How to modify clip borders after "Open in Timeline"?

I have a little clip in the main timeline history and I make "Open in Timeline". Now I can't modify the clip borders from inside this internal timeline. I thought I could grab the side arrows and extend or shorten this clip but I can't. Am I missing something???

Why would you want to do that?!
There are very few situations where one would be advised to use this.
Instead, if you want to use a larger section of the clip, drag it to a project timeline and extend by draggind the yellow lines at the ends of the clip.

How to modify LobSystemInstance properties after deployment

Hi,
I've added some properties to my LOBSystemInstance (like explained here:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010programming/thread/01ad2bf2-7ebc-434f-beac-e2d934847b34)
I cannot find where to modify the properties once the BDC is deployed.
Is it possible to have an administrator change the property values once the BDC is deployed? For instance when a DB password changes?
regards, Felix

Hi Felix,
You need to be using a custom connector to be able to use those properties and interfaces.
I have managed to get those elusive properties you are after, I followed the book from Scot Hiller and also this blog:

How to export clips to After Effects for Compositing

I want to export clips from my timeline into After Effects to add some compositing of clouds and sky replacement.
FCP 7
AE CS5
OS 10.6.8
I dragged the clips from my timeline back into the Browser into a new bin but when I export from there, the dimensions aren't the same as my project.
My project is 1920x1080 and when I export the edited (spliced) clips from the browser, they're 720.
I don't want to go into my raw files and try and eyball where I spliced the clips b/c each video file is about 2 gigs and I'm only using a small section of each clip.
Any suggestions on how to do this?

It is much easier just to use Automatic Duck's Pro Import AE which will allow you to send your timeline to AE.
AE will use the existing media that is called for by the FC timeline, you don't have to copy/export the media files.
Used to cost several hundred dollars, now FREE as the creator has gone to work for Adobe.
http://www.automaticduck.com/products/piae/
P.S. The site says it is compatible up to CS5.5 which was current when development was stopped, but I use it in CS6 with no problem.

How to modify a PDF after signing

Our company has recently been upgrading from Adobe 8 to Adobe X (more specifically 10.1.10.) In Adobe 8 there is an ability to add/subtract pages after a signature has been signed, however this does not work in Adobe X with the default settings and I have not located a way to adjust this. Within the company there is a department in legal/accounting that handles the creation of PDF documents from basically start to finish. During their creation process there needs to be two signature: one for the creator of the document (this field is important enough that I cannot simply copy an ID/key so that anyone can sign anyone’s name however it is not important enough that it needs to lock a document or prevent any changes including adding/subtracting pages.) The creator will start a document sign and then pass it on where it will be modified, pages will be added/subtracted and words may be rearranged. Once it has been revised a couple to even a few time a second signature will lock the document. Is this still possible in Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Standard? Thank you in advance.

AFAIK the signature validation rules were significantly strengthen in Acrobat 9 and later. I do not remember whether adding pages was among those. BTW, by "subtracting pages"do you mean "deleting pages"? You could never delete a page in a signed document without invalidating the signature. Generally, in order to be able to modify signed PDF the original PDF, before the first signature, needs to be certified with certification permissions for specific actions, like permission to add more signature and fill form fields. You can certify the original PDF in Acrobat and its UI gives you a few certification permissions options. Adding pages is not in this list. LiveCycle has a more elaborate set of certification permissions but this is a fairly expensive solution and I do not remember whether Adding pages is in its permissions list.

How to modify HTML immediatley after loading it??

I have created a web browser and I need it to have large text size as default (i.e as soon as a web page is loaded). I have written the code to do this and it works when assigned to a Jbutton.
However if use the doClick() method to invoke the button immediatley after the HTML page is loaded(using the setPage method) the HTML remains the same.
There was a suggestion that the font resizing is being done before the document is fully loaded. So I tried to synchronize the thread of my largeText method and delay execution of the doClick by using the SwingUtilities.invokeLater method.
This never worked does anybody have a solution to this problem??
Below is the code of my Display and largetext methods.
if (e.getSource().equals(largeText)){
Thread runner = new Thread() {
public synchronized void run() {
HTMLDocument doc = ((HTMLDocument) htmlMain.getDocument());
doc.setCharacterAttributes(0, htmlMain.getDocument().getLength(), doc.getStyleSheet()
.getDeclaration("font-size:24"), false);
runner.start();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(runner);
} // End if
public void DisplayPage(String strURL) {
currentURL = strURL;
textURL.setText(strURL);
//m_btnReload.setToolTipText(strURL);
try {
setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
htmlMain.setPage(strURL);
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
largeText.doClick();
catch (Exception exc) {
htmlMain.setText("");
statusBar.setText("Could not open starting page. Using a blank.");
finally {
setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
} //end try
//largeText.doClick();
}

You didn't set the width and height to 20. You set the
magnification to 20 percent. That's what _xscale and _yscale are:
the percentage by which an object is scaled (enlarged or reduced).
If you want to set an image's actual width and height:
image._width = 20;
image._height = 20;

How to save PDF's after opening them in Safari.

I try to safe the PDF ( a syllabus for college) and even though the shows an icon that looks like an arrow pointing down to a computer screen, clicking the icon does nothing. So i was wondring how do I save it to a folder in my Mac?

If you have the original link to the PDF file, you can right click it, and select "Save Linked File As.." to save it (:
If you don't have the original link, you can copy the web address (usually "http://......nameofyourpdffile.pdf" If it is, copy the whole web address, post it on a random website as a hyperlink, then do the right click method!\
Hope this helped!

LOVs - how to modify same LOV after items are selected.

Hi all, I have a Record Group which returns a list of Staff Surnames.
I also have a LOV that uses that Record Group. I have a Project-Staff table that has a composite primary key of project_id and staff_id.
What I need to do is dynamically change the contents of the LOV so that when a staff name is selected their name no longer appears in the LOV for that project.(their staff_id gets written to the Project-Staff table along with the project_id).
Its just a simple form for allocating staff to a project. Any ideas on how I should formulate the SQL statement ? I'm stuck because if the project needs lots of staff, MY SQL statement would look a right mess.
Thanks.

Thanks guys. I got the delete_group_row to work. Unfortunately I can't get it to work how I would like it to.
Once the user selects a name from the list (using LOV) and executes the query, the selected staff name and some of their staff details populate the form. I have created an "Add Staff" button and once it is pressed the staff_id for that staff member and function_id will be written into the Function-Staff table. The Form is then cleared. The next time the user accesses the LOV I want the previously selected name to be omitted from the list.
If I hard code the row number to be deleted "delete_group_row('fname_rg',1);" it deletes that record perfectly. But hard coding the row to be deleted is no good to me. Is there a way of finding out what the row number is for the name selected and pass that to the delete_group_row built in ?
Or am I simply missing something here ??

How to extend clips after multicam editing.

I recently learned how to use multicam editing and I think it is such a fantastic tool. One of the things that I struggled with, however, is the ability to extend/shorten one of the clips because the footage was too shaky during the transition to another clip.
For example: Clip A is playing and recording on the timeline. But Clip A becomes shaky so I switch to Clip B. After everything is done, and I play it back, I see that shaky footage towards the end of Clip A.
How do I extend Clip B so that it extends over Clip A to get rid of the shaky footage?

The "Roll" tool. Click between 2 clips and roll the edit left or right.

Legacy FCP has Revert Project to return to the last saved version, and it has Restore Project to go back to one of the autosaved versions. The maximum number of undo's can be set in user preferences. A lot different than X.
