If I want to make a single-frame importer, e.g. - for WebP image format, do I need to implement an SDK importer plugin? Are there any examples?

The title says it all really. Was wondering if there's a simpler interface to implement which does not contain video or audio, but just a still frame image.
I don't care about exporting this format from Premiere, just being able to read a single frame or a sequence of frames to be used as footage.

Hi Rotem,
A standard importer plug-in is the way to go for a still image importer. You could start from SDK_File_Import in the SDK. There is also a WebM plug-in on GitHub:

I want to use the MXCTRLLib functions from VB. Are there any examples?

I have tried
'* place a reference to the max library first
dim aa as mxConfiguration
set aa = new mxconfiguration
aa.invokeMAX ' starts a MAX session
'aa.invokecreatenewwizard(0,"test") = "help" 'starts the wizard for a new channel
The above code starts MAX interface running. There seems to be several function for reading and writing configurations. Does anyone have some examples?
I want to be able to read each channel and get it's name and scaling so my app can be set up properly if another engineer changes or adds a channel.
I also want to be able to setup a configuration very fast on a new computer. I know I can save the config... but creating the config is a pain w
hen dealing with large quantities of analog and digital signals. MAX does not seem to be able to handle the load. I am thinking of a seperate interface that acts more like a database where I can sort the channels by SCXI board and channel number OR by name.
To see these functions add a 'reference in VB to National Instruments MaxCTRL 1.0. After that you can use the object browser on MXCTRLLib to see all of the functions.

Megan -
I have attached an example that returns only the data that falls between the X max & min labels. If you zoom in on a particular portion, the data that is returned is only the data that falls within your zoomed X axis.
Hope this is of some help.

Are there any native single-player first person shooters available?

Hi there!
I'm searching for a good first person shooter that runs natively on my Arch64 system.
I know that there are several good first person shooters for Linux available, but i found nothing that gives me something different than deathmatch (well, there ARE several variants of it but in the end all variants are "a bunch of players is in an arena or something like that doing something like killing the other team members or destroying their base, steal their flag etc.").
But i want a single player FPS like Half-Life was. Or like the recently released "Stalker - Call of Pripyat".
Are there any? (FLOSS would be nice but is no must).
TIA!
Dirk

I've been looking for a good native FPS for a few weeks now too. I did try Sauerbraten. It was very impressive, but a little... odd. Of course the graphics and sound were great. The story and narrative impressed me, and reminded me of playing the intro to Half-Life 2.
But the odd thing was... little things. Like, I had the game on the "easy" setting, but still got my butt kicked really quickly. (which caused me to lose items and ammo, and therefore became harder) And the enemies were extremely aggressive, but sometimes would just... stand there, looking at me. It was a little eerie. And I died on the map I was playing in places that I probably shouldn't have, simply because it was confusing. (I saw the "Danger - Electricity" signs as I was landing on the platform with dangerous electricity) And I got stuck in a "hole" that was really hard to get out of. (I had to move a box, jump out of it, and try over and over to jump out) And I spent a lot of time trying to figure out where to go next, and I was just in the first 10 minutes of the level. And enemies seem to take a ton of bullets to kill.
So, to summarize, the graphics and sound and narrative and the "running and shooting" were all very good. But the level design and enemy design and difficulty level were a little off.
I uninstalled it and have been playing Assault Cube for a few days. The only "single player" mode is against bots in an arena, but I'm liking it because it is pretty simple (pretty much just running and gunning) and it is not a "twitch" shooter - people actually move a little more like they do in real life, as compared to something like Quake. I get my butt kicked in both Assault Cube and Quake, but at least I get my butt kicked slower in Assault Cube.
EDIT: I've been thinking about trying Marathon (Aleph One). http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6111 It's a complete FPS. I haven't tried it yet. It's old, but age isn't a problem for me. I still love and play Doom to death.

Is there a way to color one thing in a black and white photo. Example: I have a picture of a tulip field and I want to make it black and white - which I have already done - but I want to make one single tulip red. Help?

No, you'll need an external editor for the job:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv. I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

When I put in a scroll in fcx, I get a single frame of the scroll flashing on the screen about a second or two before the scroll appears. There is nothing on the timeline and this only appears after I have made the quicktime or dvd. Any thoughts?

I want to make a grid. Apple said Pages will do the job. I need to change the grid to 1 in. x 1 1/2 in. squares. What tutorial can I use to show me how to do this?

A calendar is not difficult nor does it take long once you know where the dates fall.
Start with a basic month template table.
1. Click on the table icon on the Toolbar to create a basic table for one month
2. Click on the resultant table > Inspector > Table > Headers & Footers > 2nd button > 1
3. Inspector > Table > Body Rows: 6 > Body Columns: 7
4. Inspector > Metrics > Size > Width: 7 cm/in > Height: 7 cm/in
You can drag resize the whole month to your liking afterwards
5. Select the entire header row > Inspector > Table > Edit Rows & Columns > Merge Cells > Type in a month
6. Type Mon in first cell & Tue in 2nd cell of of 2nd row > Select both cells and drag the white dot in the bottom right corner sideways to fill the cells with the days
7. Do the same with the dates in the cells below
8. You can fill the spare dates at the beginning and end of the month if you like and maybe change them to a paler grey.
9. Style and position the text as you like it.
10. If you don't want to see the grid or want different strokes, colors etc:
Inspector > Table > Cell Borders/Cell Backgrounds etc
When you have the first month looking the way you want, option drag out copies sideways to make the rest of the months.

I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 1.5TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
      loads select your language and click on the Continue
      button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
      Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
      of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then
      the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART
      info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on
      the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
      from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
      Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
      the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

Are there any apps that make it now possible to scroll with Mountain Lion ?

I just gave up on a project that required me to be able to scroll through a Senate bill. I'll probably go back, but it just shouldn't be so difficult, so painful. and I'm not talking about the bill's language. No, it's just Apple's decision to do away with the USEABLE search arrows that existed before Mountain Lion, and, yes, I know that you can use the little up and down triangles--sometimes--for this purpose. I have written to Apple about this on more than one occasion, but I never felt that this would do any good. Anyway, I came here to see if anyone knows of an app that has been developed to overcome this strange, almost malicious, behavior of Apple's. Are there any apps I can use on my iMac for scrolling? If not why not? I know I have a lot of company in my disgust with Apple's behavior, so I have to there is some prohibitively difficult problem that makes such a fix impossible. Is that the reason why no one has come to the rescue of Apple's suffering customers?

For very long documents in PDF or on a web page, I just lean on the space bar for big jumps (Shift-spacebar goes up), or on the down arrow keys for short scrolling. If I'm on my laptop, the trackpad provides both large jumps and fine control. If I'm on my desktop, I love my scroll wheel mouse.
In apps like Word, you can't scroll with the spacebar because you need it to type spaces, so I just use the Page Up/Page Down keys. On short Mac keyboards you press Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to page up/down.
There are so many more and better ways to scroll now compared to the 1980s when the only way was to click-click-click over and over again on stupid scroll arrows. If it stopped scrolling it meant you had to re-aim the mouse because the mouse slipped a little and the arrow is no longer hitting the arrow. If you wanted to scroll up, you had to move the mouse quite a ways because the arrows were on opposite ends of the bar. Scroll arrows were the worst and least efficient way to scroll and I don't miss them at all.
I'm glad we have so many superior alternatives now where, unlike scroll arrows, you don't even have to look at the screen to scroll quickly and accurately. Today, the only good use for a scroll bar is to tell you how far you are through the document.

I have a presentation to make to a customer and need to know how many educational apps are there for the iPad/iPod?

I have a presentation to make to a customer and need to know how many educational apps are there for the iPad/iPod? More specifically special education apps.
Thanks

Keep in mind as well that not all apps are "created equal". Some are really good, and others are not very good. You might also want to look at some education sites for recommendations. An example of a general iPads in education forum is
http://ipadeducators.ning.com/
but I imagine some exist for special education needs as well. Our healthcare organization is using some apps for working with autistic children and find them very helpful.

Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 contacts are not listed

Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list. It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it. You need to add a few names.

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and I have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad to the iTunes account

You can sync as many iDevices as you own to a single iTunes library if you want to do so. If you manage the content manually, you can pick and choose the apps, music, videos and so on that you want on each device. One iTunes account means using the same Apple ID to purchase and update all of your apps. You can share apps on both devices because once you buy an app, you can download it to all of your iDevices - as many times as you want - using the same Apple ID and iTunes account. If you decide to do this, you have to sync to the same computer each time in order to keep all of your shared apps in the one iTunes library.
The Kindle App content is not synced to the iTunes library. It is controlled by your Kindle account. I believe that you can go into your Kindle account and transfer your purchase to your other devices - iPad, computer, etc. You can both have the Kindle app on your iPads and share the content as far as I know, so I see no conflict there. However, while I do have the Kindle app and an account, I do not use it very often.
If you want to share the one iTunes account, there should be no problems with a second iPad. I sync my iPad, my iPod Touch and my wife's iPod Touch to my MacBook using the same iTunes library and we have different content on all three devices. My daughter uses my iTunes account for her iPod Touch and syncs to her own MacBook and her own iTunes library.
Four devices using one iTunes account syncing to two different iTunes libraries.

I do not want Creative Cloud. My current version of Lightroom is 5.7. I take it I have to buy Lightroom 6 outright? Are there any price concessions for upgrades?

I do not want Creative Cloud. My current version of Lightroom is 5.7. Are there any price concessions for upgrades or do I have to buy Lightroom 6 outright?

@landaloons who posted: "Clicking 'Checkout' does nothing. There is apparently no way to get the upgrade at present."
Your browser has to have tracking enabled and open a pop-up for Checkout to work. Browser add-ons and custom settings can block this from happening. In Firefox I had to temporarily disable Ghostery to advance past the Checkout button. You may have a similar tracker/pop-up disabler in your browser that you need to turn off temporarily. Alternatively try a different browser with no custom settings. Doing this I was able to download and install a $79.99 upgrade version, so it does work, but they don't make it easy to find or do. They want you to subscribe instead. (In fairness, though, you'd have this same Checkout issue trying to subscribe to CC if your browser settings block advancement past the Checkout button.)

My MacBook Pro beeped when I started up. Never happened before. I want to get it looked at, but I'm living in Antalya, Turkey right now. I will be in Athens, Greece until January 1st-are there any Apple stores in Athens? Please help. Thank you.

I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro and it started to beep for the first time when I started up today. I think it was 3 continuous beeps then a pause. It sounded like an alarm and totally freaked me out. Then I pressed the on/off button for about 5 seconds and it restarted. I was able to get online, but then I had trouble with the trackpad, which is okay now. I have AppleCare and want to take it to an Apple Store, but I'm currently residing in Antalya, Turkey. I will be in Athens, Greece until January 1st. Are there any Apple Stores in Athens, Greece that I can take it to or Antalya, Turkey??? Thank you.
