Extent of a Transition

Please how to make a transition longer? The method shown in the offline help does not work: there are two values, one at the bottom (in the gear), this would be the right length, and one above the stripe with the clip (i.e. 0.2s), this remains short.
~k.

What means the 0.2s in the picture, and what means a value of 1s in „transmissions adjustment“, and how to make the transmission of a practicable length? To change the value in the window behind the gear does not affect the preview.

Applying Transitions to multiple clips

I would love to apply a dissolve to many clips at once... can i? how?
also, i want to save the DIP TO COLOR DISSOLVE to WHITE but it's not saving it. it's always Black and then i have to adjust it manually.
is it possible to save the transition to white?
thanks!!!

An alternative is to create a second Dip to color dissolve transition that always shows up with white as default colour, even if you lose your favourite folder content (i.e. trashing preferences).
I changed for you the default color to white in the " Dip to color (White) " plugin downloadable below:
[www.videonline.co.uk/DipTo_ColorWhite.fcfcc.zip]
After downloading it drag it to Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support /Final Cut Pro System Support / Plugins folder.
Restart FCP and you'll have it showing up in FCP dissolve transition folder with the name extention (White).

Best transition for same shot of talking head

With nothing to cut away to, what are the acceptable transitions for the same shot of a talking head (after editing out unwanted footage)?
I've seen jumpcuts in some movies, but they were used more as effects.
How do you pros do it for corporate gigs?

a quick mix is often acceptable as it clearly shows that it is another grab not connected to the first. this is honesty in journalism approach. another method is to use a white flash to hide the cut, simulating a camera flash to some extent) ... either 1 or 2 frames of solid white, or a cut to white then 3 frame fade to the next shot, or 2 frame fade out from the first shot and 2 frame fade back to the next
check out effects > video transitions > dissolve > dip to color dissolve
you can even try simulating a film flash by using the color corrector and keyframing the luminance levels
play around and see which loks best in your edit

Any chance of using my own pictures to transition through menus?

does anyone know how to add a picture to the transitions between Menu and Menu/track to the list of transitions in the inspector?
i am using the marque for my start menu. would like to use my own pictures to transition through between menu and menu and menu and track. any chance i can do that?
i've tried adding the pictures to the transitions folder in DVDSP app support .
and changing the extention. but still can't get it to work.
i'm creating the pictures in photoshop.
thanks
cb

Okay. i did go to the menu, and transitions in inspector tab.
for the start picture i picked the Marque (this is a template), then i want to transition into and through a picture i made in Photoshop and then the end image will be the submenu which in this case is the theater interior.
I'd also like to use that same picture to transition from the submenu choices to the different tracks (in this case 4 different tracks).
if i use a picture, and i put that picture into a file i create in Library/application support/DVDSP/cityscape folder (which is what i named the picture AND the folder), and that now comes up in the list of transitions in the inspector in DVDSP after i highlight the menu like you suggested, and i choose the picture for the transition, it seems that i cannot fade from first image to picture and fade back to last image which would be the submenu image.

How can I select just the clips, or just the transitions?

If I have a timeline with 50 or more clips (or still shots, in my case) with cross dissolves between each one, I would like to select just the clips, or just the transitions, but not both. How do I do this?
Why? I am creating a video with hundreds of stills and a few video clips, and occasiionally need to change the duration of all stills at the same time (from 3 seconds to 4, for example). Or, if I want all of the cross dissolves to last 1:15 instead of 1:00, it would be nice to select and change them all at once. However, in both cases, I can't figure out how to select all 50 without having to Command-click 50 times.
Any ideas you have will be appreciated.
Bart

To perform the same duration change on just the transitions (cross dissolves, in this example), this technique will work:
Open timeline index.
Enter "cross" in the search box (or whatever transition you're wanting to change).
Select all cross dissolves in list (click one, then type Command-A).
Click the time strip in the top of the timeline area.
All of the transitions in the list should now be selected in the timeline.
Control-D to change duration.
Enter new duration.
Hit Return.
I hope this saves someone all of the time I spent on it today. I'm still ahead, though, thanks to Tom's help. This saved litterally hundreds of Command-clicks.

Can not clear transition in MBP

I have a portable hard drive with a FCP 5.1.2 project on it. Most of this work is was done on an iMac G5. I can delete a cross dissolve transition just fine. However when I have this same project file running the same version of FCP on my Intel MBP, it will NOT delete the transition. It will remove the transistion from the timeline, but the transition is still there on playback! I noticed this same thing when playing with MBPs at the Apple store, but at the time I thought it was something with how the demo computers were set up. How do a delete a cross dissolve on a MBP? Whatever happen to platform independence?

Weird - I'll have to test it out on my MBP.
In the meantime try moving opacity up and down at the point where the transition used to be to force it to rerender and see if that makes it go away.

Transition Problems in Full Screen View

Hi.
I've created a Powerpoint presentation on the Bayeux Tapestry which I now want to convert to a PDF document so that I can add multimedia.
My Powerpoint presentation features photographs of a section the tapestry with each photograph placed on a separate slide. I've used the Powerpoint 'push left' transition to create a panoramic effect which creates the illusion that the tapestry is being scrolled from right to left as the viewer clicks through the presentation. It all works very well in Powerpoint as the slides butt up against each other in transition without any 'seam' between them.
I thought I could simply replicate the effect in Acrobat 9 by converting the presentation to PDF and selecting the 'push left' transition from Advance/Document Processing options then launching the document in full screen view. However, I've found that using a push left transition in Acrobat creates wacking great gaps between the pages as they scroll right to left: this absolutely ruins the whole effect.
As you can probably tell, I'm pretty much a newbie with Acrobat 9 (but not with other Adobe applications) and I can't work out for the life of me how to get around this problem. Is there someting simple that I'm overlooking on the full screen view options or perhaps in the Powerpoint conversion settings or do I have to start adjusting resolutions etc? Or maybe it's just the nature ofthe beast (do hope not)?
I'd be very grateful for any enlightenment or advice.
PS: Forgot to mention the Powerpoint was created in default landscape layout and hence so is the PDF.

Do you have the PDF version to fill the full screen and not leave borders? If you print to PDF (not create PDF), then a margin is added by default (as when you print to paper). The border can be reduced to 0, but that is an extra step with the print. As I recall, the PDF Maker (create PDF) does not include the margins. Thus the whole margin bit may be the issue.

Can I Select from table skipping extents linked with lost datafiles?

Hi~,
I need your help to recover my database.
I'm using oracle 9.2.0.8 at Fedora 3 with no-archive mode.
and I don't have any backup.
Last night, I experenced hard disk failure.
I tried OS-level recovery, but I lost some datafiles of tablespace.
anyway, I wanted to recover my database without data of lost datafiles.
so, I issued "alter database datafile offline drop" and
start oracle instance.
But, datafiles were not removed from dba_data_files view and
extents linked with lost datafiles were not removed from dba_extents view!
Selecting query of some table containing extents linked with lost data files,
I got "ORA-00376: file xxx cannot be read at this time" message.
So, my question is that..
HOW CAN I SELECT FROM THAT TABLE WITHOUT SCANNING EXTENTS LINKED WITH LOST DATA FILES?
Thanks.

Hi,
Without being in archivelog and without backup, one can't do any sort of recovery. That's why backups and archivelog are so so important.
The offline data file command never does actually drop the datafile. It merely indicates to the control file that now the said tablespace will also be dropped. This won't update any view that the files are not supposed to be used or shown to you anymore.
This is what documentation says about the recovery of the database in the NoARch mode,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/osrecov.htm#i1007937
You do need a backup in order to get those tables being read. Oracle doesn't have any feature which can offline/skip the missing extents for you and let you read the data without them.

Thank you for your Help!

You are running into database errors. You should refer to the database documentation on how to adjust the size your tablespaces. The online Designer installation guide will advise you as to the sizes of tablespaces you require.

Having problem with FCP 5.1.4 adding transitions. Just new to this app.

So I get 2 maybe 3 transitions set correct. After that none work properly. ie: lets go for the quicktime zoom transition. So as it zooms out it plays the first quarter of the 1st part of the transition in the zoom box. This is not correct it should be playing the second part of the transition. Anyway about 1/4 of the way through it does play the second half of the transition which is correct and plays the rest of it properly. It does the same for cross dissolve and all other transitions. I have trashed the preferences but that doesn't seem to help. I have also changed the preferences and that doesn't help. OS is 10.5.8; 6g of ram; powermac g5 quad core 2.5ghz;
Please if anyone can help.
Below I entered FCP 6 because 5 was not available.

Just to clarify, by "FCP 5 friendly source material," he means video files that are a format (codec) that FCP 5 supports. What FCP 5 supports can be found in the EASY SETUP list. If the format you are working with isn't there, say if your footage is H.264 or MP4 or some other web compressed format, FCP won't work properly. It needs to be in an editing codec if you want FCP 5 to work with it.
Also, you need to make sure that your sequence settings match the settings of the footage you are trying to edit. If you add a clip to the sequence, and immediately have to render, that's a big clue to say that something isn't right. You should edit without rendering at all.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu. Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured

Purchasing transitions (and/or creating ones in Motion)

I'm going to be doing a lot of work for a pretty straight-forward interview type TV show that is looking to spice up its transitions and are open to the idea of purchasing some to go beyond what FCP includes. I was looking at the ones from Eiperle and Eureka (both of which look good, are affordable, and can be used on multiple computers) and Sapphire. I'm wondering A) if there are others I should look into and B) which people recommend for what is essentially an Entertainment Tonight style show.
Also, I'm wondering if it is possible to create transitions in Motion that can be dropped into FCP (or better yet, if the templates, such as the 'frames/glass' one, can be saved without elements and dropped into FCP as a transition between clips)
Thanks for your help!

This link http://www.fxscriptreference.org/ doesn't work for me, it says:

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I really want to make my own scripts in FCP so can you check if this is the right link or if something else is wrong?

Caller ID not working on calls with an extention

Hi,
If i have a contact (john) with a number 212-555-1212 and he calls, the phone displays John. cool. If i have 212-555-1212;1234 where the ; is a wait command and the 1234 is the work phone extention so i can press it and it will auto send.... and John calls. it does not display John. It simply displays 212-555-1212. How can i change this?
M

OK, I reread your question and I did not answer it precisely above. You asked if John's extension is in your contacts list and a call comes in, it does not associate John's name with the incoming phone number.
Sorry I misinterpreted in my last post. I still do not believe it's possible.
Maybe a workaround would be to list both telephone numbers (one with the extension and one without) as separate numbers under the contact's name. One might be labelled "Work" and the second "Other".

FAQ: Revel Transition basics: How does this affect the way I use my Adobe software?

Q: How will this change the way I use my Elements software?
A: Once you have migrated your files from Photoshop.com to Revel, it will be no longer be possible to sync your photo and video files between your Photoshop Elements Organizer and Photoshop.com.
If you're using Photoshop Elements 11, you can share your JPEGs from the Elements Organizer to AdobeRevel.com.
If you’re using Photoshop Elements 10 or earlier version, you won’t be able to directly import from Revel or export to Revel.
Q: How will this change the way I use Photoshop.com?
A: Photoshop.com accounts will be remain accessible until the end of the transition period CLICK HERE to see dates and details, but once we begin moving your photos to Revel you will no longer be able to upload photos to your Photoshop.com account.
After the transition period CLICK HERE to see dates and details, all Photoshop.com accounts will be closed. The Photoshop.com website will remain live and continue to offer product information, trial software downloads, photo editing functionality, customer spotlights, tutorials, and other resources.

No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb.

Yoga 2 Pro no longer detects orientation/transitions and lid closing for sleeping

My Yoga 2 Pro used to detect orientation and transition with no problem and the Transition app would pop-up the notification for Tent mode or Tablet mode, etc.
Everything worked great... then, within last couple weeks, it stopped detecting closure of the lid to trigger sleep mode (though the screen would go black) and now I've also found that it has stopped detecting the different modes and will only operate in Laptop mode... no Tent mode, no Tablet mode, etc.
Now, to put it into sleep mode, I have to select it from the Start menu and then close the lid (it does detect reopening the lid and wakes up as usual).
Obviously not having the ability to use those other 3 modes kinda defeats the purpose and value of having a Yoga 2 Pro!
Suggestions welcome for research to aid in restoring this functionality...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Go to Control Panel >> Device Manager
There is Sensor devices tab there.
Can you post a screenshot of how that is looking?
One thing that you can try.
Switch off your laptop.
Disconnect power supply
Press power button for 30 seconds.
Then turn on and test.

Edit next extent size of the Cluster table

Hi Guys
I need to change the next extent size of the a table.
I ran se14 but i am not able to get into edit mode, because there is no button for edit mode.
Reason: Cluster table
Two questions:
1. Why there is no Edit button? Is it because this table doesnot exixt at DB level.
2. How can i change the next extent size for a Cluster table from sql prompt or from brtools if possible.
Information:
I am facing this issue only in DEV, QAS boxes, where as in Production its fine.
Regards
Ricky
Edited by: Ricky kayshap on Dec 9, 2008 3:52 PM

Hi,
Cluster Tables doesn't exist in DB, Because of that you can't make changes to extents at DB level.
if you experiencing some space issue. I woud suggest to check the underline Transparent tables and make changes to those.
hope this helps.
