Easiest way to create transitions and fade a music track?

Hi, now that I'm up and running, I'm wondering what the easiest way is to create TRANSITIONS (I couldn't seem to find them as advertised in "View Movie Properties/options")?
Also, does anyone know how to FADE OUT an added audio/music track? Is it possible?
thanks very much,
Dave P.

I ALMOST found the answer to my own question at:
http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/quicktimeintro/tools/makeeffectmovie.html
However, it doesn't quite seem to work for me. The qfx file created doesn't seem to be "recognized as a movie file".
any suggestions???
Fading a music track, I'm afraid, seems impossible (in this unfortunately not-too-powerful program).
thanks,

Easiest way to create h2s and h3s in Robohelp 8

I've created my toc book in RoboHelp 8, but having a tough time determining how to drill down
in the topic further than an H2 - I would like to create H3's - but not having luck yet......
How do you do this?

Hi there
I have no clue as to how Help Studio works. It seems many of the Help Authoring Tools (HAT) out there operate in different ways.
In RoboHelp, we have individual HTML pages. Each of these is known as a Topic. You also have a Table of Contents (TOC). You may have RoboHelp build one for you or you may build it yourself. You do either using the Table of Contents pod. The Table of Contents is represented by Books and Pages. Think of these as you would a Web Page. They are simply links to the HTML Topic pages.
Does that help any?
Cheers... Rick

What is the Easiest way to create a playlist?

What is the easiest way to create a playlist without going through all 1500 in my iTunes? I know some artists I want all their songs.......others I don't.

I have WMP on my computer and know you can quite easily make playlists within it.
Then if you connect your player to the computer and drag and drop the playlist into the sync
screen you should then be able to transfer it to the player.
Not tried this way as I always use Zen Media Explorer for making playlists.
Gi've it a try-you have nothing to lose.
Best of Luck

Subject: What is the easiest ways to create motion menus in Encore CS5 w/ After Effects CS5
The first link is Encore CS5 help. It is a good beginning. I'm not sure if the tutorial it links to is the same as my second link. The AE help link below is also useful.
CS5 allows creation of buttons in AE, but for plain navigation options, I think it is just as easy to add in Encore or Photoshop.

Ways of creating contract and process flow of contracts

hi friends
ways of creating contract and process flow of contracts
thanks for ur help
regards
krishna

hi,
In the MM Purchasing component, a contract is a type of outline purchase agreement against which release orders (releases) can be issued for agreed materials or services as and when required during a certain overall time-frame.
Contracts can take the following forms:
Quantity contracts
Use this type of contract if the total quantity to be ordered during the validity period of the contract is known in advance. The contract is regarded as fulfilled when release orders totaling a given quantity have been issued.
Value contracts
Use this type of contract if the total value of all release orders issued against the contract is not to exceed a certain predefined value. The contract is regarded as fulfilled when release orders totaling a given value have been issued.
You can also set up corporate buying contracts with your vendors. These are valid for all plants and company codes within a client (see Centrally Agreed Contract).
You can create a contract as follows:
Manually
You enter all data relating to the contract manually.
Using the referencing technique
As reference document (the document you copy from), you can use:
Purchase requisitions
RFQs/quotations
Other contracts
CREATION OF CONTRACT MANUALLY:
Choose Outline agreement --> Contract --> Create(ME31K)
The initial screen appears.
Enter the necessary data. If you make any specifications under the group heading Default data, this data will appear as the default data in each item.
In the Agreement type field, specify whether you are creating a quantity or value contract, for example.
Press ENTER .
The header data screen appears.
Enter the contract validity period. Check the other fields on this screen and make any necessary changes (e.g. the terms of payment) and define the header conditions.
Press ENTER .
The item overview screen appears.
On this screen, enter the information for each item (material number, target quantity, price, receiving plant, or account assignment, etc.) using the same procedure as with purchase orders.
Material without a master record: leave the field for the material number empty and enter the following:
u2013 Short description of the relevant material or service in the Short text field
u2013 Material group to which the material belongs, in the Material group field
u2013 Account assignment category
You can enter u (unknown) or the category of an account assignment.
u2013 The target quantity and the order unit
If you specify an account assignment category other than U (field A), you must enter the relevant account assignment data for the item. To do so, choose Item ® Account assignments (see also Account Assignment).
If necessary, review the details for each item. Select the item(s) to review. Then select Item -> Details.
Enter the desired conditions.
Enter further text for the item if any additional instructions to the vendor or Goods Receiving are necessary. Choose Item -> Texts -> Text overview.
Save the contract.
Hope it helps..
Regards

What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
What is the best practise for that?
Thanks in advance

Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
Thanks

Using RH10 - what's the easiest way to create and save HTML code as a snippet for later re-use?

I am using RH10 to maintain and update several WebHelp projects for customer-facing Internet applications. I am noticing inconsistencies in css and html so I would like to create several snippets for later re-use. My wishlist, so far: FAQ page with internal bookmarks, product image with table of callouts, and basic page template with corporate header and footer. What's the easiest way to save / export a page that I want to use later as a snippet? Thank you.

What is the easiest way to create and share photo/video gallery or slide show with family via web?

I am brand new to Lightroom (converted from Aperture) and made the conversation mainly because I thought that Adobe would bring many more options and because Apple has discontinued development of Aperture. Part of the reason I am asking this question is because there is so much information out there on this subject that it is overwhelming and actually is making it difficult to determine the best way to simply arrange my photos/videos into a slideshow and then to publish somewhat of a gallery or slideshow to show family and friends in other states.
I do not like publishing things to Facebook/etc. Too public. I just want a simple, efficient way to create a gallery with music and have a link I can send to my family (they all live in another state).
Any help narrowing this down for me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
RJ Chesterton

an airport extreme base station would do the job, it has several ethernet ports for use by non-wireless devices, allows connecting a usb printer to share, and supports both pc and mac via wireless
config is via a dedicated set-up utility
however, you can always connect the printer to the mac or pc and share it that way, so having this support in the base station isn't essential
a much cheaper unit from netgear etc. (such as the netgear wgr614) would offer the other features, be far more compact, and allow configuration via web browser, which might be a factor if you need to give 'remote support'
i've got both airport and netgear wireless devices, imho for non-technical users the netgear is simpler than the airport due to the web browser configuration

What is the easiest way to create a 3D effect in Motion 3?

I would like to play around with 3D in Motion 3 I am unclear as how to use this feature. How do I create a simple 3D project?

Easiest way would probably be to open one of the 3D templates (File > Open Template) and start to break it down. The Help menu includes a PDF that provides a good overview of how 3D works in Motion as well.

What's the easiest way to back up and restore my hard drive to a new HD

I'm going to upgrade my hard drive to a larger one on my MacBook. I have an external backup drive. What is the easiest way to save all my data (documents, emails, etc) and applications and restore them to the new hard drive in my MacBook? I have Leopard OS.
I've read on the forum everything from using Time Machine to the Disk Utility. I have been backing up everything to my external HD using Time Machine.
Can you point me to a step by step process.

I don't use TM, so here's my method that I've used many times for the same thing you are doing.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Now, boot from the clone to be sure it works correctly by opening Startup Disk, selecting the external volume, then clicking the Restart button. If all is well the computer will boot from the external drive. Now shut down the computer and disconnect the external drive. Disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery. Install the new hard drive. Once you've completed the installation connect the external drive and restart the computer.
Now do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but recommended for a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
After formatting is completed use DU to clone the external drive's system back to the new internal drive. The external drive becomes the Source and the internal drive will be the Destination.

Best way to create tasks and assign to sharepoint groups

Hi everyone, I have a custom list which contains newsletter info that is to be seen by around 400 groups (they are stores) and then I need them to mark each list item as 'completed'
I have been trying to figure out the best way to do this and decided to keep the custom list and somehow link it to a task for each item in the list. We have nintex so was thinking of creating a workflow to create a separate task for each group (store) so
they can mark it as completed.
Is this the best way to go about it or am I completely off track?
Basically all I need is a list which contains around 30 items and around 400 groups (stores) which contain users (store staff) to be able to mark items on the list as completed so it recognises that each store has completed each task.
Thanks

Hi ,
According to your description, you want to find the best way for creating tasks for 30 list items and assigning the task to around 400 groups.
For the workflow, it is heavy that you need to create around 12000 (30*400) tasks . In my opinion, the best way is to do with a custom timer job. For more information, you can refer to the
blog:

What is the easiest way to create alias email addresses in exchange 2013?

For example my official domain is [email protected]
Within my company i want to make it look like certain departments are sending from bicycles.com skateboards.com
and skooters.com and receive to those addresses even though the emails are really going through the
[email protected] domain. but it appears to be coming from three other domains.
appearance is everything. What is the easiest way to accomplish this.
Step by step with examples if possible. I am not well versed in exchange server 2013 yet.
Droid Hacker

In Exchange 2013 you can use the ECP to add additional email addresses to mailboxes. In order for a mailbox to send using an address, that address needs to be set as the reply address. One mailbox cannot send as multiple addresses. Doing that would require
a mailbox for each address. To set a new primary address on a mailbox log into the ECP and choose mailboxes under the recipients option on the left. Then search for the mailbox you want to add the address to and click the edit symbol. Navigate to the
Email Address tab on the left. To set a new primary address you will likely need uncheck the box for "Automatically update email addresses based on the email address policy applied to this recipient". Then click the plus button, enter the new address,
and check the box for "Make this the reply address"
Before you do this you should ensure that the proper MS records exist for these other domains, and that they are properly configured for mail flow. Once you set this as the reply address for a mailbox, that is the address external users will use for replies.

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.

Transitions and FCE are all about Media Handles.
