Is there a way to autoscroll the timeline?

Whenever the playhead reaches the right hand side of the timeline, the only way to keep it on screen is to manually drag the timeline to the left. I find this very annoying. Am I missing something here? Alternatively can I keep the playhead stationary and move the timeline under it?

I use a logitech mouse with a mouse wheel that responds to "wheel tilt" left or right. When I bump the wheel, the timeline scrolls if the mouse cursor is over the timeline (even if FCPX is not the "active" application!) It's a little tricky with actual playback keeping the playhead in view, but you get a feel for it after awhile and I'm not trying to click-drag-follow.
If you hold down the shift key and the right or left arrow keys, the timeline will autoscroll, but it's not actually playing, just skipping frames 10 at a time. It's a good way to "scan" through if you're looking for something specific.
J,K, and L work pretty well too, if you're not all that concerned with focusing on the timeline. The playhead always comes back into view when Play, FF, or Rewind stop.

Is there a way to collapse the timeline?

I've been doing a lot of grading in DaVinci Resolve lately, and I really love the way it allows you to collapse the timeline and show only the monitor and your grading controls. Is there any way to do this in Speedgrade?
It's kind of silly that you can resize the grading area at the expense of monitor real-estate, but you can't get rid of the timeline!!! I don't want to see the seven layers of video that I have. I want to see what I'm working on!!!

I've also "skipped over" and put in a request for a curves control. I want that as THE MOST IMPORTANT CHANGE TO SPEEDGRADE for me ... and yes, I'm shouting alright!
When I first started working in Sg, I thought those wheels were RAD-COOL-MARVY! Even went right out and got a good trackball so I can use the spinning wheel to do the luminosity and the ball for color changes. Yea, this was awesome!
But then ... saw a few tutorials where the teach was using programs with curves options ... and um ... tried that within AE.
Cool as the wheels are, working with a good-sized curve, one gets an amazing visual-feedback loop on what you're doing, and ... what you do, does. In fact, I was able to start predicting what any change I'd do would make, far above the ability I yet have working the wheels. There are times I've taken things to AE to do the color grade, simply because it was difficult footage and I'd do it better and faster using the curves controls. Even given the um ... less than perfect? ... application of scopes in AE.
Now, back to the original topic ... yea, I think I'd better put in a request for a way to show/hide the timeline also ... much of the time, I don't have TIME to worry about the timeline! (yea, quoting Ms. Troi there). Having a larger monitor would be fantastic ... and no, I don't have the dollar bills sitting around right now to just go out and buy a nice 24" or better high-end monitor ... oh, yea, and a few hundred more for the nifty Nvidia graphics card Adobe insists we buy to do it with also ... sigh ...

Is there a way to autoscroll the current accordion content to top of browser window?

So this is a topic I have seen brought up but never solved….
I have an accordion on my site which displays content larger than the browser window, so when you scroll down to the bottom of the content box and get to the next accordion topic and click on it stays in the same place in the broswer window however since the prior accordion content closes it leaves you scrolled half way down on the current content.
So is there a way to bind an action where it autoscrolls and brings the browser to the top of the clicked accordion content?
here you see the window scrolled to the bottom of the first accordion content and the second showing its hover state…. when you click on the "So i made.." content it leaves you with this...
the middle of the second accordion content, causing you to have to scroll up to the top of it to continue reading….
I found this jquery scrpit which supposedly would do it. However since Muse exports is scripts differently it doesnt apply.
$('.ui-accordion').bind('accordionchange', function(event, ui) {
            ui.newHeader // jQuery object, activated header
            ui.oldHeader // jQuery object, previous header
            ui.newContent // jQuery object, activated content
            ui.oldContent // jQuery object, previous content
            $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $(ui.newHeader).offset().top}, 1);
So now I need some help...
Thx
-Eric

Hello,
You can achieve this using the Anchors feature of Muse. Please follow the steps below :
- Click on Anchor option in the toolbar as shown in the image :
- Now click on the location on the webpage which you want to be the top of the page when click on Accordian panel triggers.
- It will place the Anchor on that location. Now it will ask you to rename the anchor. Please rename the anchor to something convenient.
- Now click on the first Accordian trigger and in the "Hyperlink" option in the toolbar at the top, from the dropdown select the Anchor which you have added.
- Do same for all the Accordian triggers.
Now preview in a browser to see the results. Whenever you click on the Accordian trigger it will move to the location on the page where you have placed the anchor.
Note : There is a known issue with the Anchors feature not working with Safari 6 (The latest version of Safari). It is a known bug and is likely to get fixed in future versions. You can test it using other Browsers.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to expand the number of layers shown in a timeline?

Hi,
Right now it seems I can only get two layers to show in the timeline at any given time. I don't see any way to resize the timeline so that when applying more grading layers, I can see all the layers at once without having to scroll the timeline view. Is there a keyboard short-cut I'm missing, or some widget on-screen that can let me do this?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Patrick,
I'm working on a 30" monitor, so it's effectively 2560x1600. It only seems to be showing 2 tracks at a time, unless there is a preference or setting I'm missing that I can't seem to find in the documentation. Here is a screenshot:
I don't see any areas for expanding the timeline. I can scroll vertically in the timeline, but I can't seem to actually get a larger static vertical area for showing more tracks at once. The only vertical resizing widget is to expand the bottom or top panels, not the timeline.
Thanks,
Jason

Is there a way of making the Edge Commons parallax effect work smoothly with DPS on the iPad?

I want to create a feature for an iPad magazine utilising the parallax effect shown here...
Parallax Scrolling Made Easy (Adobe Edge Animate Online Week, Episode 9) - YouTube
I am using Digital Publishing Suite to publish to an iPad. I ran a test and the effect partially works, but not smoothly.
As you scroll down the animation does not play. Once you finish scrolling the animation then jumps to whichever point has been reached on the timeline, rather than animating as you scroll down the page.
Is there a way to get the same animation effect through DPS that you see in the browser? Or is it not compatible?
Thanks!

As lllaass said, you can't.
If you want Apple to add backgrounds to the iPad version, leave them feedback: http://apple.com/feedback/ipad.html.

Is there a way to access the "Creative Cloud Clipboard" repository outside Adobe Line/Sketch Apps?

Is there a way to access the "Creative Cloud Clipboard" repository outside Adobe Line/Sketch Apps?
For instance via (macbookpro) web, local directory (CC desktop), or mobile web? As opposed to Utilizing the feature purely in Adobe line/sketch?
I mean... I know i could just take screen shots... via the iPad's protocol. However, that would defeat the purpose of creative cloud.
The point of accessing the creative cloud clipboard, is so that I can create Time-Lapse .GIF's of my drawings, Using the "timeline" feature (undo)....which is amazing feature btw.
Honestly the solution for me... would be to have an option to export a .GIF (animated), .tiff sequence, or video file (m4a mov). I would say export options would be 1. File Size & Type (Context...) 2. Detail, # of Slides (How long is your timeline, what do you want to show, what level of detail?) 3. Share (Behance, Creative Cloud Files, MMS, iMessage, etc... 4. Open in... Photoshop, Aftereffects etc...
I think this would be great for..tutorials, multi-media, prototyping (wireframes, character design, etc). So, i'm not saying this should be a heavy set...focal point of the application, after all an animation app all itself would be nice. However, I think a feature like an "interactive timeline" would push users to be even more creative, by hacking, creating ghetto rigged *** backwards ways of prototyping that...actually might be more convenient. This is the story Adobe is trying to tell, the story of process, whats in your head... in the moment. Thats why behance is integrated, because process & feedback + exposure are essential to developing as a creative, so Adobe has put together a great platform...for its users. So, yeah...Adobe.. here's your chance to gain a greater insight into creative process, and integrate it directly into the creative cloud platform. I think it would be huge for Ink & Slide , Behance, and Student-Teacher / Designer- Company relationship.
"Share | Project Timeline " "Intervals | # of images" "Crop | Length (time)" "Crop | Project Area (artboard?)"
Yeah this question took a left turn...but hey.... either or.
EDITS............
***You can copy images to creative cloud files....via the share function in ADOBE SKETCH... thats how I made the .gifs im going to attach.***
***However, in ADOBE LINE, if you try to copy multiple images of the same project, they do not receive unique filenames, thus replacing all images in the saved sequence****

First, to answer your initial question - no there is no way to access the clipboard content outside of the apps at this time.
The idea of exporting a timelapse is very interesting, and something we have been thinking about, but there are already some decent ways to do this. Check out this video of a drawing in Line created by Brian Yap Adobe Ink and Adobe Line Illustration - YouTube
You can create this kind of video using several of the available apps that let you display your iPad screen on your computer using Airple. Some examples are Reflector http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/ and AirServer http://www.airserver.com/

Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once?

Hi all,
I'm working with good old Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once? If I have a large group of clips in my timeline that are all the same duration, once I've selected them all in a group, can I somehow change the frame number duration of all the clips at the same time?
I've found other things that can be done to a group of clips at the same time, but I can't find a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips.
Thanks,
digi

Thanks Jim and Bill,
In my efforts to work around the problems with the distortion and horizontal interlace lines that come when using the Motion Settings, I'm doing stop frame animation with hundreds and hundreds of layers in PSDs in multiple files placed in hundreds of one, four and six frame sections in Premiere, so if I find that I need to change the number of frames per clip in hundreds of consecutive clips (not actual duration of speed changes), then I need to pull out the right side of hundreds of frames after first moving them apart enough to allow for changing them if I'm making them longer.
These animations are different from the rotating reel animations in that they are for laterally moving subjects that are long streams of moving graphics and photos.
I read about "clip nesting", but I think that only applies to clips or groups of clips that are the same, whereas my clips are each from different imported layers times 125 or so, consecutively placed one after another to create the laterally moving stop frame animation.
Now I've tried johnbmx4christ's alternate method of creating rotations that was just posted on the other thread about the rotation distortion, but that method results in the same oblong distortion and messed up looking horizontal interlace lines.
What a can of worms.
Thanks,
digi

Is there a way to detect the end of a video?

Is there a way to detect the end of a video.. .mp4 or youtube? I want to be able to detect the end of a video and then have it do something...ie play on timeline or go to and play symbol.

For youtube the code would be something like this:
view-source:calkaweb.herobo.com/video.html
for HTML5 videos for youtube replace &version=3 with &html5=1 in the youtube URL
I have no idea how to impletent the youtube code into Edge tho other than an iframe but that wouldn't work I've tried :
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1285212
You would need to place all of the youtube codes into edge in order for it to work but I duno how to do that and no1 answered the question in the thread I made about it.
as for MP4/HTML5 video you can use
var video = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
video.onended = function(e) {
/*Do Something*/

Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?

Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this? I have been using PS touch for iPad for a few years and ALWAYS end up with a message that I have reached the maximum allowable number of layers. not to mention of course a simple tool for drawing straight lines which is a must. I may be missing something. I would have imagined that a respectable company like Adobe would have added over the years a small upgrade to solve these issues.
thanks.

Is there a way to dock the object toolbar to the top menu bar?

I am trying to get as much screen real estate as I can. Is there a way to dock the object toolbar to the top dock areabar? Ideally i would like to place it under the main options bar.
I have tried everything I can think of to do this. It seems like I am missing something easy to make this happen.
Along the same lines it would be great if you could place the timeline across the entire bottom of the Captivate window with any of your other docks above it. I don't need that much room for the other dock, but a wider timeline bar would be fantabulous. Docking the timweline to the top would work as well.
Thanks
David

Do you want the workspace to look in this way? :
You just need to drag the object toolbar, towards right and move that near to the toolbar.
Same goes for Timeline and other Pods.
I used classic workspace and just dragged and moved the pods to the desired positions, you can save that workspace after making changes.
Thanks.

Is there any way to show the file name super imposed on the slides?

Is there any way to show the file name super imposed on the slides in Premiere Elements 9?
I am setting up pictures as slide show along with some movie clips but wanted the desctiptive file names appearing with each picture.
Thanks!

Yes. In Timeline mode, you add it to an upper video track as a title.
I show you the basics of titles in the Basic Training tutorials at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com.

I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar. When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year. The photo calendar is almost complete. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

Dear Apple Community,
Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
Thanks for your help!
Jeremy Reid

Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
The charging characteristics are handled in firmware. There is no app that would be able to do this. You actually would not want to do this anyway. Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery. While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine. Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery). It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently". It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop. It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.
