Hi, I just watched a Collin Smith How to Hide a Face with AE video. I'm stuck on mask movement size

I created the mask successfully and I can get it to follow the face while hiding it... but as the person moves away, I'd like to change the mask to a smaller size to avoid covering more than the head.
Here's the video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/no-stupid-questions-with-colin-smith/how-to-hide-a-face-in-after -effects/
Here's the question I left for Collin Smith:
Hi, your video was extremely clear and I followed along well. My one question is... what if the person moves closer and further away. When the person is close my mask is perfect, but as they move away it becomes too large and covers shoulders and back. Is there anyway to adjust the size of the mask like we do the position as he moves? Thanks again.

I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
Please help

The iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
From iTunes: About iOS backups
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.

How to use ADF Faces with struts1.3.8

Hi
Can anybody guide us how to use ADF faces with Struts 1.3.8.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Chetan

Xpp,
Have a look at the ADF Developer's Guide for specific instructions on menus (the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers has the information in section 19.2).
You can put javascript handlers on the components to get keyboard event handling.

How to change sharing settings with no video?

I have a macbook pro that does not have any sort of video output. Unfortunately remote login/screen sharing/ssh are all disabled and my version of realvnc is apparently just below the one that works with Lion causing the realvnc window on the remote server to crash when I attempt to connect.
I have hooked the hard drive up to my desktop (windows 7 x64) and have attempt to make the hard drive a vmware installation, but I have not succeeded with that at all. I have made it where I can view the partition in windows using MacDrive, but I am unable to change any of the system files and I'm not even sure if I could change preferences this way.
Is there anything I can do to enable remote login?
Thanks.

Hi,
Let me say to start with, that with no video output, some of what I'm about to suggest is guess work.
1. Tap away at f1 as soon as you press the power button - this should launch the Bios Menu.
2. Press the right arrow One time - this should hopefully select the Advanced tab.
3. Press the down arrow twice and hit Enter - this should open the sub-menu for the Primary Video Adapter.
4. Press the down arrow One time and hit Enter - this should select the PCI-E option.
5. Press f10 and hit Enter to save this setting.
Let me know
Regards,
DP-K

Just picked up the AEBS - How should I set up with all my devices?

2010 MBP, 2006 macbook, 2 iPhones, iPad, and Netflix on the Wii.
Will want guest network, WPA2 across the board, different SSIDs for the bands, N for mbp and iPad, and usb HD for both laptops.
Any suggestions for how I should set it up with the above info? Stuff I should look into?
THANKS A TON!

Question - If I select the 5GHz to have it's on SSID, won't that negate the dual band benefit if I'm only connected to one of the bands?
Dual band can be confusing to understand.
The default setup of the AirPort Extreme will assign the same name (SSID) to both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. +This is the setup that most users should use because computers and other devices will automatically connect to the band with the best quality.+
So, if you have a new computer and it's relatively close to the AirPort Extreme, it will probably connect to the 5 GHz band. If it's a few rooms away, it will probably connect to the 2.4 GHz band. Why? 5 GHz signals are faster, but they are not nearly as strong as 2.4 GHz signals, which penetrate obstructions more effectively than 5 GHz.
Unfortunately, the laws of physics dictate that in order to gain something (speed in the case of 5 GHz), you have to give up something in return (distance and penetration power).
If you have an older, slower wireless device, it's going to connect to the 2.4 GHz band whether it is close to the AirPort Extreme or at some distance because it cannot connect to the 5 GHz network.
So, why assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network? The only logical reason to do this is to "force" a computer to connect to the 5 GHz band (even if the signal quality is not as good as the 2.4 GHz band). You can "tell" your computer which band you want it to connect to if you have separate names for the 5 GHz band and 2.4 GHz bands.
If you enable the Guest Network, it is also a dual band affair with both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz components. Both bands are assigned the same name (SSID) on the Guest Network and this cannot be changed. That's probably a good thing.
It will be much easier for +most users+ if they go with the default settings and assign the same name to both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. If you think about it, the computer will automatically connect to the band with the best signal quality (which is really what you want). But, depending on the location of the computer, it may not necessarily be the band with the fastest speed.
I was always under the impression the dual band meant you were connected to both a 2.4 and 5GHz connection and therefore had "dual" the speed
Your computer can only connect to one band, either 2.4 or 5 GHz. It cannot connect to both bands at the same time. Dual band simply means that the router provides a faster and not so fast network with the same name. Computers pick the best band to connect to based on their capability and location relative to the router.

How can I record narration with no video or beyond the end of my video in iMovie?

I have a question about recording narration in iMovie.
I wrote a script to read as the narration for a movie I'm making. My thought was I could record the narration first, then add video to match the spoken words.
I've done this before in Sony Vegas on my PC and it worked out well, better than trying to speak to what was going on in the video after I record the video.
Unfortunately, if I try to record narration in iMovie without any video being there yet, it won't record. It appears I need to put a video clip on the timeline first.
If I put a short clip in and try to record narration beyond the end of it, iMovie quits recording at the end of the video clip.
So I went to quicktime and recorded my narration there and have 10 audio files (since I just don't seem to be able to read this whole script without making mistakes).
I then tried to add all 10 to my movie and I think it made me add a video clip first, but after I did, iMovie overlayed all 10 audio files on top of each other.
If I try to drag them over one at a time, I still can't get them to go sequentially unless I add more video to my movie.
There must be a way to add audio files or create narration without having to create a video file longer than your audio first. Isn't there?
I just can't seem to find a way to get the audio files layed out one after another without more video. Very frustrating.
At this point, I really want to know how to add audio files beyond the end of my video since I have them all recorded.
But I'd also like to know how to record narration beyond the end of the video too for future projects.
Thanks!
Brad

You could insert a bunch of placeholders in the timeline before doing the voiceover.
You can find a range of placeholders (they are actually templates used in iMovie Trailers) in the Maps, Backgrounds & Animatics browser. This is the last browser at the end of the centre toolbar, after the Titles and Transitions browsers. Click on it and scroll down to see all the animatics (aka placholders or templates). Drag a number of these into your project timeline - as many as you think you need to cover your audio.
When you've finished the voiceover, drag photos directly onto the animatics and select Replace from the pop-up menu. Adjust the timing by using the Inspector (double-click a photo to open the Inspector, then change the duration).

Flex charts: How to hide axis lines with CSS?

Hello!
How do I hide my axis lines with CSS? Shouldn't this work?
<mx:Style>
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
mx|ColumnChart {
    horizontalAxisStyleName: myAxisStyles;
    verticalAxisStyleName: myAxisStyles;
.myAxisStyles { showLine: false; }
</mx:Style>
I also tried display: none.
Prior to this I used:
<mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>
<mx:AxisRenderer showLine="false" axis="{someName.horizontalAxis}" />
</mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>
<mx:verticalAxisRenderers>
<mx:AxisRenderer showLine="false" axis="{someName.verticalAxis}" />
</mx:verticalAxisRenderers>
But it produced some annoying warnings:
Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to "horizontalAxis".
Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to "verticalAxis".
Thanks!
--Dwayne

Regarding the data binding warnings, see if you can get away without specifying the axis. Not sure if that will work. Otherwise, give the axis an id like the example at the bottom of http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/charts/AxisRenderer. html#axis.
The doco for showLine says "Specifies whether to display the axis. The default value is true." I think it's referring to the line at the bottom of the axis, next to the numbers. It's nothing to do with the grid lines. Which explains why your code doesn't work.
If you are not using gridlines at all (= not using the lines, not using horizontal-fill and horizontal-alternate-fill etc), then I think you can just get rid of them by specifying an empty array. Either in actionscript or in your chart tag (<mx:ColumnChart id="highlights" dataProvider="{results.result}" showDataTips="true">) add the argument: backgroundElements = "[]".
If this is not desireable, go to plan b:
You can control gridlines via css like this:
mx|GridLines {
    gridDirection: both; // horizontal or vertical also accepted, but not "none".
If you want none... well I've got some code where I do this:
(backgroundElements[0] as GridLines).setStyle("gridDirection", "horizontal");
// One of the arguments is the alpha, i.e. alpha=0 (translucent)
var stroke:SolidColorStroke = new SolidColorStroke(0, 0, 0);
(backgroundElements[0] as GridLines).setStyle("horizontalStroke", stroke);
... and that definitely works.

How to hide a node with no children in ADF Tree after Search

Hi,
I have a tree component with Search in my screen.
I followed http://www.jobinesh.com/2010/01/search-by-child-attributes-on-tree.html to implement search.
Search is performing on the childnodes, once the search is done I am expanding all the nodes and displaying only the filtered records.
my code to expand all the nodes :
public void expandAllTreeNodes() {
UIXTree tree = getGroupTree();
RowKeySet disclosedRowKeys = new RowKeySetTreeImpl(true);
CollectionModel model = (CollectionModel)tree.getValue();
JUCtrlHierBinding treeBinding = (JUCtrlHierBinding)model.getWrappedData();
JUCtrlHierNodeBinding nodeBinding = treeBinding.getRootNodeBinding();
List<JUCtrlHierNodeBinding> childNodes = nodeBinding.getChildren();
if (childNodes != null) {
for (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding _node : childNodes) {
disclosedRowKeys.add(_node.getKeyPath());
disclosedRowKeys.remove(_node.getKeyPath());
tree.setDisclosedRowKeys(disclosedRowKeys);
Now I want to hide the nodes which does not have children after search.
how can I hide the node if _node.getChildren() is null.
Could any one provide some inputs on this.
Thanks,
Swathi

How to create a quiz with a video background.

I need to create multiple quiz, which should appear at certain times during the execution of a video.
For example: A person watches a section of the video, and at one point have to answer a question that appears on the video, then one chooses the answer, and the video continues.
It is possible to do this? Insert a quizz on a video?
I use Captivate 8. Thank you!

In Camtasia is possible, but I was looking for alternative because it is very limited. But I think I'll have to use himself.
Using Captivate the way you said will be too much work.
Anyway, thank you for the answer!

How to hide kids albums with home sharing on

I have 3 teenage kids and have home sharing turned on. How do I hide their albums in my iTunes and on my iPhone/iPad?

Your best bet is to clone both devices onto two separate drives, or together onto a larger external hard drive that can cover the capacity of both with its own separate partitions. http://www.bombich.com/ Carbon Copy Cloner is able to do that for you. Test your clone boots and is mapped correctly before erasing the drive in question.

How to modify a face with Motion 5

How do I add a tooth which moves and disappear when the mouth is closed?
And how do I change the colour of the teeth, so that looks better.
How do I make a face younger? And with some makeup as well.
The video that has to be modified, is the face of a old woman.

Thank you, mhm ya I think that post-editing the movie frame by frame could be a solution, but it would be 7700 frames...
Anyone does have a better idea? I think that Motion can at least do something to make the teeth transparent and then I can add a back layer which can add a white kind of colour everywhere this black hole appears, does somebody knows how to do that?

How can I combine animation from Flash with a video from Photoshop to make a movie?

I have a project that's due tomorrow. I had to create a motion tween and animation and record a video to put in it, which I have done both already. My question here is, how can I combine my animation from flash and my video from Photoshop to make it into one movie?

No, I am saying that this isn't the forum for help with that. This forum is for Firefox user support, and the helpers in this forum aren't versed in development issues like that - we're volunteers, not Mozilla developers and don't work for Mozilla. You are better off asking about that in a forum where other web site developers do support.

How to create a DVD with multiple video projects

I want to burn a DVD with several short video projects so that it will run without stopping in between.

Hi
*Play all resp one chapter at a time*
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easies and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Never tested though.
• Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
