How do I create a 5.1 surround droplet from Compressor?

In the compressor manual it specifically suggests that the user create a droplet in order to automate the process of encoding and combining split surround files.
"Assigning Files to Surround Sound Channels with Droplets
You can further streamline the channel assignment process by encapsulating the “automatic” method described above in a Droplet."
It also suggests a file-naming scheme to use so that Compressor automatically recognizes and properly assigns each file to the proper track in the 5.1 mix.
No matter what I try, however, the droplets I create in an effort to do this refuse to accept the input files I provide them. The droplets allow me to drag in virtually any audio file (mono, stereo, even 5.1 surround), BUT if those input source files contain any of the character strings that the manual suggests to use, ie. "-L", "-R", "-LFE", etc., it will not let me add them to the source file queue. If I remove these suffixes from the files (although they are followed by file-type suffixes, such as "aiff", like they should be), then I can drag the files into the droplet queue without any difficulties whatsoever, but then, I presume, Compressor has no way of properly assigning these tracks in the output file, so changing the file names is inimical to my objective.
Has anyone done this? I feel like I've tried everything. If I drag the same properly named files into the batch window in the Compressor app itself, it recognizes them any without difficulty and labels the batch as "surround". I have an enormous number of split surround files, however, and I don't want to have to drag each set into the Compressor window manually. I want to automate the process using a Droplet, just like the manual suggests!
I've already posted in the Compressor 4 forum (which is what I'm using), and haven't received any responses yet so I figured I give this forum a try.

How do I create a single image using PSE12 from multiple originals where each original is still separate?

How do I create a single image using PSE12 from multiple originals in which the originals are still separate (i.e. side by side or arranged in a square)? I could do this in PSE2, but can't find how to get PSE12 to do it.
Grecophile55

In PSE2 there was a single photo-merge. I browsed all my images and I could then click and drag each to its new position before saving. There doesn’t seem to be a similar facility in PSE12.

How can I create a master PDX that pulls from multiple other PDXs?

I process aviation maintenance manuals, with the individual manuals having their own PDX. How can I create a master PDX that pulls from the individual PDXs?
I have access to myriad versions of Windows and Acrobat so there's that...

I’ve got 100s of manuals each with their own PDX. I’ve been asked to create a master PDX that in effect combines all of the individual PDXs into a single (cross-manufacturer, cross-fleet, cross-manual-type) searchable PDX that can be easily updated.

How can I create a array with all files from a directory

How can I create a array of files or varchar with all files from a directory?

I thought the example could be improved upon. I've posted a solution on my blog that doesn't require writing the directory list to a table. It simply returns it as a nested table of files as a SQL datatype. You can find it here:

How can I create a function of sound volue from time using AudioQueueBufferRef??

I have a question how can I analyze class AudioQueueBufferRef, for creating a function of sound volue from time?? Here is what I get . there is AudioQueueBufferRef fillBuf = audioQueueBuffer[fillBufferIndex]; volume height is 2000 elements from SInt16* coreAudioBuffer = (SInt16*)fillBuf->mAudioData. so function looks like H(t*i)=coreAudioBuffer[i] where t = 1/sampleRate = 1/22050 but here is a problem. my program gets sound and uses a class AudioStreamer for this. AudioStreamer has 3000 lines when I play music from Free Internet Radio - SHOUTcast Radio - Thousands of Free Online Radio Stations. internet radio - my problem is as follows either I dont know where 85 % of sound information is or I dont know how I can analyze class AudioQueueBufferRef
Here is the code where I analyze Buffer.
{@synchronized(self)
if ([self isFinishing] || stream == 0)
return;
inuse[fillBufferIndex] = true; // set in use flag
buffersUsed++;
// enqueue buffer
AudioQueueBufferRef fillBuf = audioQueueBuffer[fillBufferIndex];
fillBuf->mAudioDataByteSize = bytesFilled;
// ======>in this place I analyze Buffer
if (packetsFilled)
err = AudioQueueEnqueueBuffer(audioQueue, fillBuf, packetsFilled, packetDescs);
else
err = AudioQueueEnqueueBuffer(audioQueue, fillBuf, 0, NULL);
when bitRate = 24 buffer has the following options int size=(fillBuf->mAudioDataByteSize) == 2000 double sampleRate=asbd.mSampleRate == 22050 numberOfChannels = asbd.mChannelsPerFrame == 1 it turns out that duration of play buffer float bufferTime =(size/numberOfChannels)/sampleRate == 0.1 number of buffers per second float numBuffersInOneSeconds == 1,5 duration of play all buffers per one second numBuffersInOneSeconds * time == 0.15 so it is 15 % of all information
as a result If buffer comes at 0.0 seconds he lasts up to 0.1 seconds.farther in my function there is no volume. second buffer comes in 0.7 seconds and lasts up to 0.8 seconds. but in reality the sound doesnt breaks. Maybe I'm doing something wrong .please tell me.
just for comparison
when bitRate = 32 buffer has the following options int size=(fillBuf->mAudioDataByteSize) == 2000 double sampleRate=asbd.mSampleRate == 22050 numberOfChannels = asbd.mChannelsPerFrame == 1 it turns out that duration of play buffer float bufferTime =(size/numberOfChannels)/sampleRate == 0.1 number of buffers per second float numBuffersInOneSeconds == 2 duration of play all buffers per one second numBuffersInOneSeconds * time == 0.2 so it is 20 % of all information
when bitRate = 32 buffer has the following options int size=(fillBuf->mAudioDataByteSize) == 1660 double sampleRate=asbd.mSampleRate == 44100 numberOfChannels = asbd.mChannelsPerFrame == 2 it turns out that duration of play buffer float bufferTime =(size/numberOfChannels)/sampleRate == 0.02 number of buffers per second float numBuffersInOneSeconds == 10 duration of play all buffers per one second numBuffersInOneSeconds * time == 0.2 so it is 20 % of all information

You cannot write custom commands for expressions.
That being said, there are a couple of options:
Create a subsequence with a single step. Use a parameter of the sequence as "function parameter".
Create a custom step type including a substep module which implements the function. Add an edit substep to enable the user of the steptype to gracefully change the parameter.
Store the variable parameter in a local/file global variable and modify the value in each step. This will, at least, keep the "function" the same for every step.

How do I create a transparent watermark for video from a white background logo in AI CC?

If I have a .PNG logo with a white background, how do I create a transparent watermark to use in video and photo content using Illustrator CC? Whenever I import the logo, it opens a new window without a transparent background. Thank you!

It's fairly easy if you know Ai. (Image trace is okay, but I'd recommend making your own (the right way), then use any Adobe pro video app to composite on your video, no need to export, just use the .Ai file)
But an easier way might be to use the .png by itself if it carries an alpha channel.
After Effects, PremierePro, and possibly AME will let you do this.
QT7 will also allow you to do it.
You could create a logo in Draw, then send it to Illustrator or Photoshop (it carries an alpha channel - bonus!)

How can I create a diagram where equal data from different cells will be added to one sector?

Hi,
I'm a new Mac user, so I have a lot of problems and questions every day. Moving to Mac from PC is not an easy thing)
Here is my problem:
I need to create a few diagrams for my science work, but can't correct one mistake. Every time one data from one cell from the table takes its own place in the diagram. But I need to ceparate equal data to show it is one section.
An example:
Sex
Age
Female
18
Female
18
Female
18
Female
25
Female
30
We need to create a diagram to show that we have
60% - 18 years
20% - 25 years
20% - 30 years
But Numbers doesn't show it that way. Here how it does:
So please help me. How can I do that?

Hi ProCauda,
Some example data of people and their age:
The COUNTIF function will give the number of people of each age.
In another table, B2 contains this formula (and Fill Down to the bottom of B)
=COUNTIF(Table 1::B,"="&A2)
In this example, 3 people are 18 years old, 0 people are 19 years old, and so on. Use this table to calculate each age as the % of the total, then use that as the data for your diagram (graph, chart).

Ian.

How do i create and pass a global variable from one vi to several sub-vi's?

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create a program that opens several front panels (sub-VI's) in sequence. in each front panel, the user would open a file that the name is obtained from the previous sub-VI. I would like to know how i could pass the filename and refnum of the file thorough from one sub-vi to another. A global variable would do it in VB, but how do we do global vars in LABWIEW. thanks
Papish

I put together a sample VI and Sub VI that illustrates how to pass a Refnum and access a data file while in a Sub VI.
For multiple VIs just repeat the sub VI process.
You probably don't wanna use a Global Variable if not needed (can add to the mess down the road haha).
Let me know if it helps you out! Or if I can clarify anything else!
Chances are if you have seen VI in the forest it hasn't fallen.

How do i create a single sign on environment from scratch?

setting up a single mac mini 10.6.6 server in a small law firm and want to create a sso environment from scratch. i have currently got everything working fine as an open directory master, but every reference to sso that i can find, talks about joining an existing sso environment, or joining ad, creating a triangle, but never a stand alone od master to create the sso. am i missing something, or is it not possible or practical to do in such a small office with just a few users?
thanks for any help understanding this.

i appreciate your input Rikakiah, although i am glad i don't have to pronounce your alias out loud
anyway, that's starting to sound like something i might want to try, because so much of what i want to do is not really working the way i'm doing it. it had crossed my mind, but wasn't sure i was going to avoid problems by using network home folders instead of mobile accounts. at this point, i have only one of the four workstations bound to the server, which was purchased as a mac mini snow leopard server with the dual internal drives, and was set up as a mirrored raid with the 2 internal 500 gig drives.
i am seeing what seems to me like some odd behavior with network accounts working with the log in screen (all the users show up in the log in screen properly as network accounts, but only one account, the one that matches exactly the local account user name and password and allows log in) and auto mounting group shares are not seeming to work at all. what seems odd, is that management of the local account seems to be working great, and has merged management with the local account. the user still has all their existing documents and settings, but i can see that the things like the control panels i locked them out of are grayed out. so to be try to be clear here, i have 4 network accounts set up in wgm, and on the log in screen, i see 3 network accounts with the typical network user icon, and what looks like the original account with the original icon. i can only log in using that account, but when i get in there, it's managed ok. i expected to see the original local account and 4 network accounts, but evidently using the same user name on the server as the local account caused this. when i try to log in with one of the other network accounts, the login screen shakes it head no.
for the record, from another post talking about network log in issues, on the local system, setting System Preferences>Accounts>Login Options>Allow network users to log in at login window>Options>Only these network users: can mess this up, but my settings there are fine, since i had never messed with that. it says "allow all network users" or something like that.
here's what i am trying to get to: auto mounting group shares and single sign on for afp group folders and ichat, and as you said to allow the users to move around from workstation to workstation as needed. as you know, there's a myriad of settings to make this all happen. i don't see how anyone can help me fix the 2 things that aren't working, unless i give a long winded explanation of what my settings in workgroup manager and server admin are, so here goes…
i have dns and open directory running fine, a static map of ip addresses so that i can do authenticated directory binding, which seems great so far. in wgm, i have under preferences / computer list the one computer i have bound - computername$ and under window checked always, heading - directory status, list of users, show local users, network users, computer administrators, and other. under options checked always, enable fast user switching, computer administrators may refresh or disable management, and start screen saver after 5 minutes. under access checked always, clicked the gear button once which caused network users - allow - * to appear in the access control list, local only users may log in, local only users use available workgroup settings, and combine available workgroup settings. scripts and items have never checked.
then for workgroup folders to auto mount, i have set afp auto mounts for each of my 2 groups, partner admin and support staff in server admin / afp. under accounts / groups / support staff / group folder, the support staff auto mount is selected, and the user i am working with is obviously a member of that group under the members tab. finally, under preferences / groups / support staff / items, always and add group is checked and the support staff volume shows up in the list. authenticate selected share point with user's login name and password is grayed out and not checked, and merge with user's items is grayed out and checked. i'm not sure what i am missing to get auto mounting group folders here. btw, the user can for sure log into the group folder with the same user name password that she logs into the workstation with, if she does so manually under the go / connect to server menu.
oh, and ichat seems to work as expected. she gets sso there! sweet!
if i do end up trying to go for network home folders, (i would like to see auto mounting group folders working first, before i try) i found something that looks like a no-brainer to add to the mix…

thanks everyone for your interest in helping me deploy this server.

How do I create a series of text frames from a list of files?

And I'm back again.
This time, I'm wondering how I can use JavaScript to place a series of text frames from a list of files, preferably with the ability to specify criteria before running the script.
Here's the details: I work for a newspaper and I lay out stories for the pages (in addition to the other part of my job, laying out ad spaces, as detailed in a previous thread, for which I requested another script, thanks Andreas and Jongware ). The file names for the stories are labeled for the section they go in, like L- for Life, C- for Comment, S- for Sports, etc.
I'd like to create a script that asks for a criteria in a text box (where I can type L-, C-, S- or whatever else I need) and then places all of the stories, in a specified directory, whose file names match what was typed in the box, one text frame for each.
I can't rightly tell if this is a simpler or more difficult script to write out, but I plan on putting research into it as usual so I can develop it myself. However, I figured it would be more efficient to ask first, then research, so that while I'm researching, I can refer to the opinions of my fellow forumites, and/or the mods.
Thanks again for any assistance offered.

How do I create a gallery wrapped canvas image from my photo?

I take portrait photo's, what I want to ask is how do I turn them into an image for my website that looks like the photo is wrapped around a canvas frame, I have seen loads of tutorials that create a cube effect, but I want it to look like its on a gallery wrapped canvas.
I would really appreciate some ones help with this
simon

Thank you for your reply John
To be honest I dont know, I think the latter
If you view anyones website that sells canvas prints they have the canvas image where you can see 3 sides of the canvas and the photo wrapped around it, i want to create that image with my own photo's in photoshop (if thats possible) I am new to photoshop and dont really know to much at the moment

How do I create a list which compiles data from all lists on the sharepoint?

I have many pages to my sharepoint which all have separate task lists. On my overview page I want to create a list so that all the tasks and data inputted into the other task lists on the site are compiled together in one list. This way I have a long list
of tasks in one place, without going to each list. How would I do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to collect all the task items on a site to one task list.
For accomplishing your request, you can create a Reusable Workflow.
Open your site with SharePoint Designer 2013->create a Reusable Workflow named task, choose 2010 platform and Task content type->choose Copy List Item Action->Copy current item to you target task list.
Then in every task list, create a workflow based on the new reusable workflow.
Besides, you can use Project Summary web part or Content Search web part to accomplish collecting all task items.
If there still exist some problems, Please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Lisa Chen

How can I create and design a page UI from blank page in jdev10g?

Hi.
How can I implement a page from scratch page?
I can create a master-detail page as the OBE site.
But I'm not sure how to create page using component pallets, instead drag data-control model to page.
It means I should design UI with component pallets,
How can I do?
Thanks.
Edited by: user10615931 on 2009-8-18 上午4:13

Thanks.
It is helpful to me.
What I want to do is use component pallets and add action to the component for creating a page instead using executeWithParam operation and drag view object from datacontrol to create page.
How can I do?
Thanks
