Dynamically add a fade in/out transition to a caption when "showing" it from an Action?

I have a conditional action set up where if things are not correct (text input in two entry fields), I show feedback in a caption box. I figured out how to set the caption box to be initially invisible (via unchecking the Visible checkbox for the caption's properties), and how to show it when this condition occurs. But I 'd like it to also do the traditionall transition of fade in & out when I show it fromt he action. My Advanced Action is executed when the user clicks an "OK" button.
Any thoughts or advice?

Yes. Plenty of media on either end. The good news is that trashing the permissions and repairing worked.
BUT I have a question while these great minds are assembled...When repairing disk permissions the Utility says that to repair permissions on startup disk, start using my OSX install disk, which in my case is the the CD that came with my powerbook. When I tried to startup using that CD, holding down the "c" key on startup, it went into install mode. I told it I did not want to install, set the startup disk as the CD again, and kept looping around in this manner. I am probably missing a step...First question:
1) Is it in fact necessary to start up from this CD in order to properly repair permissions?
2) If yes, how do I get away from the install mode and to the disk utility, once the installer pops up.
Thanks in advance. You guys are lifesavers once again.

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

Fade In/Out Transition

Is there a place that I can buy/download a good smooth Fade
In/Out
Transition for Authorware? The Fade In transition that comes
with Authorware
just brings on big squares of the image at a time, and i'm
looking for
something that actually fades a graphic in/out instead.
Thanks,

DMTools has a really good one but the company is not too
responsive with
their support. They protect their Xtras by linking them to
your Authorware
serial number. That means that when you upgrade Authorware
versions you have
to request a new Xtra and registration number from them.
That's when the fun
begins. They got back to me eventually...but it took many
weeks of trying.
Because of their protection method, I'd be concerned with
creating pieces
with their Xtras in which I may have to go back and swap out
all the
transitions because DMTools didnt follow-up with a version of
their Xtra
that worked with a new version of Authorware.... But how
likely is that now
anyway? You know, now that I think about it, I'd gladly
replace out all
their transitions in exisitng pieces if we could only get a
new version of
Authorware :-)

Add a fade-to-black transition in the slide show

This quickly fades an image to black before quickly fading-in the next image. This avoids double-image effects during image transitions, and still gives a nice smooth fading effect. Double images are particularly distracting when two contiguous images are only slightly different a common situation in photo shoots.
-Jonathan Ley

Welcome to the forum
Select the final slide and change the transition to "none" in the transition drop down menu

Can I add a sound to a transition in a Keynote slide show?

I understand how to add sound to a slide, but I want the sound to play during the transition. Can I do that?

That particular feature is not supported in Keynote. If you would like to let the folks at Apple know of your needs, send them some feedback:

I downloaded Lion on my iMac. It apparently cleaned out the hard drive. Nothing shows up from before. It looks like a brand new computer. It is backed up on Time machine. Any idea of why this happened and suggestions on restoring? Thanks.

I downloaded Lion on my 4 yr old iMac. The download stalled at the last minute so I clicked "CANCEL". When it was restarted, Lion was there, with no apparent option but to go ahead and install so I assumed it was okay. Didn't transfer data from "another computer" when prompted - assumed it would transfer from that computer. It apparently cleaned out the hard drive. It looks like a brand new computer. None of my apps, programs, files, or thousands of photos.   It is backed up on Time machine, but it's a sickening sight. Any idea why this happened and suggestions before restoring? Thanks.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

How to Dynamically add Search Criteria in Advance Search Region.

Hi All,
I want to understand how can we add Search Criteria dynamically in the Advance Search Region.
The Requirement is to add 4 additional search criteria for an org_id in a multi org structure. For other business those fields should not be visible.
I did try this with the form personalization but could not Show/hide the additional search criteria programatically for the business as we can only see 4 search criteria at the time of page load and other criteria comes in the drop down list to add which can not be show/hide after page load.
I thought of a solution to add search criterias dynamically for my org through extending controller.
I found the OAAdvanceSearchBean (advance search Region in controller) object for my Advance Search but could you tell me how can I add the Criteria Row in that Advance Search (createWebBean function) and then add the item in criteria Row dynamically.
Also please tell me how we can increase the showed criteria from default 4 to more, setDisplayedCriteriaCount(int) is not allowed and it is not working also.
Thanks.
Regards,
Ashish Bansal

Hi,
As Lars said The "Search Option Set" and the "Search Component Set" offer you quite some flexibility.
You can configure both of these component to customize your search.
Once you did it, you can create a new basic search iview and set these components.
On the other hand, you also customize the layout use to show result of search.
Dont'f forget that you need to configure Trex and create an index.
For instance, I configured the search criteria, the system only asked me some metadatas (created by us,whose value are dependents). Each time that you upload a document you set these attributes.
Then when you want to search, appear a screen with these values
Country :
City:
search field:
Patricio.

Audio distorted during fade in/fade out transitions

I'm using iMovie HD to edit an MP4 file. I've put fade in/fade out transitions at the beginning and end of the movie, but I notice that it either garbles the audio during these transitions or adds a loud clicking noise in place of the audio that should be there (i.e., the original audio fading in or out.)
Has anyone experienced this? Any idea how to work around the problem?
Thanks.

Maybe it is this?

Switching off the fade in/fade out transition when viewing previews

In Library mode, when I'm switching between all my photos, there is a fade in fade out transition as it switches to the next photo. Can I get rid of this transition? I would like to just switch to the next photo without any fancy transition. Possible?

On my Mac version of Lr (4.1) I can't see any such "fade-in/out" effect. Going from one image to the next is pretty much instantaneous.
Sadly, that's about the only thing in Lr 4 that is instantaneous for me.

Help with transitions and fade in / out

I need help. I need some kind and infinitely patient personto explain, step by step, in simple words of less that one syllable how I can fade in my movie and how I can apply transitions between the clips.
I’ve tried, oh have I tried. I’ve read the manual, I’ve watched three video’s on youtube (they were bad!), found a lot of quality online help but I still don’t get it.
What I do get is random results. Like my movie fades in once then it won’t do it again. Like I get the grey transition box but can’t extend the transition beyond0.1 of a second. Like I trim my movie and the transition removes the trim. And so on.
So if some kind soul could help, or even point me in the direction of transitions made simple I’d appreciate it.
Many thanks.

Is there a simple fade in/fade out transition?

In Final Cut X, I don't see a simple fade in or fade out transition. Am I missing it? I've recreated it using Fade to Color (black) then adjusting the audio. But seems more complicated than it needs to be.

A very simple way (with full control) is:
Select the clip in the storyline, press Ctrl+V to open up a Video Animation box above the clip.
Click the dark rectangle to the right of the Opacity bar to enlarge it.
Near the top of the box is a thin black opacity control line.
Click the right end of the line, and drag to the left to create a fade-out.
(Click the left end and drag to the right to fade-in).

How do I add a before and after transition to a standalone clip in the second or other than primary stack?

New to FCPX on a project this weekend. I have gotten reasonably comfortable with the basic features but one thing that I CANNOT figure out, is how (what used to be) selecting a track in the timeline to activate it to apply a transition. I need to select a video clip which stands alone in the stack which is positioned above the primary track and add a blend transition before and after the clip. I have set the opacity to blend with the images in the primary track below but the beginning and end of the clip in the second stack do not fall at the transition points in the lower track which should not matter anyway. I can’t find it in Help or the third party tutorials that I purchased and completed. Thanks for your help!

Tom gave you the answer. As a follow-on you can then use the Cross Dissolve transition on your newly converted connected clip. This transition will allow it to dissolve smoothly into the video below it. Note that the Fade to Black transition will take both that clip and the video below it to black which would probably be undesirable. Use Cross Dissolve instead. Best wishes.

Fade Through Black Transition Not Displaying Properly

Greetings all. I have imported my movie clips into iMovie '08. Each of the clips plays fine by themselves as well as when edited and combined in my project. The problem arrises when I try to add a Fade Through Black (or any transition for that matter) between the clips. Since the transition I'm interested in is the Fade Through Black that's the one I'm going to continue to reference as my transition. When I scrub the cursor across the transition it displays perfectly in the preview window. However, when I try to play the movie it doesn't fade to black it just jumps to black, and doesn't come out of black for several seconds (much longer than my duration). Any suggestions on what to try would be most appreciated. Thank you and have a good night.

This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
You'll need to reset some Preferences.

No.
To add crossfades or fade in/outs to multiple audio regions, you must do it from the fade parameter box, either entering numerically, or by clicking and dragging on the numeric value.
