How can I creat buttons that...

eventually apprear along with the background movie?
I used Motion to create a short background movie (15 seconds) and I would like to add some buttons at the bottom of the screen. What I would like to do is to make those buttons to be gradually appearred.
Thank you very much for your advices and instructions,
Kind regards,
James
P.S. I use DVD Studio Pro 4, part of Final Cut Studio '05
2xPB15 1.33GHz 512Mb Combo, 80GB HD   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

What you do here James is to add the button text and whatnot to the Motion footage that you created for the background, making the buttons fade in or appear as you want. Add enough footage to the end for the user to make a choice - typically 30+ seconds where things are still and steady. You then import this in to DVDSP and set it into a menu, then adjust the loop point to be where the buttons have settled in place. You can now add an overlay file to the menu so that you get the buttons highlighting as you want, by creating this in something like Photoshop. For the purpose of the menu you treat it now as a simple overlay menu and draw out the button rectangles over the button text and overlay highlights.
What happens is the overlay gets attached to the loop point marker so that the background plays, the buttons fade up and then the overlay kicks in which makes the buttons 'clickable'. The static portion of the menu remains in place until the end of your footage so that the user can make a selection. If they don't, the menu loops back to the loop point and the user has another 30+ seconds to make their choice. When the loop occurs the buttons will momentarily flash off and back on again... all that is normal.
Have a read up on setting the loop point in the DVDSP manual... good luck!

  • How can I create symlinks, that it can see users over FTP-.

    Hi,
    I have started FTP on my Mac OS X 10.8 Server. And I need now in the FTP folder to add (link) some other directories, that I need, that the people can reach.
    I try it via symlink, but the FTP doesn't see it. I can see it only over sFTP, but when I try to go to this directory, I have only errors "Can't access it". I try to set permissions too, but nothings helped.
    Please can anybody help me and tell me, how can I add links, that it's seen and accessible over FTP.
    Thanks.

    Better?  Safer?  Sure.  Don't use ftp.  Intercepting ftp traffic is trivial, which means you're basically posting your login credentials.  Who knows what will then gets transferred to the ftp server.
    In general, you're looking for the classic use of a dropbox; a classic lowercase-d dropbox, and not the cloud-based file-sharing service now known by that name.
    For folks that need access to specific folders, I'd set up a login that only has access to the target folder(s), and would then set up the dropbox folder to allow only write-only access for that login, and probably then with a folder action or a local service or a cron or launchd job that moves the arriving files somewhere else.
    Note that this appears more complex than you're probably considering with ftp not because of the use of sftp, but because allowing even remote ftp users read access into the dropbox cab lead to the same problems — exposed credentials meanthat  the other contents of the dropbox are exposed, and remote users can load all sorts of stuff into the dropbox.
    Here's a Google version of the dropbox and a Superuser discussion.  I don't know of a pre-packaged packaged ftp or sftp server or an available set-up script that provides the dropbox features off-hand, but I'd look for third-party clients such as Rumpus, and see if one of those has that feature.

  • How can I add buttons that do different things to each row of an rpt result

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to figure out how to add buttons to each row of a report. Here is the scenario:
    report query returns a set of data that needs to be "approved". The options are "Append", "Replace", or "Reject" (I want to make the results look like so:)
    Person1 today blah, blah blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    Person2 today blah, blah, blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    PersonA today something, blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    and so on.
    I'd like to set up the page so that there is an append, replace, reject button for each row returned by the report. So when the "Approver" clicks on the append button, something happens for that row, etc. How does one do this? So far I can only get the buttons to show up in the region. I also thought it might be possible to somehow turn the append, replace, reject text into links that called a plsql proceedure that would handle the action, but I'm not having any success with that idea either.
    Edited by: user10361829 on Sep 29, 2009 12:10 PM

    What I've done is make my report query as follows:
    select field_a, field_b, field_c, 'Append', 'Replace', 'Reject'
    from table_x
    where field y = :PX_ID
    That gives me the words (append, replace, reject) in the report. Then I go to the report attributes section and make a link out of the columns (append, replace, reject) so far, so good.
    Next question is how to make clicking on those links activate an update action on tableN. In the column_link section there is a box marked "Request" that looks like it might be relevant because Request is a term connected to buttons, but I've no idea how to use it. Or, can one use the tabluar form element section of the report attributes page to connect the Append (pseudo column) to an action? I've looked at your example (Sam) with the delete button, but what I really need to see is the Apex menu that sets it up because there are so many levels in the interface it is not intuitive (at least for me). I know exactly what I want it to look like but I'm missing the crucial step to get there... Thanks for your help so far.
    Column link section is described below :
    Column Link     Top
    Link Text      flashlight          
         [*Append*][Icon 1][Icon 2][Icon 3][Icon 4][Icon 5]

  • In an InDesign book, how can I create links that work across documents?

    The hyperlinking works fine when it is contained within a single document in a book, however doesn't work across documents.

    Do you mean cross-references? You can do those, but they are known to be "fragile" and unreliable.

  • How can I creating hyperlinks that work for iOS reader?

    In a pervious thread the notion that hyperlinks withiin a PDF document deployed on an iPad do not work.
    Is there a work around?
    Perhaps <www.mysite.com> ?
    The Word document is a summary prepared by an author with embeded hyperlinks. Works on the desktop but nothing happens in iOS.

    So I use the link tool in Acrobat Pro, add the url, and I'm good to go...
    Would be a useful addition in the next release...

  • How can I create clearer, sharper images and buttons in Muse?

    How can I create buttons and images that have a vector like clarity? When I upload images (buttons, jpegs and pngs) a lot of the time they seem to have a slightly fuzzy quality to them. I have read previous posts on this matter and none have helped. Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    When you place your images in exactly the size you saved them in Photoshop or whatever, Muse doesn’t touch it.
    The quality in this case is the quality you saved the image.
    The best way is, to examine in Muse the available pixel size of the image and then use Photoshop to obtain this size
    A helpful widget to examine the potential size of an image in advance, is the "lore ipsum"-Muse-widget, that you find in the free widget collection "Andrew’s Prototypes":

  • I have an edit button in my e mail account but when I press it I don't get the ''get new mailbox' button. How can I create e mail folders? Thanks.

    I want to create e mail folders for my goole account. I go to the account and as suggested in the forum i tap on edit. Then instead of getting at the botton a button that says 'new mailbox' i get 2 boxes one red that says delete and one blue that says move. This is on an ipad 2. I have also an ipad 3 and there it does work. I have checked the settings in both ipads and they seem identical to me.
    How can I create the foldesr then on teh ipad 2?

  • Could any one tell me that How can i create the service User ie j2ee SID

    hi all,
    In the implementation of SPNego Authentication schem in my portal system.
    i want to create the service user ie .j2ee-<SID>.
    <b>could any one tell me that How can i create the service User ie j2ee-<SID> in my visual administrator??</b>.
    any help will be highly Appretiated .
    thanks and regards.

    Vineet,
    the user management tab opens in Read Only mode - thats why the button is coming as disabled. There is a button for switching into Edit mode - it looks like a pen / pencil on the top bar. Click on that - your "Create User" button would be enabled.
    Also regarding creation of Service User via code level you can see <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?messageID=1057074">THIS</a> thread. And <a href="http://HERE">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f9/e3162ec55f4df6922d161f3785012a/frameset.htm</a>HERE[/url] is the SAP Help documentation on required permission settings.

  • How can I create a short-key of an iconic button in Developer-6i

    I am using oracle-9i and Developer-6i
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello,
    In the BUTTON PROPERTY set the property Access Key to any of your keyboard letter let say S.
    Then for that button you can use Alt+S. It will fire the trigger WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED or it will work same as you are pressing button by enter or mouse.

  • How can I view my photos in "Events" like in iPhoto? How can I create events?  I have 55,000 photos and 1700 events so the only way I can possibly manage my photos is using events that are one slide in size.

    I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images.  In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides.  How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto?  Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
    Thanks!

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

    With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
