How to make diferent aspect ratio's look the same

Hi. I probably haven't put the question correctly, but I am putting together a show reel and my footage is 16.9 widescreen and some is 4.3 square. So I want to put the 4.3 into the same shape as the 16.9. Is there a way without stretching or cropping

Edit the 16:9 into a 4:3 sequence and it will letterbox. Stick some fancy graphics trickery or something over the letterbox area at top and bottom to mask it.
Edit the 4:3 into a 16:9 sequence and it will pillarbox (vertical black bars). Stick some fancy graphics trickery or something over the pillarbox area at left and right to mask it.
I have done something like this one once, duplicating the current video track over and over, shrinking them down and stacking in columns at each side. then I offset each one by a few frames, so they never show exactly the same thing. To illustrate, here's a horizontal version done using the same principles:

How to make several threads do smth at the same time?

Hello!
Is there a way to make several threads guaranteedly do something at exactly the same time? The code below creates two identical Random objects with approximately 90% probability, in 10% cases Random's are different (Random constructor takes current system time as its argument). But how to ensure it 100%?
import java.util.*;
public class SyncThreads extends Thread {
     static Date DATE;
     static long CURRENT_TIME;
    public static void main(String args[]) {
          DATE = new Date();
          CURRENT_TIME = DATE.getTime();
                new SyncThreads().start();
          new SyncThreads().start();
     public void run()
          try
               Date thread_date = new Date();
               long diff = thread_date.getTime() - CURRENT_TIME;
                        //sleeping untill it's 1 second since the 1st line of main() executed
               sleep(1000 - diff);
               int r_i = new Random().nextInt();
               System.out.println(r_i);          }
          catch (InterruptedException e)
               System.out.println("Find out what InterruptedException is!");
}

and even if the PC has multiple processors you are still not guaranteed that it will run the seperate threads at the same exact moment. The JVM for the platform would have to be optomized to make use of multiprocessors for starters, and even if it is it still doesn't guarantee it, the way the OS handles applications (i.e. the JVM) and the way the JVM handles multithreads all will have implications on whether or not two threads actually truly run simultaniously.

How do I get my email to look the same as in the browser as in the design

When I send the test email there are to much padding between the words. How do I get rid of that

Unfortunately not all browsers support html and css consistently. Here's a guide that will show you what's supported - https://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/. Best practice for now is to use tables with inline styles and hard-coded widths. Also, take a look at these stock email templates - http://themeforest.net/category/marketing/email-templates. It's a good place to start.

How can I get my layout to look the same across multiple browswers?

Hello forums! How are you guys?
I use Dreamweaver to edit my layout for my site. However it looks fragmented on certain browsers and perfect on others.
www.ifuxkswiththat.com is the site.
Is there something that can keep this uniform amongst other browsers?
Check it on yours...it might work for you and it might not

Your best bet is to get it right in something like Firefox or Safari, and then use some conditional CSS to tweak it in IE browsers.
So put things like this in your header :

You can specify the particular IE browser above or use, for example <!--[if lte IE 7]> for IE 7 and below, or <!--[if lt IE 7]> for IE 6 and below.

How to make a job run hourly at the same interval?

We have a requirement to launch a job at 10 minutes past every hour.
The job averages anywhere from a few seconds to 55 minutes.
On every other job scheduler that I've used, this would be a no-brainer...I would simply select the option to "reschedule from the last time the job started", and move on.
Tidal, however, does not offer that option....one can only "reschedule from the last time the job finished".
Does anyone else have a similar requirement?
If so, how do you handle this?

When you select the "Rerun same occurrence" option on the Schedule tab you get the behavior you indicated. If you select the "Run new occurrence" option you will get the behavior you seek.
The question I always ask when setting up a repeating job is does the job need to always repeat at a specific interval or not.
I admit this solution means you have multiple instances of the job in the schedule, which I don't care for because it adds to the items displayed. I never allow a job or group with "Run new occurrence" to be at the top level for this reason.
Thanks.

How do I make Organizer and Editor open at the same time?

I'm new to PSE 10 and want to know how to make Organizer and Editor open at the same time. I can get the Organizer up, but have to pick out a photo and click on Fix: Full Photo Edit to get Editor to open. Is that the only way to do it?
Thanks,

Create Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor:
The Editor's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The Organizer's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"

How do I make my animation look the same in different browsers?

When I play my animation in different browsers it don't look the same as in the preview. In IE some of the parts of the animation have disappeared and in Chrome the pats are no longer in their right places. See picture below.

Ah, found the issue, the problem is with the name of the two images,
genomförande (instead you can use genomforande)
Grå bakgrund (instead you can use grabakgrund)
Seems like IE is having issue with those special characters.

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio. DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.

How do you make multi cameras look the same?

So I have three cameras used in the shoot. Lighting is from regular track lighting most commonly found in ware shouse type venues. Cameras 1 & 2 are one foot off the ground pointing ever so slightly up. Camera 3 is shooting from 15 feet off the ground pointing down. How do I make them all look the same in post production? When I try to increase the brightness in camera 3 it looks washed out. When I try to dim the brightness in 1 & two it looks dark and shadowy.

Ideally you start with this:
• 3 identical camcorders.
• Manually set the white balance in each camcorder onsite before doing a shoot.
• Make sure the 'program' setting is the same in each camcorder, e.g. they should all be "Auto" or "Spotlight" or "Portrait" etc. - the one you prefer.
• If possible, manually set the exposure in each camera
What probably happened is your camcorders' auto exposure did its job and the cams pointing upward were underexposed because the sensor was affected by the overhead lights.
If your clips' brightness & contrast are reasonably close, start by applying the Color Corrector filter to each clip. Use the Visual control (you will see the button when you apply the filter) and then use the Eye Dropper tool to set the white & black points in each clip. If the cameras weren't too mismatched this may be enough to correct the brightness mismatch. I doubt you will get a perfect match but hopefully close enough that it's acceptable.

How to obtain proper aspect ratios for sequences in Premiere Pro?

I'm posting it here, because I use AE SDK for the effect.
I've got a RED sequence in Premiere that is 2048x1152. The footage is 2816x2304 anamorphic 2:1. The sequence preview is 1920x1080, like any Premiere preset over HD. I can't seem to get the proper size and aspect ratio to resize the UI controls and position the effect.
Normally I'd use this:
scale_x *= (PF_FpShort) in_data->pixel_aspect_ratio.den / (PF_FpShort) in_data->pixel_aspect_ratio.num;
scale_x *= (PF_FpShort) in_data->downsample_x.num / (PF_FpShort) in_data->downsample_x.den;
scale_y *= (PF_FpShort) in_data->downsample_y.num / (PF_FpShort) in_data->downsample_y.den;
But in this case it doesn't seem to work. Also standard procedures for UI resizing from SDK examples fail.
How can I obtain the proper aspect ratio and sizes?
Thanks in advance.

Premiere Pro is not well designed for this type of collaborative work flow. That's not to say something can't be made to work, just that it may not be as seamless as you'd like.
For starters, there's no way to really 'merge' the changes made by two different people working on the same project, so one of the primary rules you'll have to implement is that only one person at a time can work on any given project, and you'll have to be in constant communication as to who is working on which project, with person A leaving it alone until person B gives the go-ahead. At which point B will have to leave it alone until A gives the go-ahead. If you don't do this, your changes will overwrite each other and you'll get nowhere.
Second thing to be aware of is that clip markers are stored with the media, so while sending only the project file back and forth is fine for most things, it won't work with clip markers. You'll also need to transfer whatever media files have the markers. Given the relatively large size of media compared to project files, it may be best to simply forgo using clip makers.
If the hard drive setup is not identical on both machines, you may have to relink the media with every swap of project files.

How can I make a custom style look the same in both printed and online?

My specs:
RH 9.0.2.271
Windows 7, 64-bit
Word 2010
The Background Info:
So I created some custom css styles to try and mimic the look of a message box in our documentation. Here's the css code:
.MsgBox {
    color: #000000;
    border-left-style: Solid;
    border-right-style: Solid;
    border-top-style: Solid;
    border-bottom-style: Solid;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-color: #eeeeee;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-bottom-width: 4px;
    border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
    width: 350px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
    margin-bottom: 7pt;
.MsgBoxTitle {
    color: #000000;
    border-left-style: Solid;

    border-top-style: Solid;
    border-bottom-style: Solid;

    background-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-bottom-width: 0px;
    border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;

    width: 350px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
My HTML Code:
<div class="MsgBoxTitle">
    PC-DMIS MESSAGE:
</div>
<div class="MsgBox">
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated. </p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
The Expected Output:
Here's how it renders in a browser (the title is MsgBoxTitle, the body is the MsgBox style). I'm happy with how it looks there, even if the box shadow doesn't always display:
The Ugly Printed Output:
And here's what it looks like in the printed output.
Ugly. Are there any tricks to get the printable (doc) output to match the online? Ideally, on the printed output, I'd like to have all the white space in my pseudo message box removed so it looks just like the online.

Hi Peter. Thanks for the reply.
I assumed that if I used the project style sheet during the export, Word would convert the style so that it looked the same as in the HTML. Is that a bad assumption? I'm currently not mapping to any template equivalent for these message box styles. I did try it as one of my attempts, but I couldn't figure it out. It never seemed to take the style in the .dot.
Anyway, if I use just 1 style, such as just the MsgBox, I obviously don't get the white paragraph between the title and message. That white paragraph comes from the first <p> tag in the MsgBox style. But I need to have the <p> tags in there because they're better for our localization process than line breaks.
I did do some tweaks that made it look better. Basically I structured it so that the MsgBoxTitle div is now inside the MsgBox div. Something like this:
<div class="MsgBox">
    <div class="MsgBoxTitle">PC-DMIS MESSAGE: </div>
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated.</p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
And then I adjusted my styles borders, padding, and thickness. That helped it look more connected, but still doesn't look quite right:
Would love to get rid of that white space after the title.
If you have time, I would be interested in a more detailed example of how you did it.

How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

In 10g, we can make a physical standby database in the read_only state. But in 11g, no a read_only state for a physical standby database. How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

Hi
read-only mode (for 11g physical standby)
A mode in which a database can be opened that allows queries, but disallows modifications.
A physical standby database can be opened read-only so that queries may be performed. If a license for the Oracle Active Data Guard option has been purchased, a physical satndby database can be open while redo apply is active. This capability is known as Real-time Query.

FileSystemTree and "ordinary" Tree - make them look the same?

Hi,
I wondered if anyone's worked with Adobe AIR's FileSystemTree and the "ordinary" Tree in Adobe Flex, making them look the same? If so, can you give me some hints on how to make them look the same when it comes to icons, disclosure icons, branches, leafs etc.?
The reason I'm asking is this:
Some time ago I decided it'd be nice to build a sort of FTP Client with Adobe AIR. The client would, among other things, have a tree for local folders and a tree for remote folders. It seemed ideal to use the FileSystemTree for the tree containing local folders. The tree with remote folders is built using the "ordinary" Tree with data supplied via a Microsoft .NET Web Service. However, once I started down this road I soon realized the two controls don't look and behave the same (even though FileSystemTree apparently derives from Tree).
Some examples:
- Tree seems to use easing when opening a folder. FileSystemTree just "opens it".
- FileSystemTree displays a disclosure arrow icon regardless of whether or not a directory has children. Haven't got the Tree to display the same icon when a remote directory is empty.
Any help would be appreciated! I'd also like to point out that I'm quite new to both AIR and Flex so maybe the problems I see are actually easy to solve.

There is no bookmarks tab, expect you are referring to the bookmarks menu on the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help") on your XP system.
Once your restore your menus on you Window 7 system, you can get rid of the bookmarks button. After going through the 10 steps below your toolbars on your Windows 7 system will be more usable again and like your XP system, none of which has anything to do with Sync.
