Is Director the program for me?

I wonder if Director is the program I need?
What I want to do is to have a program look at a piece of video and export a vertical line of pixels from each frame, starting with pixel line 1 from the first frame, line 2 from the second frame  and so on until the video is finished. It won't be very long.
Exported 'strips' should go in a folder and be numbered from 1 upwards. My questions are can this be done with director (somebody said it could as there is a horizontal pointer function), what would be the format of the 'strips' or can I choose? If it can be done can it be done easily as I have very little programming experience and none at all with Director. If anyone could suggest an alternative if Director is no good that would be great. Cheers, DAVE.

    This is a user to user help forum only - no one here can cancel your order.
    If there is a tracking number, your order has shipped and after an order has shipped, it can't be cancelled. When your order is received, you can contact Apple about having it exchanged.

  • Is Adobe Director the software for me?

    Dear programmers and developers.
    I have a small project, and I would like to know, if Director
    is suited for me to do this work. I am to make a small
    CD-presentation containing a catalogue for a small music-booking
    agency.
    I have thought it out as a small non-web self-running CD
    application, containing: A small custom flash intro,(splash-screen)
    a main program window with no frame containing overview of content
    and custom made buttons referring to sub-menues. In the submenus,
    id like the possibility to run audio-files in an background
    internal audio player, controlled by custom audio navigation
    buttons in every submenu. And since it is a PRmedia project, I need
    it to be as graphical as possible.
    I have basic knowledge in programming and design tools, but
    would prefer to work from some sorts of templates.
    I sincerely hope to hear from you, friendly Director users,
    if you could take out a ittle time to answer my question.
    Best regards
    Alexander benjamin

    Hi Alexander,
    The short answer to your questions is YES. Director is
    extremely well suited to
    what you want done. It is the best multimedia authoring
    program for this type of
    application. No other program can do near as much as
    Director.
    There aren't any templates for designing the look and feel of
    your project. But
    this just gives you the opportunity to design something
    unique. There are behaviors
    that help to simplify the amount of programming required.
    I teach students in how to create offline multimedia
    applications and am happy to
    offer advice on any area of this process. You can begin
    learning the basics of
    Director at my tutorial page:
    http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/learning/director
    I also have a resources page that as links to all the best
    Director sites and
    sources of information on the web. This is at:
    http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/learning/director/resourses/
    I wish you all the best with your project.

  • /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 program is not working correctly if we run the program for range of material and plant wise

    Hi APO Experts,
    In our project, we have received more sales order inconsistencies which is not clearing by CCR program and it is clearing by  program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, So We have decided to schedule the background job on daily basis for program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, performing the testing in our quality system and observed the below strange behavior. 
    When I am running the program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with Range of products and some location range with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, in Background job. In output it is suggesting to delete one sales order. If I checked that Sales order in ECC, it is for an different location, that is not part of my selection and the order is open. In MD04 the Qty is showing 1 ( as per sales order) but in APO RRP3 view the order qty is showing Zero. I have run the CCR, it is coming in different in content and if I push, the different is not going to APO.
    I have tried running the program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with plant which is mentioned in that sales order with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, in Background job , it is suggesting this sales order under update option correctly.   
    Can you please help me understand why it is behaving differently like the location is not part of my selection and why it is suggesting the wrong action. And also whether is it advisable to run the /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow at plant range and material range in background job.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sundaram Radhakrishnan

    Sundaram,
    It sounds to me like the sales document records in the OLTP and in APO were created at different times.  This is common in Dev and Qual environments when the systems are commonly created at two different times, and each was a copy of an existing system that contained sales data.  The order number you see in //rrp3 is somewhat irrelevant; system generally uses the guid for many activities.
    FYI during Dev and Qual refreshes, if you are copying from a production environment that contains data, it is always best to create the OLTP and SCM images at the same time, and to copy them both to the Dev and Qual systems at the same time.  If you don't do this, you are faced with the additional tasks associated with getting the copied systems back into synch.
    If this is Dev or Qual, I suggest that you just completely wipe out all sales orders in APO and rebuild them using the CIF.
    If this is a mature production environment, the only time I have ever seen this issue is due to improperly created CIF enhancements.  Speak to your developers to find the root cause, and correct this problem.  Then, wipe out all sales orders and rebuild with CIF.
    Best Regards,

  • Is Motion the program for me if I want to create motion infographics and kinetic typography?

    Hello,
    I am trying to master infographics and basic animations like these:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlH1BDWGYrw
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iReY3W9ZkLU&feature=fvwrel
    I know motion pretty well but run into issues when trying to make motion graphics. For example I don't find motion very good at making smooth natural movements with text and images I am trying to animate.
    I am wondering if Aftereffects is a better program for what I am going for. Or is there another program out there for this kind of animation. I am about to start learning after effects but don't want to dive in if it will give me the same abilities as motion.
    Thank you

    uhm, well ... the default setting is a very fast effect, 14f only.
    changing parameters, eg a 14x loop can not be shown
    so, step#1 to see how variations take effect is making that behavior longer.
    step#2 - to pingpong the end condition you have to shift the last two keyframes longer to notice an effect,
    hard to tell from remote ...
    problem with 'canned' effects is:
    - If you know what each template stands for, you're super fast,
    - If you have some very specific, own 'behavior' in mind, the traditional, manual key-framing and transform/position method is probably faster. or 'more to the point'.
    most KT I've seen so far are very basic movements - rushing in, rushing out, various rotations. done.
    making it special by a) applying motion blurr, b) applying 'physics', as bouncing, 'gravity' acceleration, repelling objects etc.
    ... for instance, I wouldn't use that pre-canned peek-in in a KT ... I like the usage of typography and imaginative layout/combo of stylized graphics and few words much more than excessive 'movement'.
    example
    but, probably, that is a matter of age ....
    the very British of Mr Fry alone fascinates me ... no need for bouncing letters
    anotherr example, not exactly KT, but to illustrate my pov:

    Have you done a Tools/Error Checking for the Local Disk C?
    Then, maybe

    a. uninstalled using the usual Control Panel route
    b. did a ccleaner run through with its regular and registry cleaning parts

    c. reinstall with antivirus and firewalls Off.
    I have been doing some searches....any chance you have a RAID configuration change in your computer environment?
    Can you right clicked the program desktop icon and select Run As Administrator? If so, please do so. Are you still running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    You might want to take a look at some of my encounters with activating Premiere Elements and see if there is anything in that which applies to your situation.

    Hi,
    Herewith my screenshot attached. There are thre inputs thres, tempX, xValue, it is in side the while loop.'xValue' will be acquired every iteration, It will be saved through shift register and acquired to 'tempX' for the next iteration, 'thres' is a constant value. I'm doing some logic, and calculating the dvalue and convert it to a string and concatenate it with end of line character, then after writing it into a file.
    In the logic, inside of the functional logic  I'm assigning some values dValue, if the logic is true or else dvalue will be 0
    What I require is I don't want to write the dValue in to a file, if it is equal to zero. Could you please help me, how to tackle this problem?
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop cs3 extended asking for serial number and activation after having the program for over 5 years now

    for some reason the program out of the blue is asking for a serial number and activation.  I can't find the case anymore.  does anyone have a way I can contact adobe directly to see if they can help me solve this problem. 
    Everywhere I look points me back to the forum or troubleshooting menus.
    thanks

    It may think you have a different computer if you've changed some of the hardware recently.
    Did you purchase the software as a download or register it with Adobe?  If so, your serial number may be available from them directly.  Click first the red A logo at the top of this page, then drill down through [Manage Account] to see the products they have on file for you.
    If you've physically lost your serial number and never registered it with Adobe, it's like losing a wad of cash on the street.  You're responsible for holding onto your valuables and no one's going to step up and replace it for you.
    The Creative Cloud Photographer's Bundle subscription package is still available for $9.99 a month, as far as I know.

  • How to stop the program for a while?

    Hi,
    I've created a small prog that the only thing it does is to ask for a given password before granting access to certain data. It works fine on the WTK emulator (from Sun of course), but it crashes on a Nokia 6600 due to a bug in the Nokia's MIDP2.0 implementation. Now I need to trace/find the exact point of the program where it crashes (in the mobile phone - where the app gets closed). MY PROBLEM is that I need to insert into the program some kinda code that stops for a while the program saying "I am at the Nth step and running fine", but I can't stop the program from executing, because I can't find out how, I've tried the
    display.setCurrent( someAlert );but it doesn't seem to stop the program like it would in an HTML JavaScript page. And:
    Thread.currentThread().sleep( 2000 );doesn't stop for some reason the program either..
    Can anyone give me a tip or a workaround of how I can temporarily stop the prog? Please help

    Try putting the current thread to sleep right after setting the alert:
    yourAlert.setTimeout(3000);
    display.setCurrent(yourAlert);
    try {
       Thread.sleep(3000);
    catch(...)
