Grid in Canvas window?

Is it possible in the canvas window to put up a grid to align text more effectively?
It is hard to align text just by eye. I know in avid you can put up a grid as a guide to align text, can you do the same in FCP? Also when using the Basic Motion controls, is it possible to nudge items or text using keystrokes as opposed to using just image and wireframe, where you grab text and move it manually?
Thanks

  • FCP 4: NTSC monitor image FROZEN/movie plays JITTERY in canvas window.

    Hey guys. This started yesterday. Every time I hit play, the image from the frame I began playing at on the timeline remains frozen on my NTSC monitor, while the movie plays jittery, roughly, totally unsmoothly in the canvas window. I'm pretty sure I've tried all of Shane's answers, but right now I'm stuck. Any help is immensely appreciated.

    Shane's stock answers addresses this, but make sure
    that under the View mene that you are set to "All
    Frames" and not "Single Frame"
    Yeah, I had that covered from the beginning, but this sucker is stuck on whatever frame I begin to play from.

  • Opening the Canvas window and the Timeline from the browser

    I am on an Intel 2x2.66 Dual Core using OS 10.4.11 and working in FCP 6.04.
    I know this is a stupid question but having been a composer all my life, I am not up to speed on FCP and I seem to be unable to find the answer in my manual.
    I dragged a QuickTime movie to the browser window. It is 500x375 in dimension and uses a H.264, AAC codecs. (info I got from the Get Info window).
    The video shows up and plays in the Viewer window but I cannot get the Canvas window nor the Timeline to open.
    I have tried selecting the sequence from the list in the browser and then control clicking it and looking at the shortcut menu there. The manual says I should choose Open Timeline from this shortcut menu but that is not even a choice I have. I don't mean it is grayed out, I mean there is no Open Timeline choice on the menu.
    As an alternate, the manual suggests selecting the sequence and then choosing View > Sequence in Editor. I tried this also. There is no Sequence in Editor choice under the View menu. There is a Clip in Editor choice but when I select that it simply opens the movie in Quicktime.
    I am aware that I am probably forgetting something simple or doing something stupid but I cannot figure it out. Help would be much appreciated.
    Thomas

    the simple fact that is being eluded to here is that without an active sequence in the project (shown in the browser) there is no canvas or timeline. If you delete your sequence from the browser, the timeline and canvas will disappear, and you will have to create a new sequence, then open that sequence by double clicking it, to get those windows back. Canvas and Timeline display sequence content. No sequence, no c/t.

  • Captured NTSC video looks small in Canvas window

    Often, when we capture video into FCP (version 4.5), the clip comes in at 50% of it's original size (that's how it looks in the canvas window and on the NTSC monitor). We have looked at a number of sequence settings and have not been able to rectify the problem.
    We are capable of scaling each or the clips up to 160% of the original size and the clips will then fill the frame as expected. There does not seem to be any degradation in the video when doing this, but obviously we are doing something wrong and our solution is a long way from elegant.
    In certain projects or sequences the video will be captured into FCP and be the normal size, but we have not been able to figure out what is the difference between these projects and sequences.
    Thanks very much for your input.

    Use the DV/NTSC easy preset to capture your DV material. If the material is recorded as anamorphic, use that preset.
    Capture the video using the same DV/NTSC easy preset that you used to create the project.
    Drop the clip into a sequence created using the same DV/NTSC easy preset..
    The clip will fill the NTSC external monitor screen.
    Set your Canvas and Viewer windows to Fill to fit.

  • How do I define 2 disk groups for ocr and voting disks at the oracle grid infrastructure installation window

    Hello,
    It may sound too easy to someone but I need to ask it anyway.
    I am in the middle of building Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 on Linux. I have 2 storage and I created three LUNs in each of storage so 6 LUNs in total look in both of servers. If I choose NORMAL as a redundancy level, is it right to choose my 6 disks those are created for OCR_VOTE at the grid installation? Or should I choose only 3 of them and configure mirroring at latter stage?
    The reason why I am asking this is that I didn't find any place to create asm disk group for ocr and voting disks at the oracle grid infrastructure installation window. In fact, I would to like to create two disk groups in which one of groups contains three disks those were brought from storage 1 and the second one contains rest three 3 disk that come from the last storage.
    I believe that you will understand the manner and help me on choosing proper way.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You have 2 Storage H/W.
    You will need to configure a Quorum ASMDisk to store a Voting Disk.
    Because if you lose 1/2 or more of all of your voting disks, then nodes get evicted from the cluster, or nodes kick themselves out of the cluster.
    You must have the odd number of voting disk (i.e 1,3 or 5)  one voting disk per ASM DISK, So 1 Storage will hold more voting disk than another storage.
    (e.g 3 Voting Disk - 2 voting stored in stg-A and 1 voting disk store in stg-B)
    If fail the storage that hold the major number of  Voting disk the whole cluster (all nodes) goes down. Does not matter if you have a other storage online.
    It will happen:

  • Why the checkmark in the Canvas window

    This will be, by far,the dumbest question you have ever seen but how do I get rid of the Green checkmark in the canvass window. Also, what does it mean? I'm at the bottom of the learning curve here. Please bear with me here and humour me.

    The green checkmark indicates that the video levels are OK. To turn off the overlay, go to the third button in the group of buttons at the center of the top of the Canvas window and uncheck Excess Luma. Or turn off overlays altogether by going to View->Range Check and select OFF.

  • My Canvas window is green

    Hey...I loaded up a SD format, ran ok in my FCP all looks normal in my timeline however, the canvas is "green" and does not show video but does have the audio...anyone? This is got to be a simple click of a button...I hope

    I have a client whose Canvas window is also green.
    So is his slug generator.
    Since I started to investigate this issue I have found 8 different references to this FCP 5 problem in diferent forums without a definitive solution.
    Any ideas when trashing preferences doesn't work?

  • Display clip duration between markers in canvas window?

    I can do this in Avid- but can not seem to figure it out in FCP.
    There are two TC windows in each canvas window. Is there any way to set them to display the clip duration between markers?
    In other words- I would like to see the duration between and IN point and the OUT point.

    There's a command that will set the in and outs to markers; it's called "mark to markers" found in the Mark Menu. Set the playhead between any two markers and type control+a. Then the in to out duration will show up in the canvas.

  • Fcp 7 Canvas window zoomed out

    Starting a project and the canvas window is zoomed out. Both canvas and viewer are at 25%. Viewer looks perfect viewing the file in the browser. I've had this problem before, but couldn't figure it out. I hope its an easy fix. Thank you!

    Set the scale of the display in the canvas by click on the left hand button at the top of the canvas and selecting the size of display you want. You can also select "fit to window" at the top of the list of scale sizes if you want it at maximum size.

  • Problem in canvas window positioning

    Dear buddies,
    I'm using Dev-6i....whenever I minimize the MDI window of my forms and then maximize it, the canvas window is resized and moves upward and so its buttons toolbar which I created myself ( and not using built-in Default & Smart Bar) gets disappeared, so I've to double click on the title bar of that window to resize it and bring it on the actual position. Can anybody tell me that why is it happening & whats its remedy??? thanx

    it sounds, like you have a canvas-problem. maybe there are some elements (buttons, items, ...) which are displayed in the lower section of the form or in the right section.
    If you increase the canvas and window-size a little bit... is the problem then away?

  • Grid Control for windows

    Hi Experts,
    We're trying to download and install Oracle grid control for windows 64bit but we can't find any 64bit release!
    Can we safely download and install Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control Release (11.1.0.1.0) - Windows 32bit from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/downloads/index.html ? or should we be installing a different version??
    Should Grid control be installed on the DB server in the 1st place or should it be installed on another server?
    Current Oracle Software: 11.2.0.1 64bit.
    Server OS: Windows 2008 Server 64bit.
    Can you kindly let us know.
    Thanks

    We finally got our facts right..
    The Grid Control Enterprise Manager comes only in 32 bits.. However the Grid Control agent that needs to be installed on the DB server comes in 32/64bits and is supported under different OS platforms.
    Metalink (Doc ID 412431.1) shows the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Certification Checker/matrix that we found extremely useful.
    Enterprise Manager Grid Control comes with the basic features and is free to use. Any extra features are considered addons and do need to be properly licensed.
    Thanks

  • Install of OEM 10g Grid controll on windows break my listener

    Hi!
    I install OEM 10g Grid controll to Windows 2000 server, successfully (a new database to the repository also was created by the installer).
    When I restart our server the service of the Listener did not started (it was set to automatic) and I did not able to start it.
    First I see the "Listener.log" and the trace file.
    The problem was that the listener intended to load adapter protokoll and refer to the "orantcp9.dll"!
    Because before the install I create a 10.1.0.2 database the path of the file point to the "Db_1\bin" and here is "orantcp10.dll" exists.
    The "orantcp9.dll" is exists in "em_1\bin".
    What and how can I fix?
    An additional question : during my secont installation I select to create the repository into an existing database, but the installer refuse it because my DB version was 10.1.0.2 and not 10.1.0.3.
    How can I create DB with 10.1.0.3 version on Windows?
    I am in a deadlock :-)
    Regards,
    Imre

    Try MetaLink Doc Id 284680.1
    The issue was that the EM Grid Control created an ORACLE_HOME environment variable. All you have to do is delete the variable, move the Database Oracle Home entries in the path to the front, and reboot the server.
