Is it possible to import or reference a .csv file to animate an object

I want to be able to animate a speedometer from real data captured in a car.
if i have a time stamped value etc... move a pointer?
00:00:01     30
00:00:02     32
00:01:00     60
Any thoughts?

You can't use a text list for parameter values; you'll have to keyframe speeds, which, really isn't that big a deal (especially if you have "gracile" movements over time; example -- increasing speed steadily over several seconds, set a keyframe at the beginning and the end of the time segment and check that values correspond in between -- if not -- move to the correction position and set a new keyframe -- in the "new" FCPX, all that entails is making a change to the value after a single keyframe is set for the clip.)
I've already made a spedometer (tachometer too) just because I was experimenting with replicating a Number generator ( ).  Just about everything can be customized (colors for all elements, optional background and outline, etc...)
Most of the paramters are shared by the two generators:
And if you go into the Video Animation palette on the storyline, Speedometer (or Tachometer) and select the Speed (or RPM) value, you can ease the values in and out of keyframes (click on the line between points and drag right/left, or right click on the line and select a transition from the popup menu.)
You can download the generators from:

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • Import data from excel/csv file in web dynpro

    Hi All,
    I need to populate a WD table by first importing a excel/CSV file thru web dynpro screen and then reading thru the file.Am using FileUpload element from NW04s.
    How can I read/import data from excel / csv file in web dynpro table context?

    Hi,
    Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
    jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
    Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
              import java.io.File;
              import java.util.Date;
              import jxl.*;
             Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
    On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access  individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the  second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
              Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
    After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
    Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
    Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
    Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
    String a1 = a1.getContents();
    String b2 = b2.getContents();
    String c2 = c2.getContents();
    // perform operations on strings
    However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
      String a1 = null;
      Double b2 = 0;
      Date c2 = null;
                        Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
                        Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
                        Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
                        if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
                           LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
                           stringa1 = lc.getString();
                         if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
                           NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
                           numberb2 = nc.getValue();
                          if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
                            DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
                            datec2 = dc.getDate();
                           // operate on dates and doubles
    It is recommended to, use the close()  method (as in the code piece below)   when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.              
              // Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
              workbook.close();
    The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.
    Regards

  • I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table

    I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.
    As an example, my target database is HH910TS2, server is ADDb0001, my dB login is em/em, the Oracle table is AE1 and the CSV file is AECSV.
    Any ideas / help ?

    And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

It does not have any code of it's own (although it may have some "commands" that are SQL Developer specific)
    SQL*Plus is another front end (character based rather than GUI) that submits code to the database and displays the results. It also does not have code of it's own although there are SQL*Plus commands for use only in the SQL*Plus environment.
    The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;)

  • How to import old iPhone SMS.CSV file into new iPhone?

    Hey everyone,
    So I've spent a couple days on this as I just upgraded to the iPhone5S from my 4S.  Long story short, my backup restore didn't work after multiple tries (gave me the file is corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone error). 
    I tried:
    -reinstalling itunes
    -updating itunes
    -combining the 5S backup with the old 4S backup
    -tinyumbrella
    and a few of other things as I've forgot now.
    The most important things I needed was the contact list and SMS history.  I've got the contact list from extracting is successfully from the iTunes backup folder and using iCloud, but cannot figure out how to import the SMS.CSV file into my iPhone5S.
    Any suggestions on how I can get my SMS messages from my iPhone4s into my 5S?
    If anyone has any other suggestions on getting my Backup Restore to work that would be awesome too!
    Thanks!

    A word on SMS text messages. It is pracitcally impossible to import an SMS text-messages file to a new iPhone and have the Messages app on the new device read the messages.
    You can transfer, however contacts and other individual data (such as calendars and notes) from one iphone to the next. I had my old Nokia which whose contacts I exported to a CSV file. I then imported the file to my iphone which converted the file into multiple contacts in the Contacts app on the iphone. You can use a contact management app such as this one in order to import the contact file to the new iPhone.

  • How can I import data from a csv file into databse using utl_file?

    Hi,
    I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
    Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
    Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
    I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
    Please let me know how can I do this.
    Thanks,

    Why you want to export into .csv file.Why not export/import? What is your oracle version?

  • Automatic import of material data (csv file) from FTP directory

    Hello Experts,
    We created a Scheduled Task -> Data Import Monitor -> from a FTP directory.
    We loaded the .csv file with material data in the FTP folder but it is not getting imported.We have created the .csv file with the format of fields defined in Company quick start Work book -> Material tab. We also tried with a .csv file having first Field as CLASS_NAME with a value of masterdata.Material and rest of the fields same as defined in the Company quick start-Materials Tab still it did not work.
    When we load the .xls work book in FTP directory (xl having the Configuration tab and Material tab) the data import is working fine and the data is getting loaded automatically from the data import monitor job.
    Is there any specific format of .csv file in which the material data needs to be loaded to the FTP server for automatic import of data using Scheduled task?
    Regards
    Aditya

    Are there any errors appearing in the FPA logs?
    Have you checked the permissions on the folder/file that you are uploading from?
    What type of scheduled task have you created?

  • Problem importing specific data from .csv file

    Hello!
    I'm using JDev 11.1.3.0 with JSF ui and I've been following the excellent example about importing comma separated values from a .csv file, of Mr. Bors, but I have a specific problem...
    1) When i try to import a date value (format dd/mm/yyyy) to a date field of my adf table, the date won't be accepted and it's not shown (I'm using Row.setAttribute("Field", textValue) for that purpose). I guess I have to enter it in a specific format but don't know how!
    2) Same thing with double values. Tried 1.50 and it's showing on the adf table 0.02. Tried 1,50 (with a different text separator) and it's throwing me an error and doesn't show anything on the table (again i'm using Row.setAttribute("Field", textValue) for that one too)...
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you
    Edited by: Nikolas Saridakis on 6 Νοε 2010 11:10 πμ

    I tried your suggestion before I set my question but didn't know if I was looking on the right direction (I tried some things but they didn't work out). After a bit poking everything was fine...
    So I used
    Row.setAttribute("Field_name", oracle.jbo.domain.Date.fromText(value, "dd/mm/yyyy", null));
    and it did the trick...
    Weird thing about numbers was that after that, they were entered properly on the table with a normal Row.setAttribute("Field_name", value); with value being a String... anyway!
    Thank you Timo!

  • Error importing network device using CSV file

    While importing a CSV file of a single network device, I am getting this error:

    In the CSV template (downloaded from ISE web gui), I don't see a field TrustSecDeviceID. What is the error referring to?

    Kashish,
    This looks like a bug but I attached a template that you can use and i tested with my ise 1.1.1 patch 1 and it worked fine, just replace the fields that I entered and you should be good to go! Were you able to get the password reset successfully on the PSNs?

  • Is it possible to import a .pdf or .doc file into DVD studio Pro 4?

    When I finally finish my 2D animation for my Senior Project and finally make the DVD, I want to include the short story that the animation is based on to the DVD. I want to import it as .pdf or a .doc into DVD Studio Pro 4. What I want to know is, is if this is possible, or if is not, is there another acceptable file format that I can use if .pdf or .doc isn't possible?
    Message was edited by: obisgirl

    Techincally you can create a link to take it to the file... but there are so many different software DVD players that it doesnt work with 90% of them so its pointless..
    as for including your files on the DVD....
    First make sure your files are all in one folder called DVD Content or something like that so they know its in that location
    then in DVDSP at the top where all the icons are...
    hit build and format.
    in the general tab you will see...
    Disc
    Source
    DVD-ROM Data
    destination
    under DVD-ROM Data check the content box.
    Choose the folder you have all your files in.
    joliet extension support doesnt really matter but i always click it so that windows can identify better what file format it is.
    then continue building and formating.
    let me know if that works or if you run into an issue.

  • Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

    Dear Experts,
    I have two questions regarding the data manager.
    Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
    We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
    My image of csv file is like below;
    ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
    1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
    Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
    We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
    and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
    I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
    but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
    (I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
    reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Fumi

    Hi Fumi,
    In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...

  • Script to import contacts from CSV file into Address Book

    Hi,
    I am wondering if it would be possible to import contacts from a CSV file into a group in Address Book using applescript, and if so, if anyone is aware of a script that does this or something similar.
    I have a CSV file with three columns 'First Name', 'Last Name' and 'Email Address'.  I would like these to correspond with  'First', 'Last' and (Work) 'Email' in Address Book.
    Ideally the script would also check to see if entries already exist for the people being imported, but this is less crucial.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance,
    Nick

    Hi,
    Test this on a very small csv file (four or five contacts) to see if it works for you. It will not de-duplicate. You don't give the name of the group, so you'll need to replace Name of group in the second line with your group name, enclosed in double quotes.
    --begin script
    set the_people to read (choose file with prompt "Choose your CSV file")
    set the_group to "Name of group"
    set old_tids to AppleScript's text item delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
    set par_count to (count paragraphs in the_people)
    repeat with x from 1 to par_count
              set next_par to paragraph x of the_people
              set first_name to text item 1 of next_par
              set last_name to text item 2 of next_par
              set e_mail to text item 3 of next_par
              tell application "Address Book"
                        set nu_person to make new person with properties {first name:first_name, last name:last_name}
      make new email at end of emails of nu_person with properties {label:"Work", value:e_mail}
                        add nu_person to group the_group
      save
              end tell
    end repeat
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_tids
    --end script
    Watch out for bad line breaks in the lines beginning "set nu_person..." and "make new email..."

  • Is it possible to import messages into Mail that are in .csv format?

    Just in case my previous topic subject was preventing some folks from checking this out, I'lll try to ask my question in a more generic way.
    I have an archive of a mailbox from another email program that I'm trying to move over to Apple Mail. My archive is saved as a .csv file. I can open the file in either Numbers, Excel, or TextEdit, and I can see that all the info is there. However, I want to be able to import these into Mail so that I can integrate these old messages with my other emails. I would want to be able to search for these messages using Mail's search tools and be able to identify messages based on who they're from, the subject line, date received, etc.
    Specifically, this archive was exported out of Earthlink Total Access. My only options out of Earthlink were to export out as either .csv or a proprietary .dat file. I'm trying to figure out how to get the .csv file into Mail. I tried going through Entourage, but Entourage only imports contacts from a .csv file and not messages. I found a Unix utility that coverts a .csv to an mbox file (which Entourage would be able to import), but I'm not sure how to get it to work (I'm not that swift with Unix).
    http://membled.com/work/apps/outlooktext_tombox/
    Any brilliant ideas?

    I too am trying to transfer Total Access messages into Mail and have stumbled at every attempt to use other software, such as Entourage and OE, as intermediaries. I would love to hear if you get any response to this question. I was able to transfer all the addresses, but not the messages.
