Editing text captions changes the Duration setting

HI,
I edited a text caption in the Text Caption dialog and closed
it with the OK button. The duration (Text Caption dialog >
Options tab > Timing > Display for:) changed although I
didn't change it. Has anyone had this problem? I looked at the help
file but didn't find any information.
Thanks,
MochaLM

Hi Rick,
I sent my reply, but it looks that it didin't get sent, so
I'm writng this again. Thank you so much for your quick response!!
I unchecked Calculate Caption Timing, and the problem is resolved.
You're great! Thanks so much

  • Text caption changes font/colour/size

    Hi
    The Recording Defaults for the Text Caption in the prferences has not been altered.
    On some slides I need to add a text caption.
    I'm finding that sometimes when I click to add a Text Caption the font, colour and size is different to what the default settings are. The default is Arial, 12, #0000FF.
    When I manually add a text caption it'll show as System, 10 and black.
    Has anyone come across this before?  Is there a way to stop it.  It's really annoying and a time waster to have to manually change the font, size and colour.  And you have to be on your guard.  It's not every time I manually add a text caption, just sometimes.  It's intermittent.
    Thanks
    Anita

    Hi there
    The name will vary from version to version.
    Captivate_v10.dat
    Captivate_v20.dat
    Captivate_v30.dat
    Captivate_v40.dat
    The location also varies. For me, it is:
    D:\Documents and Settings\Rick\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
    As you can see, D is my drive letter. Yours will likely be C. My name is Rick and is how I log in. Yours will be different. Also, the "Application Data" folder is likely to be hidden from your view unless you adjust Windows to show it to you. And all of this is likely in a different location if you are using Vista or Windows 7. I'm using XP Pro.
    Note that you cannot edit this file. Captivate does that internally. About all you are able to do is to close Captvate and delete or rename it. Captivate will then cook up a fresh one when it starts up and cannot locate it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to change the duration of a sequence of stills all at once

    Hi.
    I know how to change the duration of one still, but changing the duration of many seems elusive.  I've gone to the Help menu and typed "Duration."  That points me to the menu where I would change the duration of one still.
    Thanks for your help!

    edit:
    For items already in the timeline, Select the each item in the timeline, right click and select "change speed" from the popup menu. You can not change the duration of a group of slides, only one at a time.
    To change images that are already imported but not in the timeline, there are two ways to go - the brute force method and the item by item method.
    Brute Force: Delete the stills from the Browser, change the duration of still setting in User Preferences>Editing to what you want, then reimport the stills. They will come in with the new duration. Changing the User Preference setting only affects stills imported after the change, it has no effect on material already in the Browser.
    Item By Item: Go to the still in the Browser and change the duration for it. Right click on the time and copy it. Select the next still image time, paste the new time in, rinse and repeat. If you have a lot of stills and they are well organized (ie all in the same folder), the brute force is probably faster.

  • How to change the duration of multiple paint strokes

    Hello everyone! Newbie here.
    I should've set the paint properties to first frame instead of constant. Where properties of multiple clone stamps are easily modified at once, the duration shows as a percentage and so I can't figure out how to reset the duration to the first frame of the clone stamps.
    I should've read the paint chapter of the After Effects manual before I made a mess but I haven't found my answer there.
    I'll also appreciate any suggestions for scratches and noise removal filters.
    Thank your for your help!

  • Is it possible to change the duration of the timeline in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

    I'm used to working on Avid systems where the length of the timeline is determined by the last asset in the timeline, where it ends. I'm editing commercials and don't need or want a 10 minute timeline. Does anyone know how to change the duration of the timeline, like you can in After Effects? I've tried everything I can think of and It seems like it is not possible.... Thanks!

    Now, if you are seeing a Duration for your Timeline, that is longer than what you "anticipate" with your Assets on it, then you could well have an "Orphan," out beyond the anticipated end. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
    Good luck,

  • How do I change the default setting on  the 'view scale'?

    I'll try submitting this a second time - it didn't seem to go through the first time.
    I have an iMac G5 (OSX 10.4.4.), my first encounter with Apple. I find that the default size that text displays on screen in the wordprocessing application is too small for my eyes (I ain't as young as I used to be ...). The text always displays in what seems to be about font 8 or 10, no matter what size I set the document font (it will print in the size I set, but not display in it).
    I have discovered that I can change the display size by using the 'view scale' tab in the lower left corner of the window. Size 140 suits me just fine. Problem is that I have to change the view scale each time I open a new document.
    Can anyone tell me how to change the default setting on 'view scale' ?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You can create default documents with the settings you want for each type of AppleWorks document. I wrote a user tip, New, blank documents with your settings, that details how to do this.

  • Why can't I change the duration of a still frame?

    I am running Final Cut Express 3.5.1
    When I try to change the duration of a still frame it generally snaps back to the existing duration rather than changing. Occasionally it will change but never to the duration I select which is ususlly :20 to :50 of a second. It sticks on a variety of durations between 1:20 and :05. I have tried both altering and rewriting the duration.I have tried restarting as well as all of the following methods:
    1 Changing the duration in the User Preferences > Editing, still duration field.
    2 Ammending the browser duration column .
    3 Double clicking on the still to open it in the viewer and changing the duration field.
    4 Draging the still into the timeline, control clicking and changing the duration in the drop down menu.
    5 I also clicked on the still in the browser > edit > item properties but there was no timing tab available to select (as suggested on another posting.)

    This project is just a short animation so every time I import the stills they are of the wrong duration so I try changing the duration by the other methods described previously, fail to be able to do that, erase everything from the project, restart and start again, initially with the preferences. So there's nothing for the still frames to conflict with. It's not the fact that there is a batch of stills that is the problem either as I keep experimenting with with single or small groups of stills in that context. I've also tried importing a variety of still formats into other projects. This is fairly new software. Could this be an incurable fault?

  • Website not displaying correctly. Firefox is changing the character set to Western (ISO-8859-1) automatically.

    Normally I have set Firefox (or it's set by default) to Character Set Unicode (UTF-8) and everything displays perfectly. I've never had a problem before.
    Now however, whenever I upload my own website, for some bizarre reason on that particular tab (and only that tab) the Character Set is changed over to Western (ISO-8859-1) and then there's a few characters within my site that do not display correctly, namely apostrophes and hypens.
    It definitely isn't my software (Serif WebPlus X4) because the page displays correctly in every other browser. Plus it displays correctly in Firefox if I change the Character set back to Unicode.
    PS The site is a work in progress

    That happens because the server sends a content-type (<b>text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1</b>) via the HTTP response headers and in that case that content type prevails. The page code is saved with an UTF-8 byte order mark () that you see in this case.

  • How can I change the duration of stills on Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello everyone.
    I need to change the duration of stills and I'm having a hard time doing that. I'm not interested in changing the default setting. The stills need different times, so I need to be able to manually alter the duration of each clip. Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you!

  • How to change the Character Set from AL32UTF8 to WE8DEC

    Hello!!
    I want to know how to change the character set in the database from AL32UTF8 to WE8DEC.
    I tried to use the comand ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET but I got an error because WE8DEC is not a superset of AL32UTF8.
    I need to import tables from a server that uses WE8DEC. So when I do the import to my server, wich has AL32UTF8 , I can't import the rows that include an Ñ.
    So I want to change the caracter set to WE8DEC. How can I do it?
    Is it needed to change the language configuration? The remote server has AMERICAN_AMERICA, and my server has MEXICAN SPANISH_MEXICO (both uses text in spanish).
    Thanks a lot!!

    When you export from WE8DEC server what did you use
    for NLS_LANG char set? And when importing?
    The export was done in another computer because I can't do the export in the server (I have 10g, and the remote server has 9i and the export is not working). In my server, when I tried to do the import, the NS_LANG value was MEXICAN SPANISH_MEXICO.WE8MSWIN1252.
    When I try to import to my database I got the error:
    import done in WE8DEC character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
    import server uses AL32UTF8 character set (possible charset conversion)
    export client uses WE8MSWIN1252 character set (possible charset conversion)

  • On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    You can set the default duration of stills but you have to do it before you start the project. 
    iMovie is not really suitable for stop motion videos and iMovie 10 is worse than iMovie 9 because the minimum still duration is not really controllable as you have found.   I don't have experience of making such videos but there are 3rd party apps which appear more suited to this, for example http://www.macworld.com/article/1146623/stop_motion_Mac.html
    mentions some of them, though its a bit old and you may be able to find more up to date information.

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
    Let us assume Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for the purpose of an example.
    1. Select all the clip on the Timeline (all at one time) that are being targeted for same duration change.
    2. Right click anywhere in the selection, select Time Stretch, and, then in the Time Stretch dialog, change the duration 00;00;0O;00. (hours; minutes; seconds; frames).
    Do you have one of those versions that I mentioned, making sure to select all the involved clips ahead of time before going
    after Time Stretch?
    Selections
    If you want all the clips on the Timeline, then Edit Menu/Select All
    or
    Hold down the Shift key of the computer main keyboard, and, with the mouse cursor, click on each of the clips to be involved in this duration change
    or
    With the mouse cursor, draw a rectangle around the clips to go into the selection in order to select them
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Export Project and Change the Duration Cause the Finish date error

    I use VB.NET to create a MS Project Instance and use this Instance to add task, and set task's Name, Start and Finish, the Project file is created successfully, and the Duration value will be automatically generated by Project, but if I change the Duration
    value in Project, the Finish date isn't correct, for example, if I set the the Start is "10/21/2014" and Finish is "10/31/2014", the generated Project file has a Duration value is "9 days", and if I change the Duration value to
    "2 days", the Finish date will be changed to "10/21/2014", why this problem happen? I have no idea about this problem.

    when you set Start is "10/21/2014" and Finish is "10/31/2014", the generated Project file has a Duration value is "9
    days" because it is taking Saturday and sunday as non working days.
    By default in Project server calendar both Saturday
    and Sunday are non workng days. If you want to make these day as working day you have to configure the calendar once you will do it then it will display duration value as 11.
    When you change the value then after changing value click on Calculate button so that project server can calculate value correctly it is not required to click on Calculate
    all the time but some time project server takes time to reflect the chnages but if you will publish the project it will calculate correctly and display proper finish date ( I
    change the Duration value to "2 days", the Finish date will be changed to "10/21/2014 as 10/23/2014)

  • How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

    How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2?  I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.
