Is it possible to control the zoom percentage in FCE?

I've got some interview clips where I'm too far away from the subject, and I'd like to reframe and tighten the shot while editing. Is this done using zoom? On my 3.5 FCE the zoom drop down has fixed selections (50%, 100%, 200%, etc) and no obvious way to set it for a particular size, like 75%.
Also, when I zoom into a clip and then drag the resulting clip onto the timeline, the result is that the timeline has an image that has returned to the same size as the raw file -- not resized as seen in the viewer. What am I doing wrong (or not doing)?
Thanks

Hi - the drop down menu you are using is not adjusting the size of the clip, it is adjusting the size of the +display in the canvas or viewer window.+
To actually zoom in on the clip itself, you need to edit it to the clip to the timeline.
Then double-click on the clip so that the timeline clip loads into the viewer.
In the Viewer, click on the motion tab.
Adjust the Scale control to zoom in or out of the clip.
Now you have actually adjusted the scale of the clip. Depending on the power of your computer and the material you are working with, when you make that adjustment you may need to render the clip to see it play back smoothly.
Hope this helps.

Controlling the "zoom" effect

Hey there again,
Is there a way to control the zoom effect in the AC3? I have a zoom effect and I need to adjust how far it goes, is this possible?
This is the code from the function:
var myTransition2Manager:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(content_mc);
myTransition2Manager.startTransition({type:Zoom, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1.5, easing:Regular.easeIn});
And this is the link to the site
Thanks

You might want to try using the Tween class instead of the TransitionManager class, and simultaneously tween the scaleX and scaleY properties from and to whatever values you intend.

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

How can I control the zoom on my mac mouse?

How can I control the zoom function on my mouse? In the middle of working on things my hand will rub the mouse by accident and all of a sudden the context within the screen is large. I have no idea of how to work this feature on my mouse and most times to get it to return to normal, I have to escape out of the work I am performing.

If you are pressing the "Control" button on the Mac keyboard, scrolling up will zoom in and scrolling down will zoom out. You can disable this if it annoys you through System Preferences > Universal Access. If you are using Mountain Lion, it would be System Preferences > Accessibility.
Uncheck the in the "Seeing" or "Zoom" section that says "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom". It may be slightly different if you have an older OS X version. I have Mountain Lion and am going off of memory on the older versions.

Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed

it up/slow it down?

I actually think the content gets smoother in faster mode. But maybe that's just my opinion.
By the way, the fast/slow/reverse effect is pretty sensitive, i use it for my fight scenes in movies and I can only raise the bar one notch faster before it starts to look cheesy.

Is it possible to control the parallel port with Lookout 5.0

I want a simple demo setup on a PC, so I can control the 8 data bits of the parallel port. Example, to use START p/b that would toggle bit 0 and data returned on bit 1.

It is possible to send bytes to the parallel port using the ASCII object within Lookout. However, it is presently not possible to control the state of the individual bits on the parallel port with Lookout.
If you need to control the individual bits on a parallel port, consider using LabVIEW. It is much more powerful when programming serial and parallel ports.

Is it possible to controll the positioning of a new window when someone clicks one of my links

I was wondering if it was possible to control the positoning of a new window that pops up when someone clicks one of my site document links on my dreamweaver site. When a link is clicked and the new window pops up, I'd like to control the window size and positioning of the new window. Is this possible without having to use a tooltip or other option?

Some browsers will display pop-up windows in the parent window, some will open them in a new tab or new window. I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about end user settings.

Is it possible to control the order that text flows appear when using them as text insets?

I want to create multiple flows in a FrameMaker file which I can then insert as text insets. I would like to choose the inset using the Body Page Flow: dropdown list. However, there seems to be no order, alphabetical or otherwise, in which these flow appear in the drop down list. Is it possible to control this order, or is there a particular reason it appears the way it does?
Cheers,

IIRC, the flows are displayed in the order that they were created.

Is it possible to control the cursor of a XY-graph via Keyboard and read the y value of the curser x-position?

I have following problem when I control the cursor via an attribute note, it is neccersary to free the cursor, but then it is not possible to read the y-Value of the cursor position. I want to control the cursor via keyboard and buttons, but with the funtionality of attribute setting "cursor fixed to plot".

You know the X position so just read the Y value by reading it straight from the Y array instead of from a property node...
Alternatively unlock the cursor if the position control has changed...and lock it again if it is constant for n milliseconds; to produce the Y value from the Y property.

Is there any way to control the zoom factor so that when my SSIS Package is opened, it is entirely visible within Visual Studio?

I have formatted my SSIS Package beautifully, if I do say so myself, so that all my tasks are visible at 50% zoom. However, when I close my project and then re-open it in Visual Studio, it defaults back to 100%...YUK!
I did find this post which didn't seem to work...even to the point that no where within my xml could I even find the "PersistedZoom" Parameter. I even tried manually adding it, I couldn't find the exact syntax on it, and that didn't even work.
1. In BIDS (Visual Studio) first close all open SSIS packages / xml files to avoid confusion ...
2. Right click on the SSIS package and select the "View Code" menu item. (to open the actual xml)
3. Search for all instances of "PersistedZoom" and change the value directly to the right of it to 100 (mine
was 80 or 90 ...)
4. Now save and close the XML file.
5. Now open the SSIS package in the designer, you will notice that it is still scrolled to the bottom right!
6. Now make any small change (I scrolled to the top-left and just slightly moved a task)
7. Now save and close the designer
8. Re-open the SSIS package in the designer! and what do you know it does not start scrolled down to the bottom right anymore!
Let me know if you still have issues - but as I said I followed this same process on all my problem packages and they ALL now open correctly.
I noticed that after doing all this the PersistedZoom property disappeared from the xml, which leads me to believe that if I zoom in and out of my packages again it will probably get stuck by opening to the bottom right again ...
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

There is no way to preserve view preferences.Just remember or annotate the zoom % used in the package.
You may want to open an MS Connect item asking to add such a feature.
I can tell you it may not be implemented because a package may be opened on different size monitors.

Is it possible to control the height of the Portfolio panel via the PDF Portfolio itself?

Hi All,
Is it possible to embed into a PDF Portfolio kind of a directive to Adobe Acrobat Reader what should be the height of the Portfolio panel (red line on the image below)?
The idea, basically, is to adjust the height of the panel to the number of files in the portfolio.
Alternatively, is there a way to embed a directive to open by default the Layout pane instead of the Files pane?
Thank you all in advance for assistance!

You can control it at initial view time, but not dynamically. Once its displayed it's user-controlled.
AFAIK, you can't open it into Layout mode.

Is it possible to expand the zoom range in Keynote?

I thought I'd seen a hack where you could change the available zoom values, but I can't find it.
I'd like to be able to zoom out to 10%, since I use transition distance to create a parallax effect in Magic Move animations.
Anyone know if it's possible to change this? I know it's not an option in the app, but I think I'd seen an article where it was something you could edit in a PLIST file (or something) somewhere in the weeds.

Thanks Gary, but you're sort of playing semantics at this point.
Great, you can fit two screens worth; but what if I want to vertically scroll 5 screens of information? I need more room. Take my word for it. I'm running out of room and would like to zoom out further. I'm able to accomplish this currently by putting things off the visible canvas, but my objects are offscreen, and lost to me if I accidentally ungroup them, but the point is that the canvas is out there somewhere, I just can't get to it because of the arbitrary limit of 25%.
Also, I'm not sure what you did in your last screenshot, but the example image I posted does NOT have that much free space around the scene....see the image below where the colored tiles represent the dimensions of the slide. Strange that the slide was much smaller in your example. Either way, the answer "it IS good enough" doesn't really help me and is obviously not the case, but I guess...thanks for trying to convince me that I didn't need to ask my question?

Is it possible to control the naming convention used by Aperture when importing photos? If so, how

When I import photos from my camera, I have them placed into projects based on the date the photos were taken. However, I do not like the naming convention used by Aperture as it causes the projects to sort into a non-chronologial order. The convention is MMM-DD-YYYY and I want to change it to YYYY-MM-DD. Is it possible in Aperture 3.2.4 to do this?

In the Import panel you can edit the preset for the file name format to "Image year - image month - image day - index" for example; the preset for folder names seems to be gone in Aperture 3,3 - at least I cannot find it any longer. You only seem to be able to enter the folder name manually in the Import panel.

Is it possible to control the rate of fading in transitions?

Hi,
I've tried searching but can't come across anything specific to the actual rate of fading and changing it.
I have two clips that I want to change between. From the first clip, I want to gradually fade-to-black over a time of maybe 3 seconds. BUT, for effect in bringing in the second clip, I want it to fade-in-from-black much quicker in a time of maybe 0.2seconds.
Anyone any idea how to achieve this? All I seem to be able to do is change the length of transition that determines the rate of fading, but it's equal at fading out and in, I can't find how to change the fade out and fade in rates so they are independent of each other?
Thanks,
Crispy

Crispy,
To do that will require two transiitions and a clip of black.
The first transition is from clip A to the clip of black. The second transiiton from the black clip to your clip B.
To create a black clip you can use Centered Title without any text.
