I'd like to sync two videos and edit them at the same time, possible?

I've recently recorded a conference speaker with a camera and a screen capture of his slides I'd like to import the two video files and sync them together (they received the same audio feed) then perform very basic edits of removing any intro before the speaker and the q&a after his talk. Any tips on making this as easy as possible would be greatly appreciated. I need to have a copy of each video (headshot and screen capture) that is the same length.

Here is the user manual about creating and editing Multicam clips.

Bash script: Rotate your wallpaper and SLiM theme at the same time

EDIT;
I've decided I should really thank Cerebral for his help with writing this script; this thank you should have been here from the get go.
After writing:
#!/usr/bin
echo "Hello World!"
I wrote a script to rotate my fluxbox background and SLiM theme at the same time, so I could have a contiuously changing background and still have a smooth transition from SLiM to fluxbox. (It just looks so much cooler when both have matching backgrounds). By the time you finish reading it, and configuring your box so it will work, you will probably have decided you could have writtin your own, better script to do the same thing. But, on the off chance anybody finds use for it, here it is:
(this should be obvious, but: don't run this script without at least reading the comments)
#!/bin/bash
#this is a script to rotate a number of backgrounds
#to be shared by the fluxbox desktop and SLiM login manager.
#it is the first meaningful script I've written. It may be
#freely distributed and used with the understanding that you are
#using it at your own risk.
#Before running this script you need to check that your SLiM
#themes are installed to the path /usr/share/slim/themes, which
#is the defulat path for installation in Arch. Here are some
#other things you need to set up:
#1. create (if you don't have it) the directory /usr/share/wallpapers
#2. create a wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers called 'dummy' by copying
#you current wallpaper to that filename
#3. set your window manager to display the wallpaper 'dummy', this works fine
#using a style overlay in fluxbox, I haven't tested it with any other window
#manager, but I don't see why this would cause a problem.
#4. create a directory /usr/share/slim/themes/current, you can copy one of
#your slim themes into that directory if you want. (this will prevent you
#from seeing some error messages the first time you run the script)
#5. define the names of the themes you want to rotate, in order for this
#script to work, you must name them "themeNUMBER", where NUMBER is replaced
#by an integer. Your themes must be numbered consecutively, start with 1
# that is:
#theme1 , theme2, theme3, etc. , theme305
#If you don't number consecutively, this script will not run properly. You
#must also define the total number of themes as "rotate_number"
#6. Check if the script runs, if it does, you should change /etc/slim.conf to
#use the theme "current"
#7. This theme will now rotate your SLiM theme and wallpaper in such a way as
#to make them match each other. Note that SLiM will not let you change themes
#"on the fly", (as of July 6, 2008), so changes will not be apparent unless you
#restart SLiM. I run the script before I run slim in my etc/rc.local local
#script, so each time I reboot I get different wallpaper / login background.
#Fred Drueck 2008
#Define here all themes to be rotated and the total number of
#themes to rotate:
rotate_number=9
theme1=/usr/share/slim/themes/default
theme2=/usr/share/slim/themes/lake

oh i forgot to mention... its rotating while moving. i.e. is doesn't have to stop rotate and then continue back to origin.

HT1550 I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

Can you capture 1 video and author another at the same time?

To save time with videos that are not critical, can you capture one video to Premiere Pro at the same time you are authoring to Encore a previously captured video?

The short answer is yes.
I have just done that and I am happy to report that it worked like a charm.
I captured from a DVCAM tape via firewire using PPro CS6 while authoring a Blu-ray disk in Encore CS6.
No frames were lost during capture and my test blu-ray project was completed without a hitch.

Can you sync both iCloud and Google Calender at the same time?

Hi all,
I am an iCloud/MobileMe user, but have a Google Calender at work with other colleagues.
Is it possible to sync both to my iPad/iPhone at the same time?
I am yet to find a way to do this.
Thanks

You can subscribe to both calendars on your iPhone/Pad etc, you can also subscribe to them on your Mac

IS there a way to load and purchase different photos from iPhoto and ship them at the same time? the only way that I can find is to purchase each photo (or multiple of one) at a time, which increases the cost of shipping, as I want to get one print of 20

Is there a way to order multiple different prints in any quantity from Iphoto? it appears currently like I would have to ship each separately, even if only one print... is there a way around this so I can can get several DIFFERENT prints of any quantity and ship all at the same time?

Sure - easiest way is to make an album for photos you want to order and drag photos to it - when it is complete open the album, select all and order

Shooting videos and playing music at the same time

Hello,
I would like to buy a phone which could shoot videos and at the same time play music.
Does Nokia have such a model?
Thank you for your answer!

I don't think anyone has such a model.
When shooting video it's the sound being picked up by the mic that you'll hear in your earphones.

How do I play a video and audio file at the same time on Apple Tv?

I need to play a video loop (with no audio) on my apple tv and also play some music in the background. Its a video loop with no audio and then I need music to play in the background. The loop needs to repeat all day because its only 5 min long and the audio is an entire play list that's several hours. This is for a lobby flat screen setup.

QuickTimeKirk wrote:
Very difficult request because the Apple TV can only play one file at a time. It doesn't have a "loop" feature.
You could use QuickTime Player Pro to "join" the audio files into one file. The hard part would be adding the five minute video chunks via copy/paste as each would be added as a new "video" track. QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 "tracks" and the .mov container is supported by Apple TV.
So this new file would have a new video track (actually just a copy of the original) that played up to 98 times. A five minute source video would end up being a bit over 8 hours in duration.
The 98 track video could be "flattened" into one video track via export. The same for the audio track movie.
Other options:
Set the Quicktime Loop flag in the movie inspector properties.
Make a video playlist, adding the file to the playlist lots of times - make sure playlists are enabled in Settings for video not just music.

Rotating guns and shooting them at the same time?

I put the registration point as the gun's arms. So then the gun would rotate from the arms. But then the bullets come out from the registration point as well. So if I make the registration point on the barrel of the gun, the gun would rotate from the barrel and then shoot from the barrel. So I'm a bit confused where is the right place to place the registration point.
Now what I want would be: Shooting the bullets from the barrel, not the arms. And also rotating by placing an axis on the arms, not the barrel. At the same time.
I tried tweeking it like, bullet.x = x - 100 to make the bullet placed on the barrel and come out from there, but if i rotate let's say (180 degrees) it shoots from the from x - 100 but then the gun is on the other side, so the bullet wouldn't be coming out from the barrel anymore.
I also tried tweeking it by adding a movieclip INSIDE the movieclip gun's barrel so the bullets would come from THAT location, but it shot bullets weirdly and not in the right position.
here is my code, is there any modifications i can put? so it can shoot from the barrel regardless of rotating the gun and changing positions, and also rotate from the arms at the same time? if there is any other solution to tweek it, thanks a lot.
function initialize(e:Event)
   //add a click listener to the stage
   stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fire);
function fire(m:Event)
   //spawn a bullet
   var b = new Bullet;
   //set the position and the rotation of the bullet
   b.rotation = rotation;
   b.x = x;
   b.y = y;
   //add the bullet to the parent object
   parent.addChild(b);
   //play the firing animation
   play();
function update(e:Event)
   //make the gun face the mouse
   if (parent != null)
    var dx = parent.mouseX - x;
    var dy = parent.mouseY - y;
    var angle = Math.atan2(dy, dx)/Math.PI * 180
    rotation = angle;
Thank you for reading, sorry if it was long.

For some reason, the gun's bullets still come out from the registration point. The registration points are on the arms, the gun is facing right and the barrel is at the end of the right.
But I tried this code but the bullet comes out from the same place of the rotating axis. I tried playing around with the code but no possible solutions.
Thanks.
EDIT: Also, if I put
b.x=platform.x+Math.cos(gun.rotation*Math.PI/180)*gun.length; // where platform is the parent of the gun (assuming your gun is attached to a platform like a tank).
b.y=platform.y+Math.sin(gun.rotation*Math.PI/180)*gun.length;
The bullet comes out from the platform's registration point. If I remove the platform part, it comes out from the gun's reg point.
Another thing, if I modify it like "length - 100", it will change it's position but won't follow the rotation of the gun like I stated above. If it shoots from a certain location., and then I rotate the gun a certain amount of degrees the bullet will shoot from that side instead of following the gun's barrel.
So I'm wasn't completely sure on how to fix this. Thanks again.

Syncing two computers to play music at the same time

hi!
i have two imacs in my house one upstairs and one downstairs is there a way to sync them together with bluetooth so that if i play music it comes out through the speakers on both computers?

Temporarily, move the AirPort Express to the same room as the Time Capsule and power it up for a few minutes.
Then, hold in the reset button on the Express for 10-12 second and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
I have seen some bugs already with OS X 10.9.3, so we will have to see what happens on your end.
On your Mac, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on Other WiFi Devices
Click on AirPort Express
The setup utility will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network and then suggest that the Express will be configured to "extend" the Time Capsule wireless network.
Enter a device name that you want to use to identify the Expess and clck Next
The utility will set up everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete and you see a green light on the Expess, click Done.
Now move the Express to a location where it can pick up a strong signal from the Time Capsule. It should be no more than half way to two thirds the distance between the Time Capsule and upstairs location where you want more coverage. You may need to experiment a bit with the location of the Express for best results.

How to read two counters and writing AO at the same time with 6024?

I use Labview to read two quadrature encoder outputs and I use the two
counters
of 6024E for this. I can read the encoders continuously. I also want to
send an
analog output with a period of 30 miliseconds
while the reading of encoders is continuouing at the background. How can I
do
this. I searched the NI discussion forums and found that my device have
only 1 DMA channel. Is it possible to overcome the problem using
interrupt??(set device information.vi) Is there any example code about this
problem?
Thanks a lot.."

EHP7 Upgrade and BW Upgrade at the same time - possible?

Hello everyone,
we are currently planning to upgrade our ERP system from EHP 5 to 7 and BW from NetWeaver 7.3 EHP 1 to 7.4. NetWeaver and Kernel will also obtain an upgrade.
Is it possible to do the ERP and BW upgrades in one business downtime or are there any best practices which are recommended?
Regards,
Tobias Prein

Hi Tobias,
Is it possible to do the ERP and BW upgrades in one business downtime
Technically it is possible. You can have 2 different set of basis team working on each of these upgrades.
AS per best practise
Upgrade has to be done first on a copy of Production system ( to identify potential issues which may appear on Production). This will be followed by dev, QAS and finally production.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

Just bought the iphone 5 and before syncing to my mac i took some photos then finally decided to sync it but it deleted ALL of the photos and videos and replaced them with the old pics i had on my iphone4.. i need those pics please help

Nope.
Did you fail to import them before restoring from backup? If so, then they are gone.
You should import all photos taken with the iphone to your comuter regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore.

I have two Macs and I am using the same Apple ID on both. All of my info, history etc is showing up on both. How do I turn this off?

You likely have iCloud turned on in at least Safari. If you don't want Safari to sync between these devices turn one of them off. System Preferences - iCloud - Safari (uncheck the box)

I'd like to sync two videos and edit them at the same time, possible?
