Is it possible to use an effects 'Reset' or 'Clear' mode in an expression?

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me with this.
I'm using 'CC Time Blend FX' in a project I'm working on. Am using it in multiple pre comps, and before rendering I need to go into each pre comp and push the 'Clear' button at 00:00 to clear any images that have been cached in the timeline.
Have been trying to figure out a way to have a controller/null in the master comp with the 'Clear' button in it, so I just need to push it once before rendering (instead of going into each pre comp).
Is this possible?

With expressions you for sure can't.
Even with a script i doubt it is possible: scripts can't simulate a button click on anything else than their own interface.
Even reset a property or property group is not possible unfortunately.

  • Is it possible to use adobe formsCentral in a offline mode?

    the case is as following:
    during an expositon we want to use adobe forms central. the problem is that sometimes we will loose our internet connection.
    Question:
    a) Can we use the forms in an offline mode?
    b) Is there any possiblity to store a filled out form and send all the filled out forms altogether in a later phase?
    thanks for some useful ideas
    best regards
    offline

    Hi,
    If you are using FormsCentral Web form then, no.  You could use a FormsCentral PDF form; however, you will have to save each PDF form that people fill out locally (with a different filename) and then when you are online open each form and submit the responses.
          How to create and distribute a FormsCentral PDFform: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2655
    Please try out the Formscentral PDF Form and see if it works for you.

  • Is it possible to use wi-fi networks without NWAM in Solaris 11 Express?

    Hello,
    I have disabled NWAM in Solaris 11 Express and now I'm trying to set up a wi-fi connection with dladm and ipadm only.
    I reached a point where all seems well configured and I can even ping my on dhcp leased address.
    But I can't ping the default gateway, for example.
    I get something such as "Network unreachable".
    This is in spite of "netstat -rn" shows a reasonable route.
    Thanks in advance,
    Carlos.

    When I have it disabled I'm not being able to ping other addresses but my own.
    I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if nwam is doing something else under the hood when it's enabled.
    Regards,

  • Using a Dlink router in bridged mode with Airport Express

    I have a broadban connectiond via a Zyxel P-660 wifi modem + router.  I have connected the Airport Express to this modem via ethernet and set up a wifi network. The wifi on the Zyxel has been turned off.
    Since the wifi signal is weak in the other rooms, I am planning to link up a Dlink DIR-600 router running on the DD-WRT firmware on the bridged mode with the AE.
    What settings do I need to have on the Dlink ?

    I am planning to link up a Dlink DIR-600 router running on the DD-WRT firmware on the bridged mode with the AE.
    If you are planning to have the Dlink device pickup the wireless signal from the AirPort Express and then "repeat" that signal, it is extremely unlikely that this will work.
    Apple uses proprietary settings for their "extend" feature, which will only work with other Apple routers. It is....as far as we know....not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
    What settings do I need to have on the Dlink ?
    All you can do is try to follow Dlink's instructions to setup the device as a "repeater" or "relay". The DD-WRT Forum might provide some tips. As you might imagine, there will not be much chance of a Dlink user ever seeing your post on an Apple forum.
    DD-WRT Forum :: View topic - D-link DIR-600
    There are no settings on the AirPort Express to adjust for this other than the obvious setting to check the box next to "Allow this network to be extended" on the Wireless settings page.
    Good luck  

  • Use OAGL in Production to clear posted depreciation

    Is it possible to use OAGL in production to clear all posted depreciation?
    If No, can anyone tell me why?
    Thank you.

    My client had asset revaluation (reduction in asset value) in Dec. 2009. Because of lack of resource at that time, they carried out this revaluation in strange way.
    They didnu2019t use standard SAP transaction for revaluation but created two Depreciation and Accumulated depreciation (Non Reconciliation) accounts and adjusted P&L by passing manual adjustment entries for Assets.  They kept passing manual entries for following months.
    Now they want to get rid of those accounts they created and manual entries they posted. Also want to carry out revaluation with standard transaction in Dec.09 by opening books.
    To do that, I need to reverse the posted depreciation for Jan and Feb. and post revaluation. After that I need to carry out correct depreciation for Jan and Feb.
    Here is my action plan.
    1.Use OAGL to clear posted depreciation.
    2. Then Turn off Reconciliation flags and adjust GL account balance manually.
    3. Put Reconciliation flags on and carry out normal depreciation for months before Dec 09.
    4. Post revaluation entry and carry out depreciation for DEC, JAN and FEB.
    This has solved my problem in test system, as Client is interested in overall P&L from the audit point. By this way I see that my FI and AA also reconciles.
    I donu2019t see any solution other than OAGL.
    Please let me know if any transaction available to deal with this situation. Your valuable inputs are appreciated.
    Thank you.

    As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
    note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
    Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
    Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
    note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

    Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
    The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
    "Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
    With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
    Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
    And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
    Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • How can I use After Effects filters on a whole sequence without getting stuck in After Effects?

    It appears that, with the options that are visible to the user, Dynamic Link only goes one-way and can't make round trips from Premiere Pro to After Effects and back again.  If I send a sequence to After Effects, that part works fine and I can do what I want and save the comp.  However, even though the comp appears as an asset in Premiere Pro, I am not allowed to do anything with it.  If I try to drag it to a new sequence, it just says no.  If I click "Create Sequence from Clip" it creates an empty sequence.
    So how can I use After Effects on whole sequences/tracks instead of just on a clip-by-clip-by-clip-by-clip-by-clip basis?  is this possible?  For instance, if I have a whole sequence where I've neutralized the white balance, I might want to apply a warming filter to the whole thing as a unit.  That would be really painful with even a few clips to keep doing that again and again, and if you want to modify it slightly you have to do it over and over.  If there is a way to do that through Dynamic Link through some hidden option, what happens with the audio?  Would I have to cut it out of the lower sequence and paste it into the higher sequence with the After Effects comp as a video track?

    I'm not an Adoby guy, hence you may ignore my reply, but Adobe Dynamic Link is obviously not just one way ticket and in most cases works just fine.
    You have already been explained by J-MS and tclark513 how to properly use it and which pitfalls may occur.
    So as to apply an effect onto a whole sequence or a group of clips you need to either nest them in PrPro or pre-compose them in AE. Then just apply an effect (or several ones) onto that composition.
    So, if you nest clips in PrPro, select your nested sequence in the timeline, right-click and choose 'Replace with After Effects Composition'. Done! Your dynamically linked AE composition is in the right place in your timeline and in your Project panel as well. If you can not treat it as an ordinary footage, there are obviously some mistakes in your workflow. 
    If you didn't nest your sequence or a group of clips in PrPro before replacing them with AE composition, you may easily do it within AE. Just select all the layers in AE composition and choose Layer -> Pre-compose... (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+C) Done! Switch back to your Master comp and apply your desired effect(s) 
    You may loose some effects or/and transitions while travelling from PrPro to AE via Adobe Dynamic Link, whereas you don't while travelling back
    (If you start building your AE composition from scratch right in AE and then need to import it into PrPro, DO NOT export one as PrPro project out of AE, but rather choose Adobe Dynamic Link -> Import After Effects Composition... within PrPro)
    P.S. And yes, submit a feature-request so that Adobe will convert 'Transparent Video' into fully functional 'Adjustment Layer'.

  • Is it possible to use the iPhone as a modem and pick up the internet ?

    I wondered if it was possible to use the airport facility on an iMac G5 to pick up the internet from an iPhone placed near by ? THis would effectively make the iPhone a wireless modem ?
    I've not got an iPhone yet and this would be really useful.
    Thanks in advance.

    The iPhone does not currently support tethering. There was an app that did that, but it was pulled from the App Store after only a few hours of availability, and all such apps have apparently been banned.

    You haven't given us much to go on here.  What exactly are you doing and what exactly happens when you try?  Which specific version of each program are you using?  (Go to Help>About...)
    On a side note, a simple, brief thread title is all that's needed.  Something like "After Effects Issue" would be fine.  You don't need the full question there.

  • Is it possible to use a progress bar in Photoshop?

    Hi,
    I'm developing an automation plug-in to Photoshop. It take long time to do the work, I therefore want to start a none modal dialog with a progress bar and a cancel button. I did not find any example of this in the SDK. Is it possible to use any of the functions in the PIProgressSuite.h for this kind of dialog?
    Regards,
    Mattias

    I don't think you will have much luck with the progress suite. It is used for one operation that your plug-in would control. You are probably using multiple Photoshop events and want to sum them up in a progress bar. Ideally you would want a double progress bar, one for the overall progress and one for the step progress. Unfortunately, the progress suite will get reset with each process that Photoshop tries to show progress for. Your best bet is to just use an OS progress bar in your dialog. Figuring out the progress will be dificult.

  • Is it possible to use a masked layer to mask another layer?

    Hi there,
    I'm relatively new to Fireworks after coming from an Illustrator background
    I've just started playing with the masking features of Fireworks and wanted to know if it was possible to use a layer that already has a mask applied as a further mask on another layer.
    Basically, I have a rounded rectangle that I am using as a canvas to hold a series of vector circles. Circles that fall outside the rectangle are naturally clipped due to the mask.
    I then want to use these clipped circles as a mask for a series of photos that also lie within the rounded rectangle.
    I suppose I could simply cut up the circles to ensure that they are within the rectangle, but this would not allow me to resize them in future should I want to alter the design.
    In Illustrator I could use a clipping mask to achieve the required effect, which would basically clip all the layers beneath, but in Fireworks I'm not sure what to do.
    Any ideas or different approaches would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Tim

    Between the ability to select thumbnails in the Layers panel, and occasional use of Select > Subselect, you've actually got pretty good options for editing a simple mask. Once you start nesting them, though, you'll probably have to ungroup.
    The cool thing is, you've got options for nesting masks and working non-destructively. And grouping and ungrouping isn't a big deal, particularly if you remember the shortcuts for it (Command-G and Shift-Command-G). On the other hand, it might be nicer if Fireworks offered the ability to "unfurl" a group or a mask via an arrow, while still seeing the full effect of the mask.
    I just tried out my earlier symbol suggestion and realized that while one can apply a mask to a symbol instance, it may not be possible to apply a symbol instance as a mask, which is a bit surprising. (At least, that option seemed to be greyed-out in CS6.) So my earlier idea may just be purely theoretical.

  • Is it possible to delete an Effect sitting on the same effect plugin c++ code?

    Hello,
    Let me explain My problem.
    I have developing an Effect plugin, "MyEffect" .
    This effect has one UI + defualt "About" and "Reset" buttons + one "Remove " ( Which is a "Options..." ) button.
    The "Remove" button functionality is: When I click on "Remove" button, the "MyEffect" effect should remove from the Layer/Composion.
    The plugin EntryPoint function is called with a command "PF_Cmd_DO_DIALOG" clicking on "Remove" button. Here I want to remove this "MyEffect" effect from Layer/Comp.
    So, My question is, Is it possible to delete/remove an effect sitting on the same effect plugin c++ code?
    Hope, you understand the problem!.

    Hi Shachar,
    Thanks for your reply!
    >>     that separate AEGP of ours?
    Not getting the above line in your prevoius msg.
    Actually My question is, "Is it possible to delete an Effect sitting on the same effect plugin c++ code?", wrong.
    What exactly I want is...
    I'm developing an effect plugin, that execute 2 scripts.
    -     one script is for applying an effect ( we are discussing this issue in onother thraed, you already knew it. )     and
    -     other script is for removing an effect
    When I click on "Remove" button, the second script should executes and it removes the applied effect from the Layer/Comp.
    I'm just guessing that, 3 plugins are required to solve this problem.
    Plugin1:  Create UI + call plugin2 + call plugin3
    Plugin2:  Execute the script1 ( i.e., apply the effect )
    Plugin3:  Execute the script2 ( i.e., remove the effect )
    am I correct?

  • Is it possible to recreate this effect on FCP or Motion?

    Hi there, I'm attempting to recreate this multi luma key effect on FCP but it is proving diffucult? Are there any methods for this to work on either FCP or Motion?
    Thanks in advance,
    http://youtu.be/Gctf0n8b3F4?t=13s

    Yeah - it's possible, but not without some trickery.
    First download and install this:
    http://sight-creations.com/fxexchange/LumaFill.zip
    if you need installation instructions, go here: http://sight-creations.com/install4fcpx/  (this is an Effect).
    You need greenscreen media. Apply the Keyer to the greenscreen footage. After the Keyer, apply Luma Fill. Select the Drop Zone source well and click on the clip you want to place inside the "person" (or whatever's left of the green screen). (The drop zone source can be from the event browser OR from the storyline [or connected clip -- and you can "hide" clips underneath the storyline.])
    Place a generator or another clip (or clips) beneath the clip to serve as a background.
    Adjust the Luma Fill with the Levels control -- drag the White Point down towards the black to "open it up". Or adjust the gamma (grey/middle control) upwards to create a mix (and try some of the other parameter controls as well.)
    [this greenscreen footage also has tracking marks... ]
    You can also use this effect (without a keyer) on "plain" (non-greenscreen) media and with or without drop zone media -- it's a cool way to add a mix of Black & White over whatever you place the clip. [Add drop zone media for a 3-way mix.]
    [stockfootage from BottledVideo.com and HollywoodCameraWork.us (greenscreen media)]
    PS - if FCPX "freaks" a little (doesn't show the effects in the video pane) simply select the transform icon under the left corner of the view, then click the Done button (that's all you need to do -- the effects should reappear in the Video inspector.) I didn't notice any adverse effects beyond that.

  • Is it possible to use e.getsource with a switch statement?

    Is it possible to use e.getsource for a switch statement? I keep getting an error, which I understand. I'm just not sure if it can be done by using another method or casting e.getsource to something. Any ideas? Thanks!
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
              switch(e.getSource())
                   //buttons 0 - 6
                   case buttons[0]:
                        Master_Clock.tickPos();
                        break;
                   case buttons[1]:
                        Master_Clock.tockPos();
                        break;
                   case buttons[2]:
                        Master_Clock.reset();

                   case buttons[5]:
                        Master_Clock.dayPos();
                        break;
            }

    Using the same actionPerformed method for all the buttons is an obsolete technique.
    Use a seperate object implementing ActionListener with each button.
    There's a lot to be said for using Action objects, which you can also connect to key presses menu items and so on.
    Typically you create objects using the anonymous class technique. You'd do something like:
    Action tickAction = new AbstractAction("Tick") { // create anonymous action
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          MasterClock.tickPos();
    JButton tickButton = new JButton(tickAction);
