Extending the display duration of text

What property controls the duration a text will be displayed. Currently, I have a 10 second animation, and after adding the text it disappeared after 3 seconds. I have chosen a LiveType font (Iglow) and when I changed the direction property to Ping-Pong (in LiveFont Timing section), the text displayed for longer - which makes sense to me. The first character of a two character Logo disappeared at 5 seconds, and the second character disappeared at 6 seconds
This logo is for gardening segments, so what I'd like to have, is to have the logo appear, animate (rotation), and then have a flock of birds fly overhead, drop a special "package", where the XXX hits the logo causing it to tilt. Rain comes, sun comes out, and the plant grows - which lifts up the tilted end of the logo restoring it to horizontal position.
I have the birds flying overhead, dropping their special package, while the logo appears,rotates, and would have been hit by the bird dropping, but the text disappears from view.
I imagine this is a fairly simple thing, but have missed it when walking thru the properties, and even though I have some effect on the life of the text when I change the Direction property to Ping-Pong I don't really want to change the Direction property.
I'm using Motion 4, but suspect Motion 3 works the same in this particular area

Instead of Ping-Pong - how about just a freeze?
LifeFonts are just animations and you'll generally want them to freeze after they've drawn themselves on...

I see, now, I can adjust the "hold Last" property in the LiveFont timing and it controls when the text disappears - as I think Mark Spencer is suggesting.
Is there another way to accomplish, or is this what you are suggesting as well?

Can I use my iPad mini to extend the display from my Macbook Air?

Is there a way to utilize my ipad mini wifi, to extend the display from my Macbook Air?

There is no need to charge it before you first use it. You cannot run the battery too low as the system will shut the device off before that happens to protect the battery.
Generally speaking, your Lithium battery will have the longest useable life if you avoid deep cycles. Since you can plug and unplug it as you wish, the best thing to do is just charge it up (however much) whenever it is convenient to do so (whether it is 10% discharged, or 20% or 50% - basically don't pay any attention to the battery level, just plug it in when it is convenient to do so to keep the battery topped up). And try to avoid frequent deep cycles where you run it all the way or very near to the point it auto-shuts off.

How can i control the duration of the display of a text caption?

I have five buttons on the screen. I wish to realize this: click on any of the button, a corresponding text caption will appear and stays for 5 seconds, or until next button is clicked.
Can someone tell me how to realize this?
Thank you.

Hello,
Tried this out, seems to work:
create a user variable v_start that will store the number of the first frame
create an advanced action Start, to be triggered on entering the slide, with two statements:
Assign v_start with rdinfoCurrentFrame
Continue
create the 5 text captions and set them to invisible, I labeled them TC_One, TC_Two, TC_Three, TC_Four, TC_Five; they should start from the beginning of the slide and timed for 5secs
create the 5 buttons, each of them will trigger an advanced action
create the advanced actions One, Two... Five to be triggered by the buttons, with those statements (here example for action One):
Show TC_One
Hide TC_Two
Hide TC_Three
Hide TC_Four
Hide TC_Five
Assign rdcmndGotoFrame with v_start this will send the playhead to the first frame, and text caption will show up for 5 secs
Continue

Satellite L550 - Can I extend the display?

Hello,
I was wondering if I can extend the desktop onto an external monitor? I need to be able to work on a large double screen desktop. I know the L550 has a VGA out, however - I have a feeling it can only be used to send desktop 1 to another display or duplicate.
If it makes any difference the model I am looking to buy is the L550-1C9 or L550-1CC
Thanks :)

"switch between laptop LCD and external monitor very easy using FN+F5 key combination"
Switch between? I need to be able to use both internal & external displays to create one larger display.
I have to have one monitor for research while I use the other for writing. I need the 17" display as If I'm out somewhere
I could make-do sitting word & firefox together until I get back home.
The HDMI port is not necessary, however, even although it's not a requirement - I would like to have that option.

Can we toggle the display of Key/Text in Webi prompt?

Gurus,
We have a BOBJ 4.0 and BW 7.1 system. We have developed a webi report on top of BW BEx query. We have created 3 variables in BW BEx Query and they appear as prompts in webi. The prompt variables in webi display both the key and text when the list of values are refreshed. The business wants to see the key first and the text later on the webi prompt. I have tried modifying the BEx query to say just 'Key' or 'Key and Text' but none seems to have any effect on webi.
I have attached the screenshot from our webi prompt which displays all the material text first and the material number (key) next to it. Is there any option of bringing the key first and the text later in the webi prompt? Creating a universe or creating the prompts directly on the webi report is not an option at this time.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Points will be rewarded!
Thanks,
G.

Hi Nirupa,
I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my requirement. The requirement is to have the Key display first and then the text next to it. If you see the attached screenshot, in the highlighted area, we have the text first and then the key next to it.
I tried making many changes to the BEx variable and the BEx Query but this order of text first and key next in the prompts does not seem to change. Is there a way to change this behavior of the webi prompts? Again, all the 3 prompts are created on BEx query designer as variables and there are no variables created on webi.

You cannot do any operation on forms label
other way is to use non-database Display items to show you text.... or if you are looking to hide the prompts of text fields then you can set it to null or hide the text item completely

HP Pavilion Notebook - 15 - P196na - Can I extend the display

Hi,I am not very computer literate, but I was hoping somebody could please tell me whether my laptop as detailed in the subject above can have an extended display to another monitor?I only have a HDMI input, so I purchased some VGA - HDMI leads, however all the screen says is check video display and it will not identify the other laptop. I attempted to follow the process on an online forum on another site, but ended up with a black screen. Whatever I did I couldnt get rid of the black screen and I have reset the computer in its entirety. I obviously don't want to do this again. Can anyone help?

What other laptop? Please explain exactly what hardware you are trying to connect here. You do not have HDMI input you have HDMI output so if you are trying to span the desktop across 2 laptops it is not going to work. You can hook a monitor up to your laptop using the HDMI port as output.

MBP won't offer 1920x1080 60Hz when the display is perfectly capable?

I am trying to connect my 2010 MBP (10.6.8) to a Toshiba 39" LED HDTV (39L22U) through miniHDMI. I am extending the display, not mirroring it, and want a 1920x1080 60Hz resolution, but that is not an option on the list. "1080p (Television)" is one of the options, but it most certainly looks terrible just like most of the other resolutions. I have found that the best looking option strangely enough is 1360x768 60Hz, but 768p is not ideal and I know that the TV is capable of much more.
I have downloaded programs like Switchresx and others to workaround and try to let me select the resolution, but have had no success with them. It kept telling me the resolution was invalid or something. Google has told others with a similar problem to use a miniDVI adapter, but the TV doesn't have DVI inputs and I would like to use the HDMI. I just got off the phone with Toshiba customer support and they told me that this is a Mac issue because the MBP sets the resolution, not their glorious TV.
Why will my computer offer everything up to 1600x900 60Hz, but not the one thing I'm looking for 1920x1080 60Hz?

Not resolved, only solution seems to be to ensure XP set to a single display before shutting down so that next time it can boot up when the LED display is not connected.

What do you mean by "extend the display"? If you mean "magically make it bigger", then no.

How to extend the video timeline duration in Photoshop CS6

I’m trying to make a 3D text video intro in Photoshop CS6. It seems like the default time line is only 10 seconds long. Is there any way to extend the duration of the time line?

Thank you for your reply. However I’m not sure that will help.
Here is what I am doing. I have 3 3D objects merged together. I 3D background and 2 text objects. I want to animated the 2 text objects. However I need more then 10 seconds to animate it the way I want to.
I have tried adding more objects but the time line does not extend the duration of the time line.
CS 5 had an option to set the time line.

How can I format the y-axis to display durations?

How can I cause the y-axis of this chart to reflect the values in Row 6 [Average Pace (Minutes per Mile)] of the corresponding table in duration format rather than number format. In other words, I need the y-axis to be a list of durations appearing like the figures in Row 6. Also, I need it to begin with the longest duration (10:00) and to climb to the shortest duration (5:00) at the top. I'll should mention that I already tried using the Inspector, but the "Duration" formatting option for the y-axis was not selectable while other formats were. I also tried formatting the y-axis this way to "Same as source data," and this didn't cause it to display durations either, though I had expected it to. Thanks in advance!
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Numbers can display only numeric values on the Y axis, and those values are always arranged from highest to lowest, with highest at the top.
That said, here's what is possible:
There is, of course, some manipulation of the data involved in this, as well as replacement of the value axis labels with custom labels in a text box.
Here's what's happenng with the man behind the curtain:
While the chart shows the data from row 6, it is actually graphing the data from row 7 (or whatever row you choose to place this data in.
Row 7 uses a formula ( =-60*24*STRIPDURATION(B6) ) to first strip the Duration from the data in row 6, returning a number representing the fraction of a 24 hour day equivalent to the duration in row 6.
It multiplies that number by 24*60 to convert it to the number of minutes (and fractions of minutes) in the duration, and changes the sign of the number to - (negative) so that the shorter values will be higher in the chart.
Selecting row 7 and choosing Line Chart from the Charts Button's menu produces, with one difference, the chart shown after setting the min and max values on the Y axis to -10 and -5 respectively, and incrementing the number of steps on the Y axis from 4 to 5).
The difference, of course, is that the Y axis value labels all show negatic=ve numbers, with no m to indicate they show 'minutes.' To correct this, insert a text box and enter the six numbers 5 to 10, with each followed by an m and a return.
Select the Text box, change the alignment to Right aligned (with the alignment button in the format bar), then drag the box in front of the Value axis labels with the 5s aligned.
In the Inspector, choose Text inspector, then Text. Use the Space after Paragraph stepper to increase the setting until the 10 in the box aligns with the 10 in the Value Axis labels box. You may have to tweak the height of the chart slightly to achieve this alignment.
Select the chart, then choose the Chart Inspector, then Axis. Use Choose Axis Options (for the Value Axis) to uncheck Show Value Labels.
Regards,
Barry

Can I get my dock to appear on the extended screen display?

I would like to have my dock appear on my extended screen display and my lap top screen. Is this possible?
The thing that is frusterating is when I click on my dock, i have to drag everything that it pulls up onto the extended screen. I would much rather just click on the dock and have it appear on my extended screen without me having to drag it over. If I cant have my dock on both screens, is there a way that I can make my external display be the primary display and my mb pro be the secondary display?

Hi Scott,
If you want the dock on the side, rather than the bottom, you can have it on the right hand side of the right hand monitor, or the left hand side of the left hand monitor. One option, I guess would be to reconfigure things with the 24" as the primary screen, but to the left of the MBP, if you want the dock on the left. Probably not what you want for other reasons, but at least it would get the dock where you want it.
Another option might be to try the third party shareware application "Dock-it" , which allows you to create your own configurable "docks" in various locations. THis actually allows you to choose which monitor you want to locate any particular dock on, and allows placement on the sides of either or both. see http://www.gideonsoftworks.com/dockit.html
I'd been thinking about suggesting this app to Brett, too, but couldn't find the link at the time. I've been playing with it a bit since , and it certainly has some useful possibilities. The docks it creates are a little less intuitive than the Apple one, and a bit fussier to add things to, though.
Cheers

How to deal with tiny text size on the display, especially in email?

I got a Macbook a week ago. I have been using a Windows laptop for about 5 years. Before that I had a couple of Mac desktops.
All in all I am very happy with the Macbook. I haven't had any of the problems which have come up in these forums, unexpected shutdown, bad DVD drives, etc. One thing I love about mine which I had not seen mentioned before I got it is that the Macbook (or mine anyway) is absolutely whisper quiet. I cannot hear the hard drive doing anything. My Dell laptop sounds like a construction site in comparison.
The main issue that is vexing me has to do with the high-res, small-size display. The combination of those two factors means that the text size onscreen is often so small that even with reading glasses I have serious eyestrain.
Back on my Dell this was a lot easier to deal with. In Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, there are very simple settings in the menus to make text sizes better. And this is really important -- those text sizes are remembered after you close and restart the program.
So far as I can tell, that is not true (in general) on the Mac. I find this shocking, since Apple makes such a big deal about the simplicity and usability of the Mac.
Specifically, in Safari I went into preferences and reset the fonts. A little more complicated than in Internet Explorer but it basically works alright.
With Apple Mail, though, it is really troublesome. There is no remember-able setting to increase the text size for viewing (that I can find). And the on-screen size of 12 point text in an incoming email in Apple Mail is just absurdly small. It makes me wonder if Apple is taking bribes from the American Opthalmology Association. This is going to ruin my eyesite pronto.
Of course I can hit Command-+ several times when viewing each email to increase the text size to a readable size. But what a pain.
Is there a way to make those settings rememberable?
Otherwise I like Apple Mail. But I really prefer not to have to hit 6 keystrokes when looking at each email just to get it to a reasonable size.
I looked at the help files for Mozilla Thunderbird. They seem to indicate that program works the same way.
How about Eudora? Any others? Any suggestions much appreciated.
thanks

Hi Jeff, thanks for your careful attention and your comment.
But I have to point out you've missed what I'm talking about.
In OE, in the View menu (right on the menu bar, not under Tools>Options) there is a setting called "Text Size" which allows you to set the text size for viewing and composing (independent of sending). That makes it very easy to make the text easier to read on small screens. It does not "change the appearance of the formatted text so that it no longer corresponds to the intent of the sender". It merely makes the text bigger or smaller, like a magnifying glass.
Via email I had some back and forth today with another poster here discussing this. You might be interested to see the email he sent me in which he included both Helvetica 12 and Helvetica 14. I took a screenshot of the email he sent me (from Apple Mail). When I read this email in Apple Mail with the "Message Font" set to Arial 18 (which is the size I need it set at for readability), Helvetica 14 is displayed at a smaller size than Helvetica 12.
screenshot here: http://www.pbase.com/paulduke/image/64910338/original
That's weird.
Here's a test I did, and this is what really matters to me.
I sent two emails from Windows/Outlook Express. For one I set the default composing font to Arial 12. For the other I set the default composing font to Arial 18.
When I downloaded and read these emails in Apple Mail, sure enough, the Arial 18 font appears much bigger than the font in the Arial 12 mail.
Then I did the reverse. I set the "Message Font" in Apple Mail prefs to Arial 12. Sent an email.
Then I changed the "Message Font" to Arial 18 in prefs and sent another email.
Then I downloaded both these emails into Outlook Express.
On OE, font size is displayed exactly the same in both emails.
So that's good -- I know that Apple Mail, whatever the setting in "Message Font", is sending some sort of "standard" font size. (By the way, I have Apple Mail set to send Rich Text Format mail). My correspondent tells me that Apple Mail doesn't send "true" HTML mail, and Outlook Express does, so perhaps that explains this.
Okay, no big deal. But if I were a graphic designer and I wanted to know for sure that my carefully crafted email styles were getting through, I might be going bonkers because of this.
But I'm not a graphic designer, and for the moment my concerns are assuaged.
And I accept the wisdom of your advice to "go native". I'm trying, I'm trying...

I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board?

As i had said, I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board? Is there a Fn key combo i'm missing or is the issue more serious then i realize? any and all help and hints would be greatly apprichiated, thanks in advance.

The PowerBooks have an F-key that toggles mirrored and extended mode. My PB is loaned out right now but I think it was f7. The keycap has an icon on two overlapping rectangles, as I recall.
EDIT: Yes! Found a pdf of the PB manual it shows F7 is the toggle:

I am getting an error encountered problem with the display driver for my Photoshop CS5 extended

I have Windows 7 and have used CS5 extended with no problems for quite a while now.
Last week I started up CS5 and received the error:
"Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturers website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
"Please close program and uninstall and re-install if problem persists"
I was able to edit, however when I went to save my work it would not do so. The following error came up.
"Could not complete the command because the extension could not be loaded"
"Could not save a copy as .....because of a program error"
I checked to make sure I have the latest driver, I also uninstalled and re-installed the program and I am still getting the errors.
Can anyone help with this?
