How to make a timeline!

I need help making a timeline. A step by step instruction guide would be most helpful.
Thank you!

Yup it looks exactly like the one in Jerry's link. I tried going through that link again but it's full of cluster, and it's difficult to read & find instructions.
Start by downloading the sample file from Badunit's iDisc by clicking the link. Refer to that file when going through this message.
The File opens with Print View turned on. You may find navigation easier if you go to the View menu and Hide Print View.
In the Sheets list at the left, click on the Chart icon to select the chart and bring it into view on the screen.
Scroll down to view the Timeline table. If you've left the chart selected, you'll see that it's built from values in columns A and C of the Timeline table.
This table has three columns:
A: A list of dates
B: the event to go on the timeline for that date
C: A list of numbers used to position the marker for each date a convenient distance above the timeline.
I would start with an initial value of 20 in all of the active cells in column C. You might want to leave them as is for the moment.
Replace the years in column A with the years, dates or times for your timeline.
Replace the events with your events.
If you have more or fewer events, adjust the number of rows in this table to fit your data, then adjust the size of the rectangles showing the data selected for the chart.
No time for more at the moment, but that should give you enough to get started. More later tonight from either Jerry or me (or both).
Regards,
Barry

FINAL CUT PRO X (the latest version). I'm trying to upload my video to Youtube, I am getting flashing and orange bar in the frame timeline. How to make it STOP!?

FINAL CUT PRO X (the latest version). I'm trying to upload my video to Youtube, I am getting flashing and orange bar in the frame timeline. How to make it STOP!? It looks like it's rendering somthng but I just want it to stop flashing. I hope it didn't mess up the video...

You're in totally the wrong place... this is the Mac Pro (no Book) forum for hardware. You want
Final Cut Pro X: Professional Applications: Apple Support Communities
Hopefully, FCP X has an autosave feature Like Final Cut Pro Studio so that you may already have a recent copy. If I were in your shoes, I'd try an ESC or something similar before going to a Forced Quit.
Good luck

I've tried every online tutorial for timer.delay + experimented... how to make it work in this sitch

Hey,
I've read literally every single timer.delay tutorial I could find online, on youtube, the official documentation, tons of posts on this forum, etc. What I am trying to say is I looked everywhere before posting for help.
I have a timer running. It runs throughout the game. I need to modify the speed of that timer when a player either hits a certain second(won't work, because the timer is already running) or when someone gets a certain score(can't get it to work, because timer is running).... so my question is how do I get timer.delay to work when the timer is running throughout the entire game. I tried to control the delay by when someone gets a point, but that didn't work either. I am using a trace statement so I see the seconds and the timer speed. the code looks something like
randomvariable = new Timer(2000,8);
timer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loop);
timer.start();
function loop
// my looping code here
What I posted is psuedo code.
Any ideas on how to make the timer go faster without delay, since I can't get delay to work under the circumstances I explained? Or is there a work around that I don't know about? I will try to give back to the forums by answering other questions. Oh, I am running this on the timeline, not in a .as file. Thanks so much for your help!

That's what I thought. I thought if I set a delay inside the function or in an if statement for the var that prints out the timer decrease that it would work. It doesn't. I'm using Adobe AIR for IOS, but I doubt that makes a difference in this case. I write timer.delay=500; that should make the timer go at 500 milliseconds. My trace shows the amount of milliseconds didn't change throughout the application. It is quite bothersome, since everything else works and every guide and the docs say what I am doing should work. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Ryan Satterfield

Hint captions - how to make them work

Hello all,
Can someone shed light how to make hint captions work? I created a training progect with all default options - it generates all four caption: Text, success, failure and hint.
The problem is that hint captions are not shown when hoovering over the clickbox area... in fact they never show up whatever i do.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks!

OK. Thanks.
Now do one more thing: Select the click box object that you can see in this example and from the Modify menu item, click Arrange > Bring to Front. Then republish and test.
This is a bit of a long shot, but what I'd checking for here is that there is a known issue in Cp 5x where sometimes an object is shown as being at the top level layer in the timeline when in fact it may be several layers deep. So your click box might actually be underneath another object and thereby NOT seeing the mouseover to trigger the Hint caption.

Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition?

Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition like the opening of "Oh Brother where art though" ?
You know the scene at the start where it starts off Black and White then as we move down the timeline it transitions to a rusty brown gradually.
It's on the Apple site for FC Studio as a promo clip.

how to do a keyframe trasition in the Color FX room
I realize that you can "add" keyframes to the timeline in COLORFX, but I don't believe they are always observed, and then they usually disappear in retrieved projects, and aren't persistent if you leave the room. To remember where they are... you might mark in a keyframe on those frames in another room as a pathfinder. The behaviour is consistent with a creature of the six-legged variety.
Method 1. If you are trying to taper the effect (any effect) in COLOR FX, the most linear approach is to render two versions of the clip; one "with", one "without" and do an opacity fade once you have returned them to Final Cut. This gives you the most control, flexibility, repeatability and consistency.
Method 2. You may attempt to keyframe the bleach bypass settings within the node itself -- the preset that comes with COLOR doesn't have any controls, but the Nattress plugin does.
Method 3. Set up a "blend" node with your bleach bypass feeding one of the inputs and leave the second input to default to the untreated video... keyframe a transition from "1.00000" to "0.00000" and that should work.
Note: the keyframe timeline markers will disappear from the timeline if you exit the clip, but the effect is likely to persist. At least that was what was happening a couple of minutes ago... for me, the effect and blend performed the transition just like it was previewing when rendered. This strategy is subject to being created and rendered "on the spot right now", and I advise making sure you have your renderqueue settings ready to go... load the clip from the COLORFX room using the Mac command bar at the top of the screen and render it right away. Don't try to save it for later. Just Do It.
An announcement went around about two weeks ago that Mr. Deakins' website was back up and running, so give him another try... poor guy has been swamped probably doing Dreamweaver maintenance... yeah, that must be it...

How to make a link to an image in flash?

Hi,
I´m new in Flash CS3 and I´m trying to get some
answers to my problem.. The question is
that how do I create a link to an image in flash??
I know how to make a link to a text field but I really
don´t know how this could get working properly.. :/

Link to an external URL image? In AS 2 the code is
'getURL("putaddresshere")' and in AS 3 it's 'navigateToURL("")' ...
If it's a simple image, it's easier just to import it to the
stage, save it as a symbol, put it in a timeline frame and then
code your link so on click or rollover it goes
'gotoAndPlay(framenumber)'.

How to make the video looks greenish ?

Hi there,
Can I know how to make a video looks bit greenish ?
Thanks

Thanks Karsten,
Can I know, if I have about 60 cuts on the timeline and I want all the 60 cuts to be greenish, how do I apply to all at one go (instead of having to do one by one for 60 times !) ?
Thanks again

How to make agency-level HTML banner ads

I've done a ton of Flash banner ads at agency-level over the years, but I'm trying to figure out how to create html banners now, in addition.
Here are the HTML Ad Spec requirements:
- HTML code cannot exceed 3k
- 2 images maximum, total file size of images cannot exceed 20k
In Flash, I've used these extensions to publish and am finding it's difficult to meet the required specs by the ad hosts:
1. CreateJS (creates a small html file (3k or less), but requires to be linked to js files which are double what my swf would be)
2. Swiffy (puts out just one nice simple html file, but it's almost triple the size of my swf, coming in at 86kb)
I've also used:
Edge Animate (creates a html file, but also links to js files that are over double what my swf would be).
Either my animations have to become way less complex or I'm missing something in this new world of html animated ads. It seems there's little findable information on how to make html banners at the agency-level.
Can anyone educate me or point me in the right direction?

The easy answer is those libraries are full of functionality "you might use". Those libraries are not built like libs such as Modernizr where you can select the exact functionality you need to reduce the library size.
You're left with two options from there, neither are really ideal.
1) You can hand code the JavaScript you require. Libraries help by providing extensive functionality beyond your absolute needs as well as cross-platform tweaks so your results are expectedly similar in all browsers. By writing your own code (plus required tweaks) you can drastically reduce the JavaScript size (amongst minification and gzip). That puts all the hard work on you which may not even be possible or feasible in your projects timeline.
2) You can rely on newer HTML5 elements like Canvas, CSS3 and code from option #1. There are many effects in your example (directional blur, rotation, etc) that aren't easy to pull off but with the help of something like Canvas you can at least reduce the amount of JavaScript required. Think of it like a BitmapData object you can update at high speed that's mobile friendly. That aside, not all desktops users are guaranteed to support it and here comes the fallback bloated code.
Your ads compatibility requirements will guide you on either path. I'd probably opt to look forward with basic fallback (to a static image) and go route #2 with Canvas. If so, here's one of many tutorials/blogs that can get you started:

How to make dual mono output from one mono track

Please forgive my complete ignorance of music mixing/sound board terminology: I'm only using Logic Pro X because Apple deliberately made it impossible to use Soundtrack Pro as part of a roundtrip with FCPx. Soundtrack Pro is what I've always used for editing audio for video.
I recorded two tracks with the video: microphone on the right and and lavalier on the left. The mic was just a backup and the lav track is what I want to use. I imported the audio into LPx and now I want to use only the left channel but I want it to output equally on both channels. I've searched all over for a simple explaination (at least one who is not a music editor can understand) and haven't found one.
How can I do this? Thanks.
Second question: I found the little icon that lets makes the timeline scroll to follow the playhead (ridiculous that FCPx doesn't have this) but I can only make it work for one clip at at time. Is there a way to turn it on permanently?

On the Channels Strip (of the Audio Track with the Audio Region), ctr+click on the left segment of the Input Button. That opens a popup menu where you can select Left (only the left channel of the Audio Region is played as mono), or Right (only the right channel of the Audio Region is played as mono).
Once the signal flow of the Channel Strip is mono (one channel), you can use the "Mono➤Stereo" version of some plugins to convert the Channel Strip to a stereo channel.
About your second question. If you are referring to the little blue "Catch Playhead Button", that automatically scrolls the Workspace when the Playhead reaches the right border to keep the Workspace visible. You also can also enable the "Scroll in Play" mode in the local View Menu. That one locks the Playhead in the center and scroll the Workspace "underneath"
However if you are referring to that little Play icon in the left upper corner of the Region Header (only visible in the Editor), that one, the "Solo Play Button", only plays that Region in solo mode. It is basically a combination of "Play " and "Solo" in on button. You can find all those little informations and much more in my graphically enhanced manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works".
Hope that helps

How to make a button appear boxed in when clicked

For my Prototyping class I have to make an interactive fast food ordering system. I have majority of frames made I just need to add the interactive part to it. I am using AS2 in Flash CS3. I have the picture and the text grouped and are classified as a button. I want to make it so that when the picture or text is clicked it will make a black box appear around it, making it 'selected'. I've tried to add an Event Listener but couldn't figure out how to make the box appear on it. Any suggestions?
These pictures are basically what I'm trying to accomplish.
Keep in mind, I'm a Flash newbie, I have a probably 3 hours experience with Flash.
But I do have knowledge of basic Java commands, so I can understand code.
Thanks,
Dudejoe04

Onw way would be to create the buttons as movieclips so that when they are selected you move the movieclip's timeline to a rame that shows the rectangle around it. Another way would be to have the movieclips as separate objects that you make appears when its associated button is clicked. There are likelynumerous other possibilities.

Simpe Question: How to make .swf non scalable

Hey guys,
I have been trying to search for an answer on how to make a whole .swf file unscalable but I have only found information on how to scale flash files. I did find a post that mentioned the code "Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";" but when I add that to the first frame in my timeline, nothing happens. So any help on this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.
Note: I am using action script 3.

You can also use this frame action:
fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
to disable the menu use:
fscommand("showmenu", "false");
Hope that helps

How to make a MP4 H264

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone on here knew how to make an MP4 H264 file from the Flash CS4 program. I have a video, but I don't know how to make it into an MP4 other than save it as a Quicktime .mov file with no compression (compressing at all makes it look horrible) and then take that .mov file and make into an MP4 in Adobe Media Encoder. It's a semi-big file that way, though. Is there a better way to do this? I know that I could take an flv file or a f4v file and make it an MP4 file in Encoder, but I don't know if there's even a way to make my Flash file into a flv file from Flash other than to use another encoder, which I really don't want to do.
So, opinions would be great. How would you all make an MP4 H264 file from a Flash file?

It work perfectly, thanks Dean, and make me know in the next survey;
I usually get it late.....
I work with director since version 7, it's still a nice program for very professionals presentations.
More versatile and productive than flash for our point of view.
Fortunately I need poor programming knowledge but most graphic or communication skills.
With mp4 I can introduce video as a graphic component so After Effect (as before Photoshop)
became a contribution program.
But.
Flv doesn't work, is practically impossible to import the file into the timeline without having an error message.
Mp4 sometimes is not visible, if I go to play in editing mode.
Some suggestions?
I'm working on a Boxx Extreme. Win XP 64bit , 4 quadcore, 2 Nvidia Quadro CX graphic cards

PSE6 - How to make a full HD (1920x1080) TV slide show

I have a full HD TV (1920x1080, PAL).
How to make a slide show (wmv) with that resolution in PSE6.
Under "Send to TV" the option Widescreen High Definition (1280x720) is the best resolution.
Under "Save as a File" High (800x600) and DVD PAL (720x576) have the best resolution.
Thanks
Hagen

Hagen Dufner
These profile are for writing the .wmv file and are therefore found (as cited) going the "Save As A File" route. You are not going to access them via "Send to Premiere Elements" since no writing to wmv is involved there.
I too downloaded the WMEncoder 9. When I go the route cited down to tv_profiles and open that and when I click on one of the profiles, it now opens in the WMEncoder 9 Editor (Utilities). So you get an idea of what is required for what exists and edit one of these exiting profiles.
As I said, Photoshop Elements 6 already has a profile for 720p. I am in the process of trying to generate one for 1080i which will give me this option for exporting a wmv slideshow from Photoshop Elements 6 to Premiere Elements 4.
As I see it Premiere Elements 4 has project presets for HD 720p and 1080i. found in Setup via the program's Welcome Screen. As for Export of the project on the Timeline, you can:
Burn to Blu-Ray Disc, MPEG2 1080i NTSC Dolby or MPEG2 1080i PAL Dolby.
If you use Export/Personal Computer, both the MPEG and Windows Media formats have Presets for 730p and 1080i.
So it is not clear what profile you want to create in Premiere Elements 4. Right now Premiere Elements supports only 730p and 1080i. My work is still in progress, and at this time I do not know (a) if Premiere Elements 4 will support a 1080p profile if created (b) where such a file would go in Premiere Elements 4.
To be continued....
