How to apply an effect to just the subject in After Effects CS6

Hello,
I would like to add an effect to just a person in front of a green screen. I've created an adjustment layer that produces the effect and placed it above the footage layer. How can I have the effect just apply to the actor and not carry over and fill the rest of the screen?
thank you,
Robert

Don't be afraid of using multiple layers and duplicates of your keyed footage.
Another thing you can do is apply the grid effect to a solid, pre-compose the solid, then use Set Matte to extract the alpha from your keyed layer. There are a million ways to do what you want to do but most of them can't be done without using multiple layers.

How to apply transitions between clips in the same track?

Hey guys,
I'm in Uni on Final Cut Pro 5 and all the videos and discussions tell of how to apply transitions between clips in the same track.
I like to have my clips on different tracks so that I can overlap them at specific points but I don't know how to do this?
If I have track one. . .which ends. . .and have track 2 beginning below that (and have it overlapped for a few seconds) I don't know how to enable the transition at the point where track 2 begins.
Can anyone help?

Yep I understand that.
Let's say I overlap track 2 as I don't like the beginning of it. . .so I want the transition from the end of track one to track two to occur in the middle of track 2 - should I just trim the track to the point I want the transition to occur as opposed to have it overlapping?

I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update

Dears at Apple:
I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update on any of my devices(iPhone 4s, iPhone Touch (4th Gen), iPad (3rd Gen). Most of the "Podcasts" I listen to are music content based and wanted to apply sound enhancements(EQ) like before when integrated with ipod function. Can you consider to "fix" this issue?
Many Thanks!

OK Emanuel I found a solution! I dowloaded and installed "Denon Audio" app from the iTunes store & it works great! It has an EQ you can set curves on manually or use the (few) built in pre-sets. It is a player like the Music app that comes with the iPhone, etc. but restores the EQ functionality so we can adjust the audio of PODCASTS:-) Until Apple fixes this what I consider a bug I will be using the Denon app as my default music player!

How do apply my company logo to the signature of my iPhone?

How do apply my company logo to the signature of my iPhone?

Unfortunately you don't, as the iOS signature settings are limited and downright crappy. You can't even use a color other than black.
There's a few signature apps in the App Store that might suit your needs though.

How long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping?

Is there any time limit for how long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping? Are you always able to revert back?
Thanks.

DAM = "Digital Asset Manager", a fancy name for a filing system.
iPhoto keeps the original and makes one (usually much smaller) copy based on your edits. It is non-destructive in that if you crop, and later change the color, iPhoto will go back to the original and apply the corrections to get the new image, it will not simply modify the preview.
If you want a high quality copy of the image, use the export function which allows you to specify the size and compression.

How do you clear completed updates from the app store after downloading is complete?

How do you clear completed updates from the app store after downloading is complete on iOS 7.0.2?

You don't. It's how things are done now, likely to accommodate those that have auto update turned on. IT's been said that the updates will just drop off after a period of time but time will tell on that.

How do I add web part in the event receiver after the site is provisioned in SP 2010?

How do I add web part in the event receiver after the site is provisioned in SP 2010?

You try the below steps:
1. Use long operation to provision the site, so that it does not time out in process.
2. After provisioning, you can add a page or add the web part directly to landing page of site.
For each of the above steps you can find the sample code pieces.
if you couldn't get that, let me know. I will share with you.
Thanks, Ashish If my response has helped you, please mark as answer.

How to Stop Firefox 18 From Restoring the Previous Session After a Crash

Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7
When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I do not want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How do I prevent Firefox from restoring the previous session after a crash?
Please note:
1- My home page is set to "blank page"
2- I have configured Firefox to NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields and passwords.
3- Even in Safe Mode (i.e., with all add-ons disabled), Firefox STILL restores the previous session after a crash.

hello Bulldogger, please try the following in order to switch off sessionrestore completely: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preferences named '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' and '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo'''. double-click on those entries and change both of their values to '''0'''.

You will find links to many free tutorials in the

Rating is being applied to EVERYTHING, not just the active image- please help.

Seemingly out of nowhere a particular feature in LR stopped behaving the way it normally does for me.
When I am in the Survey view (in the Library mode) and I have a number of images selected because I am trying to make my selections, it suddenly started applying my star rating to the entire set of say 10 images I have selected, and not just the one that is active. This is very strange- I have never seen it behave like this before. I can't remember hitting anything or changing any settings, but it just seemed to have started out of nowhere.
It appears that if I go in and "manually" click on the star scale that appears below each of the images when you mouse over it, THEN it will apply the star rating to just that one image, but I can no longer just hit the "5" key and have just that one image that's active get the 5 star rating. It's doing it to everything.
I've tried just restarting LR but that didn't change anything. Please please help, as this is really messing up my workflow.
Thank you,
Robyn
I did visit the page below to confirm that it should indeed not be behaving in this manner:

Rick,
Thank you so much for your time and support!! Unfortunately I don't see that as an option . I'm including a screen shot of what I do see. Anything else you have to offer would be very much appreciated!
thanks again!

How to apply an effect to multiple/all clips

I'm sure I'm missing something elementary here, but I can't find a way to apply an effect to multiple clips at once in PE7. Specifically I'd like to apply the Auto Levels adjustment effect across all clips in my project (makes sense because they were all recorded at the same time), but at best can onely copy the effect from one clip or section on the timeline to another; one at a time. When working with a project that has upward of 100 scenes, copy and pasting to each individual clip seems like a lot of tedious work that should be easier.
Does anyone have any suggestions or information that could point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Dale

Dale,
You have discovered one of the little "gottchas" with Copy/Paste Attributes - it does it for all.
I do not know of a way to eliminate Effects globally, i.e. multiple Clips in this case. Unless there's a neat workaround, or secret switch, I think it will be by hand. That is the way it is in PrPro. Don't know about PE, but In PrPro one can select some of the Effects to Copy/Paste Attributes (for many Effects, but not all).
Side note: Render your Clips and watch them closely with Auto Levels. I find that it "pulses" and that manually setting Levels (not the Auto one) is better.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to apply gradient effect to JTable

Hi
It is easier to apply gradient effect to JTable by overriding paintComponent() and giving gradient effect using the following code
Graphics2D g2 = gradientImage.createGraphics();
GradientPaint painter = new GradientPaint(0, 0, gradientEnd,
0, height, gradientStart);
g2.setPaint(painter);
Rectangle2D rect = new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, width, height);
g2.fill(rect);
but my problem is , after applying gradient effect the cell contents are not visible.
what i need to do to make the cells visible..... please any one help me to sort out this.....
Thanks in advance.......

Well the basic code should be:
// do gradient painting
super.paintComponent(...);But you will also need to customize the renderers to make them non-opaque.
And you may also need to make the table non-opaque.
If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.
