Help with live type in fce

hi, I created a title and intro in live type for fce. In live type the quality is excellent. when opened & viewed in fce in the viewer the quality is also excellent. but when the text is then placed on the timeline the quality of the text is seriously degraded. It is very jagged, rough and pixelated. I am stumped and have been fighting this for days. any help would be great. I am new to the program. The project properties for my live type document are:
apple intermediate codec 1080i60
width-1920px 26.67inches at 72.0 dpi
height-1080px 11.25 inches at 96.0 dpi
frame rate-29.97 fps
field dominance - none
pixel aspect - 1.00
start time-0:00:00;00
time format - smpte drop
quality - all 3 are set to normal
The project properties for FCE are:
apple intermediate codec 1080i60
frame rate-29.97fps
frame size - 1920x1080
pixel aspect - square
field dominance - none
alpha - none
composite - normal
I have tried every other combo with the live type set up and nothing works. Does any one have a fix for this? thanks
tyler

In LiveType / Edit / Project Properties (command+0) / Presets HDV 1080i60...
In Final Cut Express / Easy Setup (control-Q) HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60...
Import the LiveType project file directly into Final Cut Express...

Need Help with data type conversion

Hello People,
I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
I have variable(string) storing IP Address
IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

Class InetAddress has a method
byte[] getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument.

Help with Live View - Links Not Working

Hello,
I am having a problem with Live View. It had been working just fine, until recently. Now, when I load a site stored locally, the page looks normal and links highlight when I cursor over them, but when I click them no navigation takes place. I just remain on the index page. The site does test fine in IE8, Chrome, Firefox and used to test fine in Live View. The same happens with all my sites. No changes have been made to my system. Maybe I changed a setting unknowingly? Is there some type of setting that I am missing perhaps? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you close and restart DW to see if that helps?

Sub-titles..??? possible with Live Type..???

hi
just to know how (if possible) to make sub-titles in a FCE projet using Live Type.
If you get any help for this...!!!!
Thanks
Kriss / F Guiana

I post these links to questions about subtitles and captioning.
The two processes are related. "Free"? Probably not.
I have never used FCE.

How to import layouts with live type and vectors?

I seem to have run into a stumper on basic AE workflow. I want to set up a workflow where I can lay out designs in one app, and then bring them into AE to animate, and fly the camera around. My intent is to do infographics like this: http://vimeo.com/25123730 (OK, well, not nearly that slick...yet)
The difficulty is, if I lay out my design in Photoshop, after I import it, it will let me convert the type to live type, but the vector shapes are all rasterized, and I can't get them as vectors. If I lay out in Illustrator, the shapes are all crisp vectors, but my type is rasterized! I'm thinking that there's something I have to be missing here.
What's the solution?

There's actually a very simple solution that I use all the time. You simply convert your type to outlines in illustrator. I do this kind of stuff at least once a month. That's the only way to go. A side benefit is that you get to work with much smaller file sizes and much faster rendering times when you're doing really big 3-D moves on a really big piece of artwork.
The only catch is that some typefaces do not convert to outlines very well. You just need to make sure by carefully examining the conversion.
Another trick is to duplicate the type layers before you convert them. I move all of the duplicated type to a separate layer that I keep at the bottom of the stack in case the client wants, and they always want, changes. That bottom layer is simply kept hidden.
If I really need to use a text animator on one of the lines, I will use the illustrator layer as a placeholder and just simply type in the word or words. Most of my designs do not involve heavy use of text animators. These tricks will work until After Effects has the ability to import LiveType from Illustrator or vector shapes from Photoshop.

Raster to Vector help with Live Trace

Hello All,
When I convert a raster to vector with Live Trace the result is great but I want to reduce the number of points so I get less layers when I import it into Painter. Can anyone advise on how to do this?

Need help with output type EDI for ERS

All,
I want to be able to run and ERS settlement and have the invoices created sent via EDI/XML to the supplier.   I have several questions on the set up.
1) I have output type ERS6 which is defined as ERS EDI. I assume because it does not start with Z* this is SAP standard, so I shouldn't have to modify any of this.
2) I've added my supplier to this output type.
3) I assume I need to create a partner profile for this supplier? If so can someone tell me the message type to use?
Is there any set up I'm missing in this process?   I've executed ERS but do not get an idoc and I'm fairly certain it's because I haven't done the partner profile set-up.
Thanks for your help.
Sandra

Hi,
You don't have to modify thise setup unless you have any customized requirement.
You are missing partner profile setup.Carry out the setup and run MRRL tcode to create the idocs
Enter the following values using tcode WE20.
Field                                       Value
Message type                         GSVERF
Partner type                             LI (vendor)
Partner function                        LF (vendor)

Help with live view new camera options...

Hey guys...I have recently bought a hahnel remote shutter release so that I can take pics on the top of a mast around seven metres up.
I have a 5 inch monitor at ground level to view the pictures taken, using an av cable from the camera. Problem is, I cant get a continuous "live view" image on the monitor, as you need to hold down the * button whilst in live view to auto focus, so I have to put up with just the shot thats been taken showing up after each shot instead!
Does anyone know of a canon that would offer a continuous live view image on my monitor, without having to press the * button to auto focus?
Ideally it would be one from the list below, as they are the cameras that my new hahnel wireless remote supports!
I hope someone can help! cheers!
List of supported cameras...would any of these offer live view without the need to press * to autofocus and take a shot:
Compatible Camera Models:
EOS 1200D / 1100D / 1000D / 650D / 600D / 550D /500D / 450D / 400D / 350D / 300D /
70D / 60D / 50D / 40D / 30D / 20D / 20Ds /
10D / 7D / 6D / 5D / 5D Mark II / 5D Mark III
1D / 1DX / 1DC / 1Ds Mark III / 1Ds Mark IV
SX50HS
Powershot G10 / G11 / G12 / G15 / G1X Mk II
Pentax Pentax K-5 II / K-5 IIs / K-5 / K-7 / K10 / K20 / K50 / K100 /
K200 / K500
Samsung GX10 / GX20

What camera are you using? Most "modern" Canon SLRs allow you to set focus during live view. You move a little rectangle around to select your focus area. But you need more than a monitor, you'd either need a computer (like a small netbook) running EOS Utility, or a tablet with DSLR Remote or equivilent on it. The 70D and 6D both have WiFi ability, so you can do it from a smart phone, tablet, or computer, no wires needed.

Please, help with Live Audio/Video example from jmf solutions

Hello,
I�m desperate looking for a solution for a particular problem.
I�m trying to feed JMF with an AudioInputStream generated via Java Sound, so that I can send it via RTP. The problem is that I don�t know how to properly create a DataSource from an InputStream. I know the example Live Audio/Video Data from the jmf solutions focuses on something similar.
The problem is that I don�t know exactly how it works, os, the question is, how can I modify that example in order to use it and try to create a proper DataSource from the AudioInputStream, and then try to send it via RTP?
I think that I manage to create a DataSource and pass it to the class AVTransmit2 from the jmf examples, and from that DataSource create a processor, which creates successfully, and then find a corresponding format and try to send it, but when i try to send it or play it I get garbage sound, so I�m not really sure whether I create the DataSource correctly or not, as I�ve made some changes on the Live Audio/Video Data from the jmf solutions to construct a livestream from the audioinputstream. Actually, I don�t understand where in the code does it construct the DataSource from the livestream, from an inputStream, because there�s not constructor like this DataSource(InputStream) neither nothing similar.
Please help me as I�m getting very stuck with this, I would really appreciate your help,
thanks for your time, bye.

Help with Live Paint - filling in part of an image

I have imported a dfw image into illustrator. It's a black and white image of an object similar to the one below:
I want to paint the areas around the perimeter of the image black so that it looks like it has a large black outline (the areas that contain the X's). I've been able to do it on a few but some of the images, when I open them, the live paint selects only inner areas that I don't want painted. I can't figure out how to change the paths to the ones I want.
I import the image, select all, Object>Live Paiint>Make. Then I set the fill to black. In this example, there are 3 stripes on each pants leg and the only thing Live Paint will select is the outermost stripe. I've tried Object>LivePaint>Expand then reselect the Live Paint Buckeet and click the image when it says, "Click to make Live Paint Group" but nothing changesso that I can paint the desired areas.
I've checked the image closely to ensure there are no breaks in the paths and I've just spent the last 4 hours reading instructions and watching videos but no help. I'm braind new ti Illustrator and must be missing something bassic but don't know what. Any help would be appreciated. I'm stumped.

I should have posted this hours ago. As soon as I did I found the answer. For anyone else with this problem, Select the image then, before using the Live Paint Bucket, select Object>Flatten Transparacy. Then, when you select the live paint bucket, it will ask for you to set the paths and after you do, it'll work just fine.

Help with Live Paint /CS2

Hi everybody
How do i fill a LivePaintGroup? I got the group, but the Bucket shows this black x, and nothing happens, no matter where i click. Also, i can't choose a swatch or your the color-toolbox to color (fill) it. Nothing happens.
This might sound like a simple thing, and i sure didn't expect it to give me that much trouble, but i'm getting really p*ssed here, and before i start poking peoples eyes out with my wacom-pen, i thought i'd try this forum... ;-)
Help! Pleeease!
Cheers
H.

They can change the gap size Edit>Live Paint>Gap Options. That does not seem to be the problem.
The only thing I can think of is that the layer is locked. But that would have a pencil symbol withe black line through it.

Please help with Inspection type

Hi.
I have to create a report. The input fields are material, plant and inspection type. I have to create 2 buttons to activate and deactivate the Inspection types. Inspection types are stored in the table qmat-art. Could you Pl. tell me how to do it.
thanks and regards,
bin

This preferred insp type is used only if you have 2 or more insp types created with the same origin.
Say for example you create two inspection types with similar parameters as '01' inspection type - say 11 and 12.
Now you set the insp types 11 and 12 in the material quality view. When you make 12 as preferred then when GR is done against Pur order the inspection type 12 will be taken,
Hope this clear.
What happened to your prev query regarding batch charc.

Need help with DOC type web service

hi,
I am trying to write a simple message style ( doc type ) web service but no success so far. I have tried to search for examples but no use. I already implemented some simple RPC style web services like calculator etc and able to use them. I am more interested in the DOC type ( which sends SOAP message and receives SOAP message back). Can Anybody give me an example for implementing this type of service ( very-simple say HellowWorld ) or point me to some website . I am not able to generate the response envelope. I can write the client program which will send a SOAP Envelope to this services with one parameter NAME and the services should return Hello Name but in a SOAP envelope form. I can create a SOAP message in this Client using SOAPConnection and MessageFactory etc. Your help will be really appreciated. There is very little stuff about webservices on the internet as well on this forum.
Thanks
Vinod

Hello kwilding2,
Thanks for the quick response and pointing to some useful websites. I downloaded the code from web service essentials BUT all the examples are using SOAP RPC calls. They create a call object and call one of the service methods and a response is returned. I am little confused about this stuff. I am looking for something which returns the response in a SOAP envelope for which i think i need to use JAXM API which I already have downloaded. I have created a client which composes a SOAP envelope using SOAPConnection and other MessageFactory classes etc and can send this SOAP envelope to a web service. In return I want the web service to give the SOAP envelope.
I have gone thru xmethods.net and picked the following stock quote request and response:
Sample Request envelope:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:getQuote xmlns:ns1="urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<symbol xsi:type="xsd:string">IBM</symbol>
</ns1:getQuote>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Sample Response Envelope:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:getQuoteResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<return xsi:type="xsd:float">133.625</return>
</ns1:getQuoteResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
I also want the things in this order. This webservice at xmethods just returns the price for a stock, so how they say it returns this Response Envelope. Is this Envelope something implied. I am getting more confused.
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Vinod

Help with file type

In Adobe Camera Raw, is there a way to select the file type that you save your image in. It seems .dng or DMG are the onle file types, or am I missing something. I would like to save my orginal CR2 file and save a copy in jpeg for others to open. Please help.

NO. Don't click on Save Image Button. Instead go to:
File >> Save as
You'll get a dialog like this one:
You need to click on the arrow shown in the red box to select the various file types.

Help with "parameter type not within its bounds"

Can someone please explain the behavior I'm seeing below?
public class Node<ChildType extends Node<ChildType>>

    Node<? extends Node> myNode4 = new Node<SubNode>(); // ERROR: SubNode not within its bounds
}How do I get it to work the way I expect? I want to construct a Node with a parameterized children type so that if you construct a Node, the children would also be of type Node. If you construct a SubNode, the children would also be of type SubNode, etc.
Thank you,
