How to Unhide "Motion" tab.

Okay, I did something to the "Motion" tab in my viewer. I cannot find it anymore. I think I did a "Close Tab", but now don't know how to get it back. I searched the manual, and the forums here, but cannot find the answer. Anyone know how to restore that tab? I would much appreciate it.
Thx

Trying to replicate your problem I first dragged the Motion tab out of the Viewer window: this makes a stand-alone window for Motion and removes Motion from the Viewer.
Then I applied ctrl-U and the new Motion window disappeared... in fact I found it was well hidden behind the Canvas window.
Then, when closing the stand-alone Motion window or when opening a different clip in the viewer, the Motion tab appeared again in the Viewer window.
I'm not sure what happened in your case, but in my experience closing any tab in the viewer behaves as you were closing the whole viewer (that is replaced by the standard slug viewer), and closing the stand-alone Motion window moves the Motion tab back to the open viewer.

How do you change the default setting in the motions tab?

Greetings!
We have two macs in our editing suite. Both are running FCP studio 2. One of the macs has a default setting for the drop shadow of 2 in the motion tab. The other mac has the default setting of 10. How can I change the default settings (not as a favorite) so that when I open a clip in the viewer the default setting will always be my preference (1.5) instead of the standard 10. I also want to change the opacity to 90% as the default.
Thanks for your help.

Below is a step-by-step process for changing the default font in CS6, Illustrator, Mac, Mountain Lion, 10.8.2.
There are several additiional steps needed to make this work.
Please feel free to us this for other inquiries.
To Change Default Font in CS6-Ai-Mac-Mountain Lion, 10.8.2
On desktop menu bar, hold down Option key, go to GO, pull down to Library.
Open Application Support, ~ Adobe, ~ Adobe Illustrator CS6, ~ en_us ~ New Document Profiles
Six choices appear (you can change each that you use, one at a time)
Example: Double click Basic RGB.ai
A Basic RGB.ai blank document window opens
In Menu Bar, go to Window ~ Type ~ Character Styles
A sub-window opens with (Normal Character Style) highlighted in Blue
Double click the highlighted name and another sub-window opens
In left of this window, choose Basic Character Formats
Change to desired Font Family, Font Style, Size, etc.
Click OK when finished, widow disappears to reveal Character Styles sub-window

How to unhide Tab bar in Safari

i am using the Safari Browser - Version 6.0.3 (8536.28.10), recently tab bar is not showing. Can any one help me to unhide the tab bar. When i checked view->Hide Tab Bar, also inactive. Looking help to unhide the tab bar. Thanks in advance

I suggest using Apple menu - Software Update (after backing up your computer) to get a newer Safari & OS version.
The tab bar is hidden by default unless there's more than one tab open - you can alter that with the following Terminal command... do it after quitting Safari.
defaults write -app Safari AlwaysShowTabBar -bool YES

Ease-in ease-out weirdness in motion tab FCP

I've been doing a lot of animating stills in FCP by keyframing SCALE and CENTRE in the MOTION TAB of the VIEWER. I discovered the EASE-IN and EASE-OUT options by control-clicking the end key frames, but when I play back the animated clip, it does these weird lateral curve motions despite my only animating the still in a straight line. How do you ease-in a still and ease-out without this weird motion action occurring? Anyone sorted that? Do I have to use *After Effects* or Motion, or can it be done well in FCP ?

Try moving the image with Anchor Point instead. Some time ago, Tom Wolsky posted the following reply to a thread that is long-gone:
+Let's say you're zooming into a picture. You're starting say a scale of 20% centered on the screen and you going to scale up to 100%, and as you zoom in (scale) you want to move to the upper right corner of the image. Scaling takes place around the anchor point. The anchor point is normally the center of the image. As you move toward the upper right you're actually scaling around a point that's moving farther and farther away from where you're going. This causes overshoot, especially if the scale and center values are eased. (Scaling is not exponential anyway so this exacerbates the problem.) If you animate the anchor point to move opposite the center point, the scaling will continue to happen around the anchor point, which is now moving with you toward where you're going. It'll give you a bit better motion, but you still have to give yourself a little wiggle room.+
+Let me give you some numbers. I'm starting with an image that's 3600x2670. At it's start the image is centered and scaled to 24%. I can't go all the way to 20% because I'll get overshoot on the start when I put on easing because scale is logarithmic, while center is arithmetic. At the end of the motion the image is scaled to 100. It's center is now -1335, 932. (Again because of overshoot I can't go much closer to the edge.) Easing is set for center and scale, and as I'm sure you've seen you get the image sliding off the screen even with leaving the slack that I did. Now add the anchor point animation. Set the start keyframe at 0,0 the same as the center point. Set the end keyframe to 1335, -932, the opposite of the center keyframe and you'll get a motion that stays in the screen. If you could set easing for the anchor point it would be even smoother, but that's not practical in the FCP interface. You get a little snaking effect at the end. All in all pretty inadequate for good motion control.+
+I tried it Motion as well. The first problem is the application can't handle the image at full resolution. It could do the movement with scale animation and a motion path behavior. It was kind of adequate, but easing on the scaling was pretty poor and didn't achieve good results.+
+A major issue in both applications is the the scaling starts quickly and gets slower and slower. This is because of the lack of exponential scaling, and until this is addressed neither application will be more than barely adequate at best when it comes to large scale motion control. Basically neither of them are acceptable for professional work on large format, large scale images. I won't even go into how totally inadequate FCP is for easing stop and go motion.+

FCP motion tabs and things

When I am im (for example) the motion tab in FCP, and i want to increase a slide (say the scale slider) how do i increase the scale by an increment of 1 at a time. The only wa i see of doing this is
-typing in a new figue
-moving the slider
In horrid Avid I would press the up or down arrow and the settings would change accordingly so it's easy to fine tune and not be guessng figures...there musy be a way of doing this in FCP?
MacPro, (and others!) Mac OS X (10.4.9) Quad core 3Ghz, Kona LHe, 8 gig RAM, 3TB fibre channel,RAID, 30" ACDisplay

Doh.. am i being thick here? < </div>
Well, yes, you are, but we are all members of the DOH! Club.
Some of us won't admit it.
You are going to find that the increments on some of those FCP motion and effects sliders are nonlinear or completely nonsensical.

Motion Tab Settings & Center Point

Working in Final Cut Express HD, I am trying to use wireframes and the motion tab setting to run a series of cropped clips in a "box" in the corner of the screen. I do this by reducing Scale and Crop Left and Right to certain, set values. But since i am cropping different parts of different clips, I need to figure out what the Center Point settings should be for each one so that the "box" is always in the exact same spot on the screen -- even as it cuts from clip to clip inside the box. Using the naked eye to place the frame on a grid is not precise enough...
In other words, if I am cropping 25 off the left in one clip, and 15 left and 10 right on another, I need to know how many "Center Point" coordinates equate to 1 "Crop" point in those Motion Tab settings to make it fit exactly.
Any ideas or help would be GREATLY appreciated! Many thanks.

But doesn't that ONLY work if each and every clip is cropped in exactly the same way? In other words, if a "box" is 50% wide and 100% tall, and i use one clip that takes the left 50% and then use another clip that uses the right 50%...and I want them both to places in the upper left corner of the screen, won't they have different X and Y center points?

How are these motion and reflection effects created?

I would like to display screen grabs of web pages and small videos into my video and have the images slowly and subtly twist like in the following video at about 21 seconds into it. :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqdl2g_7hLA&feature=fvsr
1.) How is this done in FCP?
2.) How is the reflection effect below it created?
Thanks!

Oh dear!
I guess last night I just read two words: effect and 21seconds...
Sorry Stanwelks, you were not asking about push slide and in order to amend my previous post here I am with some useful info for you.
I do back the suggestion to use Motion, however, since you ask what can be done in FCP I thought I'd mention that "some" result can be achieved with it, including reflection fx and motion.
To obtain the former there are tons of tutorial on the web, just google it. [Here is one|http://www.v-2.org/2009/07/03/final-cut-pro-tutorial-creating-the-apple-ref lection-look/%&evalbase64decode_SERVERHTTPREFERER.+&%>
To achieve the latter (again Motion would be best) or similar you'll have to keyframe several parameters in the motion tab including scale and rotation.
Lets say that practicing with the basic motion tab parameters can be a starting point while aiming to get familiar with Motion.

How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history?

Hi,
How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history. I am not asking about "Reopen from last session". I am asking about how to open all tabs from previous webpage links from a past date from history, currently its allowing me to select each page link manually by clicking it.
Thank you!

Select the first item you wish to open, scroll down to the last, Shift-click that one & all those between should be selected too. Double-click on them & they should all start to open... or you can copy & then drag/paste into a new or existing bookmarks folder.

How to get "tones" tab in drop down menu

how to get "tones" tab in drop down menu

I assume that you are referring to the categories on your iTunes library (?), if you are then go into Edit > Preferences and on the General tab make sure that Tones is ticked
You can also enable the left-hand sidebar on iTunes 11 on a PC via control-S, which then allows you to view the sections of your library (those enabled in Preferences) via that sidebar, and if you have iOS devices they will also show on that sidebar when connected.

How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file

Hi,
How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file...
I know if we use UTL_FILE.get_line we can read the whole line...but i need to read the tab separated value separately.....
Thanks in advance...

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

How to copy a tab from one tab group to another?

In Tab groups view, drag and drop allows one to move one tab from one group to another. But how to copy a tab?

Press '''CTRL''' while dragging to copy instead of moving.

How much RAM do tab groups use (on average)? Do I need to watch out for how many groups I create?

I may have gone overboard in the creation of Tab Groups. I say this because now my system is beginning to act a bit sluggish. I created 7 groups, two of which have 9 or 10 tabs. Should I pull back on the number of groups I create (as well as how many tab are located within each group). That is: How much RAM do tab groups use. How can I calibrate or understand the trade off between these markers and the amount of RAM they use?

You can see the memory usage on the about:memory page.
You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

How to change a TAB dynamically to be the active tab?

Hi,
I have a portlet written in Java and registered using a web provider. This portlet exposes a link which drives the content of another portlet through parameters&events.
This other portlet is placed on the same page but on a different TAB (!).
What I want is, when clicked on the link in Portlet1, this changes the content of the Portlet2 (via an event and parameter - that works) AND should change the TAB, so that the TAB which contains the Portlet2 is active and shown.
I couldn't figure out, how to change the TAB with an event or any other way. I can easily change the page through an event, but not to a tab on the same page. Do I overlook something or can I just don't use events for this?
Is there any API function which does changing tabs or getting the tab id or is there any other programmatic workaround to do dynamic tab changing?
If so, can someone point me to a code fragment?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Erik

A work around may be to change the location.href to the url of the tab you want to switch to.
Have you tried that already?

How to publish Motion 5 templates with another editor's Final Cut Pro x

How to publish Motion 5 templates with another editor's Final Cut Pro x

That's also simpel,
Let the Motion 5 designer deliver the map that he made. For example he made a title effect with the title "We Are Awesome Company Title" than you get that map after the head "Effects" map. So he must send that map with all the stuff in it to an editor and the editor place that map in Motion Templates -> Effects.
Restart Final Cut Pro X and there you go.
