Is It Possible To Snap The Start/End Point Of Gradient Tool To Edges Of An Object?

When I am modifying a gradient on an object, I would like to snap the starting point and the ending point of the gradient to the edges of the object I am working on. Is there a way to do this? I tried just using Smart Guides, as well as the grid and regular guides with no luck. Any ideas?

Krisler,
Select your Inline graphic. Then click on the center of the graphic and drag the mouse's pointer into the text. When you get your pointer into the text you will see the insertion cursor (vertical bar) just at the tip of the mouse arrow. When you let go of the mouse button the insertion point for the graphic will be where the insertion bar was at that time. The key point is to concentrate on the position of your arrow tip as you attempt to reposition the insertion point.

FCP Audio Clips in Soundtrack Pro - Marking the Start & End Points

When I double click on an audio clip that I've sent from FCP into Soundtrack Pro I seem to open up the entire media file.
How do I lock off or at least mark the clip start & end?
I don't see any markers that tell me which part of the clip is actually used in the imported FCP sequence.
I only want to make (non-destructive) changes to the clip.
I don't want to alter the original media file.
And I just want to work on the part that's used in the FCP sequence.
It makes sense that there's a way to show the start & end points of the clip but I'm just not seeing it.

I am a bit of a newb here, so pardon if my explanation is a little unpolished, but I have been working on some of my projects like you are and this is what i figured out. I select my sequence in FCP and send to stp as a multitrack project. The whole audio timeline shows up just as it looks in fcp, and the video track shows as one large clip that is made up of all my cuts put together. Now, my audio tracks are all on one line, and i can see all the clips with their cuts on the sequence. I click the first one and open it up to work on in the waveform editor. At that point i see the entire audio clip, including the part before and after my cut that i am using in my sequence, but i also see, up near the playhead, gray markers that show the actual part of the clip i am using in my edit. It is easest to hit shift-z to look at the entire clip on screen, and then find the grey markers. Also, if you play audio before the in marker, you will hear it but you will see that the video is not playing anything, then once you enter into the in-out section the video will play along, and when you pass the out marker the video freezes as the audio keeps playing. Hope this helps.

Start-End points not working when sent to Encore

Hello all, I tried to send a project to Encore but I got an error and Encore closed, I did it again and it worked but the start-end points didn't work, I got the whole project. I have since gone back to a former project which I had previously outputted small segments for YouTube and no matter where you set the Start-End points you get the whole project. Is Encore now corrupt or have I changed something ?

I don't quite know what you mean, I opened a project that I left set to output a small portion for You Tube. I clicked dynamic link send to Encore, when Encore opens the whole timeline is there,or am I getting confused ? do you always get the whole timeline start to finish when you send to Encore or are you supposed to get just the part between the start-end points ?

Terminal - how to jump type to the start/end of a word or line?

How do I jump to the start or end of a word or line in Terminal?
In other OS X apps, Cmd or Opt + left/right arrows move to the start/end of a line or word respectively.

Try these (note: the first two require the shift key, at least for me):
ctrl-A beginning of line
ctrl-E end of line
(note: the next two require that you have the Terminal preferences, "settings" , "keyboard" opened, and the checkbox for "Use option as meta key" checked)
opt-f forward word
opt-b backward word
ctrl-u clears the line before the cursor position. If you are at the end of the line, clears the entire line.
ctrl-f forward character
ctrl-b backward character
ctrl-d delete character
ctrl-l clear screen
pageup page up in buffer
pagedwn page down in buffer

Line Graph repeats the starting data point at the end also

Hi,
We have a Line Graph as below. This graph is used to show the Salary changes of a person, over time.
But this graph shows an additional non existing data point. Basically it shows the starting data point once again at the end of the other data points.
The model VO for this graph, does not contain this additional data point record. But the graph repeats the starting data point at the end also.
In the screen-shot you can see that, the graph has three data points. But the table has only two. The first data point in the graph is repeated as the last data point.
Is this a Bug..?
Or an issue with the usage of the DVT tags?
The code is given below.
Please advice.

If I understand your question, this from the Pages online help may give the answer:
To mark line, area, and scatter charts with data point symbols:
Select the entire chart. You can also select the chart series (the line or area shape) that you want to mark with data point symbols.
Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Chart Inspector button.
Click Series (except for scatter charts).
Choose a symbol from the Data Point Symbol pop-up menu.
Choose one of the following options from the Symbol Fill pop-up menu:
To fill the symbol with the same color as its outline, choose Use Stroke Color.
To fill the symbol with a solid color, choose Color Fill, click the Fill color well, and pick a color.
To fill the symbol with a gradient, choose Gradient Fill and use the gradient controls to set the colors and change the angle of the gradient.
To fill the symbol with an image, choose Image Fill and select the image you want. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.
To fill the symbol with a tinted image, choose Tinted Image Fill and select the image you want. Click the color well to the right of the Choose button to change the tint color. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.

Problem getting parameter values at the service end point

I am having problem getting parameter values at the service end point. I created service end point and this method is having 35 parameters and then i created test client file using Sun One Studio 5. but when i run this test client and make a call to service it sends wrong value to first three parameters to the service end point. I tried all the way round but it gave me same sort of problem. I change the order of parameters change the names of parameters but it didn�t work. And then i started chopping of parameter from the left side. And my problem is solved when my parameter list reached to 12 from 35. So is it a bug or some problem with my configuration or some thing else.
I am using sun one studio 5 with sun one app 7. My service end point does very simple thing. It only takes out put of the parameter to the server log file. And my wsdl file seems all right. There is no conflict with the count and data type of the parameter information it contains.

I just found that there is a bug with Sun One Studio 5. It creates faulty JSP file to test the client for the web services. With above problem I tested my web services using different developing environment such as Jdeveloper 10g. I created client stub using wsdl file generated by sun one studio. And made call to my web service and all the parameter reached perfectly at service end point. And then I used stub class created by sun one studio for the client and made the same call. And it also went well. So the problem is with the test application (JSP File) sun one creates for my web service.
This is the majore problem i faced during the development. But still there is many problem along with this which is not seriouse enough but requires attension. I would like sun developers to make sun one studio IDE simpler and handy .

Refresh Callable Object if changes are made to VC Start/End points

Looking for some guidance on how to refresh a callable object once I have already brought it into my application.
I have a VC application that I can use as a callable object during my GP process. During design time, I can select it and see the start and end points. I then can map those values and use them in the GP.
If I go back and change the VC application (make a change to the start or end point ... like a new variable or name change) how do I get my GP to recognize that there is a new version of the VC application? Currently I have had to delete the CO and rebuild it...Id rather the tool tell me the version has changed and that I need to remap/group my values.
Note that if I change anything between the start or end point in the VC application there is no problem, since all the GP cares about are those start/end points and how they relate to the rest of the process.

Hello Mike,
It´s a pitty but there is no way to "update" VC based callable objects in GP, (in webdynpro callable objects there is an "update" button that allows to do that) , but with Visual Composer Callable Objects the only way is to create a new one.
Regards,
Marco.

Set video start end points- trim

I brought a short .mov into my keynote and want to trim the start/stop points but the ability to do so is crude in keynote unless I'm missing something... All I can see is to move the start/stop points with the mouse in the inspector... but very crude movement if I want to catch a certain endpoint. Is there a better way? i.e. keyboard control of endpoints or such?

Hi Robert,
I don't think there is. I'd suggest taking the clip into iMovie (or Quicktime) and cropping it more finely that way.

How to remove the START/END marker ?

Hi. At the top of the arrange page , where the bars and beats are numbered , i have these Start and End markers , which i can move about but cant get rid of. Once the song hits the end point, recording stops. I can move this further away to increase recording time, but i how can i remove it completely?
Thanks
Faisal

Hey there,
i don't think you can remove the Song End position.
But you can extended it as you wish for it to stop at the song position you like.
You can do that by double clicking on the right bottom of the transport window where you can add manually the Song's End position or on the bar ruler just drag it to the bar psn you want it to be .
if you are running 7.2 you will find that under the tempo in the transport window.

Shortcut keys for the Start/End work area?

Hey guys,
Does anyone know if any shortcut keys exist for setting the Start and End points for the work area (i.e. grey bar with orange endpoints above timeline)? On a large timeline, I usually have to zoom all the way out, find it and then drag it to where I'm currently editing so I can render a small work area. If I could save some time by using shortcut keys, that'd be great!

I am using Windows 7. I have Favorites on my start menu but it links to IE favorites. Is it possible to change the link to point to my bookmarks?

I want to replace the IE favorites on the start menu to reflect my bookmarks instead. Is this possible?

Firefox and IE store their favorites/bookmarks in a totally different way, it is not possible for the start menu to show the Firefox bookmarks.
One possibly workaround is to sync IE favorites and Firefox bookmarks. The Xmarks program, which is free for use on desktops/laptops, can keep the favorites and bookmarks in sync, so any changes you make in one is reflected in the other. It is available from http://www.xmarks.com/

Keyboard shortcuts to get at the start/end of the line

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut in Numbers that will select the cell at the start of a line or its end, not only moving the screen. But there is no mention of such a shortcut in the user's guide. Did I miss something ?
Also, is there something similar for a column ?
Thanks

Hi TheMoose,
I've looked in Help > Keyboard Shortcuts, User guide, and the Numbers 291 page PDF file for those shortcut keys but cannot find them.
Let's hope someone smarter than I will jump in to assist you.
Sincerely,
RicD

Playing Quicktime with Multiple Start End Points

Hello
I posted a message a few days which I received help on
regarding starting and ending a Quicktime movie from various points
in the movie. Now I have a new problem which I cannot fix at all..
Here is the problem:
I have a Quicktime movie on stage and 10 various buttons that
contain a generic script which allows input of start and end points
for each button to trigger the movie. Initially just doing this
with one button is successful.
However, multiple buttons all with the same generic code make
the movie freeze up completely. My guess is that they are all
fighting each other for control. Maybe I need something in the code
which allows the button that is being used to play the movie to
keep control.
Here is the code I use for each button, the movie is on frame
15.
property pQT,pStart,pEnd,pFrame, pVolume
on beginSprite me
sprite(me.spriteNum).color=rgb (255,255,255)
cursor 0
if integer(pQT).ilk=#integer then pQT=integer(pQT)
end
on mouseUp me
sound(3).volume=sprite(15).volume
sprite(15).volume=pVolume
sprite(pQT).movieTime=pStart
sprite(pQT).movieRate=1
cursor 0
end
on mouseEnter me
sprite(me.spriteNum).color=rgb (173,24,41)
sprite(me.spriteNum).cursor=280
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(me.spriteNum).color=rgb(255,255,255)

end
on mouseDown me
sprite(me.spriteNum).cursor=290
end
on enterFrame me
if sprite(pQT).movieTime>=pEnd then
sprite(pQT).movieRate=0
end if
end
on getPropertyDescriptionList me
if not the currentSpriteNum then exit
vPDList=[:]

Transitions - setting start/end points for a Title

Hello,
just started using iMovie & I have 2 clips that I want to super a title over through the edit. Clip one fades to black, while clip 2 fades up from black. I would like to have a title appear as clip 1 is starting its fade, continue while clip 2 is fading up to full picture.
When I attempt this, the title starts where I place the play head at the end of clip 1, but clip 2 does not start until the title ends. The title ends up completely over black (NOT selected)... Is the program capable of this effect?
thanks
Josh

Hi Matt,
Glad to hear its a supported function. I have a hard cut between clip 1 & 2. The clips have fades out/in built in already & there is audio as well. I am trying to place the title over the fade out of clip 1 through the fade up in clip 2.
And you say "Over black" is not checked when you add
your title?
YES! over black is unchecked.
I did NOT use Edit>Split Video Clip at Playhead. however, after deleting the no-working effect... I see the clip was split.

Catching the start/end of component resizing?

Hi Folks,
I have a JPanel descendant and I want to store its initial size before being resized (by mouse), then at the end of resining, use this value to calculate the resizing factor.
componentAdapter.componentResized() works fine for Windows LAFs, as it is called just once (when the mouse is released). But, using other Look and feels, it is called several times during the resize process (it can be seen also that the panel is repainted continuously).
I tried to turn off repainting with setDynamicLayout(), but besides it did not worked at all, it looked ugly.
My question: is there a way to get an event for determining the beginning and the end of the resizing process using any LAFs?
Thanks,
-meri

Hello,
well, who's controlling the resize? You have a mouse
drag to do it? Then you can know on mouse press what
the size is...Yes, a mouse drag is used to resize a JDialog which contains my component. The problem with mouse press is if it's a resizing (grabbing the border of the dialog), then no other mouse events are fired on the component (either MousePressed).
or maintain the "current size" in a variable and
compare that to the componentResized call and after
done, reset the "current size" to the new size.Fine, I could do it (already done), but for special reasons, it would be much more better to calculate further sizes of the very first (initial) one.
Thanks anyway! I will keep on searching for some solution...
