Exact size of clips?

Is there a way i can tell the exact size of a clip, the way it is now it may say 5.4 second but this is not exact since I can trim it an it still is 5.4.
If I try the usual apple i command, the iSight opens.
thanks

You were asking size, not frames. Frames is easy.
First, go into iMovie/Preferences and put a checkmark next to something like "Display Timecodes as HH:MM:SS:Frames". I can't remember exactly what it says because I now have iMovie 09 which uses slightly different words to do the same thing. By checking this box, you can edit to the frame level. The default is to be able to edit to the nearest 10th of a second.
Once you have checked this box, you will be able to see the exact length, in seconds and frames, of your selections as you drag the yellow border.
You may also find it useful to turn on VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO. This will not show you frames, but it will show you the time codes in the source material as you skim over the footage.

Exporting exact size image file

CS3/4
Can anyone tell me now to go about setting things up so that if I export my work to an image format like *.psd... I can predetermine the exact size the image will be?
I've groped around in the help file but this kind of thing is hard to nail down the search strings that will unearth something. So far I haven't.
That goes ditto for google too. Seems like there are too many things matching the needed key words.
I see 2 things in the export dialog itself which probably has bearing on final size. Those are the check box of whether to include artboard or not and more important the resolution to save at.
But still seems no way to know in advance what it will be.
I have found that if I stay with screen resolution (72) then the final output will be very close to the same size as the artwork itself. Just with in
rounding of decimals in fact.
So is there some nifty formula to get the exact size a 150 or 300 Resloution image will be?

it sounds like youre perhaps misunderstanding the relationship of size and resolution. 72 is screen or web resolution which is why it "looks" the same.
if exporting from AI to psd, use the Image>Image Size option in photoshop.
• if you are using for web then use the "Save For Web & Devices" feature under "File". You get a lot of options on file type and size.
Uncheck "Clip to Artboard" if you only want to export the visible images.
If you are using masks, you may want to use the crop tool to select exactly what you want to export, and then you can set exact sizes in the "Image Size" tab. Dont forget to constrain proportions.
• if you want to print a file then the size is "set" at the size you dictate in the "image size" and the resolution affects how good it looks when it prints out.

Opening SWF to its exact size in HTML (ASP page)

Hi,
I have one popup window to open any SWF. User clicks a button
from some other page and the file name is passed to this popup
window through parameter. The popup window itself is sized at 100%
to accomodate with any SWF file.
For the SWF object, if width and height parameters are
missing, the animation has a default size, if width and height are
specified at 100%, the animation is resized much bigger...
Is it possible to find the exact size of the SWF (either by
VBScript or Javascript) and to resize the control to its original
size, either using VB variables when the page is built or with
Javascript once the page is loaded ?
Many thanks for your help

Does a text box for an ebook have to be the exact size?

I'm using Indesign to create an ebook. The usable, non-bordered area of each page is 800 x 600.
For each page I use the Type Tool button to allow me to create a text box that fills the page area of 800 x600 pixels. I go to great effort to make sure it is aligned perfectly and exactly the right size. I have slight muscular problems in my hands which makes them unsteady so I sometimes don't draw the box exactly the same size and have to undo it and start again a few times. It would be easier for me if I didn't have to be so precise.
My question is if I used the Type Tool to draw a Text box that is bigger than the 800x600 page would this have repurcussions in how the ebook functions or displays or does it not make any difference?

I've not been using Master Pages.
I'm using Indesign to create an ebook which I will output an epub file.
I set the page dimensions then I have been adding a page as I progress and then using the Type Tool to create a text box for each new page.
So when you say 'ePub has no exact size predefined by the layouter it is like xhtml.' does this mean the text box size doesn't matter?

Specifying the exact size of a rectangle or line - Adobe Acrobat Professional 8

I am making a few modifications to an existing document of a scale drawing (1mm to 300mm).
When using the Line Tool or Rectangle Tool Is it possible to draw a line or rectangle to be an exact size on the drawing. Is there a way to specify the exact dimension's you'd like something to be? For example, is there a way for me to draw a box with the exact dimensions 300mm by 500mm?

Hello Michal,
I tried your solution 1. I un-installed both Reader 7.0.8 and Professional 8.0.
Then I re-installed Reader 7.0.8.
Then I re-installed Professional 8.0, but no where during installtion process did it ask me if Professional 8.0 should be default to open PDF files. By default it set it to open PDF files. Now I'm back to original problem.
Solution 2 still works (i.e. open Reader 7.0.8) before opening the URL in web browser (then it opens in Reader 7.0.8).
But we want a permanent solution.
Please help.
Thanks,

What is the Exact Size of the Company Logo?

Hi DBA's
Can anybody tell me What is the Exact Size of the Company Logo for my login page of the Ebussiness Suit R12.1.1.
Best Regards,
SG

Do you mean Exact size in dimensions(width/height) or size of the picture?
For the size there is no max limit on the image but better to take the lightest image size in jpg, gif or png formats.
And for the dimensions there is no limit.

Copying a shape to an Exact size in PSE

I'm trying to place photos within a film strip and make each one an exact size to fit. I was told to select the first photo, then hit inverse and select the second photo and hit delete. Instead of it making it the exact size it removes the photo ( second one) from the film strip. Why is that happening??

Hi Terri,
With the filmstrip image open,
open the images of the people you wish to add,
Cascade so you can see all the images, or minimize them,
then,
Select the first person, what you do next depends on if you want the
person on a transparent background or if you want to include the
original background,
if you want the background,
using the Rectangular Marquee Tool select the area of the image you
want & Edit, Copy, make the filmstrip image active & Edit Paste.
Repeat for each person;
Each person will be on their own Layer of the filmstrip image so you
can shrink or stretch them to fit. It will be easier to get the look
of the people being on the filmstrip if you move the Background image
to the top of the Layer stack.
> When I do that her pic disappears.
Because you need to Select, Inverse, Delete for each image before
selecting the next image.
Alex,

Can I resize to an exact size in Bridge when exporting with the export panel?

I need to create and export jpegs to an exact size: 5700 pixels lonmgest side. I used to do this using the 'fit image' command in photoshop. However, if I enter 5700 into the export panel box it converts to just below it, as it's a 'fit to' box.
Any ideas? as i'm testing. If this is possible without photoshop then we will be able to encorperate bridge CS5 into our company workflow. Thank you

You do get rounding errors in Bridge this is normally 1 pixel less, so this needs to be fixed by the Bridge team.
There are no other parameters.. bitmapDataObj.resize(dimension[, quality])

How to print an exact size in illustrator

I have reproduced a very detailed map that I now want to print. The original was based on a scanned version that measures in PS 36 X 45 inches or 10440 X 13920 px. I want one copy to be at the larger size and it does not need to be exact. I want a second print to exactly match the original at 15.92 inches wide. I don't see how to get this exact size print in AI and since I will be taking this to an outside printer I thought it would be nice if I knew how to get this exact size print.

Richard,
Your description of what you have done and your requirements are not clear. All the responses thus far involve some degree of guessing.
I have reproduced a very detailed map that I now want to print.
What do you mean by "reproduced"? Traced it as vector paths in Illustrator? Reworked it in Photoshop?...?...?
The original was based on a scanned version that measures in PS 36 X 45 inches or 10440 X 13920 px.
Okay. You have a 10440 x 13920 pixel raster image.
Those proportions do not scale to 36 x 45 inches.
They scale to 33.75 x 45 or 36 x 48.
I want one copy to be at the larger size and it does not need to be exact.
What "larger size"?
What do you mean by "a copy"? How is this going to be printed? Offset lithography? One-off large format inkjet printer?...?
Assuming we're talking about offset, sheetfed, CMYK printing the raster image combined with some native Illusrator artwork, do this:
1. Open the image in Photoshop. Perform whatever raster retouching you want. Perform whatever color correction you want. When all rework of the image itself is done, be sure you end up in CMYK mode. Save the file in Photoshop format as "Original".
2. ReSIZE it to the desired print scale. Crop it to the area you want to print, plus at least .125" extra on any side that bleeds. ReSAMPLE it to 1-to-2 times the halftone screen ruling that will be used when it is printed. Flatten layers. Remove any extra channels. Sharpen it appropriately. Save in TIFF format, as "LargeMap".
3. Set up a new Illustrator document an appropriate size. "Appropriate size" depends upon the printing setup and whether there are bleeds. You can set the Artboard size to the size of the press sheet (assuming sheetfed printing), or to the trim size plus any bleed, plus room for any trim or fold marks you want to include.
4. Import the raster image. Position it correctly relative to the trim marks or guides. Put it on its own layer and lock the layter.
5. Draw the native Illustrator stuff on Layer(s) above it.
6. Save as Press Ready PDF.
I want a second print to exactly match the original at 15.92 inches wide.
For best results, open the cleaned up, full-res image you saved and named as "Original" in step 1. Then repeat steps 2 (saving it as "SmallMap") through 6.
I don't see how to get this exact size print in AI
You can scale a raster image that you have placed in Illustrator, just as you would scale any other object. For example, assuming the image you place is the original 10440 x 13920 scan. You could simply turn on the proportional link in the Transform palette, and set the width to, say 15.92 inches. But that would scale the image to a grossly oversampled 656 ppi.The excess data would simply get averaged away in the imaging process, resulting in a slight blurring and "muddying" of the image. (In other words, it would effectively undo your careful sharpening.)
and since I will be taking this to an outside printer I thought it would be nice if I knew how to get this exact size print.
Raster images should be sampled so as to achieve a ppi that is appropriate to the specific printing method, when scaled to the printed size. Too many people just offhandedly say to "make everything 300 ppi". That is just a corruption of the general rule-of-thumb mentioned above in step 2: Sample your images so that their effective ppi is 1-to-2 times the halftone ruling.
Assuming the common 150 lpi halftone, 225 ppi would be considered dead center of that range, not 300 ppi. 150 ppi is the "low side" of the range; 300 is the "high side". When a range is given, you don't just automatically set everything at the "high side"; otherwise, there would be no reason for providing a range. (If your tires say the maximum inflation is 45 psi, is that the pressure you always use?).
The "high side" is not necessarily for "best results"; it's to allow some fudge room convenience if you decide to scale the image larger on page. Neither is the "low side" necessarily "worst results" or "borderline results": It depends on the image. For example, there is no reason to set a soft-edged drop shadow at higher than the halftone ruling. There is no sharp detail to worry about preserving; the only concern is to avoid visible pixelation, which will not occur if sampled to the halftone ruling. (One round halftone dot cannot render the square shape of a single pixel.)

Get exact size of directory or bundle

How can I get exact size of directory or app bundle? The `du` command shows disk usage (as per command name), is there a command to get exact file size in bytes (stripping the overhead bytes of blocks)?

Try the following, which takes into account resource forks:
STARTING_DIR="$HOME/Movies"
find "$STARTING_DIR" -type f |\
    perl -ne '
        chomp $_;
        @st=stat($_);
        $sum+=$st[7];
        @st=stat("$_/rsrc");
        $sum+=$st[7];
        END{print "$sum\n";}
My quick testing seems to indicate that directories and subdirectories are not being counted, but file resource forks are.
My tests did not try Aliases, Symlinks, CHR, BLK, or FIFO typed files, so it may or may not be accurate.

How to know exact size of table with blob column

I have a table with one BLOB column. I ran this query.
select bytes/1024/1024 from user_segments where segment_name='GMSSP_REQUEST_TEMP_FILES'
(user_segments is a view)
it gave me 0.125
It means size of table is 0.125. I have uploaded 3 files to this table. Each of them is of 5 mb. After that I check size of table. but result was same. i.e 0.125.
Can any body tell me how to know exact amount of space consumed by files. I am expecting following result
size should be (5+5+5+0.125)MB
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Need clarification on exact size/amount of Artic Silver to apply on AMD64 3000+

I am installing the OEM HSF on my AMD64 3000+ winchester CPU using Artic Silver and I need a bit of clarification about the size/amount of the Artic Silver blob that I need to put on the CPU heat spreader.
EDIT - I'm reading the Artic Silver instructions right now from the website:
Quote
Only a small amount of Arctic Silver is needed
P4- About the size of an uncooked grain of short-grain white rice or 2/3 of a BB.
Athlon64- About the size of one and a half uncooked grains of short-grain white rice or 3/4 of a BB.
Could someone give me a diameter in millimetres (mm) or something? I'll go look for some rice in the house, but anyways......lol... :P
For clarification, I want to be sure I put the proper amount of AS on the heat spreader. I don't really know how big a BB is exactly. Is a BB a ball bearing or a "BB" used in bb guns? I'm guessing the size I should use is around 3 or 4 mm? Could someone clarify this for me before I go ahead?
How much AS should I apply to the heat spreader? How big should the round blob of AS be?
thanx,

Ok, but using a peice of paper may introduce dust, lint or paper particles. They don't even say to spread the AS compound around at all, they just say:
Quote
9. On an Intel P4 or Athlon64 type CPU with a large metal heat spreader, put a small amount of Arctic Silver onto the center of the heat spreader as shown in the photo.
Only a small amount of Arctic Silver is needed
P4- About the size of an uncooked grain of short-grain white rice or 2/3 of a BB.
Athlon64- About the size of one and a half uncooked grains of short-grain white rice or 3/4 of a BB.
10. RECHECK to make sure no foreign contaminants are present on either the bottom of the heatsink or the top of the CPU core. Mount the heatsink on the CPU per the heatsink's instructions. Be sure to lower the heatsink straight down onto the CPU.
Once the heatsink is properly mounted, grasp the heatsink and very gently twist it slightly clockwise and counterclockwise one time each if possible. (Just one or two degrees or so.)
Please note that some heatsinks cannot be twisted once mounted.
Our testing has shown that this method minimizes the possibility of air bubbles and voids in the thermal interface between the heat spreader and the heatsink. Since the vast majority of the heat from the core travels directly through the heat spreader, it is more important to have a good interface directly above the actual CPU core than it is to have the heat spreader covered with compound from corner to corner.
So they say to put a little tiny blob on there and just attach the heatsink right on there. I am guessing that the attaching of the heatsink does the work of spreading the compound and avoids voids..lol..if you excuse the pun.

Reducing AI size for clip art (wmf or emf) CS3 on Windows

Hello All -
I was actually in an Adobe workshop last week with an Adobe goddess and she was not able to answer this question - so unfortunately, I do not have much hope. But the last question I asked on this forum was answered so quickly and accurately I thought I would give it a shot!
I am creating clip art for a client who has decided they can only use .wmf or .emf files for their application. My illustrations, when exported to .wmf, are around 3MB. Obviously, for clip art this is much to large, since these files are typically around 7-15 KB.
I have tried numerous ways to reduce my file size drastically, (including merging, saving as older versions, tiff's & png's and reimporting, correcting in photoshop...) and the only way that has produced a small enough file size was to remove any beauty in my illustrations and make them completely flat, solid, colors. At first, the client was pleased with the results, but has now decided they are not pleased and want to be able to use the original illustrations that I provided and still have a small file size.
Suggestions?

Your client is painting you into an impossibly small corner, and for no reason. Large posters such as you will be producing are printed on expensive inkjet plotters, operated by professional print service bureaus. Those people use professional graphics programs, including Illustrator. They would most likely prefer either native files (ie: Illustrator) or PDFs. Your client is asking for impossibly small EMF files because... well there’s no way to logically finish that sentence. Probably that’s the format they grew up with or that they were told works best with Microsoft Word. Perhaps it did, too, in the 1990s.
Since quality of image is probably the most important factor, anything you do to make smaller size or EMF compatibility a priority will compromise that, probably for no good reason. See if the print shop will accept PDF. See if the client can work with PDF, if the client feels some need to work with the files.

How to add audio to exactly start of clip

i have an edited project, created new compound, exported the audio as mp3 and edited audio in soundtrack pro. i then saved the audio as an aiff-c audio file. when i drag it back in to fcpx, its really hard to have it line up exactly to the start of the compound clip. when i do drag it right to the start, it replaces the video instead. what's the best way to get the imported audio to line up exactly with in sync with the video?

so, just to clarify, i put the playhead at the start of the compound clip, select the aiff file from event library, then hit "Q"?

Need help setting the exact size of my JSlider

Hello everyone. I'm trying to build a small program to help people learn a about RGB colour values, and at the same time teach myself a bit more about Java. Things have been going fine so far until I came to setting my JSlider's size. The intention is to have three JSliders with a JPanel next to each. The I need the track of the slider to be exactly 256 pixels tall (one pixel per gradient value painted into the adjacent JPanel) plus whatever extra padding and spacing the Look And Feel dictates.
I've got the height set to 256 pixels in the following code, but it makes the JSlider as a whole 256 pixels tall and so squishes the track. I've set the minor tick spacing to 2 so that if the track was actually 256 pixels tall, the ticks would alternate over each screen pixel. If you compile and run the code, you will notice that a few ticks appear next to each other without a one-pixel gap between them. I've also verified it by taking a screen capture, pasting it into the GIMP and then using the measure tool to check the size.
I've tried searching through the API documentation to find ways of doing it, or to see if some ideas I've had so far were possible, but so far, I've not found anything particulairly satisfactory. I even tried to see if I could set the JSlider size to current JSlider size minus the track size, plus 256, but I couldn't find a way of getting the current size of the track.
Can anyone help me out here? I'm rather stuck.

Here's the code with all but the JSliders stripped out. Sorry about having to put it in a seperate post; the forum wouldn't allow it.
