External Link to a point on the timeline

I would like to find a way to link to a specific frame in the
_root time line from an external link. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Mike

The way to do that would be to retrieve the target -frame as
as URL-variable (the stuff behind the ? in some URLs) and then
transmit it to flash via server-side logic or java-script as a
flash var.
Then your flash can check for the existence an/or value of
the target-frame variable and jump to the desired frame or
not!

How do I find a previously passcode to link a wireless keyboard (Model A101urs6) to a Mac Power Book G4 running 10.5.8. The keyboard was linked at one point in the past, but then not used. When I am trying to hook it up now, it requires the passcode.

"jump" points on the timeline

I'm kind of new to iMovie, and I'm working on a project where I'd like to set points on the Timeline where the movie will automatically jump to on a certain keystroke during playback. I'd like to be able set up several within the same file. Does anyone know of a way to do this, with iMovie or any other Mac application?
I'm trying to sync prerecorded film to live music (with fluctuating tempo) as closely as possible, so I need to set up several points where a significant event in the music will be matched exactly to a complementary event onscreen.
Thanks very much!

Hi Martin
this could help you starting. For the case you can't open LV 8.2- VIs, i attach the BD- picture.

Open swf in new windows at specific points on the timeline

Let me start by saying that I am a newbie to Flash. I have created a Flash site and I want to create links that would open a SWF in a new window at specific points on its' the timeline. How can I do this?

It depends what version of actionscript you're using, but if you are familiar with linking to other pages using buttons, you use the same linking code, getURL (AS2) or navigateToURL (AS3), and specify "_blank" as the window parameter in the arguments for whichever you use. So if you are using AS2, then in your timeline where you want a new window to open you would have....
getURL("yourfile.html", "_blank");

How do I disable a button up to a certain point on the timeline?

I have a series of buttons on the screen.
Is there anyway to have the buttons displayed for the whole length of the timeline, but disabled up until a certain point on the slide.
For example I want to disable the NEXT button for 4 secs, preventing the user clicking on it up to that point.
Right now, I hide the button for 4 sec - but this is not very elegant.
Any suggestions greatfully received !!

Hi there
In addition to what Lieve described, I'll also advise of how I managed to do this.
Create an image of the button in a disabled state. That provides a nice visual cue that the button is disabled. Then insert the image in the same screen location as the button. On the timeline, present the image for the time the button is disabled. Then configure the image to disappear and at the same point have the button itself appear.
Worked a treat for my project.
Cheers... Rick

Cant open external links and multiple instances of the same profile.

I have multiple firefox profiles.
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time.
I use microsoft outlook and see an external link, I click it wishing firefox to open it in the default or new browser. It does not and says "FIrefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Firefox is running fine.
How can I open external links with a profile based setup?
Also, how can I open multiple instances of the same profile? I find that if I click and drag a tab to another monitor, it opens a new "instance" or browser window.

You say
''I have multiple firefox profiles. <br />
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time. ''
So you will have discovered ''-no-remote'' Note NOT to use that on the default browser; profile, only on secondary profiles.

You will NOT be able to open multiple instances of the same profile, clone the profile if necessary.
If you are trying to run multiple Webmail accounts in one profile then you may well find the webmail is identifying and setting the user account that is opened. Use a Private Browsing window to get round that and open a second account.

Can I zoom in on a specific point on the timeline

There must be a way for me to zoom in on the timeline without losing my place everytime while doing so.
Is there a button I can press while zooming in that will keep the scrubbing point within my view of the timeline.
I really hope that made sense...

CTI is what they used to call it: current time indicator.
If you hold alt and scroll with the mouse it will zoom in on the playhead.

Removing between and in and out point in the timeline

I don't usually post on forums but this has got me quite perplexed:
How do you remove a chunk of media between and in and out point in the FCPX timeline?
It's can't be as hard as it seems to do this task that you have to do all the time. I have a 2 hour 3 camera shoot and I want to remove quite a few 2, 3 minute chucks all through the show. I can't find any way to easily remove these chunks. I know there's no real in and out point in the FCPX timeline anymore but there HAS to be some way to easily remove all the video and audio between two points !!!
I feel really dumb! The answer can't be to make a compound clip as that sure is a pain just to remove something from the timeline. And to blade each individual track means I have to blade at least 8 or 12 things just to remove it!
I have to be missing something. Thanks for any input.

Thanks Tom.
I'll have between 3 and 6 layers at any point. I've tried command B but the problem with that is it only puts a cut on the primary storyline. It will cut more than that if I select all the layers. By doing that it's like a 5 or 6 step process to delete chunks of media in the timeline. I can't believe there isn't an easier way than that.
But what makes it worse as I have a long piece of audio only media that is for the whole show. Its a connected clip to the primary storyline. when making edits with command B and then deleting what is between the edits this main audio gets deleted from the edit forward. IT's like this audio becomes a connected clip right after the edit when command B is made. it looks connected to the next clip after the command B but it deletes when I delete the chunk between the command B.
This is so silly that I can't easily delete media from the timeline in this way. It's such a simple thing!

After Effects CS6 render problem with exactly one frame or exactly at one point in the timeline.

I've recently tried to render a project in After Effects CS6 but everytime I render the render fails at exaclty one frame or a time in the timeline, in this frame or point in timeline I have a composition with the following effects: Twixtor Pro and inside that composition I have the video with the following effects: Motion Tiles and Wave Warp. I rendered the project in H.264 format with a 8 bitrate. I tried to fix this even by trying to render the project as a TIFF Sequenece but the render keeps failing and the final output is only the part of the video until that exact frame. I have caps lock on to try to speed up my render. Any help would be appreaciated and let me know if you need more information and i'll try to give you more.

Set your work area to about 5 frames before the fail and 5 frames after and see if you get a fail.
If you get a fail then start turning off a layer at a time until you find the culprit. Let us know what's going on there.
A screenshot of the timeline with all properties revealed may also give us some ideas.

Can I link 2 superimposed clips in the timeline & save it to the browser?

Hi,
I have created a superimposed split screen in my Timeline using two video clips. Can I link these two video clips together and save them in the Browser?
My goal is to be able to load it as one clip in the Viewer.
Thanks,
Humbucker

My timeline has many edited tracks. My browser has many clips but there is >only one item named "sequence." Nothing happens when I click on it.
The Sequence represents what's in the current Timeline, it's already open. If the Timeline/Canvas was not on the screen double clicking the icon would make it appear.
Right click in a blank area in the Browser and select *New Sequence* (make sure it matches the other one) and another Sequence appears.
Double click the new one and it will appear in the Timeline with nothing in it.
Drag your other Sequence onto the Canvas Overlay that say Insert.
You now have a Sequence with one clip that is a composite of all the bits in the original Sequence.
As mentioned, change the names to identify them or you'll end up with a bunch of Untitled 1, Untitled 2 etc. making life difficult.
You can also copy a Sequence and paste it into another Project if you like. Essentially Sequences can be used like clips.

Export external links and store them through the package function

Is possibile to export external links (like www.xxxxxxxxx.com) like images, fonts, source files in general trough package function.
Or are there other ways to do it? We need to collect all links that we inserted in our application.
Many thanks!

Loading an animation at a specific point in the timeline?

Hello,
I am trying to find out if it is possible to start/load the animation based on a specific point in its timeline? The animation I am creating is a parallax animation based on mouse position and I am trying to load it in the middle of the animation and based on the users mouse position will play forward or backwards from that point. Is this doable?
Thank you

Hi, Bullvinne Designs-
What you'll want to do is to stick some initialization code into the compositionReady event from the stage. This will execute after the runtime loads and before the user sees the stage.
Thanks,

Shortcut key to move the playhead to an in-point on the timeline?

Hi just made the switch from FCP 7. Is there a shortcut key to move the playhead to an inpoint on the timeline? In FCP it is the right arrow.
Tiny little problem but makes all the difference in terms of speeding up the edit.
Thanks
Josie

Here's a full list of the ones that come with the program. You can customize many of them as you wist also ... instructions at the bottom of the page.

To go to the next/previous clip from "on" the timeline is up/down arrows ... if that's what you wanted.

Referencing the wrong edit point in the timeline.

Hey guys and gals,
I have a strange issue that keeps popping up.
I cut a shot into my sequence and watch it. It looks fine.
The next thing I know I place a lower thirds GRFX or sometimes 'nothing' (just render the piece) and the next thing I know the shot is shifted to a totally different point within the clip.
I have to either recut it in, or slide it manually to the right point...and even then sometimes it dtill references the wrong in-point.
Any idea how to bypass or correct this situation?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

A clip that shifts once it is placed within a sequence has defective media. That might mean it was shot or captured or transcoded improperly. Or it might be a bad drive or you just may not know what you're doing.
You say "render" in a way that suggests your sequence does not match the media, or the other way around.
You imply a text clip causes the media to shift. This is not likely so you'd need to perform some tests to prove that for us.
