Is there a video generator for lines?

I'm still drawing circles, squares, and lines to overlay on my videos. Some time ago when I needed to make circles and squares, but didn't know how, someone here (Piero I think) told me about a great plug-in generator called Frames for just that purpose, which I installed in FCE and now use a lot (I forget the author of that wonderful program, but it appears under Video Generators > pf > Frames).
Well, now I'd like an easier way to draw lines on my videos than creating mattes and cropping them down to a sliver, or creating them in Photoshop on transparent backgrounds and then importing them into FCE as .psd files. Those methods are slow and tedious.
What I'd really like is a line generator on the order of that great pf plug-in for creating frames, only this one would be for lines. And ideally it would be able to create control points on a generated line so that you could curve and bend the line into various shapes, for example to match the twists and turns of a road on a map, or to make arcs and S-shapes. And it should have arrowheads available to put on the ends for pointing at things: arrows.
Does anyone know of any such line generator available anywhere for Final Cut Express?

That arrow generator is really nice, Ian, thanks much. That solves one of my problems; I was making arrows in Photoshop and importing them, which was tedious. But now with this generator I can quickly make any size or length arrow easily, right inside FCE. I notice that the size of the arrow after rendering is slightly smaller and thinner than it appears pre-rendered, but once you get used to that, and compensate for it a little in your design, you can make arrows of just the right size needed. Very nice!
Now if there were only a generator for curved, bent, or squiggly lines, able to be shaped as desired, for example to create a line to match the shape of a road as seen on a map, or an aerial photograph, I'd be all fixed. I don't suppose any such generator exists yet, though, so I'm still stuck with Photoshop for that, for now.

  • Is there a video converter for the N97 in the Ovi ...

    Yea, so is there any video converting software for the n97?? by Ovi Suite?
    n97.

    The answer to your question is no, there is one in PC Suite, which is very simple to use. But I use QuickMedia Converter, and there are 100's of similar conversion programmes on the web, all you need to do is convert video into MP4 and drag and drop to E.
    Good Luck

    More and more downloadable movies are split and need to be joined back together to be viewed. I've searched the web over and can't find a Mac program to do this. I'm speaking of files that end in consecutive numbers like .001, .002, etc. Is there something along the line of Hjsplit for Mac?

  • In mail, is there a master setting for line spacing when replying?

    When replying to an email, the spacing is very compressed, the reply is only one line above the original message.  Is there a way to tell mail that for all replys, it should increase the line spacing between the reply and the original message?  Thanks.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Video tutorials for completel LR newbies?

    A few years back I had been using CS5, (but not very well), and also an application by Nikon called Capture NX2. I got semi proficient with NX2 and like the results I got with that. As time went on I slowly moved on from my photography hobby, (still have all my gear though).
    Just recently I've got the photo bug again and I really enjoy editing the shots I take. I've never used LR before so I was wondering if there are video tutorials for the absolute basics?

    With your first xml you can print like

    72000, Sample, 01-Feb-2010
    73000, Sample, 01-March-2010While creating the RTF template you can use the Group by option.
    <?for-each-group:ROW;./columnname> then print the column name
    <?columnname?>
    --Then your table format

  • How to change default settings for a video generator?

    I'm using a video generator (Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro) many times in the same project, and have to change the default settings for each new instance of the generator that I create. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default settings for a generator (i.e., length of clip, individual slider and checkbox settings in the "controls" tab) so that each new instance automatically has my customized settings when I first open it.
    Thanks.

    That works for the all the controls/filter settings. The clip length still defaults to 10 seconds, but that's OK, since the main thing I was looking for was to change the clip's internal settings. Thanks for your help

  • Schedule Lines generated for expired Scheduling agreements

    Hi All,
    We are facing problems in Scheduling agreements.
    Schedule lines are getting generated for those agreements whose validity has expired(i.e Validity in Past).
    Is there any check to restrict those Scheduling Agreements??
    Please Help.
    Regards,
    Ritesh.

    from OSS note 914607 - FAQ: Validity and status of scheduling agreements
    1. Question: When I process scheduling agreements without delivery schedules, I have the option to specify the validity of the scheduling agreement: "Valid" and "Valid to". What role does the validity play when the scheduling agreement is processed?
    Response: In the case of scheduling agreements without delivery schedules, the system checks the validity of the scheduling agreement if you create a new schedule line or change an existing schedule line. If the schedule line date is outside the validity interval, a warning message is issued. You can then decide whether or not to create the schedule line or whether to adjust the validity of the scheduling agreement. No error message is issued.
    2. Question: What role does the validity play in the case of scheduling agreements with delivery schedules?
    Response: The function is similar to scheduling agreements without delivery schedules. The only difference is that the entry of the validity is optional (unlike scheduling agreements without releases) and this is not checked by the system. If the validity is missing, the system does note issue a warning message. If you specify the validity, the system behaves in the same way as for scheduling agreements without releases.

  • Need urgent help to generate SPL Data Sources for Line Items

    Hi All,
    I am trying to extract the Special Purpose Ledger Data from R/3 into BW. To do this, I am following the steps to generate the Data Sources for Totals table and Lien Items Table.
    Using Transaction BW01 and BW03 on the R/3 side, I am able to generate the Totals Record-DataSource   successfully.
    But I am not able to generate the Line Items-DataSource. I am using the same procedure.
    Can someone please help me or point me in the right direction. Are there any other settings I need to make to generate the Line Items-DataSource. Interestingly, I am able to generate the Line Items-DataSource  for some other old ledgers in the System like ZZ and ZX. But I need the Line Items-DataSource  from a ledger called ZP for which I am having trouble.
    I would greatly appreciate if someone can get back to me ASAP.

    During BW01, The Generate extract structure is fine for both Total and Line Item Table.The issue is when we run tcode bw03 where you assign the datasource to a ledger.
    Here, I can assign only for the Total Records data source and NOT for the Line Items-DataSource.
    I hope I could explain the issue. Looking forward for some advice.
