How do you crop blank sections of tracks?

...meaning empty sections of tracks at beginning and end, before the regions start and after they end in a GB project. (I already know you can make a selection with the Cycle Button to export.)

If you want to get rid of whole parts of your song, there's several ways: Select all regions (cmd-A) and push them to the left (lock the automation curves if you have any). Or use the Arrange Track: mark the empty area as a region and delete it.

How to suppress a blank section in crystal report

how to suppress a blank section in crystal report. although i have set the property
"suppress blank section "=true ,still i m unable to suppress my section
please help me to cope up this issue.
thanks in advance

One recommendation I make, when troubleshooting suppression issues, is to put a visible border of the section, area or object to be suppressed, and borders for all objects contained in the section or area. This will help isolate what's suppressed, and whether the section is truly blank or has content that's blank.
Furthermore, I recommend indicating which SDK and what version you're using when posting.

How do you copy automation from one track to another?

How do you copy automation from one track to another? Occassionally I mistakenly blow away a track's automation. I open up an earlier version of the song to try to get the automation. It doesn't seem that you can copy and paste the data. After some struggle, I find a way. Is there an easy way?

1. Copy the track containing the desired automation to another track. (create a track below it to keep things organized)
2. Double click on the region and delete the notes.
3. Now copy the region to the desired track.
P.S. Of course when Logic asks if you want to copy the automation data you say yes)

How do you crop shapes?

I was making a video the other day and I wanted to crop an image so it would fit into a thought bubble I had put on the screen. but I was only able to figure out how to crop top, left, right and bottom. I wasn't able to crop in shapes at all. How do you do this?

How to draw shapes with a curve:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS86176DC4-85CA-4593-8050-DACFEBCBA0B9a.h tml
When you draw your shape its a open bezier
when you are finished its a closed bezier
When you turn it into a shape to use as a matte for the track matte effect you change the Graphic Type to filled bezier and set the color to pure white.
If you need to animate the matte you place a garbage matte on a white solid instead of using the Titler. Unfortunately the garbage matte does not go beyond 16 points and no bezier handles.
You can feather a matte by adding a Fast/Gaussian Blur to the shape.

How do you crop an image, then modify that cropping?

This takes the cake for simpleton question of the day.
Cropping an image in Illustrator or in InDesign is a breeze.
But how do you control it in Fireworks?
I make a selection with the marquee tool, go to edit and choose crop selected bitmap.
Now, do you mean to tell me that there is no way to modify that crop after the fact?
Can you at least delete the crop without deleting the image?
This cant be this unintuitive.
Surely Im missing something...

Masks, yes, masks are great! If you just want to hide parts of your image from view, create a mask. Masks can be other bitmaps or vector objects. Create and position your mask object over your original bitmap. Select both then Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. You can easily undo the masking. White areas in a mask reveal the underlying object. Black or transparent areas in the mask cause your original image to be transparent for those pixels. Grey or semi-transparent produce a proportionally transparent result.
There's also the Paste Inside option, where you can paste your bitmap into a vector shape. The nice thing there is that you can move your bitmap around. (I'm pretty sure, anyway. I don't use this feature.)
Anyway. You have lots of options to remove or hide pixels. The approach you take depends on your needs and preferences.
If you have an image to share and a goal to achieve, we might be able to advise you better.

How do you crop square 1000x1000 px

I am supposed to crop square 1000 x 1000 px, seems impossible from the image size window, it looks like the canvas size may, but how exactly.
thanks

I hope we are talking about reducing the number of pixels of an image by cropping some of them away from a rectangle shape to make the square.
Make sure that the menu Window > Options (near the bottom) is checked "on." It would be much easier to have that tool bar available, as it allows you to set the width, height, and other crop options when the Crop tool is selected.
Launch your rulers if they are not on, View > Rulers
Make sure the rulers display pixels instead of some other units (inches for example).
Settings are under PS Preference > Units and Rulers, but the shortcut is easier, on a Mac I press Control key and mouse up and click the ruler to find the unit options. Pick pixels to make the crop easier.
Before you crop to a specific dimension, change settings in that Options bar, "1000" width and "1000" in the height field.
If the box adds "in" after your 1000, make sure to change "in" (inches) to "px" for pixels. Pixel-size image are typically used for the web or screen viewing, so you can add 72 (or whatever number is requested for resolution).
If you only have a couple of images to crop, you can just fill in the width and hold down Shift-key while you crop to get a square shape.
After you are through with the crops, be sure to "Clear" the entries, so those dimensions don't make you crazy when you try to crop other dimensions some other day.

Aperture - when you have saved a multi-media slideshow and you export it how do you make sure the audio track retains the volume drops that you programme in? I have video clips with audio, which when they play in the slideshow, I fade the audio (music)?

Aperture - Sorry I'm new to this so this might be a bit long! I put together an aperture slideshow with a backing music track and some video interspersed with photos. When I exported it to put on you tube the audio backing track had not saved the fades that I had programmed when the video clips played. The video clips had audio on them that I set at one volume whilst fading the backing track. these fades didn't save on the exported version. Any suggestions please? Regards, Maxjackpete

How do you document specific sections of a VI?

Once in a while I'll use a VI (perhaps one of mine or one from vi.lib) to do something in an unusual way. How would you document this usage so that when you go back to it some weeks later you don't have to scratch your head wondering why you did it that way? A free label near that VI (or wire) clutters the diagram and gets lost when doing a diagram cleanup (ctrl-U).
I can think of a couple of ways that NI could help us out. One would be to allow me to attach a documentation property to an instance of a VI or wire. This documentation would show up as either a tool tip when you hover the mouse over the object, or in the Context Help window. An indicator would be needed on the VI or wire to let me know that there is documentation available. The indicator may be something that resembles a coersion dot though in a different location so it won't be confused as a coersion dot.
On a related note, I've seen a few diagrams that have transparent labels on top of a wire indicating what that wire does. This is a pretty good kludge to document a wire. Perhaps a label property can be attached to the wire in much the same way as the documentation property I describe above. The label would be visible and automatically displayed on top of the wire. The key difference is that the label would be owned by the wire and could not get misplaced.

I like the way NI documents code in some of their examples. They use small labels with a number or letter in it. Then below is a huge label with explanations of each numer of letter. See the picture:

On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

.

Hey,
If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.
A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com
You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.
If you still have questions on how to do this, they can help you for sure.

How do you crop photos?

I have iPhoto version 2. I have printed the instructions in iPhoto Help for cropping photos, but I seem to need more help. Following the 4 steps in the iPhoto Help section, I seem to have isolated the part of the photo that I want to print and e-mail, but what comes next? Now that I have used the Edit button, and the crosshair pointer, and the Crop icon in the Edit pane, what do I do now? I want that part of the photo that I have identified. How do I get it?
iMac DV (Special Edition) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

With the photo viewed in edit mode you draw a
rectangle with the mouse around the part you want to
keep. Then you select crop. Your cropped photo will
then appear in the edit window.A full size photo of
the area your selected.
That's it.
Well, while I was waiting for an answer, I finally fumbled, bumbled, and stumbled to a successful conclusion--I hope (I won't know until my friend acknowledges receipt of the picture.
I have to say that in my case it wasn't a matter of "That's it". My first problem was getting the cropped photo by itself. I think that my problem here was that there were just too many EDIT buttons on my screen. I must have used the wrong one the first time I tried. After that there were problems at EVERY step. Also, even though I finally e-mailed the message, I couldn't quite cope with the ENHANCE and CONTRAST buttons. The problem was they seemed to be one-way streets. I mean that after discovering that I had gone too far and that I didn't like the results, I couldn't reverse things. "Undo ENHANCE" didn't do it, nor did another similarly named button. Finally, I found another button that did the trick. I hope that the ENHANCE, BRIGHTEN, CONTRAST, etc. features have been simplified and improved in future versions. I'll soon know when I buy my next Mac. Thanks for your help.

How do you crop a diagonal pattern in a way that makes it tileable for web?

At the moment I have just given up and made one huge image and kept it at around 800kb for a web background. However, I realize this is not ideal. I can't figure out how to make this pattern tileable. I figure there's some crazy math I have to calculate to figure in the crop size so that the cut off for the images fit perfectly, but I have no idea how to do that. Has anyone run into this situation before and found a solution?

You're doing it wrong! :-)
Use css to solve this problem. Although there is no css property to rotate a background image, you can apply a neat trick to create the same effect.
1) save your file as a regular rectangular pattern (17.6kb!) :
2) save this in your images folder in your site root.
3) to create a rotated background for your page, use this:
body {
    position: relative;
background: url('../img/bgrot.jpg') 0 0 repeat;
body:before {
    content: "";
    position: fixed;
    width: 200%;
    height: 200%;
    top: -50%;
    left: -50%;
    z-index: -1;
    background: url('../img/bgrot.jpg') 0 0 repeat;
    -webkit-transform: rotate(-20deg);
    -moz-transform: rotate(-20deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(-20deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(-20deg);
    transform: rotate(-20deg);
Done! Far easier, and more flexible. To see it work, check out the test I made at http://estructor.altervista.org/rotbg/test.html
You can inspect the code in your browser.
PS css transformations are unsupported in IE 8 - the background will still show, though (non-rotated). For IE8 you will might want to use a conditional comment in your html to create a conventional background pattern instead.
*update* I updated the example with a page wrapper element that uses the same background, but rotates it at a different angle. The trick here is to create a sufficiently large element that covers the entire box. Then you will have to set overflow:hidden; to hide the overflow so it contains the background pattern inside that box. It takes a bit of tinkering to get the working values for height and width, because it is slightly dependent on the actual content.

How do you crop in Quicktime?

I'm aware of the masking function, using a black and white gif, but I'm wondering if there is a way to actually permanently crop the movie, removing the information from the file to result in a smaller file size. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have been unable how to figure out how to do it with either Quicktime Pro or Autodesk Cleaner.
Thanks!!!

You have to re-compress the video. If you don't, the mask image must always stick to the video file. In such case, the file size won't change.

How do you crop backgrounds

I forgot how to crop my background out of my finished
project. I have photos and graphics that go past the size of the
document and when I export my .swf they show up (as opposed to
getting cropped out). I know I have done this before, but I can't
figure it out or find a tutorial that shows it. thanks!

You'll only see those in the Flash player. Once you publish
to a web page,
and view within your browser, you won't see content that
isn't on stage.
