How to set the transition duration of a slide in keynote with applescript

hi
how to set the transition duration of a slide in keynote with applescript
i made an applescript script which converts a numbers file to a keynote presentation
figured out how to set the transitions but cant find how to set the time
+set appTransition of slideTransition of current slide to "apple:dissolve"+
anyone?

you can send keystrokes to invoke menu commands via shortcuts but as for transition time not sure. You've check the dictionary right? Scripting support is very limited in KN.

How to set default transition duration?

I can't believe Premiere would be so lacking in something so basic that is available in every other NLE I've used, but I can't find a way to set a default audio transition that also allows me to set half a second and not the 1 second default. I don't want to apply a lot of cross fades and then having to go to each of them and typing 15 and enter.
Also, there is an easy way to save any filter as a user preset, including combinations of filters as one preset, but the same is not possible for transitions, audio or video, am I missing something?

Maybe I misunderstand but...you can. Right click any transition to set it as the default. Alan told you in post 1 how to set the duration.
So...what's the gripe?
I'm talking about saving transition presets with any duration you want, as well as different types of transitions, like having a cross dissolve that is half a second, another that is 2 seconds, a dip to black that is three, and an exponential fade that is 2 seconds, etc, all accessible in the top Presets folder, instead of having to dig inside a folder that is inside another folder in the effects tab. This is something you can do easily in every other NLE I can remember, Edius, FCP classic, and Vegas if I remember correctly, but I haven't used the last one in a while, although I remember clearly that you can set a script in it to do anything you want, including a fade in and fade out. Why isn't something so basic in Premiere, especially when you can save any filter as a preset? I understand that not all features can be implemented at once, but this is something that has been on NLEs for at least the past ten years. Isn't it about time that Premiere catches up to the rest?
I totally agree with you. Right now the way transitions works (doesn't work, actually) is completely utterly retarded.
You can only set ONE default transition. Only ONE, because there is NEVER going to be a time when you want to frequently use 2, 3, 4 different transitions. NEVER.
You have to dig into the *system preferences* menu to set the duration of that ONE transition. And you can only set ONE duration for ONE transition. There will never ever be a time anyone would ever want to have a few frequent transitions with different durations for each. No, we all only ever need ONE transition with ONE duration for EVERY SINGLE PROJECT WE DO.
Can you tell that I'm frustrated?

How to set the default duration for still pictures ?

Hi there,
At the moment, when I drag a still picture from Viewer window to the Canvas window, a default 10-sec duration of the still picture will appear on the timeline.
How do I set this default to 8 seconds ?
I tried looking at User Preference and System Preference but cannot locate them. Maybe I miss them ?
Can someone help me on this, please ?
Thanks

Also there is a bug in FCE and FCP which affects PAL.
If you set the still for 8 seconds it will come out at 6 seconds and 20 frames.
So if you want a really exact figure you will have to set it longer by maths or trial and error.
Yes Ian, just noticed that there is a bug !
Mine was set to 12 secs & I always got 10 seconds.
Now I set to 12 secs & I got 8 seconds.
It looks like it is always 2 seconds less from what you set ?
Thanks

How to set the default duration of an activity?

As far as I have been able to find, all iCal entries have a default duration of one hour.
However, in 98% of the cases, I'd want the duration to be just 15 mins.
How can I avoid changing this for almost every entry?

Bob,
I have found this terminal command to be helpful for creating events at the desired interval.

How to set the duration of each pic in a slideshow (and also how to pan and zoom)

I have about 30 pictures I would like to add to a slide show.
When I add them the duration for each picture is set to 6 seconds.
I would like this changed to 4 seconds.
But manually changing the duration of each individual picture, one by one, is a slow and tedious task.
Is there a way of changing the duration of all my pictures at the same time, from 6 seconds to 4 seconds ?
Or can I change a setting so that when I insert my pictures the duration is set to 4 seconds instead of 6 seconds ?
As for the pan and zoom, I have seen the pan and zoom effect but this has a black border around the pictures as they zoom in and out.
For example, when zooming in the picture starts small with a black border all round the edge.
When zooming out the picture ends small with a black border all round the edge.
Is there a way to pan and zoom starting with a full screen when zooming in, and ending with a full screen when zooming out ?
Thereby not showing any ugly black borders.
My Nokia N73 phone can do it !
You can view the pictures as a slide show and when it pans and zooms it looks so much better because it does not show any black borders.
The picture ALWAYS fills the screen even though it is panning and zooming.

If you go to Edit/Preferences, you can set the default duration for each slide. This will affect only those photos you've imported into your project AFTER changing this preference.
You should also turn off the preference for Scale to Frame Size, so your photos do not fill the screen. (And, for efficiency's sake, make sure your source photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs at the top of this forum.)
You can also set the duration of each slide by selecting all of the stills you want to include on in your slideshow, right-clicking and selecting the Create Slideshow option.

How do I set the transition between access points would be fine?

Hello everyone,
We have an organization Wirless controller 2504 with 20 aironet access-point (700 series)
Once I defined all the access points I noticed that the transition between them is not working fine...
I mean that clients can not walk around in our organization without having to connect to any access point separately.
How do I set the transition between access points would be fine?
Thanks a lot (:

HI Omri,
which software version you have on WLC ?
Is the site survey done propely ?
Remember: It is the client that decides when to roam and which AP to connect to based on what it perceives the signal to be.
If your site survey design is perfect and still have problems while roaming then:
Disable your lower data rates on the 2.4ghz and or 5ghz radio and your clients will roam better. Try to disable everything below 11mbps. and give that a try.May be old device will work in this case.

How do i set the event duration default

how do i set the event duration default on my iphone calendar. it is preset to 1 hour and i want to change the dafault duration time

Every Printer driver allow you to save a set of settings.
For instance,
I defined
A4 black & white
A4 colors
listings black & white (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
listing colors (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
Do the same with your settings.
Use the item Enregistrer or the item Enregistrer sous to save your settings.

How to Set Default Transition in FCPX?

FCP Studio allowed you to "Make a Favorite" and set it as the default. FCPX has a "Favorite" item in a drop-down menu, but it doesn't seem to set a chosen transition as a default. How to you set a default in FCPX?

Hi,
this is directly from the help menu:
Set transition defaults
Choose Final Cut Pro > Preferences, or press Command-Comma (,), and click Editing.
Set the transition default settings.
Default length: This sets the length, in seconds, of all transitions you add to the Timeline. You can adjust the transition length after it is in the Timeline.Note: Some transitions have a set duration and do not follow this setting.
Apply transitions using: This defines where the transition’s video content comes from. For information about the “Apply transitions using” setting, seeTransition overlap options.

How do you set the End Action on last slide of slideshow

Encore DVD CS3.
I must be the village idiot. I have setup a slideshow with manual advance. I cannot find a way to set the end action for the last slide. When I click on the last slide in the slideshow timeline there is no option that I can find for end action. When I preview the slideshow the last slide goes to black. I set the manual advance for all slides. There is several mentions of end action but no info on how to do it.
Appreciate advice. Very frustrating.
Clif
BTW Why are there no reference books for Encore CS3? It seems very strange. It has been out for a while but NO books.

Thank you for your help. I did what you said but the last slide still goes to black. The last slide also ignores the "manual Advance" and goes to black.
I highlighted the slideshow timeline in the project window and set end action on the properties panel on the right to the slideshow itself. But the last slide quickly goes to black. Each slide except the last one has a box in the upper right corner indicating a cross dissolve transition. I set the slide duration to "manual advance" for the whole slideshow. I feel like an idiot but nothing seems to change the end action of the slideshow or the last slide. Always cuts to black and stops.

How to set the out point beyond 9.95 seconds???

how to set the out point in Motion 5 beyond 9.95 seconds???

First you need to make sure your project is long enough then you can adjust the play range (in/out). To make sure the project is long enough:
1. From the project properties (command-J) go to the Duration field and enter a new duration.
2. Click on the down arrow icon to the right of the current time, there is an option to show the project duration. Once set to this you can double click the number and type in a new project duration. I'd recommend setting it back to show current time when done.
3. Of course you can also change the duration of a project when it is first created, in the project browser.
Once you're sure you have a long enough project you can adjust the in and out range. You then use the zoom controls in the bottom of the timeline to show more of the timeline and adjust the play range as needed. There's lots more about project and play range duration adjustments in the documentation: http://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.1/

How to set the number of elements dequeued?

Hello All,
I am relatively new to LabView. I use LabView 8.2 to detect Joystick movement using a set voltage threshold. Totally, I have 6 channels of analog input. The sampling rate is 2 Kilo Hertz with continuous sampling mode (buffer size set to 10 Kilo Samples). I show a visual stimulus on a computer monitor. Within 3 seconds from stimulus onset, the subject has to press the joystick. So I use a while loop that runs until the subject moves the joystick in any direction as detected by crossing of voltage threshold. The while loop was intended to run for a max of 3 sec if joystick was not moved. My intention while using the vi (see below) was to continuously monitor the voltage signal by means of removing voltage data points from the queue by the labview function/vi - "dequeue element". When I dequeue from inside the loop, the dequeue function removes about 100 msec worth of voltage data points ( = 198-201 points; sampling rate -2Khz) from each of the six channels. This creates problem for me because a single dequeue operation takes 40 to 85 msec during which the loop cannot be stopped. This results in miscalculation of the actual time when the joystick was moved.
Is there a way to set how many data points the dequeue function removes? My goal is to remove about 1-2 msec worth of data points so that the loop can exit within under 5msec of the joystick movement.
I have attached the screen shots of the subvi's I am using.
Acquire Response.jpg - the while loop that has the subvi: Access Analog Data Queue
Access Analog Data Queue.jpg - front panel of the subvi that has the 'dequeue element' function.
Remove Element.jpg - a case of Access Analog Data Queue.vi showing the 'dequeue element' function
Sorry for the long message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Lynn and tst,
Thanks for your suggestions. I have attached a screen shot of a vi that has the enqueue function. As Lynn pointed out, it was the enqueueing size that was reflected in the size of the dequeueing. I tried various ways to control the enqueue element size in order to control the dequeue element size. Many of my tricks failed. I had set the data acquisition to be continuous at 2kHz with 10Ks buffer size. You may want to look at the attached image of the subvi "Analog Acquisition" while I explain my attempts. The first thing that I noticed was the 'dt' value in the input node of the timed loop which had been set by somebody to 100. I thought that was part of the reason why my dequeue size was always worth 100msec data points. So I changed it to 1 msec. This definitely made a difference in the chunk size of the dequeued element. Now dequeueing removes only data points worth 1 - 5msec. I also noticed that my data reading timer loop(the while loop in "Analog Acquisition" picture) takes about 20 -25 msec instead of the set 1 msec.
Why does the loop take so long? I have set the 'number of samples per channel' to -1 so that DAQmx read.vi (see it in Analog Acquisition subvi block diagram) can grab whatever data is available currently and put that into the queue. Can this be a reason why the loop takes more than 20 msec? I also tried to set the number of samples per channel to 2. I reasoned that with the sampling rate of 2KHz, 1ms loop should be able to pull 2data points and enqueue them. But it gave me the much-often-seen error code ":Error -200279 occurred at DAQmx Read (Analog 1D Wfm NChan NSamp).vi:1->Timed structure(s): DAQ Loop". I tried various combinations of loop time and number of samples per channel. I get Error-200279 very often. Note that I have several state transitions and only in a couple of them during every cycle of state transitions, I remove elements and flush the data queue (one place where I remove elements is shown in my original message in the picture-'Acquire Response.jpg').
How do I set the data acquisition loop to enqueue elements for exactly 1 msec or n msec so that I can control my dequeue size?
Thanks a lot, I am getting really tired of fixing this problem. Please help.

How to measure the pulse duration of a TTL signal using AI?

Hi there.
I would like to know how to measure the pulse duration of a TTL signal using an Analog input.
These TTL signals comes from an ultrasonic sensor's output. The pulse width of the signal is
proportional to the distance of the object the sensor detected.
I have tried using the example "Measure Pulse Width.vi" which uses a counter to measure the
pulse duration instead. It provides me with correct results.
However, i will like to know how can i do it using the AI instead.
I tried it by using the example "Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clk.vi" which i modified by including a
timing and transistion measurement vi. Pulse duration was selected as the output. A graph indicator was also added at the output of the pulse duration to monitor the incoming TTL signals.
However, everytime the TTL signals was detected on the graph indicator, the numeric indicator always produce a "zero" reading.
I have attached my vi for your reference.
Can anybody advice me what i have done wrongly?
Regard.

Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clkv1.vi ‏190 KB

Hi Paul,
Today i tried using 2 different methods to read the pulse duration of my sensor signal.
Both methods use "Acq&Graph Voltage-IntClk" vi as a guide.
Method1:
Add a filter vi(lowpass/bandpass) and a timing and transition measurements vi.
Pulse duration is selected as the output. With some numeric conversion, a centimeter
reading indicator was created. However, the reading always remains as "zero"
Method2:
Add a Mask and Limit Testing vi and a timing and transition measurements vi.
By adjusting my upper and lower limits, i manage to "filter" a single pulse out from the actual signal.
However, like the earlier case, the cm reading still remains at "zero"
I have attached both the methods resulted waveforms for your reference.
Are there anything that you can advice on?
Regard.

How to set waveform time duration in labview

please can anyone help me with how to set the waveform time duration in labview (for real time monitoring and measurement). i need to monitor the system in waveform chart with the time duration 10:00AM TO 4:00PM with the appropriate date. i urgently need any useful information. thanks

If you are trying to manipulate the waveform data itself, look in to the Get Waveform Subset VI.
If you are trying to alter the chart to show a specific section of the data, look in to the Chart's properties using a property node. Specific properties you want are XScale and YScale values.
And like Dennis said, please provide what you've been trying to do. This makes it easier to help.

How to set the table input in Query template?

Hi all.
I need to call a Bapi_objcl_change, with import parameter and a table as an input. I have done this, in BLS. I have set the table input in the
form of xml. In BLS, I get the output(the value gets change in SAP R3, what i have given in BLS). But if i set the same xml structure in
query template, I didn't get the output. Table input parameter does not take that xml source. How to set the table input in Query template?
can anyone help me?
Regards,
Hemalatha

Hema,
You probably need to XML encode the data so that it will pass properly and then xmldecode() it to set the BAPI input value.
