Insert Time On Slide

Is there a way to insert the current time on the slide being displayed? The time would have to update of course.

JC23,
Did you mean to post this in the Keynote group?

Quiz Slides inserted into other slides??

Is it possible to insert a quiz slide into another slide with content on it? I have a short story in a series of about 11 slides, and would like the user to be able to answer some questions pertaining to the paruticular slides as they unfold. Is it possible to manipulate a multiple choice question that is inserted in another slide, and/or can the question even be inserted into a story slide? Thanks in advance!

Hi Sabrina
Accept my apologies for this late answer, last week has been very hectic. I will try to make it up, will send you a link to the example slide I did create if this is really what your wanted. You'll find a screenshot.
I create a slide with a duration of 10secs. The drawing I created (SimpleDiagrams) is visible for the duration of the slide.
To the slide an audio is attached (it is music here, but you will have a narration, that has a timeline of 7secs. After those 7secs, the question appears (see timeline screenshot). It has 4 Text captions:
Question itself (How many men...), labeled it Quest1
3. 4. The three possible answers, labeled Ans1_1, Ans1_2 and Ans1_3
The answers are covered with 3 click boxes, CB1_1, CB1_2 and CB1_3. They do only have a Success Caption, deleted Failure as well as Hint Caption. The caption gives the feedback to the user (on the screenshot I show the feedback for the correct answer). All captions are in the same location, have same size. To each caption I attached the appropriate object audio. It will play when the caption appears.
Finally I have a 'Next' button, that is initially set to invisible in the Properties, but will become visible when the correct answer has been chosen. You have to make sure that the pausing time of this button is after the pausing time of the click boxes. I labeled this button BtNext1
I created 2 standard advanced actions, really simple ones:
rewind to be attached to all click boxes that sit on top of incorrect answers; they will rewind the playhead so that it will not continue when the click box is clicked (which is the default behavior); since there is nothing specific to the slide object ID's, this can be reused on all question slides; action has one statement:
Assign rdcmndGotoFrameAndResume with rdinfoCurrentFrame
success to be attached to the click box on top of the correct answer (here CB1_2); it doesn't have to rewind the playhead, but will show the button that pauses the slide again (a little bit later on the timeline because the pausing time is later than for the click boxes); this action has a slide specific object ID (the label of the button), so you will have to duplicate it to have an instance for each slide, and change the button identification (label); to make editing easier I chose this typical label, you will only have to change the last character if you label your buttons with this logical names; this action has only one statement as well:
Show BtNext1

How do you edit date/time title slide???

I've used date/time title slides in my movie, but I can't edit the date/time. I want the time of the clip, instead it just shows the date/time I inserted the title into the movie. On other title slides, you just click on the info to edit but it doesn't seem to work???
Thanks

It will pick up the metadata from the clip.
So the first thing to check is whether your clip has metadata. Click VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO and skim your mouse over the clip. Do you see any data and time info?
You can add date and time info in iMovie by right-clicking on the Event clip and editing the date and time. i am not sure if this will populate the title, but it might. In older versions of iMovie, it would not.
A better solution (assuming you know the date and time) is to select that clip in the Event.
Then right-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder.
In the Finder, right-click/COPY. Go to your desktop and right-click PASTE. On this copy of the clip, change the name of the clip to clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss;ext where hh is hours in 24 hour time, ext is the current extension, and the rest should be self explanatory.
Once you have done this, import it into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT/MOVIES...
It is OK to import it into the same Event.
Now it should have the correct date and time metadata.

Should I insert a .cpvc slide or an .mp4 to show a software simulation?

I recorded a software simulation using Captivate 8. Most of the project is made up of individual slides, except in 2 sections that demonstrate how the screen moves when you swipe on a touch screen. To capture the swipes, I recorded a new video demo in Captivate. When this occurs, it creates a .cpvc file which you can then edit.
Should I insert the .cpvc slide directly into my .cptx project or publish it to an .mp4 first and then insert that video? What are the pros / cons of each method?
I've tried each and have had undesirable results using both methods. When I inserted the .cpvc file, the published project shows a spinning wheel (as if the video is loading) when the project advances to that slide (although the rest of the transition is smooth). When I inserted the .mp4 file, the transition is not smooth - the screen goes blank immediately before the .mp4 video begins.
It seems as though using the .cvpc slide is better although the loading / spinning wheel is not desirable in the project. How can I eliminate this from happening? Any advice would be appreciated!

I had both an iMac and a MBP years ago - I found that I used them about 50-50%. Inside the house, I'd do what needed doing on a large-screen on the iMac and then, at night, I'd web surf from the den or the bedroom. I liked the large screen on the iMac and the portability of the MBP.
But you introduce two new factors - you already have an external monitor (which, to me, favors the MBP) and you're going to be getting an iPad (which favors the iMac). With the external monitor, you'll have a large screen to work with. With the iPad you'll have portability for web surfing, etc.
I would go with the iMac and the iPad. Even though I'm now down to just a MBP with a 27" external monitor, I don't have an iPad - and that introduces a wholly new part to the equation. Previously, I had to have a MBP only (with no external monitor) because I lived in a nursing home. Now that I'm in my apartment, I use my MBP with external display probably 85-90% of the time and the MBP on the couch or in the bedroom about 10-15% of the time. To be honest, I'll seriously be looking at the 2013 Mac Pros and just use the MBP around the apartment and around town. I'm not planning on getting an iPad, so I'll still need the portability.
Those are just my thoughts and ramblings - if you're going to get an iPad, get an iMac.

Inserting time in motion 1

Hi,
I'm working in motion 1 and need to lengthen a section. I can insert time, but all regions after the inserting are then moved into new layers that are suffixed with '1'. If I do this several times, my project will be a complete mess. The insert time command also just inserts time - it does lengthen the selections, making me have to select all of the latter regions and try to match them up with the end of the cut, which is a pain.
Suppose I could export to final cut and find a way to lengthen the sections there.
This program is constantly crashing on me as well. Maybe I need to reinstall. I'd love to buy a new version of motion...but I can't. I don't have a grand laying around to blow on the entire suite. I don't see why apple can't sell separates like everyone else.

Hi,
But in this case user has to input entire date and time. Actually I have three fields
schedule_date - this shoud stores the date- data type : DATE
from_time - this should store start time for schedule date - data type : TIMESTAMP
to_time - this should store end time for schedule date - data type : TIMESTAMP
for eg. 18-MAR-2009, 9.10, 11.25.
I want user to enter only time in from_time and to_time.
I have tried setting format to HH24:MI but then it stores 1-MAR-2009 9:10:00:0000AM in from_time instead it should store 18-MAR-2009 9:10:00:0000AM in from_time and same with to_time.

Help! I have to keep entering my wifi WEP password every time I slide my iphone 4S on again. It doesn't store the password as it should.

Help! I have to keep entering my wifi WEP password every time I slide my iphone 4S on again. It doesn't store the password as it should.

The use of WEP is not recommended for compatibility, reliability, performance, and security reasons; WEP is insecure and functionally obsolete. Any reason you're using WEP? I ask, because you might as well not have any security at all, & this is most likely your issue.

Passbook causing iphone to restart each time I slide to view banner alert

Trying to figure out if it's the application that is causing the crash or new 5S or both.
Downloaded AMEX app and added a pass book scan through the app for one of my cards. Every time I use it the pass book displays a banner alert and it says " Slide to view details" EVERY single time I slide my phone displays the apple logo and automatically returns to lock screen without the banner alert like it restarted really quick.

Hi Rackham12!
I have a couple of troubleshooting suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, simply attempt to reset your phone according to the instructions in this link:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Help - Missing: Tempo Value Slider, Time Signature Slider

I'm assuming I'm missing something really basic here but I can't for the life of my find an answer.
How do I set which controls appear in the project controls area at the top of Soundtrack Pro?
I see Sample Rate but I do NOT see the Tempo Value Slider, the Time Signature Slide, the Key Pop-Up Menu. Where in the menus do I control what does and doesn't appear in that top bar under the project name?

One note of clarification. I do understand that I can find the tempo slider and time signature slider (or even the button to change the timeline from beats to seconds) under the project tab in the left-hand pane. But I seem to remember all of these controls being conveniently located at the top of the timeline. Is this just a change with the new version of Soundtrack? Is there no way for me to restore those controls to the top of timeline alongside the sample rate and read/latch/touch button as I believe used to be the case?

Time Between Slides In A Program - Captivate 7

I need to know where to look to lessen the time between slides in the program I am developing.

Hi there
Slide duration is configured in the properties panel.
Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do?

Query on deletion of duplicate data based on insertion time

Hi All,
I have loaded nearly 3 crore records in a table using SQL*Loader
(There are four datafiles)
Nearly 10 Lakhs records of a particular data file are duplicated on the database due to loading it by mistake another time.
Table has no constraints defined on it.
I know the approximate insertion time of the records.
Is there any way to find the rows based on insertion time and delete those duplicate rows?
Thanks,
Kishore

What version of Oracle? If you are on 10g and you created the tables to enable row movement and the loads were relatively recent, you may still be able to convert the ORA_ROWSCN pseudocolumn to a time and identify the rows that way. If you're on an earlier version, you didn't specify ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT when you created the table, or you did the load some time ago, you're probably out of luck.
If you're in ARCHIVELOG mode and you were doing logged loads and you still have the archived logs from the time period in question, you may be able to use LogMiner to identify the rows in question. I'd wager, though, that it would be faster just to query the table looking for duplicate rows and delete those rows.

Inserting a Question Slide

I am trying to insert a question slide, but it keeps defaulting to insertion as slide 9 when I need it to be later in the slide deck. I cannot seem to move the slide to where I need it either. Can someone help me fix this, please?

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Can you tell me the version of Captivate You are using (Go to Help > About Adobe Captivate) ?
Have you tried the same with a new Blank Project ?
Try to Copy and Paste all the slides in a new Blank project of same resolution and then check .
Thanks and Regards

Cut/insert time snip edit problem

My problem is getting a 2 bar block of all tracks in arrange window to simply cut and have the right half butt upto the left, Removing 2 bars closing the gap. I select every visible region (audio/midi) for two bars, hit set locators by regions command, then snip command, but error says not all regions are selected, well I know some are hidden and I have folders closed, that shouldn't make a difference ? I choose not to abort then the results are unfavorable, I see some regions shift but not all ? This seems like a very basic function that's not happening by following reference manual. Any ideas please ?
G5 Dual 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

For the snip function (Arrange Window's local menu: Region > Cut/Insert Time > Snip: Cut Time and Move by Locators) to work properly you need to first select the concerned Regions:
• The Region you intend to snip +
• The Region you intend to move (when you don't want to move all the Regions after the right locator)
To avoid that dialog when doing a regular snip (the whole arrangement after the right locator shifts forward), just press Command-A (select all regions) and then go to Arrange Window's local menu: Region > Cut/Insert Time > Snip: Cut Time and Move by Locators.

Insert time/frames shortcut?

Hello,
Is it possible to insert time from where the 'Current Time Indicator' is across all layers?
So it would extends all the layers and move all the keyframe accordingly..
In the adobe flash days pressing F5 would achieve the same effect.
So using this image as an example, pressing F5 would extends the layers/move all the keyframes after the indicator by one frame...
Hope the above makes sense
Many thanks for you help in advance

You're right, though, this is a massive pain. The more complex a project gets, the more you start dreading having to tweak timing in the middle.
The first thing I do when I need to add some time to the middle of a complicated composition is I sit back and have a long hard think about whether there is any way, any way at all, that I can avoid having to add time to the middle of my my complicated composition.
What's so frustrating, though is that 90% of the work is repetitive stuff that would be trivial to implement.
Even a simple tool, that just let you automatically select and drag:
- all layers that start after the playhead
plus
- in layers currently under the playhead, all keyframes from here to the end, AND the layer end handle
Drag that combo back and forward to your heart's content. That'd take so much of the pain away. It's a blunt tool - you may well have to either go back and fix things that were actually in motion at the cut, or prepare by putting keyframes round the cut point beforehand. Dragging back may cause some fun keyframe clashes if you're not careful.
But most importantly, it would make it trivial to drag a bit forward, a nudge back to get pacing just right - something that you just cannot do when every nudge currently takes several tediously careful ops to do...
And yes, you'd still have to go and correct any subcomps, but wouldn't that be a quicker job with a tool like this?
I'll stick this in a suggestion box if I can find one, but it seems like one of those things that's so bloody obvious and would make everyone's life so much easier that there's gotta be a reason Adobe haven't done it already. Like Apple taking half an eon to admit that ALL windows ought to be resizeable from their edges. Grrr
Sorry for the rant. One of those days.

Insert Time

Hello,
I would like to insert Time in one of the tables. Is there a time function that i can use to do it. I know there is one for Date i.e To_Date but i want only for time.
Thanks!
Kiran Verma

Oracle date columns always include a time. You just can't see it if you use the default date format. If you save SYSDATE to a column the time is saved. In order to see it, you have to use TO_CHAR(date_col, 'hh:mi:ss'). If you only want to save time, not date (I give up... why do you want to?) you would save them in a VARCHAR2 column with:
INSERT INTO the_table (time_col)
VALUES (TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'hh:mi:ss')
which would give you hours, minutes, and seconds. If you wanted to save military time as a number you would:
INSERT INTO the_table (time_col)
VALUES (TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'hh24mi'))
Hope this helps.
Best!

Insert times grow exponentially

Hello everyone
We want to store (lots of) performance data into a database and we are evaluating also berkeley JE. Basically there are devices and performance data types and an m:n relationship, so n types can be measured per device. Values of the performance data (kpi) are stored together with the timestamp when the measurement happened. What I want to get back from the database, is the performances data of one type of a device over a timerange (which are the values for objId/kpiId pair between two timestamps).
The classes I use are the following:
@Persistent
public class KpiKey implements Serializable {
     @KeyField(1) Long objId;
     @KeyField(2) Long kpiId;
     @KeyField(3) Date ts;
@Entity
public class KpiEntry implements Serializable {
     @PrimaryKey
     private KpiKey kpiKey;
     private Double value;
}Now I found out that inserting new values is linear in time, as long as the KpiKey stays ascending, when inserting new values, i.e. when objId and kpiId are constant and only ts grows (~3.5s per 100'000 inserts).
When I start to randomize objId and kpiId and keep ts ascending, the insert times grow exponentially, starting with 3.5s per 100'000 entires for the first 2'000'000 and grow up to 165s per 100'000 entries between 2 and 4 million entries.
Do you have any recommendations how to optimize this?
Thank you very much in advance.
James

>
So I think this is more a conceptual issue then a configuration issue.
Could another approach with a different primary key configuration maybe solve this issue? Since I don't want to store entites, but values into the DB, a composite key will probably be the only solution - or am I wrong?
>
Each record needs a unique key. Since you need to perform lookups by all the fields in your key, I believe your schema is correct.
One thing that may be working against you is that you are storing very small records, and there is a per-record overhead. If you were to group multiple values into a single record (same kpiId, same objId, but a range of timestamps) you may see a performance benefit. However, this only makes sense if you always operate on a range of timestamps, and don't need to delete or modify individual values. Just a thought, in case you hadn't tried it.
