. The Application will let users specify the colours of certain parts of the product and also attach addons, which then updates a cost total.
In the main interface i have a looping animation of the product slowly rotating around 360 degrees that i rendered in 3ds max. When a user clicks a button on the interface i need to load an external movieclip on top of the main animation so it looks as though a certain part has changed colour, this i have acheived. The problem is that when i load the external clip over the original, the loaded clip starts playing from frame 1 and i need it to inherit the playhead position of the main animation so the two layered pieces look as though they are rotating as one. I'm sure this must be possible, unless i need to approach the problem in a different way?
I hope this makes sense,
Any help on this subject would be hugely appreciated.
Many Thanks
Matt

Hi again Ned,
I've almost got it i think, my code now looks like this....
on (release) {
         var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
         loader.loadClip("Bezel/Bezel_Red/Bezel_Red.swf",Empty_MC);
         var loadListener:Object = new Object();
         loader.addListener(loadListener);
         loadListener.onLoadComplete = function() {
         Empty_MC.gotoAndPlay(_root._currentframe);
This code loads the external clip fine and i know the onLoadComplete listener is working because if i change the last line to: Empty_MC.gotoAndStop(1);
it works. I think its just that last line: Empty_MC.gotoAndPlay(_root._currentframe); that is causing the problem?
Many Thanks for all your help, it is greatly appreciated
Matt

Can clips retain last playhead position and in and out points like v7?

Is there a setting that will enable the clips to retain the last playhead position and in and out points so that I don't have to find the place I left off at every time I go to that Clip? Basically how FCP 7 worked.
Vince

This is another area that's lacking in this great application, I'm afraid - but there are ways to keep the 'in and out' points at least.
When you have marked them you simply press 'F' to mark your selection as a favourite. Then if you click the green bar that appears, your selection will immediately be highlighted.
Alternatively, add keywords to your selection - then when you click the keyword collection in the event browser, the clips will be displayed, already trimmed.
A third way is to trim away the unwnated footage in your clip. Lets say you have a long clip and you want to make multiple clips from it. You don't want the first three seconds of the clip and you also don't want the last one second . . . (follow this carefully - it works)!
Move the playhead to your IN point and press the 'O' key (yes the 'O' key).
Now press the backspace key and your clip is trimmed to the 'in' point. Now scroll to the out point and press the 'I' key (that's right). Move the playhead to the 'in' point of your next clip and press 'O'.
Press Backspace and your clip stands on its own for all time.
(You can even mark one frame 'Out' and the very next frame 'In' and this will work - you don't lose any frames).
Sorry I can't help you with retaining the playhead position.
Andy
