How to return to my movie's timeline

I created a movie called "ElverPark" about my nephews at the park.
Later I created a movie called "Drone" about a drone test flight.
I just re-opened iMovie and have:
1. Drone assets on top left
2. Drone preview on top right
3. Drone timeline (video and audio) on the bottom.
But I want to edit my park movie, so on the left bar, I selected my Park Library. This changed my top left assets window to those for the park movie and the top right preview for the park movie. But the bottom timeline is still that of the drone.
How do I get the bottom timeline to be for the library I selected?

I got it!
Go to View menu,
Toggle Show/Hide Waveforms.
Voila!

Simple Question..easy Answer! How to return movie to main menu after end?

In simulate, the movie simply stops after playing. Same situation with the burned copy. How do i set the movie to return to the menu automatically when done playing?
There is only one chapter in my movie and one menu, so it's pretty straight forward. Thanks.
-Mike

What Eric said, but initially if you drag a track from the Outline view to a button and select "Connect to Track" from the drop-down menu, it will set the jump to and from the button for you.

Automator - How do I: Mouse Click, Move Windows, and more

Hello,
I am attempting to create my own Automator programs and for a while I had some that worked nicely. I have recently been tweaking my iMac so that it can "think" on its own (by automator of course) and do things for me. However, I've run across a block with Mavericks (I believe it's due to Mavericks).
1. How can I get Automator to register a mouse click? "Watch me do" does not seem to want to work for me at all. I also would prefer if it would just be a registered mouse click, but not actually use the mouse (I know this is possible) so that if I'm doing something and it runs, it won't disturb my mouse and I can keep working.
2. How can I register a keyboard stroke? Same as above
3. How can I have automator move windows? I have two monitors and there are times when I may want it to move a window from one mintor to another
The following is a list of all the things I'm attempting to accomplish at the moment (with other things when I think of them) with automator (either through applications, folder actions, or ical actions):
1. Register a mouse click at a given area or on a given element in a safari page
2. Register a keyboard stroke in a given program (be able to focus on a program and then do the keystroke)
3. Move windows from one location to another
4. Full-screen and Un-full-screen iTunes at certain times of day
5. Download all purchased items on iTunes that aren't on the computer (sometimes iTunes doesn't download stuff if it was downloaded on my MacBook Pro first)
6. Automatically voice read reminders (that I've set in Reminders) each day at a given time (I can use loop to repeat it to make sure I hear it all)
I'll think of more of course, but the mouse click, keyboard stroke, and moving windows is the big thing I'm trying to figure out how to do. Can anyone help?
Also, I am not a computer tech. I am tinkering with this because it's fun and helpful, but an answer of "just use applescript" or "just use java" will likely just give me a headache. I know that it's going to be one of those codes, but I'm hoping someone has a "base" code that can be copied and pasted that's just a standard click that I can adjust for where I need to click and what process I need to click on.
If there is an Action Pack that includes a "Register Mouse Click" and/or "Register Keyboard Stroke", then that would work great, but the only action packs for automator I've seen that work with Mavericks is for photoshop.

You're asking for a lot in one post. It would be better to break your requests down a bit.
For example, to deal with mouse clicks, you can use the Automator Action Run Shell Script with this python script:
import sys
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
        theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
        CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclick(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
# Save current mouse position
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);
# Click the "Apple"
mouseclick(25, 5);
# 1 second delay
time.sleep(1);
# Restore mouse position
mousemove(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y))
It will look like this in Automator:
To drag something (i.e. a window, a file icon) from position 40,60 to 60,300:
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
           theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
           CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclickdn(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
def mouseclickup(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
def mousedrag(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDragged, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
# Save current mouse position
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);
# move mouse to upper left of screen
mouseclickdn(40, 60);
# drag icon to new location
mousedrag(60, 300);
# release mouse
mouseclickup(60, 300);
# necessary delay
time.sleep(1);
# return mouse to start positon
mouseclickdn(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y));

How do I add a movie theater to the Siri database?

How do I add a movie theater to the Siri database?

I understand. Resources are limited.
The link:
http://www.fandango.com/87123_movietimes
returns
UA High Ridge 8
Regal Winrock Stadium 16 IMAX & RPX
Cinemark Movies 8
Southwest Film Center
Century Rio 24 and XD
The book "Teach Yourself Visually iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c" by Guy Hart-Davis includes an example of using Siri to discover which theaters nearby are showing a specific movie. Several web sites mention the use of Siri to search for a local movie theater. Given that resources are limited for updating Siri's database, a relative frequency histogram of Siri usage would probably indicate that the task of finding a movie theater is a relatively popular task for Siri. This would help direct resources toward the knee of the cost-benefit curve.
Of course the benefit of a more current database of movie theaters may be less than the benefit of a more current database of level one trauma centers.

Issue with Return Delivery for movement type 262

Hi,
I have got a strange issue, the user is trying to do a MIGO Return Delivery for a material document using movement type 262, this he claims has been doing it for many materials. However when i go to the MKPF table i see the transaction Code field to be MIGO_GI for all the material documents for which he claims to have done return delivery. But under this transaction code we have only 4 options - Display, Issue, Cancel and Remove from storage.
Now when he tries to do the return delivery for movement type 262 he get an error message "Check table T156N: entry RL 262 does not exist" , but this has been very well maintained in the table.
Can you please let me know -
If it is possible to do a return delivery for a movement type 262?
If yes how to address the above error encountered.
Thanks in advance
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
If you think of return delivery to vendor with or w/o PO reference you can use movement types 161, 122, 124 as default settings.
Movement type 261 means withdrawal against production order and its reverse is MVT 262. The latter can be used e.g. via MB1A (or you can make storno of a confirmation by 261).
Are you sure your user is using the correct terminology ('return delivery')? Please check the material documents he/she claims to have booked as return delivery. (in MB51 you can get a list of all material movements of MVT 261 that belong to 'your user' and after that you can open the material document and check through which transaction the booking was made.)

Attempt to move main timeline from inside a movie clip breaks menu buttons.

I am attempting to have the main timeline move from a stopped position over a movie clip to frame 1, where my start menu is.
The code I'm using does move the timeline but in doing so it somehow breaks the 4 buttons I have in frame 1.
My code in the movie clip:
stop()
function replayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop(1);
Menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replayMovie);
My code in frame 1 of the main timeline:
stop();
function bo(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(21)
SoundMixer.stopAll()
espesp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bo);
function ho(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(31)
SoundMixer.stopAll()
espeng.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ho);
function yo(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(41)
SoundMixer.stopAll()
engesp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yo);
function go(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(51)
SoundMixer.stopAll()
engeng.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go);
The error output when I use my Menu button at the end of the movie clip.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at SSubjunctiveProjNewgrounds_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at SSubjunctiveProjNewgrounds_fla::Esp_5/replayMovie()
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For the sake of space, I'll leave out all the package declarations and class declarations and just talk about the functions.
First, the Game class, it has two functions. The first one is the constructor function and it launches at the beginning of the game: First the Game function:
public function Game():void
//Game code goes here
}//Game
We want to listen for someone to click the mouse on the MenuPage, so lets create a new MenuPage and add a listener to the button contiained within it.
public function Game():void
menuPage = new MenuPage;
menuPage.startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startGame);
addChild(menuPage);
}//Game
You will notice that before I declared a variable var menuPage:MenuPage, but that's all I did was declare it. I didn't really make a new instance of it, I just set aside space for it. In the first line within the Game function, I'm actually turning that variable into a new instance of a MenuPage.
We don't have a picture of this imaginary menuPage instance, but lets' assume that in our MenuPage MovieClip in the library, we created a SimpleButton called startButton. Here, I'm adding an EventListener that patiently waits for someone to click that button. Once we receive that event, Flash is told to call the startGame function.
As you get better at this, you'll get into custom events, and the eventListener for the button will exist in the MenuPage class file, or even in another class file that you create just for the button. Something like StartButton.as But for now, we can do it as above.
Now the startGame function:
public function startGame(evt:MouseEvent):void
//Remove the start Page
//Add the zombie
//Add the gun
}//startGame
And we'll replace those comments with real code. It follows along with what we just did above.
public function startGame(evt:MouseEvent):void
zombie = new Zombie;
addChild(zombie);
gun = new Gun;
addChild(gun);
And we also want to clean up some by removing the menuPage, and throwing out the eventListener.
public function startGame(evt:MouseEvent):void
zombie = new Zombie;
addChild(zombie);
gun = new Gun;
addChild(gun);
menuPage.startButton.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.Click,startGame);
removeChild(menuPage);
}//startGame
Now our Game class is complete.
The Zombie Class
public function zombieWalk(evt:Event):void
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,zombieWalk);
this.x = this.x + 10;
}//zombieWalk
Notice we've added a function to the Zombie Class.
The first function adds an EventListener to the zombie. We can use the word this and actionScript knows we're talking about the zombie that the class is written for. This listener fires off every frame. If our FLA file is set to 12fps, then 12 times every second it will call on the zombieWalk function.
The zombie walk function moves the zombie 10 pixels to the right every time the function is called.
On a more advanced level, you'll want to add animation in the MovieClip to move the zombie legs. You'll also want to use Timer events to space out how often the funtion fires and not ENTER_FRAME events. And you'll want to use a static constant to establish how far the zombie moves. We have it now set to 10 pixels, but that can get irritating if we want to change that value later. But again, baby steps.
And finally, the Gun class
public function Gun():void
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fireGun);
}//function
public function fireGun(evt:MouseEvent):void
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}//fireGun
First we add an EventListener for when someone clicks on the gun. Once this happens, the listener calls on the fireGun function.
The fireGun function takes advantage of the frames within the Gun MovieClip. Say we have three frames in the Gun MovieClip. The first is just a picture of the gun. The second is the gun with a flash coming out of the nozzle. And the third is the gun at rest again. The line this.gotoAndPlay(2) sends the gun to the second frame with the flash graphic.
For this to work, each frame in the Gun MovieClip has to have some stop and play commands.
But.. you said no code on our timeline!! Liar!
I know. This is the exception. You will need basic stop() commands and gotoAndPlay commands to loop animations. Any MovieClip that has more than one frame will need something to control it.
So our Gun MovieCLip has the following:
Frame 1: stop();
Frame 2: no actionScript... and I mean nothing, not even the words, "no actionScript"
Frame 3: gotoAndStop(1);
This will loop the gun to the beginning and wait for the next time the user clicks the gun.
Advanced features of the Gun class might include a Bullet.as sub-class that creates a bullet MovieClip to fly across the screen. Sound to play when the shooting takes place. Object collision detection to see if the bullet hits the target. And a means by which a custom event will tell the Game.as class that a zombie has been hit and it should be removed from the stage.
As you go down the rabbit hole of ActionScript 3, you will find yourself at a point where it's just a matter of getting the syntax right for all the built in functions and classes. Arrays, Loaders, casting variable types.. all that stuff will come.
I hope this has been helfpul. It's been on my to-do list for a long time. When I first started out, no one could provide me with basic answers for how all these classes and whatnot worked. After teaching myself AS3 for 2 years and reading a gabillion books, I think I've gotten to a point where I'm pretty comfortable with it all.

How to build a custom movie clip that will be used as a cell renderer for column in a grid ?

i want to build a datagrid that shows a picture and underneath it a name.
the problem is i dont want to see all of the pictures, but all the pictures that have certain requirements, so i cant just make one movie clip that includes all the pictures and names.
so my question is how do i build a movie clip that contains photo and text?.

You do not create movieclips on the timeline using code, though you can create them and add them as children of something that has been manually placed in the timeline.
To create a MovieClip using code you use:
    var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
If you need to add an image, then however you intend to acquire the image, after it has been acquired, you add it to the MovieClip using:
    mc.addChild(img);
where img is the instance of whatever form of object the image takes (Bitmap, Loader)
If you need to add a TextField to the MovieClip then you use:
    var tf:TextField = new TextField();
    mc.addChild(tf);
and you can set up properties for the textfield such as the font and color and position as well after it has been instantiated (the first line).

How to stop , play nested movie clips....

Hi all,
I'm calling a swf file in a container_mc, which is in
another swf file(Interface), by loadMovie() method. The Major
problem I've stucked with is that in the interface I'm having a
Play/Pause Button, which is not stopping the nested movieclips of
the external swf file which is loaded in the container_mc
movieclip.
The other major issue is that I'm not able to add a
progressbar(sliderbar) which runs according to the animation, to
this interface. Please help ASAP

I have a similiar situation however the container_mc has me
puzzled, I'm not sure what that is - perhaps you can answer my
question:
I have a master swf called index.swf. The index.swf has a
main tool bar of buttons which load frames; each frame is named to
coincide with the main bar button (i.e. genInfo, setup,
mainentance, etc). This works perfectly. My problem is with Movie
Clips.
Each frame has a sidebar which loads external swfs (i.e.
genInfo.swf) - each external swf is made up of a series of Movie
Clips which run in succession along the timeline; each Movie Clip
belongs within its own frame (i.e. MCseg1 is in frame seg1; MCseg2
is in frame seg2, etc).
I need to pause and play each individual Movie Clip at will;
I have built two buttons (pauseBtn and playBtn) into a Movie Clip
called MCpausePlay. The first frame of MCpausePlay contains the
pauseBtn; this frame is coded with the global "stop();" In order to
move to frame(2) which contains the playBtn, the pauseBtn is coded
with -
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
The playBtn is coded:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
When clicked, the MCpausePlay moves from pause to play.
That's all I have been able to get this to do.
How do I code MCpausePlay to pause and then play each
individual Movie Clip? (How do I get a Movie Clip to control other
Movie Clips?). Should I code the Movie Clip, the frames within the
Movie Clip, or each individual button within the Movie Clip? And,
does this MCpausePlay belong on the Index.swf file, or should it be
on each external swf? Or perhaps built in to every Movie Clip? I
have tried all and have not had any success.

How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

Bob Perez
Please review and consider the following which works for me in Premiere Elements 12 Window 64 bit.
From what you wrote, I suspect that you have DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc. For now I will assume that you are working in a NTSC setup.
Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is characterized as interlaced video with field order lower (bottom) field first. I am not sure how your DVD-VIDEO on DVD was produced - upper (top) field first or lower (bottom) field first. We may have to apply Field Option Reverse Field Dominance at the Timeline level, but for now let us put that aside for a later time.
Insert your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray.
Open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace and set the project preset manually for NTSC DV Widescreen. How to details for manual project preset setting are found
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
Then, Add Media/DVD camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer.
The video files from the DVD-VIDEO will be the larger size files and will probably start with VTS_01_1.VOB.
In the Video Importer designate the save location for video file VOB(s) and select Add to Timeline and hit Get Media
to put the files on the Timeline for editing.
If you have more than one DVD disc to "rip", please set up the Video Importer Save In location so that the save in location has a folder for each disc. The fact that all DVDs have the same VTS_01_1.VOB name etc will cause problems if you saved all to the same place as individual files.
Determine how that works for you in your Mac computer environment. We will be watching for your progress.
Others may tell you that you need to convert the VOB to another format before import into Premiere Elements. That is no necessary for Premiere Elements.
Thank you.

How do I edit a movie in less than 10 sec blocks?????

The title says it all. No instructions. No help. No, nothing.
I've found a way to edit a movie but I can't even do it by 1 sec!! WHAT A JOKE. Even my relatively cheap camera can do this simple task by the second, (unfortunately, the video I want to edit is from a different camera and in a different format).
HHEEELLLLPPPPP please because Apple Mac certainly doesn't want to.
I'm using iMovie 11 V9.4.0 and iOS 10.6.8. Also, am having to use a crap program called Toast to fix this problem.
What a F joke. I was lead to believe Apple was better than this.

macpomaus -
I assumed you came here looking for help. I didn't assume that you were looking for others to perform tasks for you. Typically, that kind of activity is compensated in some real-world currency. Around here, we are just peers trying to help each other. It is generally not considered a sign of laziness to provide a searcher with the source materials. Providing a link ensures that when the source information is updated, the information contained in a post does not drift away from the source.
You seem to be lacking the most basic of interpersonal skills. Hiding four-letter words behind abbreviations is really unnecessary and does nothing to ease their foul nature. I would ask that you find a vocabulary that would suit the occasion. Thank you.
Re: "...how do you get to see what you've show me in Help"
I'm afraid I am at a loss to provide you with additional details without more information from you. Are you not able to see the page to which I provided a link?
Re: "...Trim, split and move clips"
From the page to which I provided a link:
          Extend or shorten a clip in the timeline
          In the timeline, skim to the beginning or end of the clip you want to extend or shorten.
          Do one of the following:
               To extend the clip: Drag the edge of the clip left or right, away from its center.
               To extend a clip, there must be unused portions of the clip available.
               To shorten the clip: Drag the edge of the clip left or right, toward its center.
          Use the clip trimmer
          You can use the clip trimmer to add more frames to a clip, or remove unwanted frames from a clip. Using the clip trimmer, you can see how much of your clip is being used, as well as how much is unused.
          In the timeline, select the clip you want to trim.
          Choose Window > Show Clip Trimmer.
          The clip trimmer appears over the timeline.
If that doesn't point you in the right direction, try Linux.....or an Etch-A-Sketch (http://www.amazon.com/Ohio-Art-Classic-Sketch-Screen/dp/B00000J0HG/ref=sr_1_1?ie =UTF8&qid=1425652015&sr=8-1&keywords=etch-a-sketch).

Basic question - how do you save a movie?

Have a FCPX timeline ready to go - simply need to save it out as a MPG, QT, or other movie file.
"Share" menu seems to have disappeared in version 10.0.7
Several options are available under "File > Share". Have tried "DVD", "Master File", and "Apple Devices"
In every case, nothing happens. Go through the dialogue boxes and click "save" at the end. Nothing saves.
How does one make a movie from FCPX?

Go to Window:Background tasks (CMND 9) and it will show you the status of your sharing. It's not obvious and I wish Apple would use their own OS feature of showing a status in the Dock icon itself (Adobe shows you a bar for rendering in their applications, as do other software developers).
