Is there a way to make the Markers panel work better with the Source panel?

My workflow is to first cut a multi-cam project (but it could be any long clip), then watch it all over again to make notes about what to keep and what to kick. So after I'm done cutting the initial rough cut of the entire hour or two of footage, I'll set focus to the Markers panel and begin watching the entire clip from the beginning to make notes as markers within the clip.
I'll play the clip back in the Source monitor and when something interesting happens, I'll type "M" on the keyboard. This places a marker in the clip (or multi-cam clip in my case). Without stopping the clip, I'll pick up my mouse and tap the Markers tab in the notes section for the last marker laid down. I'll type a note (something like "S" for interesting "Shot" or "HUGS" or "DANCING" to indicate the main action occuring at this point in the clip, or "Mike: Are we there, yet?" for a key dialog point). Next, I'll move my mouse back to the Source panel (the video has not stopped this entire time) and give any gray area of the Source panel a tap just to activate it. I'll watch for the next point of interest and repeat the process. M to mark. Move to the Markers panel. Tap the last marker. Type some notes. Move back to the Source panel and tap to give the panel focus. This works fairly well, but could be tuned, with just a few options, to make it more streamlined for this type of use.
What I'd like to be able to do is never leave the keyboard AND use minimal keyboard shortcuts. A perfect workflow might be:
1. Start playing the clip in the Source panel.
2. Type "M" to drop a marker. Focus would AUTOMATICALLY move to the notes section of that marker within the Markers panel, while the video continues to play on in the Source panel.
3. I type my notes into the Markers panel and hit Enter, or CTRL+Enter, which returns focus to the Source panel.
This would allow me to quickly build a list of markers and notes about a clip or sequence without ever stopping and without once touching my mouse (unless I get behind and need to backup). Currently, the only time I really get behind is when clicking on a window and not realizing that focus was not given to that window, so that when I hit "M" again, for example, I don't actually create a new marker, but rather add the letter "M" to my most recent Marker note.
All of this seems a very common task for anyone who works in reality TV, or even event videography. Who's with me? Can this be done already? If not, I'll submit a feature request. How would you make this feature better?

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Is there a way to make keyboard text shortcuts work better?

For example: omw = On my way!
On iOS these work accross the board, but on OS X they only seem to work on certain applications. Such as TextEdit, but have limited or no use in other applications. They work ok in the URL bar in Safari, but try to use them in a text field (such as the one I'm typing in now) and they don't work. It's especially irritating when I try to log into a website, and I can't use my custom shortcut for my email address. I can easily do this on iOS, but not OS X.
Is there any way I can get text shortcuts to behave better on OS X, or is this a hopeless dream...
If you don't know how to access them, it's:
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text (OS X)
General -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts (iOS)
It's great that they sync accross both platforms, but it's pointless if I can't use them on properly on OS X.

Is there a way to make iPhone speak what is displayed on the screen, with a simple click?

is there a way to make iPhone speak what is displayed on the screen, with a simple click? Instead of going through the Accessibility and VoiceOver feature. This will be very useful if I am driving, or tired of reading from the screen, or watching other stuff ... thanks

No.
What is available via Accessibility settings is it.

Is there a way to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool...

Is there a way to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool
that will install successfully into the personal store in IE?

hi,
It is possible to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool and i am successfully using in my dummy application.
The first thing you need to do is create a keystore and generate the key pair. You could use a command such as the following:
keytool -genkey -dname "cn=Mark Jones, ou=JavaSoft, o=Sun, c=US"
-alias business -keypass kpi135 -keystore C:\working\mykeystore
-storepass ab987c -validity 180
(Please note: This must be typed as a single line. Multiple lines are used in the examples just for legibility purposes.)
This command creates the keystore named "mykeystore" in the "working" directory on the C drive (assuming it doesn't already exist), and assigns it the password "ab987c". It generates a public/private key pair for the entity whose "distinguished name" has a common name of "Mark Jones", organizational unit of "JavaSoft", organization of "Sun" and two-letter country code of "US". It uses the default "DSA" key generation algorithm to create the keys, both 1024 bits long.
It creates a self-signed certificate (using the default "SHA1withDSA" signature algorithm) that includes the public key and the distinguished name information. This certificate will be valid for 180 days, and is associated with the private key in a keystore entry referred to by the alias "business". The private key is assigned the password "kpi135".
Also please go through the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html
This would help u better.

Arun

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
to Rick:
I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
- Working Space: None
- Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
to both of you:
Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
So, would you have any solution for this problem?
Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

Is there a way for people to sign into a forum with the same email they used elsewhere on the site?

Right now, our site has to have a separate login for the forum that was built using the forum module. This poses a problem since users who sign up through other web forms that do not have username or password fields may try to sign in to the forum and then try to reset a password that does not exist. It also poses a problem in that people who are already in the CRM because they signed up using other web forms cannot use the same email address they used to sign up to register for the forum.
We have also had the same problem with secure zones in that people who have already gone through a web form and have their name and email address in the CRM have issues signing in to the secure zone.
So, I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this so that people can sign up using the same email address.
Thank you for your assistance!

lost mode don't depend of the sim card. If you take your Iphone on Lost mode... anybody can use it with the original card sim or with an other one.
Did you try to localise it ?
But hope that thief don't make a restore of the Iphone... Call your Mobile Operator to try to block the IMEI Number.

Is There any way to make a JVC GZ-HD7 compatible with Final Cut Pro X

Hi
I have a JVC GZ-HD7AA and i need it to work with my New Macbook Pro and a 30 day trial version of Final Cut Pro X
Is there any way this will work?
i have tried it with imovie and it wouldn't work either. If it could just work with one of these programmes i would be happy.
Thankyou in advance for any responses.

I know nothing about the camera other than what I have just read.
It looks as though this may be one of the cameras whose maker thinks they're cleverer than anyone else and develops a non-standard video format that cannot be edited properly.
If you can copy the video files to your desktop, download MPEG Streamclip and use it to convert the files to ProRes 422.

Is there a way to make an inline remote work as a menu button?

My menu button on my 4th gen iPod touch is currently half-stuck. The bottom half doesn't come up, the top half still works. So I have my menu button working still, but I'm trying to find a way to not use it, just in case.
is there any way to change the settings for the inline remote on my headphones? You press the center button once, it plays, twice it skips, three times it goes backward. Is there anyway to reset one of those to act as the menu button? or adding other inline remote commands?

Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock it. Contact Sprint.
Cheers,
GB

On the back button is the little drop down arrow completely gone, or is there a way I can I get it back. With the new Firefox I have to keep hitting back over and over again?

Is the back button drop down arrow replaced by the little arrow next to the star on the bar?
Maybe it didn't install correctly, I have Windows XP if that makes a difference. I know from the tour when the new one loaded there is supposed to be a bookmarks thing next to the new location for home but it's not on there either. It's still on my toolbar so I don't care enough to fix it so there is no need for anyone to address it, I just put the info in case it tells you something about it not installing properly.
Sorry, it's not easy for older people to keep up with all the daily website changes, adding browser changes adds to the confusion. I hope my head doesn't explode one day. Thank you for the help.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

I there a way to send a video in a text with the new ios 5.0 from the video folder?

I just upgraded to ios 5.0 on iphone 4s and videos are now in a new folder. Is there any way to text or email these videos from the folder?

There is no "out of box" tool per se that does this type of task, but you could probably script it with an Action that uses JavaScript. If you are not familiar with Acrobat JavaScript then you will need to find someone who is familiar with it to assist you in building it.

Is there any way to make an HD/good quality film with my webcam?

Everytime I upload a video to youtube, the quality isn't so great. I've seen and heard from other people that they upload only using their Macbook cams. I have a macbook pro, is the webcam worse? Because their videos are actually good quality. I want it to be full screen and not pixelated like it normally is. iMovie usually makes it worse so i try to upload straight to youtube. Idk, any adivce?

A Matte screen protector will help with the glare from the sun, that is the case with most phones in direct sun light

We recently purchased the iphone5 (2) and are having problems with sound coming thru the earbuds when we plug them in to the iphones. works fine with the ipad. help please

recently purchased the iphone5 (2 of them) and are having problems with the earpods. no sound when plugged in to the iphone. both phones. works with the ipad. help please

Hi P5052,
Welcome to the Support Communities ... and congratulations on the purchase of your iPhone 5's!
It is very unusual that neither phone is working with the new earpods.
Have you tried a different headphone just to see if the issue is with the earpods or the iPhones?
The article below will give you the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
Symptoms
When someone calls, I can't hear them through the receiver or speaker phone, and I can't hear music through the speaker. I also can't be heard by someone who is calling me.
Note: iPhone has one speaker, which is adjacent to the dock connector. On iPhone 4 or later models, the speaker is to the right of the dock connector. On earlier iPhone models, the speaker is to the left of the dock connector.
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope this helps!

Is there a way to make Photoshop CC keep document windows inside the application window?

I've been a Photoshop user for a long time now, but only recently made the switch from CS3 to Creative Cloud. Generally I really like the changes, but there is one thing I absolutely hate with a passion - the default window management. I often want to arrange my windows side by side, so I disabled the tab mode, but the problem with doing this is that the windows are not managed inside Photoshop as they used to be in CS3. The biggest problem I have is that windows are not contained inside the Photoshop application frame as they used to be. I much prefer the old behaviour and wonder if there is some kind of option to reenable it.
Anyone know? I notice the Mac version has something called application frame, which sounds like what I need, but it's Mac only for some reason :/

I'm not a Mac user so don't know what menu it comes under, but Aplication Frame is what turns that feature on and off. Either Window or View menu would be my guess

I have iwork downloaded from a cd, is there any way to make that show up as purchased on the mac app store

i want it to be recognized as purchased on the app store so i can download it on my other mac

No unfortunately the Mac App Store is a new purchase.
In compensation it is very cheap and you can install it on any of your Macs using the same Apple ID.
There is no need to switch yet, they are the same versions. Wait until their is a new version of Pages eg Pages '12 or '13 and then switch because that will be a new charge.

btw You have installed your version from a DVD, downloading is something you do from the Internet.

I recently authored a DVD. Is there a way to make it into a Blu Ray using the same project settings?

All my titles, menus, etc are in 720x480. I'm not sure how to upscale it.
I tried just exporting as a Blu Ray, and the quality is terrible, the video menus are all screwy. Also, I am getting Media Offline messages on footage that works perfectly fine on DVD. I tried burning straight to disc and also to an ISO.
Thanks.

They would be! you have tried to scale up from 720x480 in non-square pixels to (possibly) 1920x1080, and you cannot expect to do that & have it look any good.
For HD, start using images that are ideally lossless (no JPEG) bitmaps or Tiff files are best, I find, and create your menu at the right resolution.
Please also check that the resolution & frame rate you are using is also BD legal.
