Displaying or projecting your project onto a TV screen

I want to display my Keynote projects on a large flat screen TV and operate the project from my lap top.
How can the project be displayed on the screen?
Does this require additional hardware?
Can this be done using the Apple TV hardware?
Does anyone know of a tutorial or a book which would explain this procedure?

What format video inputs does the flat-screen TV have?
IF it is a HDTV with HDMI input, all you need is a cable that connects from the DVI/D connector on your computer to the HDMI connector on the TV. Otherwise, you will need an appropriate interface from your computer to the TV. Check with your local Apple store for more information about this.
Once your TV is connected properly to the video output of your computer, go to System Preferences/Displays menu and check the button: Detect Displays. This will put a window onto both the displays (your computer and the TV) wherein you can select the proper settings for each. (Default settings likely will be highlighted already.) This also should show your desktop pattern on both displays. (If you want, you also can go to the System Preferences/Desktop and Screen Saver menu. Here you can change the arrangement of the two displays and select a desktop pattern for each. The display with the menu bar across the top will be your Primary display; normally, this should be your computer screen.)
Then, in Keynote, go to the Keynote Preferences/Slideshow menu and checkmark the button: Present on Secondary Display; this will put your slideshow on the TV screen. Finally, go to Keynote Preferences/Presenter Display menu and checkmark the button: Use Alternate Display to show Presenter Information; this will put the Presenter Display on your computer screen.
Good Luck.

How did Steve Jobs project his iPad onto the big screen?

Steve did it. Why can't we? I understand that Apple's Component AV cable will only play video files on my TV from my iPad, but I would like to demonstrate all the iPad's features to an audience like Jobs did. Any clues, anybody? Thanks.

Mr. Holton is correct: Steve Jobs has specially modified units when he does a presentation on an iPhone or iPad. At this time the only way to project the iPad's interface and most applications would be to use something like a document camera.

Pause / Resume button combination not working when set to display for "rest of project"

Good day,
I have created a set of four objects on slide2 of my project
1. Smart Object rounded rectangle with text "(playing) - CLICK to Pause" [this is the graphic the user sees]
2. Smart Object rounded rectangle with text "(paused) - CLICK to Resume" [this is the graphic the user sees]
3. Smart Object rectangle, transparent, used as button, set to not display in project - btn_Resume
4. Smart Object rectangle, transparent, used as button - btn_Pause
A. Script assigned to btn_Pause hides btn_Pause and the "CLICK to Pause" graphic, shows the btn_Resume and "CLICK to Resume" graphic, and pauses the project by setting the system pause variable to 1
B. Script assigned to btn_Resume hides btn_Resume and the "CLICK to Resume" graphic, shows the btn_Pause and "CLICK to Pause" graphic, and resumes the project by setting the system resume variable to 1
C. All items are set to display from the beginning of slide2 for the "rest of project"
On slide 2, the buttons hide/show and pause/resume behaviors work correctly.
On slide 3, the correct initial button and graphic appears, and the click sound works when clicked, but no behaviors (show/hide/pause) occur until a good amount of time into the slide: you can click all you want for 20-30 seconds, but nothing works except the click sound. Eventually, the behavior will work.
On slides 4 and following, the correct initial button and graphic appears, and the click sound works when clicked, but no behaviors EVER work.
If the behaviors NEVER, EVER worked, I would keep looking for what I did not have set correctly, but the correct working on the slide where they are set, delayed behavior on the next, and no behavior on the remainder of slides following has me stumped.
Captivate version 6.0.1.240
Windows 7 OS
I hope I'm missing something obvious here, and I'm more than willing to face-palm if you tell me . Otherwise, I have not been able to find any setting that makes any difference. I would REALLY rather not duplicate the buttons and scripts on every page of the project. Given the blog posts I have seen saying this method should work just fine, I'm hoping there is a side quirk somewhere that I'm missing.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Without clouding with too much explanation, this technique arose out of a need to deal with (in a different project) objects that were grouped, and wanting to deal with the groups in as simple a way as possible, allow for easy swapping of group assets, and having a few buttons do multiple things. The idea of being able to have multiple interactive buttons stacked on top of each other while appearing for the rest of the project led to trying this simple construct before trying something more complex.
You are correct, that there is a simpler solution, which we ended up using because we were not able to get two interactive buttons stacked on top of each other while displayed for the rest of the project to work properly (although that is SUPPOSED to work, as far as I understand).
Here's what we ended up doing:
A) Two smartshapes used as messaging graphics
B) A single (one) interactive smartshape used as a button
C) A conditional action to pause/resume and show/hide the appropriate messaging graphics
D) All three objects (A&B) stacked, B on top.
E) All objects set to always appear on top, and to display for rest of project.
Our hypothesis, then, is that you are not able to stack interactive objects on top of each other and then display for the rest of the project.
If anyone has evidence to the contrary, we would, gladly, take a look.
Thanks for your interest Lilybiri, and for your input.
Best regards,
Hank

RH8 Merged project child project displaying in a separate window

Hi Everyone,
Today I created a brand new merged project in RH8 using webhelp format. Both the parent and child projects were created from scratch.
When I displayed the finished merged project and clicked on the child project in the help TOC the child project displayed in a separate window!!
Please can someone advise ...
How do I configure this so the child project displays in the same window as the parent?

Peter,
Many thanks for your suggestions.
I tested the sample project again, it was actually from one of our customers whose browser security settings are fixed. The problem was caused by IE7 internet browser security settings. Once blocked content was permitted everthing displayed in the same window.
This is a relief as all other settings were what I normally used and these always worked.

Upgrade to Robohelp 9: Your project file cpd is corrupt

Hi
I have installed Robohelp 9, and is now trying to upgrade a version 6 project to version 9. When I press upgrade in Robohelp, I keep getting the error "Your project file ...cpd is corrupt and cannot be opened". I have tried to delete it and open the xpj-file again, but there is no difference. Then I found something about a file called rhvariable.apj. I copied this file from a project that I already have upgraded and which were fine. But this gave no solution either. I also read something about deleting the cpd-file and the xpj-file and then edit the hhp-file. The problem is that my corrupt projects - I have 3 at this point - have no hhp-file. So there is a difference.
Could anyone help me? I have search and search
Best regards
Else

In case this helps anyone I will share my experience...
I've been waiting ages for the purchase order to go through for my new license for the latest version of RoboHelp. My Help project was in version 6. I had on one PC a trial download of RH 8 and on my other PC a trial download of version 9. (I work in IT hence the multiple PCs)
So, just a couple of days ago, I tried bringing in my v.6 project into v.9. I got the cpd file corrupt error and I tried deleting it several times. I even tried re-copying it in, etc. Nothing worked. I was annoyed....so just to try something I opened up my trial v.8 and loaded in my old project and it upgraded fine with no problems. I took this upgraded project and brought it into v.9 and, lo and behold, it worked! (Both being trial versions and just yesterday I got my v. 9 license key and registered with no issues)
I am up and running and everything looks great and I've generated and started playing around with all of the new features I am unfamiliar with...having been stuck with v.6 for so long!
Hope this helps someone....
thanks,
liz

Can you create a new comp from a clip after you already have one in your project?

I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that clip down to the timeline panel, After Effects will create a new composition based off of the specs of the clip, which is exactly as long as the clip. Is there a way to do this after you have already created one composition in your project?
I've tried it and it just wants to add the clip to an already opened composition or if you close all the compositions, it wants to add it to the render queue.

> I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that

composition based off of the specs of the clip
Actually, that's not quite right. To create a new composition with settings that match those of the footage item, you drag the footage item to the Create A New Compsotion button at the bottom of the Project panel. See "Create a composition".
If you drag a footage item from the Project panel to the Timeline panel for an already existing composition, then you are telling After Effects to create a new layer based on that footage item inside the existing composition.
If you drag a footage item to the Render Queue panel, then After Effects creates a new composition from the footage item and immediately adds that composition to the render queue.

How can you tell if a file is being used in your project or not?

How can you tell if a file in your bin is being used in your project or not? My director dragged hundreds of reference files into my project and only used a few of them. I'd like to do some house cleaning and delete the ones that are not in use. This project file has 100 sequences in it, so it would be a tough manual hunt to figure this out.
In Premiere Pro (or Flash for example), where all the information is in the Project Bin such as in/out times and duration, there is where it tells you how many times that piece of media has been used or if it hasn't been used yet.
Can FCP tell me this info?
Thanks for yout time!
-Monty

Monty,
Within FCP, there is a menu item called "Media Manager" (depending on what version you are in). This would be worth your while to look into. It basically organizes your project by moving/archiving any used assets of a project and leaving out un-used assets. It saves a ton of disk space.
For example, say you have a 5 minute clip with an in/out point that is just 30 seconds. Media Manager will "archive" just that 30 seconds, not the entire clip. There is even a setting that you can add additional "handles" time to the front andd back of the clip if you think you may need to add or change transition.
Do a google search. I was just watching a few Youtube videos on this myself.

What does "Error 10" mean? "An error occurred while loading your project. 10"

Does anyone know what "Error 10" means? For the first time, I'm getting a message that says, "An error occurred while loading your project. 10". I'm getting this message when I try to open a project that I created yesterday.
I'm using Adobe Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine. I have over 20 gigs of open space on the drive with all the project and support files. And this machine with 2 gigs of RAM never has a problem opening other similar Premeire project files with even more still images plugged in.
All of my Premiere project files have always opened with no problem. A similar file that this project file was created from with all the same base elements still opens with no problem.
This file almost finishes the "Loading Project - checking files..." process, but then I get the error message.
I had also saved a duplicate backup file for the project in question and it will not open either, so I believe that rules out a corrupt file... it is only this one project that I created yesterday that will not open. This project file is only about 5.7 megabytes in size.
This file has many still images plugged in to it, but all the same images are plugged in to another base file that still opens correctly.
I've also tried closing all other apps to save memory but I still get the error. I've also tried opening this problem file from within the application and I still get the same error message.
I read some troubleshooting information on the Adobe website about files that give error messages that will not open and it recommended adjusting the size of the virtual memory paging file in the system settings to twice the amount of RAM that is installed instead of being on the automatic setting, so I followed the instruction verbatim and restarted my machine and I still get the error message.
I've also read other troubleshooting info on the Adobe site that recommends to "delete the application preferences file" and "recreate the plugin cache file", but I'm not sure if "Error 10" indicates that those things are the correct procedures to use.
I could re-create this project file, but it has many tricky cutting and motion setting edits that will be difficult to reproduce and it took me a full day to create this project file.
Also, yesterday before initially closing this file, I was able to successfully render a test version to an AVI file and that video file plays fine, but neither the original project file nor the duplicate will open... I'm always getting the "An error occurred while loading your project. 10" after the file almost finishes the "Loading Project - checking files..." process... it almost finishes opening but then I get the error message.
Thanks for any input on this problem. You can see the error message screenshot below.

Thanks Bill... me too.
After writing to Dennis Radeke on an Adobe.com blog about this and getting his very limited response, I wrote to him quoting something I read on the wiki page that you sent me the link to...
Adobe blog:
http://http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html#co mment-2701
Wiki page link that you gave me:
http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:How_do_I_recover_a_corrupt_project%3F
Here's what my response today was...
Thanks for your reply DR.
My old version of Premiere 6 works perfectly on Windows 7. I’ve created over a thousand different Premiere project files on this 5 year-old PC that was updated to Windows 7 last year.
All of my other Premiere 6 files open and maintain their original editability and all the features in this ancient version of Premiere work very well.
I own and use mostly Mac machines but I have one 5 year-old PC with a 160 gig hard drive with Windows 7 that I run Premiere 6 on because it’s a thousand dollar program that I had from 10 years ago that I didn’t want to repurchase. Buying a newer PC 5 years ago was far less expensive than buying a new copy of Premiere. Some people seem to think, “Wow, just buy a new version of the software for a thousand dollars and a new computer with a 5 Terabyte hard drive.”, but that isn’t always the reality of some peoples financial situation.
With 20 gigs of open HD space, all of my previous, even more complex Premiere 6 files still open and edit just fine. It is only this one file that I created Thursday that won’t re-open after closing it for the first time. Since the backup copy of that file won’t open either, and all the support files open, play and work in other previous project files, I’m thinking that there is some glitch that happened when saving this file that is corrupting it now, making it unable to be re-opened.
Based on prior advice on multiple topics about Premiere 6 from people on the Adobe forum who use only newer versions of Premiere, most information that applies to the brand new Premiere Pro CS5 still seems to apply to the old Premiere 6.
I found that holding down Shift-Option while opening Premiere 6 trashes the preferences file. This became my work around since I can’t locate the preferences file based on your path noted (in your blog) nor via the other prefs file path published on the Adobe website.
But unfortunately, trashing the prefs file, resetting the plugin cache file, increasing the virtual memory paging file size, importing the problem project file in to a new project, nor anything else is working to allow this file to open.
Now I’m looking in to XML:Wrench to see if that can find the corruption in this file, but I’ve had a malware warning from one download source and the xmlwrench.com website says their download is only a demo version, but no price is listed… this seems somewhat strange and possibly deceptive.
But I read something on an Premiere Pro wiki page , quoted below, at this URL, that seems to be pertinent, and though my version of Premiere may be ancient, it seems that, according to this user’s concerns, Adobe is still having problems with current versions of Adobe software creating corrupt files…
http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:How_do_I_recover_a_corrupt_project%3F
QUOTE:
“Can someone please advise – why on EARTH we should have to download XML Wrench and manually fix a corrupt Adobe project??? This is something common to all the Adobe “Support” forums on issues like this, and the many others that plague Adobe’s product (and I’m not being a mindless troll – I’ve been forced to use it for years so I do know the usability and other issues it has): it seems that people are excited because they’ve found a “fix” (which is more like a work-around) – purely because they’re understandably ecstatic that all their hard work isn’t comPLETEly lost.
However, Adobe should be making sure their product isn’t so buggy! This issue should be fixed (as just one example). Adobe should be finding out what causes the corruption in the first place and fixing it. And whether it’s some other codec on the system that’s caused it is no excuse – their software should have better error management built into it. I’ve seen other issues where an Adobe support representative has happily replied: “oh, that’s a known issue since version [3 versions back] – don’t worry, most users are aware of the work around for it: just select and move all of the items in your timeline each time you open the project and you’ll be fine!”
I’m sorry to rant on – but can some other users please explain the above to me? (i.e. why aren’t more people annoyed about this and complaining to Adobe to fix these things).”
UNQUOTE
All of this coming from an experienced user of Adobe products complaining about needing XML:Wrench to fix corrupt Adobe files seems relevant.
In addition, why does no one, including the Adobe knowledge base, have any info about what “An error occurred while loading your project. 10″ means?… why isn’t there a database that identifies Adobe error numbers by the simple number itself? The only info I was able to find identifying “Error 10″ on the Adobe site was a software installation error, not a project loading error.
Now I find myself chasing a clean download of XML:Wrench in order to hopefully fix this corrupt file. Whether I’m using Premiere 6 on a 160 gig hard drive with 20 gigs of open space or Premiere Pro CS5 on a 5 Terabyte hard drive with 3 Terabytes of open space, the problems, according to other users, seem to be the same as ever with corrupt Adobe Premiere files, based on what I’ve been reading across the internet.

How do you move changes from your project developments into the maintenance development system?

Good day colleagues.
We are in the process of introducing retrofit, and the picture is clear for us, generally speaking, to retrofit the project landscape with the changes done in the maintenance landscape.
What about the other way around? We mean, when the project is set to Go Live, we understand the transports will be all added, e.g. to the Production System buffer to be moved there via Maintenance Cycle, based on the way we defined the project and the logical component being used.
However, how do you feed those project transports to your Maintenance Development System using ChaRM? or do you do that Manually? We doubt. Copying Production back into Development? no way !!!
How do you establish that? We have a sort of idea but the documents about retrofit only seem to talk about moving transports one way, as far as we have found.
Many thanks for any feedback.
Juan Carlos

Hi Piyush.
I apologize for a late close on this questioning about moving projects back into the maintenance stream.
Basically there are 2 solutions as far as we know:
1. What Vivek mentions, which is performing a cutover and repacking the project transports into 2 transports in the maintenance stream: A workbench and a customizing.   In that sense, at the end of the day you end up moving just 2 transports to the maintenance stream up to Production.   They contain all your project objects. Thanks to Vivek, again.
This is a very practical and interesting approach. The only reason we did not adopt it, is based on the fact that if by any chance we encounter an issue with a project transport object in the maintenance stream (Dev or QA), now that all is bundled together, we may be stuck right at the time weare getting ready to GoLive. How tough is going to be that issue? how easy and quick to fix?how much would that affect the whole project time frame?   Those questions made us decide to option 2.
2. What we are doing is that at cutover we move at the same time all project transports to the transport buffer of each of the maintenance stream systems (Dev, QA, and Prod).   We first open the gate to move the transports to Dev and we test, then to QA and we test, as well. If there may be an issue, and the issue can not be quickly resolved by the project team, we can go up to the extreme of using a new feature introduced in ChaRM in SP10, if we are not wrong, but definitely available in SP12. That feature provides a way to selectively decide which transports of the release are to Go Live and which ones do not, although we have no had to use that feature, yet, but it is there.
We do not see any risk on adding the transports to the maintenance buffers at the same time. There are ways to control the systems that are open for receiving transports, and the project phases, which guarantees no room for error. There have to be deliberate actions taken (more than one in our case), to wrongly move a project to GoLive before its time comes.
That is more or less the scenario Piyush.
Hope that explains the scenario. So far no decision on really publishing as a blog. It seems not to be written on stone, as consulting with different companies, each adds its own flavor to the recipe and shuffle ideas to get to what they are looking for and makes them happy.

How do you plan your project?

I'm thinking of recommending Captivate 3 to a client who does
live training sessions for hospital workers, and has had no online
options until now.
I have a basic understanding of how the program works, but
how do you begin brainstorming and planning your project? Once you
determine the audience's needs and your goals, do you draw a
schematic diagram on paper, actually develop the content and
interactions within the program, or....?

The view (and actions) taken by Phillip's firm are more and
more the "standard" or "best practice" of professional Captivate
developers. Small "bite sized" learning pieces make the act of
checking a specific task quick and easy for the end-student-user.
As an instructor, I put a lot of emphasis on storyboarding.
Paper and pencil works best for me as the first step, but "Word" is
then used as the next step in creating a script prior to starting
to record in Captivate.
In summary, creating short, precise Captivate projects
from a storyboard and written script is the best way to
build effective eLearning objects, as well as the most effective
method for quick and easy (easier) editing for the developer
(especially when changes are needed "post-production") - it is just
best for everyone.

When attempting to edit a project in the PWA I receive the error: 'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again...' Project Server 2013

Hello,
I am hoping someone can assist with the error we are encountering when trying to edit a project from the PWA in Project Server 2013. I can click on the project name and go to the detail page and I can
click and see the schedule. However, if I click on a task in the schedule and attempt to edit it, I receive the following error:
'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.'
At this point I must click cancel twice to get rid of the error pop-up message. At this point, I am no longer able to look
at the schedule of the project either. Can someone assist with this issue?
Thanks

How to display Issues for the projects which user can view in the Project Center View

Hello All,
In the project center view, at the bottom, we need to add one table, which can show the Issues for the projects that are displayed in the project center view.(Projects visible to the current user).
Example: A resource 1 can see the Projects Project 1, Project 2,Project 3 in the project center view. So resource 1 should be able to see all the issues that are entered against the Project 1, Project 2, Project 3, irrespective of the issue that has
been assigned to any resource.
Please help.

Hi,
You could simply edit the page and add the risks and issues webparts. This will display risks and issues assigned to the user.
Click on edit page, then add webpart. In the Project We App section, pick up the risk webpart and then the issue webpart. Finally drag them to the bottom of the page and close the page.
Hope this helps,

Book marking your project

hello, Is there a method of creating some kind of book mark or snapshot of your project at certain a time when your code is working,such that you can return to; should you mess up your code and forget where you were at the last time your code actually worked?!!. Ideally a feature in the xcode IDE as opposed to doing a 'save as' or some kind of back-up of your computer?

What version of Xcode are you using? Xcode 3 and 4 both support snapshots.
In Xcode 4 choose File > Create Snapshot to create a snapshot. In Xcode 3 choose File > Make Snapshot to create a snapshot.
Accessing your snapshots is where Xcode 3 and 4 differ. In Xcode 4 open the Organizer and click the Projects button at the top of the Organizer. Select a project from the project list to examine the snapshots. In Xcode 3 choose File > Snapshots to access a project's snapshots.

LabView and Perforce renaming a vi in your project

Hi All
Im using Perforce as our SCC and I've integrated it into LabVIEW, all OK but I have a concern that hopefully someone can shed some light on.
If you use Perforce you will be awars that if you check out a directory then from File Explorer delete or rename a file then Perforce is not forgiving and will not continue untill you give it back the file that you checked out. Fair enough and to do such opperations you should work within the Perforce Client.
However I would have expected that when you tell labVIEW that perforce id your SCC and within the Project manager you rename a file for the obvious reason that you want vi and control linkages to remap, that LabVIEW would execute the correct series of commands to perforce to tell it that the file has been renamed. Because when you go to check in your project folder Perforce wants that original file.
Has anyone experienced this and knows a workarround?
Cheers
Kurt

I use SVN and you can re-link the files. With the Tortoise front end it's as easy as selecting both files and saying that it was renamed. That way you keep the history intact. Maybe you can do something to that effect?
