How do I set the motion background?

If I have a timeline that is 1:30:00 in total length and for the motion background I want to start at 1:15:00 of the timeline and run for 10 seconds and then loop back to that point, what should I set the Duration and Loop Points at?

I guess I'm not sure what you are saying.  Motion Backgrounds apply to Menu's not Timelines.
Assuming you want a motion background for your menu, you would have to
1.  Cut the ten seconds out of your 1min30sec clip in AE or Premiere as Bill suggested and export it as .avi
2.  Import this clip as an asset into Encore and alt-drag it onto your menu to replace the static background.
3.  No need to set duration or loop point.
If you mean you want a certain 10 seconds of video playing in a video button, then
1.Set the poster frame where you want to start on the timeline and set the duration of the menu to 10 sec.
I hope this makes sense.

  • How do I set the desktop background to automatically change every so often?

    I had my desktop background set to change every five seconds, with the photos coming from a folder in my iPhoto files. I then made a new folder of background pictures in iPhoto, but when I switched to them and tried to make it "change every 5 seconds", or 1 minute etc., it would not change. I then reverted back to the original group of files and it STILL wouldn't change, even though it had been doing so for the many months that I had been using this set of background photos before.
    I have clicked on "change every 5 seconds" and "random order", but for some reason I can now only change the pictures manually by clicking on them in the right hand pane of the system preferences window. Please can someone tell me how to make them change automatically again...?

    Have you tried restarting your computer and attempting it again?
    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but a lot of people run their machines 24/7 and sometimes a little reboot helps.

  • How can I set the foreground/background color after using CSPickColor()?

    Hello all,
    Is there any one who has experience on changing foreground or background color using Photoshop Plug-in SDK?
    Currently I can get a returned color from CSPickColor(), but have no idea how to use it.
    Thanks!

    You can try a linear-gradient that starts at gray 0% and ends at white <whatever the percentage the thumb is at>.
            final Node track = slider.lookup(".track");
            slider.valueProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
                public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> ov, Number t, Number t1) {
                    double pct = (t1.doubleValue()-slider.getMin())/(slider.getMax()-slider.getMin())*100;
                    track.setStyle("-fx-background-color: linear-gradient(to right, gray, gray " + pct + "%, white" + pct + "%, white);");
            });Edited by: dgrieve on Apr 12, 2012 12:19 PM

  • How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).

    How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).
    What happens when i load the applet the table is blank and displays the background color is gray which we want to be white.
    We tried using the setBackGround but it is not working maybe we are not using it properly. Any help would be gr8.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't understand very well, but i guess that the background is gray when the table content's empty, isn't it?
    When the table model is empty, the JTable doesn't paint, so its container displays its background (often gray).
    In this case, what you must do is force the table to paint, even if the model is empty. So, you have to create your own table and override three methods :
    public class MyTable extends JTable
    //specify the preferred and minum size when empty
    myPreferredWidth = 200;
    myPreferredHeigth =200;
    myMinimunWidth = ...;
    myMinimunHeigth = ...;
    public Dimension getPreferredSize()
    if(getModel().getRowCount() < 1)
    return new Dimension(myPreferredWidth, myPreferredHeigth);
    else
    return super.getPreferredSize();
    public Dimension getMinimumSize()
    if( getModel().getRowCount() > 0)
    return new Dimension(myMinimunWidth, myMinimunHeigth);
    else
    return super.getMinimumSize();
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    if (getModel().getRowCount<1 && isOpaque()) { //paint background
    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
    else super.paintComponent(g);
    }

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

  • How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3  or for 16:9?

    How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3  or for 16:9 in Adobe PE12?

    PulcinellaNM
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 Update via a project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so. That is all background information for now.
    As for the question that you are posting....
    I think we need to go a lot deeper into what you are doing. Here are some considerations
    The aspect ratio setting is in the import settings. In Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, the project automatically sets the project preset based on the properties of the first video file that you drag to the Expert workspace Timeline. If your video's properties include a 16:9 flag, then the project settings will have a 16:9 flag (aspect ratio). If you do not want the project to set the project settings automatically, you can set the project settings yourself manually with File Menu/New/Project and then import your source video.
    If a problem exists where imported 16:9 video is presenting in Premiere Elements as 4:3 instead of 16:9 (typical of the JVC .mod file issue), then you can set the pixel aspect ratio under Interpret Footage feature inside the project workspace.
    At this point, I think it best for you to give more details and background behind your question so that we can be sure that we are giving you the information that you need to succeed in your projects.
    If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
    Thank you.

  • How do I set the default size of a new folder?

    I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

    If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
    There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

  • How do I change the tab background color in Firefox 4?

    I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Tabs are now fine black font on dark grey background -- very hard to read. How do I change the tab background color?
    I have searched and the closest I can come is some instructions for modifying .css files, and it is not clear that those instructions will impact the tab background color.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Similar question asked by TH received another response.
    Here is the address of that question and answer:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804464?s=change+tab+color+firefox+4&as=s
    I like the solution recommended there.
    Added information - after several days experience, I notice that some tabs occasionally revert to the original dark grey. So I am still looking for a better solution, ideally within Firefox rather than via add on. This seems like a basic setting for the browser that should be easy to change, rather than something so complex that I need an add on to change it. Or just build it without such a dark grey background to begin with and I would not need to change it.

  • How do you change the dashboard background in os x mavericks?

    How do you change the dashboard background in os x mavericks? plz help!!!

    I just discovered this by mistake.
    Select the picture you want as background, and in the Services menu (or contextual menu) choose "Set Desktop Picture". Then immediately switch into the Dashboard while this command is being processed.
    I was trying to change my regular desktop but discovered this changed the Dashboard background instead. I presume it is because Dashboard is considered a Space and different Spaces can have different Desktops.

  • How do i remove the white background from a logo and save it to my computer without the background

    how do i remove the white background from a logo and save it to my computer without the background

    Is the logo in a pixel layer surrounded by white?
    You could make it a layer if it isn't already, then use the Layer Style dialog and set the Blend If parameter so that it will make light colors transparent...
    You can composite it into a web page with transparency by saving it as a PNG file, as JJMack has noted.

  • How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

    How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
    Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting? 
    I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
    Thanks,

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
    Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
    As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
    If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
    Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
    And, remember, at the onset I wrote
    As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
    I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
    issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
    I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
    I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.

    Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

  • How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

    Hi Guys -
    Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
    Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
    On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
    Your help is appreciated!
    Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.

    Hey Rich.  Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section.   You don't have that?

  • How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code

    Hi

    How i can set the slected item of a DropDown component from backing beans java code ?
    it is binded with a database , so one field determine its display and one other field determine its value , I want to set the selected item of this combobox
    In back code i have both value and display values to use them .
    can some one give me some help ?
    Thanks ,

    See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    It says
    One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.
