FCPX - Range Selection in Compositing Opacity

I have selected a range in the Compositing Opacity (video animation) section of an image. After selecting, I tried to drag down the top line of the yellow box to reduce the opacity but it won't drag. It doesn't turn into the crosshair but remains as an arrow. Help!

Hard to post screenshots because I need to show the cursor in the image but I need the mouse to do the screenshot but here is the first step
As soon as I put the mouse on the top horizontal line of the yellow rectangle, the entire rectangle turns into a thin yellow vertical line and as soon as I take the mouse away from the line, it disappears completely.

Set range selection on a clip using "X" not working!

So I just downloaded FCPX this afternoon and am trying to select a range on a clip in the Event Browser to then drag that selection down to the Timeline. On a 20 second clip, I press the "I" at 7 seconds in, then I press "O" at 14 seconds. That's the part of the clip I want. So then the FCPX Online User Guide tells me to do this:
In the Event Browser or the Timeline, move the skimmer (or the playhead) over a clip and press X.
Final Cut Pro sets the range selection start and end points at the clip start and end points.
Note: To use this X key method with connected clips or clips in a connected storyline, move the pointer directly over the clip and press X.
BUT, when I press X, it discards my "I" and "O" points and puts the yellow selection box around the entire clip again! It's very frustrating. Please help me, what am I doing wrong, or is this a bug? I'm up against a deadline and this is preventing me from moving forward because it won't "store" or remember, I don't know what to call it, my in and out points and the yellow bounded selection range on the clip!
Thank you!
Paul

Huh? Tom, thank you, but I'm not supposed to use the manual? I desperately need a User Guide. Is there one? And you did not explain what X does then, or what I am supposed to do? If the X does not do what that manual says, then how do I set the In and Out points on the clip?
Confused,
Paul

How to make two Range Selection at the same time?

In a single clip, at the same time, in two locations, I would like to have Range Selection. Then I would like to switch between the two and play within the range one after the other immedeately. Is this possible? Thanks.

You can mark multiple range selections in a clip by clicking and dragging with the Command key down – or marking in and out points with Shift+Command.
I don't know what you mean when you say "at the same time".
Then I would like to switch between the two and play within the range one after the other immedeately. Is this possible? Thanks.
Forward slash plays betweeen the in and out. The only way I know to play them one after the other "immediatelly" is to edit the two selections to the timeline.

Multiple Range Selection for field Material in CS14

Hi friends ,
Is it possible to make multiple range selection for material field in tcode CS14 [used to compare primary and secondary BOM] i have made it ZCS14.
if i make matnr2 to matnr2-low
but my doubt is it feasible solution
please through some light on this
regards
soorya

Dear Soorya,
What's your requirement? is that to compare the Alternative BOM's for multiple materials at the same time?
If it's going to be for comparing one more alternative for the same material,then it's a good report.
As per to my knowledge if the report is going to be for a list of materials Alternative BOM's means I dont
think whether it will be a fast(time wise) report.
Check & revert back.

Date Range Selection in Query Templates

Re: Date Range Selection in Query Templates
Posted: Feb 15, 2007 6:43 AM in response to: Muzammil Ahamed Reply E-mail this post
Hi Muzammil,
In data range section you can have multiple options like setting start datetime and end datetime.. And you can set the shift (or) time period and also the format of the time periods.
Primarily we use the start date and end date querying to fetch data between two time labels. I can explain this one with example..
You have batch production table with columns Production Time, Batch Id, Production Qty. Then you want all the details between the 02/02/2007 to 05/02/2007.
Solution :
1.Map 02/02/2007 with Start date.
2.Map 05/02/2007 with end dare.
Now these two become the variables [SD] and [ED].
Now you have mentioned the date range, but you need to mention for which column these things to be applied. For that
3.In Query tab enter Production Time column name in Date column at the bottom.
Now you have written query like Select * from batch prodcution where production time > 02/02/2007 and production time < 05/02/2007.
4. Even those values you mapped (SD and ED) you can change from the front page through Java script.
Like wise you have so many other advantages also.
If you have any other specific doubt let me know.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Color range selection + layer styles

Hello--
Help me if you can!
I have had it on good authority (my photoshop instructor) that color range selection hasn't been working correctly for some time.
I'm using CS2, version 9.0.2 on an IMac os X version 10.5.8.
I am often working with multiple layers that are not similar at all. When I have one layer active and do a color selection, it may also select the color range on inactive layers. Then, if I do a fill, for example, it may affect areas on other layers that were inadvertantly color selected. I know there are ways to ask photoshop to perform a function on all layers, but I don't see this as an option or setting with color range selection. I had started to assume it was sort of like crop, which affects all layers, but when I asked, my teacher says it should only be selecting/affecting the layer that is active.
I found I can deal with this by 'closing the eyes' (making non-visible) the other layers...but that is a hassle and sometimes hides exactly what I need to see.
Then noticed, just lately, that when I use a layer style, it is no longer showing up on my layer palette. Maybe I don't understand correctly, but I thought any layer style addition would show up on the palette under the name of that layer. If I happen to remember that a particular layer used a layer style, I can still click on the layer styles icon and alter it, but it isn't displaying on the layer palette any more--so I cannot toggle or discard the effect simply, and it is hard to know why a layer looks the way it does without that information.
Could be I'm corrupted and need to deinstall/reinstall? Is there something I'm missing about these functions , or something I accidentally changed? I would really appreciate any help or information.

Yes your instructor is wrong, it always selects visible pixels, and always has. You can however create a selection before you go into Color Range, and it will only work within that selection though.
If you want Color Range to work in precisely the same way as it always did in the old versions you need to make sure that you ..
• Highlight a non masked layer and
• Uncheck the somewhat bizarrely entitled "Localised Color Clusters" checkbox
The changes to Color Range happened a few versions ago, to my memory it was with CS4 . The main improvement was that they made it more powerful with the capability to produce better more refined selections. They also unfortunately made the daft mistake of making the command work DIFFERENTLY depending on whether you have a masked or a non masked layer selected. This is not very logical really because it just causes confusion, and doesn't really achieve anything constructive in my opinion. No one who knows what they are doing wants to modify an existing mask using Color Range.

How to do range selection for connected clips?

How to do range selection for connected clips? Whenever I press I or O, it only selects the primary storyline. I want select a portion of the connected clip and trim it.

If you're using the 10.1.x, and if you set the playhead, so that the circle is over the connected clilp (you don't even need a range selection OR have the clip selected) you can type Option - [ to trim from the beginning of the clip to the playhead; you can type Option - ] to trim from the playhead to the end; or if you do set a Range selection, you can type Option - \ (backslash) to trim both ends off the clip preserving the range selection.
If that circle isn't over the connected clip you require (perhaps you have a stack of clips) then you will need to click on the clip you need to have selected for the trim operation.

About Date Range Selection in Contributor Recognition Program- List

Hello SCN,
Happy that we have a classified date range selection like Year wise, Contest period wise and also with date range in the Top Contributors list. However earlier we had a luxury to see the point classified as "All Time Contribution". I personally feel to get back this option as well in the list.
Dear SDNers share your suggestion on this.
Thanks,
SaNv....

Hi,
If you want the user to select the date directly rather than entering, you need not to have a dropdown menu in WAD. Directly go to the query which you have selected for the object in WAD, there create a variable with calendar. Put it mandatory, so that the user selection of the date will be mandatory. The variable will be automatically be available when you execute the template inn the browser.
Assign points if this helps u.

Thanks for your input.

You will need to use union report, and you would have fours union's in this report.
Union - 1: Data from 1st Date Range
Union - 2: Data from 2nd Date Range
Union - 3: Variance Calculation
Union - 4: Percentage Variance Calculation.
If the date's are coming from the same field, use cast function to use the same column twice in your prompts. Apply filters on each union as needed.
Thanks.

When I detach my audio do I have to include that in range selection when exporting clip?

So I usually export the clip I want to share by Range selecting it and then exporting the range selected part. I detached the audio and cannot seem to grab the audio file underneath the regular clip to export with the rest. How can I get that detached audio in the range selected part or will it just go along too even if it is not in the yellow range selected part?

FCP exports everything in the range, vertically as well as horizontally.

'Range selection' stuck on

Hi there, the 'range selection' tool seems to be stuck on which means I cant choose 'select', 'position' or add in and out points. The dropdown menu for the tool shows the 'range selection' option highlighted with a dull orange. I have tried to change it with the menu bar and shortcut keys but nothing works. Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

Don't know whether this will help but corrupt preferences can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

Removing a selection area from a color range selection...

I have an icon I am working with and I have used the color range selection tool to select the background however there are some pixels that were selected that are actually on the inside of the icon itself. I want to remove that selected area. I had do I remove the selected are inside the icon? What about adding pixels to the selection area? How would that be done?

Good day!
The shift- and alt-key usually allow Selection tools to be used to add or subract from an existing Selection.
Could you post the image itself?
Because I suspect in a case like this it would be bette to work with a Selection based on channel/s. Maybe as the basis for a Solid Color Layer.

Color range selection preview

I'm at a new job with a new iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4) and CC. I like using the "color range" selection tool in Photoshop, but I cannot figure out how to make the selected area just show as a marquee area - I don't want it to show as White Matte/Black Matte, etc. - JUST as a marqueed area, with my 4c image still visible. Ideas?

I just have to ask - why?
Once you commit by pressing OK you get your marquee. But the purpose of the selection preview is to show you precisely what will be selected, and a marquee doesn't do that. It would defeat the whole purpose of a preview. This would be easier to answer if we knew what you're trying to do.
