Extending duration of project (template used)

I’m very inexperienced with Motion. Am using the template “Blocks-Detail” and I've only changed the text and photo. The default duration shows "900".
The tumbling blocks effect is too quick – it’s all over in about 3 secs. I need it to last at least twice as long. I’ve tried altering the Duration in the Timing Tab to 1800 but I get the same original effect speed. Did the same in the duration window in the lower right hand corner of my canvas but with no success. I dragged/extended the contents of the timeline to the right, but I made a real mess. Using Final Cut Studio V1, Motion V2.1, Leopard 10.5.2.
I realize I can modify the speed in FCP, but I prefer to alter the speed in Motion itself.
Any help appreciated.

hi,
you'll need to drill down the layers in the template to find the blocks that are falling. The animation will either be keyframed or will have a behaviour applied. Often if you drag the layers out to fit your new duration the animations or behaviours dont follow so you just need to drag them out also. Turn the timeline pane on for a clear view of how all the layers a spaced out, and make sure you have the show filters and keyframes button toggled on. The good news is you'll have a much deeper understanding of Motion when you've figured this all out.

Creating new template using existing template

Is anyone aware of a way to create a new project template using an existing template? I am testing a few scenarios and want to quickly be able to create a template without setting one up from scratch.
I tried a few ways but could not find a way to do this - you can only create a project using a template, not another template.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
Find the template from setup->Projects->Templates and use copyto , new template will be created from existing one.

Schedule Project using Project Template, cProjects 4.0

Hi All,
I have a requirement of Scheduling a Project using a Project template. This template will be loaded with the duration for phases & tasks, along with the task-task relations.
When i choose this template & create a Project, the earliest & latest dates appear automatically. But i need to select it manually in order to make it appear in actual dates. Is there any work around available to make it happen automatically?? This feature is not available in standard feature but any hints on going for custom based modifications??
Helpful answers will definitely be Rewarded!!!
Regards,
Sujay G

Hi
Iam unaware of the scenario why you wanted to schedule a Template in cProject. As per design Template is to facilitate the standardisation of project structure and creation of operative project in less time. By default Schedule Button is disabled in Template structure.
If you wish to see the schedule in a template, I can suggest you to create a simulation version directly from Version Tab Page. Simulation supports entire functionality of an operative project and essentially the scheduling as you desired. The project Number series is also different than operative project.
Once simulation is satisfactory, you can copy simulation to an operative project. Operative project can be used as a reference to create template.
Iam sorry if your scenario is different than this
warm regards,

BUG: Advanced Actions duplicated when creating NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8.

Need: CREATE NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8.
Problem: NEW PROJECT (.cptx) duplicates the Advanced Actions originally configured within TEMPLATE FILE (.cpt.).
For example: Template file (.cptl) advanced action "_initializeModule" gets duplicated as "_initializeModule1", "_initializeModule2", "_initializeModule3" within NEW PROJECT. FYI, the original "_initializeModule" advanced action still appears.
MAJOR BUG, what the heck is going on?!?!!! Planning to deploy this template file to use for multiple courses with multiple users, this WILL cause epic confusion across the board.

Similar problem, think they are working on it as well: when dragging a shared action from an external library to a slide or object event, and that action is using a parameter that was already created for another shared action, there will be a new parameter created which really screws up the shared action contrary to this problem. Tip: for the moment do not drag shared actions from an external library immediately to an event, but drag them first to the Library: Reuse Shared Actions in other Projects - Captivate 7 vs. 8 - Captivate blog

Using aggregator, project template and master slides

I have been hired to create an online course on project management using Captivate. The organisation has colour coded 5 areas of the project cycle. I have never used Captivate, but I was wondering if the following is on the right track and if there are any issues I would need to be aware of. I thought I would create a project template; create a separate module for each part of the project cycle (plus the introduction, conclusion and quiz) and use a different master slide for each module to use their colours; then aggregate. It will be published as SCORM to be uploaded into the learning management system in Sharepoint. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Sounds like a good plan to me. You might also consider using the diagram (if there is one) of the project process on the title slide of each module to help orient the learner as to which part is now being discussed.
One point though: If your LMS is using SCORM to track the learner's interaction with the course, don't use Aggregator to bundle the movies. Use the Multi-SCO SCORM Packager instead.
Aggregator is fine for bundling courses that are just going to be delivered to end users rather than tracked.

Mixing a playlist in Garage Band - which "new project" template should I use?

If I use "podcast" it gives me some unnecessary options, such as male/female track.
If I just want to mix some tracks from a playlist in itunes, which new project template should I use?
Thank you.

Hello Jerry,
to insert something right into the middle of a mix I like to use the Arrangement Track:
Track -> Show Arrangement Track (or Shift-⌘-A)
By clicking the "+" you can mark sections of your arrangement and adjust the size of the sections by dragging the ends. In this example I marked two sections "Part 1" and "Part 2", and a third section "insert" to be inserted right in the middle between my first sections. You then can drag the "insert" section in the arrangement track between the other two parts, and all tracks with all Automations will move along.
This is very convenient, if you have several tracks with automations added. If you only have one track without any automations it might suffice to simply select the regions behind the insertion point and to shift them to the right to be able to insert the missing region.
Good Luck
Léonie

I know how to create a PROJECT template, but is there a way to create SLIDE templates?

Basically I've got several modules, and throughout all the modules is several different pages (text&graphic page, hot graphic page, tab page etc etc).
What I would love to do is create a set template for each page type (a template for text&graphic, a template for tab page etc) as I have numerous instances of the same pages throughout all the modules (and also for continuity as well).
It would be great to create placeholders for slide templates just like the application in project templates, and then be able to drop these slides into different projects to have the same foundation to start adding data.
Project templates is a good start, but only if i want to use the same template throughout the entire module.
Any one know how to do this?
Thank yo
Rich.

If you're using Cp5/5.5 you can create multiple master slides to them apply to the applicable slides (I don't remember if it was in Cp4).
Master slides are portable, also, you can copy all the elements and paste them onto new slides in the same project or a different project.
Insert > Master Slide
Which should create a new blank slide in the Master Slide panel. You add items to the slide like backgrounds, captions, rollover captions, highlights, shapes, animations (buttons/click boxes are not allowed). You use the timeline as you would with a 'normal' slide, but you can't adjust the length of the master slide (this doesn't impact the length of a 'normal' slide).
On your content slides you select the master slide in the Properties panel, general, master slide dropdown.

Problem while creating a new project template

I am trying to create a new project template under one operating unit newly created.
I am using P A Super User responsibility for that operating unit.
In profile setting the above responsibility has been assigned the new operating unit under Mo operating unit profile.
Now when I go to Setup>>Projects>>Project Templates and click on New, the form to create new Project template opens up but in the field where I have to select the operating unit, it shows no values in the LOV.
Can anyone please help me to know what setting do I have to perform so that I can select the operating unit in this new Template creation Form.
Regards
Hawker Hunter

Dear Mr. Govind,
we have followed all the Project Implementation Setup for the new operating unit except for the Implementation options which we have to fill up for each operating unit.
In the implementation Options form in the first tab 'System' there are many fields to be filled up.
For 'Summarization period Type' we choose 'G L Period' and based on this the fields 'Calendar Name' and 'P A Period Type' automatically gets populated.
But in our case the 'P A Period Type' is not getting populated.
Can you let me know where we can link the 'P A Period Type' to the chosen 'Calendar name'?
Also there is a check box - 'Maintain common PA and GL Periods'. If we tick this check box, a message says: 'The Period Type and Calendar of the PA Period does not match the Period type and Calendar of the corresponding GL Period.'
Can you please let me know where to create the PA Period based on the corresponding GL periods?
Regards

Unable to see my project template after creating the same

Hi All,
I Created one (Multi Org)Organization and enable all the required secutiry profiles (HR: Business Group, HR:Security Profile, HR:User Type,MO:Security Profile),When i am creating the Project Template unable to see the same template its moving to some other Org its showing.
what i have to check in setups. could you please any one.
Thanks

Hi Murali,
Can you check whether you have setup the following profile options for that responsibility to see the created templates.
PA: Cross Project User -- Update
This option allow you to update the project with out assignment on the project.
PA: Cross Project User -- View
This option allow you to view the project templates by using that responsibility.

Project Templates with Enterprise Resources

I'm using Project Server 2013 ( latets updates installed for both Client and Server)
I've created a project template and attached this to a project type. My template has enterprise resources speciified. So far so good.
Now I'm trying to create a project using this template and I'm getting some errors. (See below)
As soon as I remove the resources from my template the project creates fine.
It looks like 'rsResourceCannotAddLocalWithSameNameAsEnterprise' in the error below means that Project Server looks at the resource in the template and considers the resources in the template always to be a local resources. And of
course the resource already exists in my enterprise resources and therefore the project creation fails.

My questions are:
Are Enterprise Resources in templates supported?
Is there a way around this? We're trying to make it easy to select a subset of the enterprise resources available.

I have experienced this exact same thing and my situation is highly irregular.
This is with Project Server 2013.
I had an EPT with a Project Schedule that had Generic Enterprise Resources assigned and was able to create new projects without problems using the EPT from the New button in the Project Centre in PWA.
I was creating new projects to test and demonstrate Portfolio Analysis and was able to model Organisational Capacity represented by my Generic Resources and also the Surplus/Deficit element of Resource Constraints on a Portfolio. The Hired Resource Report
was failing.
A Service Pack and Cumulative update were applied to the Server and now I cannot create new projects using EPTs that have a project schedule with Generic Enterprise Resources assigned to tasks in the schedule.
I checked the error message for the Failed and Blocking job in the queue and the GUIDs were for my Generic Enterprise Resources. I deleted the offending Generic Enterprise Resources and then re-created them anew, edited the Project Template to have
these Generic Enterprise Resources on the Project Team and randomly assigned them to tasks in the schedule to generate a notional demand for work in the Project Template. I then Saved the Template in Project as a new Project Template and edited my EPT
to reference this new Project Schedule.
Same error encountered again.
Perversely I can open the Template schedule in Project Professional and do Save As and save it as a new project to the Server and that works just fine - the schedule is visible in the Project Centre and I can edit the schedule in both Project Pro and in
PWA.
My hunch is that the Cumulative Update and Service Pack which were applied to try and resolve the failing "Hired Resources Report" in Portfolio Analysis, which sadly it didn't resolve - has probably provoked this interesting challenge as it is
the only material thing to change on the Server during the time that this issue has manifested itself.
Am I the only one to encounter this?

Can a Financial Plan Type be attached to more than one Project Template

We are working on Project Accounting through Self Service pages. For doing the Cost Budget we have created a Financial Plan Type. We attached it to a Time & Material Project. But later when we tried attaching it one more template, a Turnkey Template, it does not give us the Cost Budget-Financial Plan type in the drop down box.
Hence, wanted to know whether we can attach a Financial Plan Type to more than one Project Template??? If yes, then why didnt we get the option in the drop down box?
Chirag..

Since you are not using Company code as the branch, and are using Profit centre as the branch, I dont think its right for you to set a default profit centre for any GL account in the Chart of Account for that company.
all the SAP user in the company will be using the same company code to post, and thus, will be using exactly the same inventory account, if you set a default profit centre there, no point rite? You will need to implement a procedure to ask all the user to manually assign the profit centre during posting. Just like how we normally ask user to specify the company code before posting.
The authorisation should be set by profit centre as well. hope this helps. Thanks.

Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

My project is edited in CS4.
I moved it to Encore CS4.
I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
Thanks Jim

OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adf bc jar for base entity classes and extending them existing project

Hi,
I am using jdev 11.1.1.0 and have created a base workspace/project and adf jar for my base entity classes.
1. I can consume this base adf bc jar in a separate new consuming workspace and create VO based on base bc classes or create new EOs that extend base bc entity classes.
2. Furthermore, for an existing consuming project that earlier included src/ of base entity (BC components), i can remove the dependency on bc source and bring in this new adf jar and everything including the view controller and the service/datacontrol works fine.
The issue i am running into is as follows.
- In the existing project (#2) above i try to create a couple of entities based on entities in my base jar; associations are automatically brought in. Note i am not overriding any attributes. My intent here is to generate .java and implement some code.
- I then try to make my existing VOs based on the newly extended entity (VO overview->Entity Objects-> Shuttle NewEntity from Available to Selected)
- I then try to remove the old EO from selected under VO overview->Entity Objects->Shuttle OldEntity from Selected back
- I get a warning dialog box that says something to the effect that some viewlinks are dependent on these old EOs in this consuming project.
- I tried to laboriously analyzed dependencies and it this dialog box does not make any sense as I have already extended EOs and the tooling should be able to let me use these
My questions
- Why I am not able to remove old entities from VO dependencies
- Is it ok to leave the old EOs in "Selected" along with the newly extended EO ? What are the implications for this?
- I also thought about extending base associations, but did not go anywhere.
In general, I am ok with consuming an ADF BC jar that has entities etc. but not clear about removing dependencies of base EOs on VOs when entities are extended and consumed in a pre-existing project that used base entities.
I can send a project if any PM is willing to take a look at it.
Thanks,
ps:
I have already gone over the following info
http://technology.amis.nl/blog/215/organization-of-bc4j-domain-eo-and-business-vo-package
.. wants to create an enterprise data model in BC4J, reflecting the Enterprise Data Model set up in the RDBMS. All (or at least most) business rules will be implemented in the Middle Tier – to take the load of the database and also allow developers not comfortable with PL/SQL to define and maintain the business rules. It is clear that this means that all applications that need to access – and manipulate – the database, need to go through the BC4J foundation layer. Martijn wants to define the Entity Objects – and their business rules – only once and share that definition between different projects. Each projects can create its own ViewObjects on top of these shared Enterprise Entity Objects.
http://radio-weblogs.com/0118231/2005/09/29.html
I am currently working on a project for a partner where we will be using ADF BC as our model layer for a large application. In order to keep the footprint of each application module down to a reasonable size, we are intending to create a number of separate 'root' application modules for each functional area of the application. Within, these 'root' application modules we will then use nested application modules to further partition the application. All of the application modules will be accessing the same datasource and will need access to the same database objects.
In order to separate our code between the development team and into function areas, our initial thoughts were that we would create an ADF BC model project containing Entity Objects for all of the database tables e.t.c. as these are common amongst all functional areas. We have configured all of the EOs for validation rules, defaulting values and extending doDML() as appropriate. Happy at this stage we then created a simple .jar file to deploy all of the definitions. Upon creating a new ADF BC project for each functional area we added the jar file as a library import into the new project. However when we the tried to create some new View Objects via the JDev Wizard we were unable to see the imported Entity Objects.
Is the only way to share Entity Object definitions between different ADF BC projects to manually copy the source definition files into the new projects src directory? Since this would mean multiple copies of the same components, it could prove to be a maintenance nightmare.Is there a way of doing it without creating multiple copies of the same object definitions?
The developer is spot on in their ideas of layering and reuse, and even has created a library for their reusable entities. This last step is not something everyone thinks to do. The missing step is known as "importing" components, so with that one extra bit of knowledge under his belt, he should be able to do exactly what he envisions. My little article called Difference Between Adding and Importing Business Components tries to explain the difference and gives the menu options to choose to perform the importing.

since you followed the OC4J developer guide I think this question might be better handled there as well
