Help with transitions and fade in / out

I need help. I need some kind and infinitely patient personto explain, step by step, in simple words of less that one syllable how I can fade in my movie and how I can apply transitions between the clips.
I’ve tried, oh have I tried. I’ve read the manual, I’ve watched three video’s on youtube (they were bad!), found a lot of quality online help but I still don’t get it.
What I do get is random results.  Like my movie fades in once then it won’t do it again. Like I get the grey transition box but can’t extend the transition beyond0.1 of a second. Like I trim my movie and the transition removes the trim. And so on.
So if some kind soul could help, or even point me in the direction of transitions made simple I’d appreciate it.
Many  thanks.

    I have my post dont want to duplicate it

    The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
    Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
    [Reference]
    Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
    Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
    You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

These issues are causing me to use Chrome very often even though I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and cannot find anything. How does one get personal technical help?? These issues do not happen in Chrome at all. Thanks.

  • Help with count and sum query

    Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
    SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
    CASE
    WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
    END
    ACCOUNTS,
    CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
    'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
    COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
    FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
    LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
    ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
    INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
    ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
    WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
    AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
    AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
    GROUP BY a.company,
    b.district,
    a.cost_ctr,
    c.category,
    a.fiscal_month,
    a.fiscal_year;
    which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

    Hi,
    Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
    Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.

    I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
    You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
    WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
         SELECT  a.empl_id
         ,     CASE
                        WHEN  c.category = 'E'
                  THEN  'Headcount Exempt'
                        ELSE  'Headcount Non-Exempt'
                END          AS accounts
         ,       CASE
                        WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                        THEN 'OH'
                        ELSE 'NA'
                END          AS market
         FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
         LEFT OUTER JOIN  mms_dist_copy             b  ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
         INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c  ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
         WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
         AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
         AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
    SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
    ,       accounts
    ,       market
    ,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
    ,       COUNT (empl_id)       AS head_count
    FROM       got_group_by_columns
    GROUP BY  accounts
    ,            market
    ;But that's just a wild guess.
    You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

  • Please help with margins and tags

    Hope someone can help with a sudden problem I’m having with tags and margins. Out of the blue it seems Dreamweaver wants to create a margin between two <div’s,> but only if a tag is applied to the text, such as <p><h1><h2> etc.  Here’s an example; Say at the top of the page you have a <div> named “header,” below it there’s a <div> named “content.” So far no problem, but as soon as I put text in the “content” <div> and give the text a tag, the “content <div> drops roughly 25 – 30px below the “header” <div> leaving a margin.  To make it even stranger; If I were to insert an image into the “content” <div> first, then the text, it behaves as normal.  I’m just baffled; if anyone has an answer it would be greatly appreciated.

    That did it, thank you so much!
    It's still just a bit of a mystery why it suddenly started doing this, guess I’ll just have to strip that code in manually from now on, unless you have the answer on how to have it default to a margin and padding of 0.
    Anyway, thank you for your help.

  • Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

    Hi Experts,
    I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
    Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
    Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
    Thanks in advance,
    C
    SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB
    DATA: L_WA(800).
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    ZDBTAB-DATALEN = STRLEN( L_WA ).
    MOVE: L_WA to ZDBTAB-RAWDATA.
    ZDBTAB-LINENUM = SY-TABIX.
    INSERT ZDBTAB.
    READING THE DATA FROM DB
    DATA: BEGIN OF T_DATA,

         ORDER BY linenum.
    Populate calling Internal Table.
    LOOP AT T-DATA.
    APPEND T_DATA to T_TAB.
    ENDLOOP.

    Hi Anuj,
    The unicode flag is active.
    When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
    When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
    APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
    T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
    In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

  • HT1386 2 days ago did sync via wifi with Ipad and it wiped out my notes.   anyone know if they can be retrieved anywhere?

    2 days ago did sync via wi-fi with Ipad2 and it wiped out my notes.   Anyone know if they can be retrieved and how?
    Also today decided to try to sync with I cloud and it wiped out my contacts.  contacts did not go to outlook either.   Fortunately they are still on Ipod touch, but i am afraid to do anymore syncing.   Not the first time I have done a sync!

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,

  • Help with Stills and Motion

    I just came over to Mac and took advantage of the promotion on FCE. I am a still photographer and have found that putting my pictures into a video is much more impressive than handing someone a pile of photos. What I need seems to be relatively simple, but I'm about to tear my hair out: Using only still photos, I would like to cross fade into each one while each one has some movement (within the frame). In other words, gentle pans and zooms with slow crossfades. I have several working, but I just can't seem to repeat the procedure and I'm spending way too much time trying to get each to work properly. I've tried putting on the same video track and on two tracks and can't get it down to a routine. I would really appreciate someone giving me a tip on finding the trick to getting this down. Yes, I've read the manual and dug into the forum. Appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    mp

    I recently finished a project with nearly 200 still photos in FCE HD. While iPhoto and iMovie can create photo montages, iPhotos applies the same transition and duration to each photo. iMovie allows you to vary the transitions and duration of each photo, and switch up the music.
    What i've done before was lay down my music on a seperate track. Then, add the photos into the timeline, changing on the beats or whatever. Let the flow of the music determine the duration of each photo.
    You'll have more control in FCE HD, but iMovie will do the trick. Either way, send the finished project to iDVD for burning.
    Best of luck!

  • Help with splitting and arranging clips

    Hi All,
    Can some please help a complete noob by explaining their simple workflow for FCE HD from after capture to edit.
    I am new to digital editing and am working my way through Tom's book but am a little confused in regards to arranging and organising my clips. I have a new project (My niece's 1st B'day party) which currently has 1 master clip (I think this is the terminology) with several (27) segments after running DV Start/Stop.
    This is where I get confused. I want to arrange the segments into Bins, for example: Birthday girl, cake, games etc... But there is something about relationships between master clip, segments and subclips which I don't understand.
    How is the best way to "cut up" (and is that the best way) the segments into smaller master clips so i can rename then, rearrange them and add comments in preperation for editing?
    Sorry for the long post, but when you don't really know what you want to say you end up saying a lot
    Cheers.
    Andrew

    I don't use the Master/Subclip relationships. My method of sorting out various types of clip, by subject (your examples of "Birthday girl, cake, games etc...") is to slide (click, hold and drag) all obviously bad clips into V3 and ignore (mostly), and then slide all the Birthday girl clips on to V2 and move them sideways to group them closer together, then do the same for each other group. This leaves in V1 some shots such as establishing shots, closeups of decorations, departures etc. which you know where to put (eg., establishing shots at the beginning, closeups cut in somewhere where suitable as the editing proceeds). Next, I drag down and left or right various clips from V2 to V1 to their appropriate positions in order, leaving gaps between here and there to avoid having to move sets of clips left and right too often to make room. Then I set In and Out points in the Timeline (or Viewer) and close gaps between the clips within each set and see how that set looks. When all the material has gone through that process I check the whole video and make (usually) minor) changes, then do transitions and set audio levels, then leave it for a few days to look at it afresh.
    Is this a bizarre method? What do you pros do?

  • Help with transitions.

    I have used imovie for dozens of projects and decided to step up to FCE 3.5. After several hours, reading through several threads on this topic, and the instruction book, I still cant figure out how to put a cross disolve between to separate clips. I got it to work with clips I split with the razor tool, and get get transitions such as fade in/out to work, but I cant seem to do a simple cross disolve between 2 separate clips.
    I prefer the drag-n-drop method for transitions like iMovie. I have two clips side by side and when I try to apply the effect it will only show up on one of the clips. It wont place the effect on both clips. I guess specifically I am having trouble placing a transition centered on an edit point. Is there a simple method to adding transitions like iMovie?
    Please be patient with me I may need step by step instruction

    First off thanks for being patient with me. My current project I am working with is editing wakeboarding video. the reason that half second may be important is because the clips are only 2-3 second long to begin with. But maybe I am not fully clear on how this works.
    It is my understanding that in iMovie when drag a 1 second cross dissolve between 2 adjacent clips, it automatically pulls 15 frames from each clip and puts them into the transition.
    When I click on a clip in the tl to bring it up in to the viewer and mark the out point on one and then the in point on the next, looking at the TL it appears the the content between the two has been removed. Are those frames now gone from the project? If I then put the two remaining clips side by side the cross dissolve works.

  • Help with encapsulation and a specific case of design

    Hello all. I have been playing with Java (my first real language and first OOP language) for a couple months now. Right now I am trying to write my first real application, but I want to design it right and I am smashing my head against the wall with my data structure, specifically with encapsulation.
    I go into detail about my app below, but it gets long so for those who don't want to read that far, let me just put these two questions up front:
    1) How do principles of encapsulation change when members are complex objects rather than primitives? If the member objects themselves have only primitive members and show good encapsulation, does it make sense to pass a reference to them? Or does good encapsulation demand that I deep-clone all the way to the bottom of my data structure and pass only cloned objects through my top level accessors? Does the analysis change when the structure gets three or four levels deep? Don't DOM structures built of walkable nodes violate basic principles of encapsulation?
    2) "Encapsulation" is sometimes used to mean no public members, othertimes to mean no public members AND no setter methods. The reasons for the first are obvious, but why go to the extreme of the latter? More importantly HOW do you go to the extreme of the latter? Would an "updatePrices" method that updates encapsulated member prices based on calculations, taking a single argument of say the time of year be considered a "setter" method that violates the stricter vision of encapsulation?
    Even help with just those two questions would be great. For the masochistic, on to my app... The present code is at
    http://www.immortalcoil.org/drake/Code.zip
    The most basic form of the application is statistics driven flash card software for Japanese Kanji (Chinese characters). For those who do not know, these are ideographic characters that represent concepts rather than sounds. There are a few thousand. In abstract terms, my data structure needs to represent the following.
    -  There are a bunch of kanji.
       Each kanji is defined by:
       -  a single character (the kanji itself); and
       -  multiple readings which fall into two categories of "on" and "kun".
          Each reading is defined by:
          -  A string of hiragana or katakana (Japanese phoenetic characters); and
          -  Statistics that I keep to represent knowledge of that reading/kanji pair.Ideally the structure should be extensible. Later I might want to add statistics associated with the character itself rather than individual readings, for example. Right now I am thinking of building a data structure like so:
    -  A Vector that holds:
       -  custom KanjiEntry objects that each hold
          -  a kanji in a primitive char value; and
          -  two (on, kun) arrays or Vectors of custom Reading objects that hold
             -  the reading in a String; and
             -  statistics of some sort, probably in primitive valuesFirst of all, is this approach sensible in the rough outlines?
    Now, I need to be able to do the obvious things... save to and load from file, generate tables and views, and edit values. The quesiton of editting values raises the questions I identified above as (1) and (2). Say I want to pull up a reading, quiz the user on it, and update its statistics based on whether the user got it right or wrong. I could do all this through the KanjiEntry object with a setter method that takes a zillion arguments like:
    theKanjiEntry.setStatistic(
    "on",   // which set of readings
    2,      // which element in that array or Vector
    "score", // which statistic
    98);      // the valueOr I could pass a clone of the Reading object out, work with that, then tell the KanjiEntry to replace the original with my modified clone.
    My instincts balk at the first approach, and a little at the second. Doesn't it make more sense to work with a reference to the Reading object? Or is that bad encapsulation?
    A second point. When running flash cards, I do not care about the subtlties of the structure, like whether a reading is an on or a kun (although this is important when browsing a table representing the entire structure). All I really care about is kanij/reading pairings. And I should be able to quickly poll the Reading objects to see which ones need quizzing the most, based on their statistics. I was thinking of making a nice neat Hashtable with the keys being the kanji characters in Strings (not the KanjiEntry objects) and the values being the Reading objects. The result would be two indeces to the Reading objects... the basic structure and my ad hoc hashtable for runninq quizzes. Then I would just make sure that they stay in sync in terms of the higher level structure (like if a whole new KanjiEntry got added). Is this bad form, or even downright dangerous?
    Apart from good form, the other consideration bouncing around in my head is that if I get all crazy with deep cloning and filling the bottom level guys with instance methods then this puppy is going to get bloated or lag when there are several thousand kanji in memory at once.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Usually by better design. Move methods that use the
    getters inside the class that actually has the data....
    As a basic rule of thumb:
    The one who has the data is the one using it. If
    another class needs that data, wonder what for and
    consider moving that operation away from that class.
    Or move from pull to push: instead of A getting
    something from B, have B give it to A as a method
    call argument.Thanks for the response. I think I see what you are saying.. in my case it is something like this.
    Solution 1 (disfavored):
    public class kanjiDrill{ // a chunk of Swing GUI or something
         public void runDrill(Vector kanjiEntries){
              KanjiEntry currentKanjiEntry = kanjiEntries.elementAt(0); // except really I will pick one randomly
              char theKanji = currentKanjiEntry.getKanji();
              String theReading = currentKanjiEntry.getReading();
              // build and show a flashcard based on theKanji and theReading
              // use a setter to change currentKanji's data based on whether the user answers correctly;
    }Solution 2 (favored):
    public class kanjiDrill{ // a chunk of Swing GUI or something
         public void runDrill(Vector kanjiEntries){
              KanjiEntry currentKanjiEntry = kanjiEntries.elementAt(0); // except really I will pick one randomly
              currentKanji.buildAndShowFlashcard(); // method includes updating stats
    }I can definitely see the advantages to this, but two potential reasons to think hard about it occur to me right away. First, if this process is carried out to a sufficient extreme the objects that hold my data end up sucking in all the functionality of my program and my objects stop resembling natural concepts.
    In your shopping example, say you want to generate price tags for the items. The price tags can be generated with ONLY the raw price, because we do not want the VAT on them. They are simple GIF graphics that have the price printed on a an irregular polygon. Should all that graphics generating code really go into the item objects, or should we just get the price out of the object with a simple getter method and then make the tags?
    My second concern is that the more instance methods I put into my bottom level data objects the bigger they get, and I intend to have thousands of these things in memory. Is there a balance to strike at some point?
    It's not really a setter. Outsiders are not setting
    the items price - it's rather updating its own price
    given an argument. This is exactly how it should be,
    see my above point. A breach of encapsulation would
    be: another object gets the item price, re-calculates
    it using a date it knows, and sets the price again.
    You can see yourself that pushing the date into the
    item's method is much beter than breaching
    encapsulation and getting and setting the price.So the point is not "don't allow access to the members" (which after all you are still doing, albeit less directly) so much as "make sure that any functionality implicated in working with the members is handled within the object," right? Take your shopping example. Say we live in a country where there is no VAT and the app will never be used internationally. Then we would resort to a simple setter/getter scheme, right? Or is the answer that if the object really is pure data are almost so, then it should be turned into a standard java.util collection instead of a custom class?
    Thanks for the help.

  • Can anyone help with iPlayer and Sky Mobile?

    Ok, I'm so close to giving up with this useless phone. There are 3 apps on my N97 which give me a constant headache.
    BBC iPlayer
    Sky Mobile*
    YouTube
    *I should point out that I only use Sky Mobile to set recordings on my Sky+. I do not use it for, nor have any desire to use it for actually watching Mobile TV.
    All of these apps work absolutely fine over my home WiFi network. It's when I try to use them over 3G (my Vodafone Live! connection) that I start running in to trouble.
    All 3 give me connection problems, errors, and simply refuse to load half the time when on 3G. I got so annoyed I just did a hard reset the other week, and magically all three started working again. However, now 2 of them are failing me again. YouTube (touch wood) is working fine at the moment, but iPlayer and Sky Mobile just aren't.
    iPlayer sometimes works. But sometimes I get script errors (unable to load content), and sometimes it says something about checking my connection settings. I wouldn't mind but it's not actually possible to access any options for the iPlayer. Even in application settings there are no options you're able to set.
    Sky Mobile simply flat out refuses to work ever on 3G. But it did after I did a hard reset for a couple of weeks, now it just stopped working! It wont even load. It just gives the error message 'Unable to connect to network - please check connection settings" or something along those lines.
    I've tried so many different things. Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live! all the time, tried setting my video streaming settings to WAP, all sorts. Every combination I can think of.
    I just can't wait to get rid of this phone. I've put so many people off buying one. They see it and think it's all swish and cool, and I just say 'Don't. You'll regret it'. I can't wait for my contract to be up so I can upgrade to an iPhone now Vodafone have got them.
    Can anyone help with these problems? Thanks in advance, but I don't hold out much hope...

    About iPlayer.
    Have a chat with Vodaphone. Streaming iPlayer over 3G IS allowed on Vodaphone contract, unlike my O2 contract. As long as your contract allows it, and you have the correct AP address, it should be fine. Vodaphone should be able to give you the setting.
    Mine only works over Wlan.
    FWIW, "... streaming over 3G is not currently available on iPhone handsets on any mobile network".
    p.s. Just to be clear. You say  "Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live!".
    iPlayer uses the Nokia browser "Web". So that's where you should make the setting "Ask when needed". It should then offer you the choice of whatever you've set in Destinations> Internet> then select whatever you've chosen as your GPRS connection.(as advised, or sent to you by Vodaphone).

    The following program will count the number of chacters entered until Z is enetered.
    import java.io.*;
    class count
         public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
              char ch;
              int cnt=0;
              DataInputStream br=new DataInputStream(System.in);
              do
              System.out.print("Enter a character:");
              ch=(char)br.read();
              if(ch!='Z')
                   cnt++;
              else
                   break;
              }while((ch=(char)br.read())!='Z');
              System.out.println("The Number of entered characters are:"+cnt);
    }
