How to freeze background while main character continues to move?

I'm not sure what the term is called, but I'm sure you know what I mean. Like in the Twix commercials, when it "pauses" lol. What plug in or how can I create that effect using FCP? Thanks!
GC
PS..what's the term?

hm. B version works then only, if the main character moves a little. And this is very long work for you (many keyframes).
1. move the v1 to the v2.
2. select your frame, wich you want to freeze
3. Shift+N (Make freeze frame) and drag the v1
4. put this to the v2 (original) video:
Choose Video Filters/Matte/Eight point Garbage Matte and reposition all the 8 points! (around the main character) Modify the feather if you need.
5. If the main character moves a little, then you perhaps don't need modify the 8 points, but He/she moves more, then you must use keyframe in this filter.
But I think the best (most beautiful) solution can earn with the bluebox.

Just downloaded Lion 10.7.5 and it has stopped Minecraft working correctly. Screen jumps like an earthquake and character will not move. Any ideas? Thanks, John

Just updated OS X to latest 10.7.5 and I am using Minecraft 1.3.2.
After loading software Minecraft screen is like being in an earthquake jittering up and down while the character will not move out of its existing square. I can use tools but not move.
Anyone any similar experience or solution?
Thanks

Thanks Tom. Whilst their site did not resolve the issue you did make me think about creating a New World in Minecraft. This created fine and does not exhibit the problems. I guess the last game is just corrupt and not an OS X issue and is just a coincidence.
Thanks

Youtube video's seem to "freeze" the image while the audio continues playing. Never had that problem with Internet Explorer...how can I fix this?

I used to use a different...server?...Internet Explorer. Before, when I used that, I could watch video's on youtube and they would run smoothly-image and sound in perfect sync. Now that I'm using Firefox per suggestion of a computer savvy friend, I can't watch youtube vid's in the same way. Most of the time, the audio will keep playing, but the image will stop. The only way I've discovered to prevent this is to be playing with the mouse on the side of the screen constantly. (which, when playing music video's for background while cooking dinner in the kitchen, it's rather impractical to be running back and forth to be playing with the mouse)
I'm not a very computer savvy person. I'm using a laptop...it's an Acer...I think I have either Windows Vista or Windows 7...

Thank you very much.
I scanned my computer and see that it is not a virus problem. The problem lies with FoxNews.com not being compatible with the latest Flash Player or plug-in. I can view on-site videos from within Firefox on all sites except FoxNews. It is the only site that has a huge separating space in the middle of the front page. and that displays a large area of code words where it should have an ad: "clicksor_default_url = '';clicksor_banner_border = '#99CC33'; clicksor_banner_ad_bg = '#FFFFFF';clicksor_banner_link_color = "
I ran the super bug-killer "ComboFix" (thinking the code was from the "Clicksor" virus) and was relieved to discover that it wasn't a virus.
I can easily view videos on FoxNews from within Internet Explorer (and there is no "clicksor" code displayed in IE either). The problem lies somewhere within the Firefox version of Adobe's Flash Player /plug-in or FoxNews' incompatible code. Users are being kept up-to-date with the latest Adobe updates, but FoxNews must be using old software and needs to catch up. There must be a lot of people having this problem.

Hello, I update my mac pro to 10.10. Why the photoshop cs6 change to slowly now. When I change the tools like brush to command+Z, It's will be freeze a while. why? and how can I improve?

what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke. Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that. Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

Want to know how to check for new line character in text file

Hi All,
I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.
Thanks
static int readandwriteFile(Logger logger,String filepath){
          BufferedWriter out = null;
          BufferedReader in = null;
          File fr = null;
          int get_count = 0;
          try     {
          if(new File(filepath).exists())
          fr= new File(filepath);
                    System.out.println("FileName: "+fr);

     else{

     out.write("0");
            out.close();
               }          //Reading of the row count file ended.

          catch(Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
          return get_count;
     }

You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
do{
//your code
}while(text == "")

How can I code to play audio continuously from page to page in iBooks for reflow ePub

Hi,
I have tried and successfully completed the iBooks ambient soundtrack option in Fixed Layout ePub. It works fine.
But while trying the same in Reflow ePub, it is not working in iPad iBooks. I have latest iBooks version and latest iOS version in my iPad.
Please let me know how can I code to play audio continuously from page to page in iBooks for reflow ePub?
Thanks,
Sundaram

As soon as the user turns to the next page, the audio stops.
That's how it works in all cases.
the book is a read aloud book.

How to add background color in JFrame

I have three classes, Car, CarComponent, and CarViewer. I don't know how to code background color. Do I add it to CarViewer where the JFrame is or CarComponent?
CarViewer:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class CarViewer
   public static void main(String[] args)
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();
      frame.setSize(300, 400);
      frame.setTitle("Two cars");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      CarComponent component = new CarComponent();
      frame.add(component);
      frame.setVisible(true);
}CarComponent
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
   This component draws two car shapes.
public class CarComponent extends JComponent
   public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
      Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
      Car car1 = new Car(0, 0);
      int x = getWidth() - 60;
      int y = getHeight() - 30;
      Car car2 = new Car(x, y);
      car1.draw(g2);
      car2.draw(g2);
}

What JSG said, plus I really don't think it's a good idea to instantiate new Car objects in a paintComponent override. Painting methods should be restricted to painting activities, as a matter of principle.
One alternative is to construct your Car instances in a separate method and call repaint() when done; another is to provide a Car method say moveTo(int x, int y) OR refactor the draw(Graphics g) method of Car to draw(Graphics g, int x, int y). Both these suggest that you maintain the Car references as instance fields of CarViewer.
In future (not this time), Swing related questions should be posted in the [Swing forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]

How to change background color in online editor

How to change background color in online editor

Jeff,
if you try to change all the plsql keywords to the same background color (that is not either white or black or blue) via the options panel in SQL Developer (Code Editor > PLSQL syntax colors), you will get the new background color in the worksheet only for the areas with plsql text, while the areas without any text will have the same background color as the base color scheme you started with. This means that there is no way to change the "general background" color via the options panel, but you have to use the same background color of one of the predefined color schemes.
This seems to me a bug, but probably it's not considered high priority, so it will not be fixed for the time being.
I would like to stress the fact that being able to change the color scheme of the development environment that you use every day about 8 hours a day can make quite a difference on your eyes at the end of the day.
Thanks,
Paolo

How to switch off my main screen (Imac 24") to use an external proyector?

Please Help!
How to switch off my main screen (Imac 24") to use an external proyector?
It's not comfortable when you want to see a nice movie!
Thanks
Jack

As I already said in my first reply post, you cannot turn off the iMac's display. The best you can do is display black, which many applications that have a +full screen+ mode will do, if the full screen mode is on the other display.
Alternately, you can move the menu bar (along with Dock and disk icons) from the iMac's screen to the second display. This is done in System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab, by dragging the white bar in the diagram from one screen to the other. Once the menu bar and other features are on the second display, the only thing showing on the iMac's display should be the Desktop background. If you pick a Desktop background that is all black, your iMac's display will be showing a black screen (although it will still not be turned off).

Is it possible to play audio from video in the background while using a different app?

I would like to be ale to play audio from a video file in videos (or av player hd) in the background whie using a diffent app in my iPad 2. (ie watching a video while taking notes on the content or highlighting an e-textbook).
Is this possible? Either through the original iPad functionality or by downloading a separate app?
Thanks,
mji

Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else. If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

How to fade background music out and fade in video clip audio Final Cut Pro X

I am putting together videos and photos made during one of the trips, and I have background music running throughout the whole movie, but I want to fade this music during some parts of the video to hear the original speech/sounds of it, and then increase the volume of background music again. I know that in iMovie it is done in a few simple steps, and it almost automatically fades the music in/out. But I cannot find any similar options in Final Cut Pro X, how do you do it there? (I have 10.1.2 version)

This is very easy to do.
Press the letter R to switch to the Range tool. Drag the appropriate range in the audio clip. Press A to go back to the normal arrow tool. Drag the volume down. (Alternatively, instead of pressing R and then A, you can just hold down the letter R while you drag; then release and you are still using the arrow tool)

How to display progress while CF is busy

Dear all:
My site has to perform some 30 CFIF logics on an estimated
average of 30,000 entries, subsequent to a form submission. That's
600,000 subsequent processes.
To avoid Request TimeOut, I staggered the process. The form
submits to Page1, which runs only 10 of the 30 CFIF, and does so in
CFLOOP batches of 100. Upon completion of the first 100, a
CFLOCATION reloads Page1 for the next 100 entries. When it has
completed all 30,000 entries ( = 300 times a CFLOCATION, followed
by a CFLOOP with a loop count of 100x), it CFLOCATION to Page2,
where it follows the same procedure, but this time on CFIF routines
11 to 20. And after that to Page3, where CFIF routines 21-30 are
completed and a CFLOCATION generates the results page.
ALL OF THIS WORKS BEAUTIFUL AND PRETTY FAST TOO. Done under
60 seconds or so. BUT.... 60 seconds to a PC user, online, is a
long time.
All this time, the form submit page is visible. Any dynamic
gif or flash freezes and the progress bar in the bottom of the
browser is showing that it is eager to display the next page. Then,
after 60 seconds the results page sohws up.
QUESTION: Is there a way to display a progress bar or
something like that? I tried IFRAME, but that doesn't work. I
syspect a FRAMESET probably will but I do not want a frameset. And
a popup would work too but I do not want a popup either ;-)
Don't spend hours on it, just let me know if you know a
trick.
Thanks so much!
Hans

Have you played with <cfflush...>
It allows incremental delivery of content to the client. You
could
theoretically output something in each loop and|or
cflocation. Using
<cfflush..> this output will be delivered to the
browser while the
processing continues.
P.S. Are you aware of the <cfsetting
requesttimeout="seconds"> property
that would allow you to eliminate the <cflocations...>
you used to avoid
the timeout. Just set it to 60 seconds or whatever you need
to run the
request.
Also if you have access to the enterprise CF server there are
async
gateways that could off load the processing to separate
requests not
tying up the one the user is using at all. This can also be
done with a
<cfhttp...> with a timeout="0" parameter. But more
sophisticated
methods to deliver the final product would need be be
developed with
these solutions.
