Follow up question about image not looking good in canvas-Shane?

I guess this is a follow up question for Shane....
You wrote this in response to someone a year ago which helped me out.
Shane's Stock Answer #49 - Why is the quality different between what I see in the Viewer and what I see in the Canvas?
Well... the viewer is just that-- a viewer. It will display anything that fcp will recognize as usable video or graphics. The canvas is a viewer too, but at the pixel dimension specified by the settings of your project and sequence.
For example, if your graphic or footage is much higher resolution than your 720x480 DV sequence, FCP is interpolating down your file to fit the settings of the sequence. Usually this makes it look not so hot. DV is a 5:1 compression working with a 4:1:1 color depth. Your pristine picture images and graphics are being crushed.
Same with picture files. HIgh res pics now adopt the sequence settings and will render to those specs, and most likely they are not as high quality.
So, based on your answer, I made an HDV sequence, dropped my DVCPro50-NTSC footage and my tiffs into the sequence and now the stills look great. Is this an okay workaround or do you have another suggestion? I'm worried about this HD sequence taking too long to make a compressed QT from in the end.
Thanks!

Photo JPEG is a good option. But this all depends on what your final output will be. If you are going to make a DVD, then that is SD, so using an HD sequence setting makes no sense. Photo JPEG is good, but not realtime in FCP. DV50 or ProRes NTSC are good options.
Unless you are making an HD master...in which case ProRes 422 for HD is good

Follow-up question about forms and SharePoint Online

I asked a question about life after InfoPath earlier, and got a good answer:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fb23b3d9-8a09-4267-aab5-09929f6a3082/life-after-infopath-seeking-advice
After looking at all of the limitations of SharePoint Online, I'm wondering how developers are dealing with the limitations. Lets say you are asked to develop something that has complex logic, including fetching data from external web services, dynamically
displaying parts of a process to people depending on role, and ending up with a printable document. In our on-premises environment, InfoPath is well suited to this task, with some code behind for some things. Or, if not using InfoPath, we would use application
pages and workflow.
Neither of those are available in SharePoint Online, so what would you do?

Some things, such as the conditional display of content, can be done via JavaScript. More advanced items, such as integrating external web services would likely require a SharePoint "app". A SharePoint app is essentially a link to a separate site
that is running an asp.net web app (or PHP, or whatever). This asp.net site can do anything it needs with any web services, or conditional formatting, or anything. Because it's registered as a SharePoint app, it can also call back into the SharePoint site
and work with data. So, a SharePoint App could present the user with a robust form that simply sends the data back to a SharePoint list. The SharePoint app can also be surfaced on the SharePoint site itself in an iframe, so the user won't know that the form
is hosted by another server.
By the way, the ideas behind the app model permeate the entire SharePoint environment: instead of having the SharePoint server itself run all kinds of custom business logic, that workload is handled by other servers, so the SharePoint servers can be focused
on running the core bits of SharePoint. InfoPath puts a large load on the servers, so it's out. XSLT list views also put a load on the server, so they're also out. SSRS is an amazingly fantastic tool, but is not supported in the cloud (and there's no
alternative). Timer jobs, event handlers, workflow, and many other things have been re-architected to take the load off the SharePoint servers.

Question about iPod Notes

First of all, let me say that I'm not very 'techie' so if this is a stupid or naive question...please bear with me.
My question is about iPod notes. It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica). It also wraps earlier than at 80 characters like a .txt file should.
So basically...the note never looks the same on TextEdit (or whatever) as it does when you view it to your iPod.
I have been making a few eBooks to read on my iPod and -- just to make them look neater -- I would like to do a few things like centering titles, adding dividing lines, etc.
So I was hoping somebody could tell me how to set TextEdit (or whatever) so that a note will look the same on it as it does when viewed on the iPod so that I can edit the file. --Like, what is the exact font and size of the text on the iPod display and where does it wrap exactly (I figure it must wrap according to the size of the window, since a variable number of characters can go on a line w/ non-equal-spaced type).
Also...I figure that the file I edit would have to be a .rtf since the display is not in plain text, yet it says you can only put plain text files in the iPod notes folder. So...I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
Anyways...any help anybody out there can give me with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!

It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica).
Plain text means it does not have any special coding/characters in it such as Bold or Underscores or page breaks.
Plain text docs do not store anything except text. It does not specify a font. That is taken care of by whatever app you are using.
I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
You can put rtf in the Notes folder but the iPod will ignore any of the formatting.
You can use some html to format a bit as well as linking to other files/songs/photos.
Go here -> Guided by iPod and click on *iPod Notes Feature Guide* at teh bottom for a doc explaining the notes.
There are a few apps and web pages to put text docs into the correct size files.
Here's one -> http://www.ipod-notes.com/ (I haven't used it so no idea if it's any good or not).

Less dumb follow-up question about super/sub classes in WDJ?

This is a follow-up question to the question which Maksim answered in this thread:
Dumb question about super/sub classes in WDJ
Question:
Is there any kind of weird C++-like statement that you can put at the top of a WDJ module to force the module to interpret any reference to superclass A as a reference to some specific subclass B of A ???

David,
1. Java has no preprocessor, so C++ tricks are not available. Also I would not recommend such tricks even in C++ if you don't want to turn your colleagues working with same code into personal enemies.
2. The phrase "easier to create a WDJ custom class loader " makes me smile. First, it's not that simple to interfere WDJ class loading scheme. Plus custom class loaders is not trivial Java topic per se.
3. The problem "replace all A-s with B-s" is typically solved using one or another GoF creation patterns, like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_factory_pattern">Abstract Factory</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern">Factory Method</a>. You may use them with custom class loader, if you really want to
By the way, all UI controls in WD are created using Abstract Factory (role played by view). So you may use this as good example.

Question about the requirement for goods issue from a delivery (VOFM)

Dear all
※Please note that this is related to the credit limit check.
I am trying to set up the SAP system, so that if the maintenance contract (rental document) is billed at least once,
the system would allow the user to bill the customer regardless of the credit usage (ex. 150%).
So I created the following routine for the credit check (in VOFM).
IF XVBAK-AUART = 'ZMZZ'.    --> Please note that ZMZZ is the document type of our rental document
   LOOP AT XFPLT.
       IF XVBUK-FKSAK = 'B' or XVBUK-FKSAK = 'C'.
We will not do any credit limit check for this item line.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-SECURITY.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-STATIC_LIMIT.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DYNAMIC_LIMIT.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DOCUMENTVALUE.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-CRITICAL_FIELDS.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-REVIEWDATE.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-OPEN_ITEMS.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-OLDEST_OP.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-DUNNING_LEVEL.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER1.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER2.
            MOVE CHARX TO BYPASS-USER3.
            EXIT.
      ENDIF.
           EXIT.
   ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Now, with the routine above, it became possible to bill customers regardless of the credit usage.
However, when we try to ship (posting goods issue) the item for that maintenance contract, when the credit usage exceeds 100%, the system rejects it with the error message below.
<Error message>
Static credit check: credit limit exceeded
Now, I want to set up the system, so that if the posting goods is for the item which satisfies the following condition,
the system would not reject the posting due to the error above.
<condition>
1. The item is for the maintenance contract which was billed at least once --> this means that this is not a new contract
※Please note that for new maintenance contracts (which is not billed even once), the system should not allow to post goods
   issue if the credit usage exceeds 100 %.
I looked into VOFM, and found out that we are using the following routines for posting goods issue.
<system routine>
13
<user routine>
113
But I didn't know where the error (Static credit check: credit limit exceeded) came from.
Could you tell me how to find (or where to modify) a location where I can make the modification in order to
satisfy our requirement?
Thank you very much in advance

Dear all
I was able to solve the problem by setting up the credit check routine for delivery notes, and assign it for "No credit check" field
in the automatic credit control (OVA8).
So, thank you for your help, everyone

Motion Project does not look good in FCP

I am using FCP 5.0 and Motion2. I made a lower third title graphic in Motion. When I embed the clips back into FCP they look pixalated. They do not look as good as they did originally. Does anyone have a solution?

Hey,
Here's the result from last night. The quicktime file is good. It seems that Motion projects in FCP, even from rendered QT files, don't display their true image.
My output this morning for my project is flawless. Even though the timeline looks horrible.
The reason this seems to come up in this forum again and again, is probably that Boris 3D, FCP's titles, even LiveType, all display their true clean rendered image in FCP. Motion, however, doesn't seem to do that.
My guess is that it hangs on to a thumbnail representation for FCP of the rough draught render that motion must create so you can place your motion project in your FCP timeline live. (you know, you can switch back and forth and update a motion project and it updates it in FCP. )
It just doesn't say that anywhere that I was looking.
So, if anyone else is creating Motion projects and importing them into Final Cut, be aware that what you see in Final Cut is not what is going to render in your output. It will be full resolution and without the alising that appears in FCP's timeline.
Whew!

Question about images with transparent backgrounds in inDesign

Hi,
I've recently switched from Quark to inDesign CS5.5, and I'm trying to figure out how to do something that was easy in Quark but doesn't seem to work in iD. I'd like to colorize a greyscale image that has a transparent background. In Quark, I could import it as a TIF and then specify different colors for the image and background (which I could specify to be transparent). In iD, seems that the transparency needs to be included in Photoshop (which wasn't the case in Quark; the method worked for any greyscale TIF), and that I need to chage the color of the in original image if I want to keep that transparency. Also, from what I've read, the imported image works better as a PSD.
Is this correct? Does the transparency and color need to be specified in Photoshop for me to have a transparent image? (The image is too complex to include a clipping path, and it's being placed on a photographic background, so I can't simply change the bckground image to a solid color to make it blend in).
If this is the case, it's really disappointing--I was able to get some great effects in Quark using the other method. I hope I'm misunderstanding what to do, or there's some kind of workaround.
Thanks in advance for any help,
--Harriet

ID will only colorize non-transparent grayscales or bitmap mode images. If you don't need continuous tone, saving in Bitmap mode will render the white areas transparent when you colorize ( if the frame itself has no fill color, else that fill color will show), but that's not much good if you need a true grayscale. Changing the blending mode of a colorized grayscle to Multiply will cause white areas to be come transparent, but other areas will multiply over any background, which may not be what you want, either.

Question about image slideshow (like mac file preview)

Hello!Ι have a question about Adobe Edge.is it possible to create a photo slide show like mac's file preview? i mean smthg like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q727LqDIZKM

Hi, TasisGrafix2-
Edge Animate doesn't support css3d natively, but you can use a third party library such as edgehero.js to make this work.

Question about image loading problem

Dear Java Gurus,
I am writing a simple Java Applet application. Basically what it does is every 3 seconds, it tries to get an image from a server and display it (also based on the browser�s client size to do some resize of the image to fit the width of the browser�s client area). But frequently I got this kind of exceptions:
----------------------------- Exception 1 --------------------------------------
Uncaught error fetching image:

Which will cause the image goes to blank in the browser and also degreed down the performance, and I do not know where they are coming from. I tried to put try-catch blocks at possible method calls, but still it does not catch these kind exceptions.

Smoothcamed clip looks good in canvas, terrible when exported

Hi. I'm working on a choppy shot taken on a boat. After applying the smoothcam filter, the shot looks much better, but ONLY in Final Cut's Canvas. When exported and played in any other program, it looks worse, jittery and streaky, like there is a translucent second layer over the original that is a few seconds off.
Curiously, the smoothcamed clip also looks bad when played FULL SCREEN in Final Cut using the 'digital cinema desktop preview' function.
The only time it looks good is in final cut's canvas (but not full screen).
Anyone know why this is happening and how to get the results I'm seeing in the canvas for output?
The temp work around I've devised is to play the clip in a large canvas and to capture with a desktop video capturing program. The clip is smooth but we're losing too much resolution.
FYI: no luck smoothcaming in motion, which zooms in too far.
Thanks in advance for help.

The Canvas is only showing you some of the pixels, smoothing out what it cannot show in full rez. You're also seeing a reduced frame rate sort of, it's progressive and your footage is probably interlaced. Smoothing attempts to do huge pixel-level manipulations and the results can be terrible and sometimes liquidy, as you have seen. Aren't there settings you can adjust down? Sorry, not at my FCP machine this morning to check that for you.
Try hitting a few of the Motion training sites to see if ayone has something to say about smoothing.
In Motion, you can switch off the automatic zooming feture that attempts to hide the edges bt you're going to be forced to deal with the visible edges somehow.

Follow Up Question about shadow Images

Hello!
A couple weeks ago I asked about drop shadows set with images
and I was
given some helpful
advice. Something came up and I wasn't able to get back to
putting the
information into application until a couple days ago. Forgive
my ignorance
but another question has surfaced. Many here advocate that a
serious web
page maker learn the ins and outs of HTML and CSS. I have
been making
significant headway in both. Some unanswered questions
persist and while I
can ferit it out
through more reading and experiementing, it seems best, for
expedience sake
to ask
the question that is effecting my immediate situation. I have
three images - top, center (this one repeats), and bottom -
that I am trying
to place as a background. Here is the CSS that I
have written for the accasion, based on the advice given here
on this forum.
The problem I am having is applying the div tags in the
correct manner that
will give me the results I am looking for. Here is how the
code renders
through IE 7:
http://www.ors-llc.com/AboutORS/experiment.html.
As you see
the images are not one continuous background image. Obviously
I have
something wrong here; can anyone advise?
Thank you in advance.

Sony TG5V vs Sanyo Xacti HD1010: A QUESTION ABOUT IMAGE STABILIZATION

i have decided to return my new Sony TG5V handycam since discovering that it does not have an external mic jack for interviews that I plan on doing. The return will not be a problem, but my new question is this:
I did some preliminary research last night and found that the Sanyo Xacti HD1010 is very similar to the Sony TG5V, and it/the Xacti HD1010 does indeed have an external mic jack, so that solves the microphone requirement.
Reviews have said, however, that the Sanyo HA1010 has poor IS (Image Stabilization) and that in fact, the Sony TG5V has a much better IS. I even saw some comparisons, and it is obvious that the Sony stabilizes better.
HOWEVER: *Since I am going to edit with iMovie '09, which has a fine Image Stabilizer/Non Shake feature, would that make up for the bad shake in the raw footage?* More precisely: Would the same footage I shoot come out just as smooth with the Sanyo Xacti HD1010 with poor IS as it would come out with my Sonya TG5V and the iMovie '09 Image Stabiizer, working double time, so to speak?
And also: I am still looking for a small, lightweight videocam that I can carry in my purse. I do not need or want a larger one. I have a larger Sony that I never use. I welcome any suggestions.
Thank you.

I just bought an Xacti HD2000, convinced by what now seems to be pure "hype" about much more rapid transfer and editing in iMovie but don't see any improvement over my Canon HG20 which ricords in AVCHD. In any case, iFrame is 30fps. Sanyo made a big pitch about Xacti, iFrame and the Mac but turns out all the software and the manuals are about Windows. My requests for assistance of Sanyo got zero results, after the automated response. If you want I'll sell you my Xacti.

Question about images....Image Size ... Augh!!!

I am curious about importing images into FCP. I understand that pixels in an image are square and that in video they are rectangular. When I import an image into FCP it looks great, until I export and then they take on a "fatter" look. I know that when you import an image as a Multi-layered Photoshop document that FCP will automatically adjust for it. But if you import a .TIFF, .PNG, or .JPEG that you will need to compensate for it's image size prior to importing.. (which is quite confusing)... I come across images of all ppi, resolution, and size.
Two things I have discovered.... If I import it as a Multilayered Photoshop file and then export it, I seem to lose quality. But if I import it without compensating for image size(it looks better within FCP) and then export it using Compressor with a DV NTSC 4:3 setting, it looks fairly dead on and the image maintains it's high quality.... but I know this is not the way to do it.
So here is my questions...
1) What am I doing wrong? Is there a simple formula to get it correct everytime?
2) Is there anyway that FCP can compensate for pixel changes on a single layer image or do I need to convert each image to a Photoshop Multilayer Document? Why am I losing quality?
3) Is there anyway to import single layer images and have Compressor export it how I see it on my computer monitor?
Thanks for any help....!

Follow up question about interpreting smart data test on 160GB classic

I posted this question regarding the problem I am having with my 160GB ipod classic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2153948&tstart=0
It appears noone is able to help me, so I have found some more information:
In short, itunes will not write to my 160GB ipod once it reaches about 35GB / 160. Windows will write to it, but only at 500KB/sec rather than the usual 19+Mb/sec. It just crawls once it hits that point. After following some advice online I came up with the following results using the HD tests in diagnostic mode.
smart data test:
retracts: 138
rallocs: 563
pending sector: 55
poweron hours: 1016
starts/stops: 267
temp: current 26C
temp: min 19C
temp: max 53C
and for the HDD spec test:
sno: (not sure if i should post a serial number?)
FW Revision: NB100-05
LBAs: 0x12a19eb0
These are the only tests that show up under the I/O HardDrive section. Should there be more? It seems like there might be from what I read, but I am not sure.
Anyway, any help interpreting these results would be greatly appreciated.

Your drive is probably toast. Compare your SmartData stats with mine:
Retracts: 844
*Reallocs: 12*
*Pending Sectors: 0*
PowerOn Hours: 2037
Starts/Stops: 830
Temp: Current 29c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50C
I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. From the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
*Reallocated Sectors Count*
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
*Pending sector count*
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
I'm sure you'll find the counts go up if you try to do a surface scanning disk check. Sorry it's not better news but at least you know where the problem lies. Assuming your iPod is out of warranty it's probably time to get your iPod refurbished with a new drive or to buy a new iPod.

IWeb not looking good on Internet Explorer

Hi,
My site, www.bargelachouette.com has sat well on mac and in Windows IE for a couple of years, except for a small glitch on IE which I was prepared to accept. A few days ago I upgraded to IE8 on the Windows virtual machine of Parallels. The site is totally unacceptable in IE now, with illegible text covering photos which should not be there (The reflection at the bottom of the photo in the<white> <welcome> template I use is now the whole photo replicated below the original photo . Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what I should do to rectify it....please.
Cheers,
Bob

Don't know Bob, but it looks like IE bit you.
I see what you're talking about.
I view it in Firefox and it looks fine.
Not sure what you might be able to do, but hopefully someone will have a thought.
The Barge look really neat.
Good luck.
You might try turning off the reflections.
Looks like that where the problem areas are.
Look like IE is not displaying it as a reflection, but a second picture.
