Help with a workflow / method please.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and a three month novice, so please bear with me.
What I’m trying to do is create a “photo album” where the 3D camera moves from photo to photo and as it reaches each photo, the video there plays, then stops, then we move on to the next photo.
I have created an animatic to show the idea:
Link: [http://reels.creativecow.net/film/animatic]
I’m happy that I understand how to use framing and hold frame behaviors to get the movements and the video segments to play.
But, here’s the question:
Each video is an edited piece, maybe an interview, of about two to three minutes in length.
So,how best to assemble this?
Do it all in Motion, bring in all the 2/3 minute videos and then render, or,
Create the camera motion and then render out and composite the video segments in FCP.
( I do want to keep the perspective views of the video segments as shown, not bring the video to full frame )
Or is there another method / way to do this more easily?
All suggestions will be gratefully received.
Regards, Euan.

Hi Adam & Christina,
Thank you both for your help.
Sorry for the delay in answering, but I've been putting your thoughts to the test.
Adam, I hadn't made the connection that I could put the motion project back into FCP without rendering it first.
That helps a great deal.
Perhaps you could explain more about that still frame and how it would be of help?
Christina, yes, templates make sense. However the insert video segments to go in the drop zones would be of varying lengths. As far as I know, I can't alter the duration of the template within FCP?
I have thought of a variation on the above thoughts.
A) make the main Motion camera animation with drop zones, save as template.
B) make another template where I have removed all objects except the drop zones.
C) bring both templates into FCP, where I can slice and extend template A to suit the length of the videos put into template B.
I am proposing putting template A on V1 and B on V2.
I am hoping this will give me timing flexibility, without having to go back and forwards to Motion from FCP.
Do you think this is feasible?
Many thanks, Euan.

  • Need help with project (calling methods) please!!

    Hi there i have a project for uni requiring me to create a java program that creates a random No. and lets the user have three guesses to find the No. When the users guesses correct he gets a message telling him hes won and if he doesnt get it correct he gets a message telling him the correct No then terminates.
    The code has to call an outside method called[b] Public Static Boolean CheckGuess
    I have tried to create this and got it to compile with no errors (eventually) but i keep getting a message saying i have whenever i type any number in. I think the problem is the way i am calling the method i havnt got much experience this is all pretty new to me any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

    Thank you very much that worked a treat the program is working better now. I have just realised that my for loopcontaining my counter may be in the wrong place as the program is running though both messages 3 times e.g
    "Please enter your guess between 1 & 10"
    "Try again"
    "Please enter your guess between 1 & 10"
    "Try again"
    "Please enter your guess between 1 & 10"
    "Try again"
    "Please enter your guess between 1 & 10"
    "Try again"
    I want my program to run like
    "Please enter your guess between 1 & 10"
    "Try again"
    "Try again"
    "Try again"
    Do u think if i placed my for stament (counter) in between the two messages it would eliminate this problem.

  • NEED HELP WITH USING STATIC METHOD - PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!

    I am trying to set a value on a class using a static method. I have defined a servlet attribute (let's call it myAttribute) on my webserver. I have a serlvet (let's call it myServlet) that has an init() method. I have modified this init() method to retrieve the attribute value (myAttribute). I need to make this attribute value accessible in another class (let's call it myOtherClass), so my question revolves around not knowing how to set this attribute value on my other class using a static method (let's call it setMyStuff()). I want to be able to make a call to the static method setMyStuff() with the value of my servlet attribute. I dont know enough about static member variables and methods. I need to know what to do in my init() method. I need to know what else I need to do in myServlet and also what all I need in the other class as well. I feel like a lot of my problems revolve around not knowing the proper syntax as well.
    Please reply soon!!! Thanks in advance.

  • Need Help with a getText method

    Gday all,
    I need help with a getText method, i need to extract text from a JTextField. Although this text then needs to converted to a double so that i can multiply a number that i have already specified. As you may of guessed that the text i need to extract already will be in a double format.e.g 0.1 or 0.0000004 etc
    Thanks for your help
    ps heres what i have already done its not very good though
    ToBeConverted.getText();
    ( need help here)

  • Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

    Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6. 
    I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
    So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
    Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
    And the colour started to get messed up.
    And the output is a total diasater
    Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
    So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
    The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
    And the output is just the same as the third option.
    Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

    I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
    always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
    if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues
    windows calibrate link:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Calibrate-your-display
    for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
    you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
    and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
    with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...

  • Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

    Hello frnds,
    I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
    first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
    I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
    Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
    My approach is like..
    1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
    START--> pressed
    2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
         read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
         Step 2.. continously..
    3. STOP--> pressed
         until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
    Question is:
    1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
    2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
    please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hello,
    I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
    ---master.java---------------------------------------------------
    import java.sql.*;
    import...
    public class Master {
    public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
    //create connection pool here
    while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
    // set values of variables
    // select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
    execute selected slave program
    // check for loop exit value
    } // end while loop
    System.out.println("Program Complete");
    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error: " + e);
    } finally {
    if (rSet1 != null)
    try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
    connection.close();
    -------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
    This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
    I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
    Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Some help with the 10g install, please.

    Hi,
    We want to install 10g, we are currently running 9i. We want to do this in silent mode since we have so many databases to move to 10g. We've got a few questions & concerns about the procedures that are supposed to be done.
    If someone could kindly read over some of our concerns, we'd appreciate it.
    First, we used the -record method to create a response file. How much do we have to manually edit that file once Oracle creates it for us? Or is it ready to go after we exit the OUI.
    When we tried to do the install, it said it successfully installed 10g, but it failed on some of the configuration assistants. Do we need to run all of the configuration assistants? I mean, TNS is already configured. Does it change for the 10g install?
    Additionally, once the 10g software is complete, the environment is still set to 9i. How does that get changed for the silent install to continue with the DBUA? I mean, we do have databases that need upgrading.
    Any help with steps would be very helpful to us. We're getting error messages like this:
    The installation of Oracle Database 10g was successful, but some
    optional configuration assistants failed, were cancelled or skipped.
    Please check
    '/ora2/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/silentInstall2006-10-26_01-26-39PM.log'

  • Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

    Hello,
    I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive. 
    This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
    Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

    Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content)  and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
    This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

  • Snapper needs some help with photo workflow.

    I guys I am a photographer who has just moved over from a PC to a iMac and i am having a small problem with my workflow and hoping that maybe someone can help me out.
    When using my PC after covering one of my events I would plug my memory card into a reader conected to my PC it would then prompt me to save the files to a new folder which I would name after the event covered.  Once this was done I would then review the photos delete any that were of no use i would then open up photoshop locate the folder and then work on the images and then save them to the same folder before e-mailing them to my publisher.
    Now using the Mac this is my work flow plan.  I plug the memory card into the reader and save the photos in iPhoto using the name of the event to name the folder. I can then review the photos in iPhoto deleting any that are of no use.  I open up photoshop and using bridge to select the files to open but I cannot get the photoshop or bridge to find the folder in iPhoto.  I have to make a copy of the photo folder on my desktop and then select the files from this folder in bridge but this means that I am doing things twice any ideas on how to get photoshop or bridge to find the iPhoto folder.
    I am using OS Lion and Photoshop CS5

    Okay, how about getting iPhoto out of the picture (so to speak)? You'll need to change a couple of preferences, but the result will be: you will see your card reader's icon on your desktop - click on it and open the folder. You can take a look at the pics in Preview (should open automatically) and then decide what to do with them (Photoshop, iPhoto, Aperture, other app, or trash?). Or you can simply create a folder on your desktop and "park" them there until you know what you want/need to do with them. You can create subfolders with the event/date//whatever.
    So, if that is what you'd like, here is where to change a couple of things:
    1. CD/DVD Pane in System Preferences:
    2. Finder Preferences: make sure CDs & DVD are checked to show on desktop.
    3, Open iPhoto: Preferences > General: make sure "connecting camers opens" shows: No Application.

    I have moved this to the main Dreamweaver forum, as the other forum is intended to deal with the Getting Started video tutorial.
    The best way to get help with layout problems is to upload the files to a website and post the URL in the forum. Someone can then look at the code, and identify the problem. Judging from your description, it sounds as though the Document window is narrow, which would result in the final menu tab dropping down to the next row. Try turning on Live view or previewing the page in a browser. Design view gives only an approximate idea of the final layout. Live view renders the page as it should look in a browser.

    Hey Dave,
    You need to remove the margin from #mosaicbutton, #kitchenbutton
    and then add float : left; to #bathroombutton, #floorbutton, #mosaicbutton, #kitchenbutton,
    That'll get you buttons sitting the way you want them, you may need to play with the margins after that.

  • Need some help with the String method

    Hello,
    I have been running a program for months now that I wrote that splits strings and evaluates the resulting split. I have a field only object (OrderDetail) that the values in the resulting array of strings from the split holds.Today, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split. I have not changed the code and from I can tell the structure of the message has not changed. The string is comma delimited. When I count the commas there are 26, which is expected, however, the split is not coming up with the same number.
    Here is the code I used and the counter I created to count the commas:
    public OrderDetail stringParse(String ord)
    OrderDetail returnOD = new OrderDetail();
    int commas = 0;
      for( int i=0; i < ord.length(); i++ )
        if(ord.charAt(i) == ',')
            commas++;
      String[] ordSplit = ord.split(",");
      System.out.println("delims: " + ordSplit.length + "  commas: " + commas + "  "+ ordSplit[0] + "  " + ordSplit[1] + "  " + ordSplit[2] + "  " + ordSplit[5]);
    The rest of the method just assigns values to fields OrderDetail returnOD.
    Here is the offending string (XXX's replace characters to hide private info)
    1096200000000242505,1079300000007578558,,,2013.10.01T23:58:49.515,,USD/JPY,Maker,XXX.XX,XXX.XXXXX,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,USD,Sell,FillOrKill,400000.00,Request,,,97.7190000,,,,,1096200000000242505,,,
    For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Today, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split
    I don't see how that could happen with the 'split' method since it creates its own array.
    For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
    PERFECT! That is exactly what it should be!
    Look closely at the end of the sample string you posted and you will see that it has trailing empty strings at the end: '1096200000000242505,,,'
    Then if you read the Javadocs for the 'split' method you will find that those will NOT be included in the resulting array:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
    split
    public String[] split(String regex)
    Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.  This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
    Just a hunch but your 'out of bounds exception' is likely due to your code assuming that there will be 26 entries in the array and there are really only 24.

    A base case has been reached, escaped(false) is returned to RP1. The algorithm backtracks to the call where row = 2 and col = 1 and assigns false to escaped.
    How do I fix this code?
    I know what's wrong with my code now, even though that if

                   escaped = findTheExit(row, col+1);
    how do I do this?

    Okay I think I got the problem here because I already consult with the instructor, he said that by my code now I am not updating my current array if I change one of the values in a specific row and column into '.' . How do I change this so that I can get an update array. He said to me to erase char[][] array = getArray and replace it with the array instance variable in my class. But I don't have an array instance variable in my class. Below is my full code:
    public class ObstacleCourse implements ObstacleCourseInterface {
         private String file = "";
         public ObstacleCourse(String filename) {
              file = filename;
         public boolean findTheExit(int row, int col) {
              boolean escaped = false;
              //System.out.println("row" + " " + row + " " + "col" + " " + col);
              //System.out.println(array[row][col]);
              //System.out.println("escaped" + " " + escaped);
              if (possible(row, col)){
                   //System.out.println("possible:" + " " + possible(row,col) + "\n");
                   array[row][col] = '.';
                   if (checkBorder(row, col)){
                   escaped = true;
                   else {
                    escaped = findTheExit(row+1, col);
                    if (escaped == false)
                    escaped = findTheExit(row, col+1);
                    else if (escaped == false)
                    escaped = findTheExit(row-1, col);
                    else if (escaped == false)
                    escaped = findTheExit(row, col-1);
              if (escaped == true)
                   array[row][col] = 'O';
              return escaped;
         public char[][] getArray() {
              char[][] result = null;
              try {
                   Scanner s = new Scanner(new File(file));
                   int row = 0;
                   int col = 0;
                   row = s.nextInt();
                   col = s.nextInt();
                   String x = "";
                   result = new char[row][col];
                   s.nextLine();
                   for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
                        x = s.nextLine();
                        for (int j = 0; j < result.length; j++) {
                             result[i][j] = x.charAt(j);
              } catch (Exception e) {
              return result;
         public int getStartColumn() {
              char[][] result = this.getArray();
              int columns = -1;
              for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
                   for (int j = 0; j < result[i].length; j++) {
                        if (result[i][j] == 'S')
                             columns = j;
              return columns;
         public int getStartRow() {
              char[][] result = this.getArray();
              int row = -1;
              for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
                   for (int j = 0; j < result[i].length; j++) {
                        if (result[i][j] == 'S')
                             row = i;
              return row;
         public boolean possible(int row, int col) {
              boolean result = false;
              char[][] array = this.getArray();
              if (array[row][col] != '+' && array[row][col] != '.')
                   result = true;
              return result;
         public String toString() {
              String result = "";
              try {
                   Scanner s = new Scanner(new File(file));
                   s.nextLine();
                   while (s.hasNextLine())
                        result += s.nextLine() + "\n";
              } catch (Exception e) {
              return result;
         public boolean checkBorder(int row, int col) {
              char[][] array = this.getArray();
              boolean result = false;
              int checkRow = 0;
              int checkColumns = 0;
              try {
                   Scanner s = new Scanner(new File(file));
                   checkRow = s.nextInt();
                   checkColumns = s.nextInt();
              } catch (Exception e) {
              if ((row + 1 == checkRow || col + 1 == checkColumns) && array[row][col] != '+')
                   result = true;
              return result;
    I thought that my problem would be not to read the file using the try and catch everytime in the method. How do I do this?? Do I have to create an array instance variable in my class?
