How to add moving shapes over video?

Hi,
I am making a short video that explains how to use some software for my job. I want to make a red rectangle appear around a particular item to highlight it (such as the mouse pointer) and be able to follow the motion of the item. I saw in the Boris documentation there was reference made to vector shapes, but I could not figure out where to create them. How can I create simple shapes that can move around and dynamically change size? Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to say I am using Final Cut Express HD 3.5.

The only way you can do it within FCE is by using motion keyframes. Create the shape in Photoshop, making sure it confirms to your video settings. You may also be able to create the shape within FCE by using a combination of Color (from Video Generators>Matte) and applying Mask Shape to it.
Set the shape on the video track above your clip (ie clip on V1, shape on V2). Click on the shape to open the motion controls in the Canvas (make sure Image + Wireframe is selected in Canvas). Now use the Motion contorl tab in the Viewer or the Motion handles in the Canvas to move the shape, setting Keyframes to animate the motion

How to add record voice over for a video file

I have a video file (wmv) already prepared, and all I would like to now do is record a voice over for this file using Soundbooth CS4. My hunch is that I need to import the video into a multi-track file, and then I expect I'll export the multitrack file back to the WMV when I'm done. The problem is that when I hit the record button, I'm expecting to see the video playing but I don't.
Is there a way to add a voice-over / narration to an exisiting video file (in this case a video file without an audio track at all)

When you are recording, you are creating a new audio track and not playing the video, so you won't see it advance.
Best bet is to open the video in WMP, and record your audio in SB while it plays, to get the timing right, then open the video in SB and past the recording into it.
I'm not sure, but I believe the reason you can't play the vid and record at the same time is in case someone is recording new audio for a clip that has audio in it already, the old audio would play at the same time the recording is taking place and would screw it all up, so it either records one or plays the other, but not both at once.

How to overlay a shape to video

I am editing my football highlight video and at the start of each clip I would like to add a circle or shadow around where I am on the screen for a just a second or two into each clip. I have looked at every option in the program, is this even possible in iMovie or no?

Karsten Schlüter has posted some good ways of doing this on his blog. You cannot do this in iMovie alone, but you can create these shapes in another tool and use them in iMovie.

How to add a locally stored video file to a presentation

Hi all ,
I want to add a locally stored video file to a presentation .What is the url that i need to use..
Ur help is much appreciated
Thanks

The recommended procedure is to create the presentation on the DMM (upload the video to the DMM) then create a deployment package using the presentation created on the DMM. Once you deploy it to the DMP, the DMM will FTP the video along with presentation files to the DMP which will contain the links to play the video that will be stored locally on the DMP.
You may want to review the following thread to see how to trigger the local presentation to play and how to update it later:

Button Skin: How to add button properties (over, down,up)

Hi all,
     I made a custom button "skin" because I want my buttons to be images with NO box or border around it and it works great, but I don't know how to add the button functionality. ex. In "over" state buttons tend to light up and in "down" state they tend to get darker. Anyone know how to apply this to an image??? below is my code. Thanks guys!!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
             xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
             xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="64" height="64">
    <fx:Metadata>
        [HostComponent("spark.components.Button")]
    </fx:Metadata>
    <s:states>
        <s:State name="over" />
        <s:State name="down" />
        <s:State name="up" />
        <s:State name="disabled" />
    </s:states>
    <mx:Image source="@Embed(source='assets/images/lightbulb.png')"/>
</s:SparkSkin>

You could try something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
             xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
             xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
             width="64" height="64">
    <fx:Metadata>
        [HostComponent("spark.components.Button")]
    </fx:Metadata>
    <s:states>
        <s:State name="over" />
        <s:State name="down" />
        <s:State name="up" />
        <s:State name="disabled" />
    </s:states>
    <mx:Image source="@Embed('assets/images/lightbulb.png')"
              source.over="@Embed('assets/images/lightbulb_lit.png')"
              source.down="@Embed('assets/images/lightbulb_dark.png')"
              source.disabled="@Embed('assets/images/candle.png')" />
</s:SparkSkin>

How to add highlight mark to video?

I'm a novice video editor. I need to produce a sports video, and I need to highlight an individual player by putting a circle, an arrow, or some other type of highlight around the individual player for a second or two. Anyone know how to do this? I know that iMovie has no such capability, but I'm hoping that someone could refer me to third-party software that could do this.
Thanks in advance!

Karen -- THANK YOU! I used the technique you suggested with PhotoShop, and it worked GREAT.
To make it easy to position the circle that I created in PhotoShop, I did this:
1) In iMovie, place the cursor (that might not be the right word to use, maybe I should say the time index?) in the place where you want to add an overlay circle. Create a still image by control-clicking. Set the length of that still image to however long you want your overlay circle to last (e.g. 1 second)
2) Open the still image in PhotoShop.
3) Add a layer
4) Add an image on that layer. I used a large "0" (using the type tool) which I then filled with red color. The background layer shows you exactly where to place your image.
5) Delete the background layer.
6) Save the image as TIFF with a transparent background, as you suggested on your web site. Save it to "Photo Booth" folder.
7) Find the image (the highlight) in iMovie. (It will be in the photo browser window.)
8) Drag the image on top of the still image that you created in step 1.
9) Now you can either move that still image (with the new overlay circle) to wherever you need it in your movie, or you can drag the overlay image on top of your original video.

How to impose a logo over video in FCPX?

Hey there. I am working on a video clip and I want to impose a logo over the video as it plays. The file is a jpg file. Someone told me to convert it to a png. I just dont know how to do this. transparent image? I need some help here....step by step....lol

drag the picture over the clips in your timeline
resize it by using the Transformation settings, position it
=> you get a tiny rectangle with your logo
if your logo is NOT an rectangle, the graphic file has to contain alpha-info = transparency; jpg is a codec which doesn't transport alphas ...
example:
on left, a logo, jpg, rectangle
open it in Preview,app (pre-installed on any Mac)
click on Selection, choose the Magic Wand for transparencies
click into the white 'background' and drag the mouse to in-/decrease threshold
release mouse, background selected
hit the back key = erase selection
save new version as png, check alpha
dragging THIS png-version onto the clips in your timeline keeps the individual form, use the transform settings to make it smaller and positioning it ...

How to add website name to video with QTX?

I want to add the name of my website to video clips in such a way that it will be difficult for others to copy the video, remove my website name and republish it without any credit to me. At present I am using QuickTime to 'Save for Web' and then uploading the resultant file (M4V) to my website. The videos are just video blogs so they're not high-tech productions!
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. I used to have Quicktime Player 7 Pro. I now seem to be running QuickTime Player 10.0
I cannot find a User Guide to QTP 10. The user guide for QTP7 does refer on page 35 to adding text to a video but a) it refers to a Clipboard I can't find and the menu options don't match what I'm looking at in QTP10; and b) if I can find a way to follow these instructions, how easy will it be for someone to simply download my video file and remove the text anyway?
I'd appreciate any help or advice you can offer.

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. I used to have Quicktime Player 7 Pro. I now seem to be running QuickTime Player 10.0... The user guide for QTP7 does refer on page 35 to adding text to a video but a) it refers to a Clipboard I can't find and the menu options
If you had QT 7 keyed for "Pro" use when you upgraded to OS X.6, then a Snow Leopard versions of the QT 7 Pro player should have been placed in the "Applications/Utilities" folder automatically. Alternately, if you still cannot find QT 7 on your upgraded system, you could try using the free MPEG Streamclip application. In many ways it functions as a QT 7 Pro alternative for conversions, merging files, and such but does not have QT 7 Pro's layering and masking features. However, it does have a built-in text "watermarking" feature in the "Adjustments" window. I.e., instead of using the QT X "Save for Web" option, you would use the MPEG Streamclip "Export to MPEG-4" option and add your "text" watermark before actually performing the export. Alternatively, many QT 7 Pro users add a graphic watermark or logo as a means of identifying their content. If interested, here are a couple of old QT "Quickie" tutorials for adding a graphic logo/watermark:
Adding a Graphic Logo
Adding a Graphic Watermark
how easy will it be for someone to simply download my video file and remove the text anyway?
If you embed a watermark or logo before exporting your file to its final compression format for posting to your site, then it is virtually impossible to remove totally without editing each frame of your clip at the pixel level. (It would, however, be easy to cover the logo or watermark with an opaque mask.) On the other hand, if you add the logo or watermark, text or graphic, as a post export edit in its own track layer, then it is quite easy to remove it using an application like QT 7 Pro or, in rare cases, by simply copying the main audio/video tracks to a different file container type.

KMTL - How to add Column for OVER DUE DAYS in report

Dear Concern,
We are Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 users, We want a little change on Reminder Report (In report there is due date we inserted column for OVER DUE DAYS right side to Due Date column in we required Expression of which type of formula that
shows us the Over Due Days for particular.
Please every one confirm or suggest for this error.
Thanks & regards,
Laxman Sonar

Hi Laxman Sonar,
Per my understanding that you have an date field(Due Date) in the report and now you want to get the over due days based on this field and display at right of the date field in the report, right?
I have tested on my local environment that we have two method to do this, one is to add the datediff functon in the query to get the overdue days and another method is to using expression in the report.
Details information below for your reference:
Method one:
Modify the query as below to get the new field(OverDue Days):
SELECT DueDate, DATEDIFF(day, DueDate, GETDATE()) AS OverDueDays
FROM tableName
Method Two:
Add an calculated fields and then add the expression below to get the value for this field or just add expression directly in the new field:
=Datediff("d",Fields!DueDate.Value,Today())
If your problem still exists, please try to provide us some sample date and more details information about your requirements.

Add button URL over video

Is it possible to place a clickable hyperlink image over a video? Thanks in advance.

Yes. Put the button in state 2 of a multi-state object, setting the MSO to auto-play, no delay, minimal interval, stop at last image. The button will then remain in front of the video while it plays, and it can be tapped to launch the in-app browser.
