Fit filter length to match layer length?

Hi,
If I drop new filter from Library it's length will match to layer length, but if I duplicate filter from another layer and want it to match another layer length, is there some trick to do that?
Thanks!

Nope, duplicating a filter or behavior will keep it's duration, you'll need to trim it - keyboard shortcuts make this process pretty quick.

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

IMAGE Length to fit music LENGTH

I've been having a miserable time getting my images in a slideshow in iMovie to "fit" the length of the music so they both end at the same time. Usually this involves a very intricate dance that involves setting the time of each image and sometimes doing a manual calculation.
Oftentimes I have been have a buggy problem of changing all the images' lengths at once - or to get the length of time to stick because they seem to revert back to the original time that was set for the image (which is a real pain).
I just bought Aperture. Is this possible to do in Aperture? Is there mac software that will let me do this easier? Is there something buggy with my system or do others have a hard time with this? I have slideshows I would like to post but I can't finish them because I can't change the length of the images display...
Thanks.

There's an option in the slideshow setting in Aperture 3 to "Fit slideshow to main audio track". That should make things easier for you to set up.

Filter option in Matching Fields

Hi,
When right click on Matching fields, there is Filter in import Manager. Can anyone let me know, how that Filter related to Matching Fields records please?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lahari

Hi Lahari,
Filtering narrows down both the source and destination record sets, but with slightly different effects, as follows:
Source Side i.e. In Match records tab narrows down the set of source records so that those that do not meet the filtering criteria can be excluded from the import.
Destination i.e. In matching fields tab narrows down the set of destination records, excluding those that do not meet the filtering criteria from record matching.
The filter is inclusive, and expands the set of records on which you can perform import operations to those that do meet the filtering criteria.
For more information please refer to the below link
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/12036df94c3e92e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]
Go to Matching Records -> Records Matching Operations -> Setting the Record Filtering Criteria

Error 'window SRID does not match layer SRID' despite using Index MBR

Hey!
I'm trying to run the following query:
SELECT count(*)
FROM mytable
WHERE SDO_FILTER(geom, (SELECT sdo_root_mbr FROM user_sdo_index_metadata WHERE sdo_index_name='IDX_GEOM_MYTABLE') ,'querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE';
The index I'm querying in the Subquery is the geometry index for mytable.geom, i.e. I'm doing a spatial query on IDX_GEOM_MYTABLE with it's own geometry index'es MBR. And I get this:
"window SRID does not match layer SRID"
How can that happen?
Regards,
Christian

John's right. If I see correctly what you're trying to do you could also do this:
SELECT count(*)
FROM mytable
WHERE SDO_FILTER(geom, SDO_TUNE.EXTENT_OF(mytable,my_SDO_column) ,'querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE';
If the Index was built correctly and is not partitioned this should give you the same result.

Error: Window SRID does not match layer SRID (Spatial)

Hi,
I have successfully created an Oracle View with the following SQL:
SELECT * FROM ZKGJI.L1100_CESTE c WHERE SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE(c.GEOM, SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(425150,95800, 437400,105000)), 'distance=1') = 'TRUE';
When trying to get the preview of the data of the created Oracle View, I am getting following:
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine ORA-13208: internal error while evaluating window SRID does not match layer SRID operator ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD_10I", line 333
The SRID for the fo ZKGJI.L1100_CESTE is '5000000' in Oracle DBMS 11g. How can I set the SRID for the window in the above mentioned SQL?
Dejan

The solution SQL is
SELECT * FROM ZKGJI.L1100_CESTE c WHERE SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE(c.GEOM, SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, 5000000, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(425150,95800, 437400,105000)), 'distance=1') = 'TRUE';

OLAP universe filter with pattern matching.

Hi,
I tried to create both a qaaws and a webi report which contained a filter with pattern matching on an olap universe . When I ran this it took too long to be usable. I found note 1500666 which says that pattern matching is not supported in MDX and to use BEX query variables instead.
I have created a bex query with a variable which has "Variable Represents" set to "Selection Option". I can run this query and using the search option I can do a pattern match search. I have built a universe based on this query but the filter that gets created automatically in the universe uses a "Between" operator.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the definition of the filter in the universe so that it does a pattern match search and if so how?
The end result is that I would like to be able to do a pattern match search on the text description of a BW employee object.
Thanks
Quentin.

It would be better if you post the Filter definition here...
And why don't you do Pattern matching at BO query panel level??
Where you can find Matches pattern operator to do same stuff.
Thank You!!

What is the setting to fit in a DVD5 (single layer)6 hours of video?

What is the setting in Compressor to fit in a DVD5 (single layer)6 hours of video?
No matter the quality in video or audio, just it has to be the same frame rate than the original 29.97 fps.
I've tried different settings but as mpg2 (2mbp) just allow me about 4 hours with AC3 audio, and as MPG1 fits the amount of time I need, but Toast recompress it.
Thanks for the feedback
R

Thanks for the support.
The video material is to review and correct script translations (Korean-spanish audio dubbing) that's why I don't need the most quality i cant get. I need random access to the material that's why I can't use a VHS in LP mode.
And in Fact I use a very handy external DVD recorder and yes it allows more than 6 hours in a DVD+R. But I stopped doing this workflow because You have to be checking the transfer because sometimes the Final Cut drops frames in playback.(I screwed 4 hours of work when it recorded about an hour of a single frame dropped in my lunchtime)
But I wonder if there is a workaround with compressor to do this task, i think not.
Cleaner allowed me to do the mpg2 at the data rate i Needed. And finish the task with Toast

Best software for fitting full length movies on to DVD?

I have Toast 6 Titanium, which i find is a great program for all my burning needs. However, recently i've been wanting to burn a few movies i have downloaded. The problem seems to be that full length movies rarely fit on to DVD. I don't really understand it as most DVD's say they can hold around 4GB of data and the movies i download are rarely over 1GB. It's just that burning them as a DVD Movie disk seems to take up an awful lot of room.
I heard there was software out there designed to compress it all down and squeeze the whole thing on to one disk and i was just wondering if that is true and which software applications out there are best for this?
Many thanks,
Steve.

I got Toast 10 just to check out that feature. Unfortunately 'Fit To DVD' is not under the DVD-Video burning section of Toast. Fit To DVD is only available as a function for copying pre-existing DVD's, I'm trying to burn a DVD from an AVI file i've downloaded from the net. I can't believe no one out there seems to know of a program that could help me out here.

Any way to automatically fit slideshow length to music?

I've recently finished my first FCE video production - a highlight video for the high school basketball team. It got rave reviews, and I couldn't have done it without the support from this group. Thanks.
My next project is a slideshow for my graduating senior. Mom has "done all the hard work" (scanning), and now it's my turn. I've looked in the User's Guide, and poured through the forum here, but haven't found an answer to my question.
Is there a way to adjust the duration of the pictures so they end when the music ends? I suppose I could manually divide the length of the song by the number of pictures, set the duration in preferences, and then re-import the pictures, but is there an easier way? I've seen other video editing software that will adjust it automatically.
Also, does anyone have a primer on creating slideshows with FCE?
Graduation isn't until June, so we've got some time. Thanks.

I saw a podcast on how to do this. I couldn't actually find it, but here's the essential parts.
1. Put your music track down.
2. Create a slug with a length the match the music.
3. Play the music in real time and cut the slug with the razor blade tool (I don't know the short-cut that why I was trying to find the podcast, maybe someone else here knows the short-cut). The example was the cut the slug to match the beats of the music.
4. At the end of the song you will have the slug chopped into lots of slugs.
5. Replace each slug with a picture (I think there is a batch way of dropping in all of them at once, but again I don't remember the exact steps). Personal preference, but you might want the first slug to be a title instead of your first picture.
6. Change transitions, filters, movement for each picture if you want.
I saw the podcast from iTunes and it dealt with audio syncing (search for Final Cut as that's what I originally searched to find it). Since they wanted it right on the beat, they adjusted each slug's break slightly to land right on the beat by comparing it to the waveform in the audio.

How can I add more than one song to fit the length of the slideshow

I would like to add more than one song to my slideshow. I do not want to repeat the same song more than once. Is there a way to add more than one song to a slideshow?

Great - unfortunately it is not intutative - but simple - once you know the secret - and at least in iphoto '08 it acts like you can select multiple songs using the command key but it only plays the first one

Re-size Layer with Smart Filter without affecting Smart Filter aspect of the layer

I made a wax seal on photoshop with a lot of embossment, bevelment and a Smart Filter. It's done and I just need to make it smaller so it fits well on my certificate. When I resize it (Ctr + T) It pops up a messgae that reads:
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Smart Filters applied to layers contained in this group will be turned off temprarily while the transform is being previewed. They will be applied after commiting the transform."
OK
[] Don't show again
I click OK and I re-size the layer with free transform, and then hit enter. The Layer is resized but my Smart Filter which cretaes a wavy affect around the seal is totally distorted.
How do re-size my layer with smart filter without affecting the smart filter aspect of the layer

Right-click on the name of the Smart Object layer in the Layers panel to get the menu shown below. Pick "Convert to Smart Object" to encapsulate the SO and its Smart Filter and Layer Styles inside a new SO which can be resized without changes in appearance.

Pass the filter to my physical layer view..

Hi,
My requirement is i need to pass the filter to my view (Physical Layer view).
Suppose if have a report with 4 or 5 prompts and 1 prompt am taking from that view (Physical Layer view).after running the report the query will be :
select a,b from x,(view (Physical Layer view)) where join conditions and where
prompt1='some value',prompt2='some value',prompt3='some value',prompt4='some value',prompt5='some value' (my prompts) (my prompts)
But my requirement is
select a,b from x,(view (Physical Layer view where prompt 5='some value')) where join conditions and where
prompt1='some value',prompt2='some value',prompt3='some value',prompt4='some value' (my prompts)
Hope you understand this..

Hi,
You want to pass the value from your dashboard Prompt to the physical layer view.
This can be achieved by using Request variable that you have the option of creating at the prompt level.
And then create session variable with the same name in RPD and now use that variable in the view created in the RPD physical layer in the where condition by calling the session variable.
Let me know if you need more info or if it does not work out for you.
Thanks.

Quick filter misses many matches. Why?

The Quick Filter is missing many matches, even for email created minutes before. Oddly, this only seems to be happening in "Sent" folders. Folders have 500 to 1000 messages. Inbox has many more and the quick filter does seem to work there. Quick filter misses matches in the body text only. Matches subject and other fields correctly. Does not miss all matches in the body ... older messages appear to be matched more often.
I tried normal search and it does find all the expected messages. I also tried rebuilding the global database with no change in behavior.
Any suggestions?

Adding text as a *filter*, not a new layer.

Hi there. Anyone know if there is a filter out there that allows me to add a bit of text to a shot as a filter, rather than having to use the Text generator and use a new layer?
I'm thinking of something along the lines of the Timecode generator filter or 'Viewfinder' filter, but just for text and without the numbers/viewfinder frame. I just want to add static text to a whole bunch of shots without needing to go to a new layer or messing around with nesting. TIA.
