Highlight part of the screen

I am working with a video of a high school soccer team and I need to highlight a single player on the field. I would like to slightly darken the entire image except for an oval in which the single player would show through at the regular brightness.
Alternatively, an arrow pointing to the player would work (without darkening or highlighting the player).
I just need to single out the player at the beginning of the clip - I'm not intending of having the oval or arrow follow him through the entire sequence.
Can someone tell me a good way to do this? Thanks.

Put one copy of the video on V1 in the timeline. Apply one of the image control filters to darken the image.
From the Generators make an oval shape. Use the controls to make the right shape. Put the oval on V2.
Put another copy of the video on V3. To the clip on V3 use Modify>Composite Mode>Travel Matte - Luma.
Animate the oval shape by keyframing the motion controls to move the shape around the screen as needed.

Dim part of the screen

In previous versions of Captivate you could dim part of the screen, highlighting an area you want to focus on.
I cannot find that in Captivate 7.
Is that still avaialble, and if so, where is it?
Thanks.

Insert a highlight box and check the option under Properties > Fill and Stroke for Fill Outer Area.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. :(

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.

There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
Best of luck.

My ipad gets a black bar over part of the screen then freezes up, please help

Just today my 16gb ipad 2 ,bought in December 2011, started to get a black bar over part of the screen. Sometimes 3/4 of the screen sometimes 1/4 then it freezes up and will not do anything. If I try to reboot it I get a faint backlit only. Any help would be appreciated!

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac.

My cursor flits away to another part of the screen while I am using it.

When moving the cursor around the screen with the mouse, often the cursor will just flit away to another part of the screen and I have to move the mouse around in a circle to find it an drag it back to where I was using it. Any ideas what is causing this?

I believe this has been attributed to some shift in the state of your wifi connection. It usually happens for me when something is being downloaded, or a download finishes. Sometimes the wifi "fan" in the menu bar is changing from 3 to 4 bars, or 4 to 3. Often I don't know what it is changing, but the cursor just jumps.
I searched for this problem (months ago) and someone on the forum said it was the wifi doing it. Turn off the wifi and connect by ethernet and see if it continues. With the layout of my office, I'm not able to try that, so I just put up with it. Seems it doesn't do it as often anymore, but it does continue.
Hope this is helpful. Joel.

Is it possible to use a part of the screen area

Maby a silly question, but has anyone an idea how to play a game for example on a partial area of the hugh 27inch screen? Is there a utility that places full screen applications like games within a window (games that don't have a window mode on its own)?
It seems to me it would be practical (especially) for children to use just about 20inch on the lower part of the screen when playing games with quick moving objects.
tnx

The variable "name" is a lot less important than you think. In fact, when your code is compiled, the computer doesn't care one jot about the name of the variable.
You should not worry about trying to do this, but rather should tell us the reason why you would even want this. If we knew that, we could show you a better way, guaranteed.

I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

If I do not select F11 ( full screen ) a big part of the screen "falls" of the right hand side of my monitor and is not readable, I am not able to find the neccesary adjustments.

With F11 all OK.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When my screen saver has been on a while, I have to use the cursor to "rub out" part of the screen saver to see my login section. Can anyone help me with this?

I don't have a solution for you, but just wanted to let you know I used to have the exact same problem. I resolved it (for the most part....about 90% of the time, anyway) by adjusting the screensaver and power settings to never let the computer go to sleep.

Screen recording - recording part of the screen or low resolution

I want to record part of the screen in quick time x, has anybody found a way to do this?
As a work-around, I tried reducing the screen resolution to 640x480 or 800x600 but the recorder doesn't seem to pick anything up at this resolution. After recording nothing happens then when i switch back to full resolution i get the message:
*Recording failed because no data was received.*
Make sure that the media input source is turned on and playing.

I am just trying to figure out how to record a screen shot, i dont care if its full or part screen, any advice for me?
Not sure if there is any difference between OS 10.6.1 and 10.6.2, but all I did was select the "New Screen Recording" File menu option and press the record button (circle with red dot in center) to make a test recording which was automatically saved in the Movies folder when the "stop recoding" key shortcut sequence was pressed. As to SnapzProX, it is a commercial program which you can purchase. It allows fullscreen/partial screen recordings and can be set up to record a fixed area of the screen or a fixed size portion of the screen area which follows the cursor around the screen.
