Ken Burns start and stop points

In iMovie, when using the Ken Burns effect how can I set the start and stop points to be the same? I don't want to just use "Crop" because my understanding is that using the Ken Burns effect will result in a clearer still photo.

The renderer that is used when the Ken Burns effect is on does give a clearer still photo when converted to video. On an older version of iMovie I could set the startpoint and then use a key-sequence that was a shortcut to set the endpoint to be the same as the startpoint. I was hoping there was a similar feature with the newer version of iMovie. Then I wouldn't have to adjust the start and stop rectangles for a 100 photos.

I agree it would be useful. It's something that's been asked for. The best thing is to keep requesting at the Lightroom feature request forum

Starting and stopping triggered samples

The ESX24 Sampler claims to be a plug-in that functions exactly like a sampler should. Previous to Logic Pro 7, I used a SP-606 sampler that had three different ways a sample could be played:
1. drum - this function played the sample as long as the button (or note) was held down then stopped playing once released
2- trigger - this started the sample and let it play until the end of the entire audio region
3- loop - this looped the sample based on the specified start and stop points.
However under the second function, trigger, you could trigger the sample to start and stop and restart and stop every time you hit the sample button or sent a note.
Does logic have this function anywhere in the ESX24?
for instance if i had a 15 second long sample and sent a midi note from a controller to start it...how do i stop it and restart it at will?
the only functions I see available in Logic are the 'drum' function (where the sample releases and stops as long as you hold down the note) and the trigger function (but in Logic a second trigger does not stop the sample ----
it triggers a second sample to play again --so that multiple samples are playing simultaneously)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Music starts and stops during playback of burned DVD

I really need help with this problem...I made a slideshow and added music from itunes in the program IDVD. Once I burned the DVD the music will start and stop throughout the DVD and not at chapters as I read in other threads - but in random places on the DVD. The DVD sounds like it gets hung up and then starts again. This is my first project using IDVD, so any help would be great.

Debra,
Do your project have music purchased from iTunes? If so, that could be the cause of this problem. Music from iTunes is DRM-protected and can cause problems in playback. To take care of this, first burn all of your purchased music to a CD, then reimport in an aiff format. To do this, in iTunes, go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing. Look for "Import using", and use the drop-down menu to select AIFF encoder.
Good luck.

Batch file to start and stop services

I've setup a CF Probe on my Development Server to ensure my
CF Production server is up and running (services = Apache and CF
Application Server). It checks the PROD login page and if it times
out in 30 sec the probe fails. I understand I can execute a file
(batch file with net start and net stop) but the problem is I need
to have the probe somehow point to the .bat file on the PROD server
and not on the local machine. How can I remotely access this batch
file and execute it? I don't know how to point to the file on the
other server... can anyone help?

Hi Ken,
You had pointed me in the right direction regarding the
psstools in order to create a batch file that can remotely start
and stop services.
i used the psexec command and am able to successfully restart
the services needed remotely... however when i pick the file in the
coldfusion administrator (in the probes section) how to i point to
the batch file to run? it seems like the probe is not running the
script like i want... the file is located on the c:\ so i entered
c:\test2.bat...
Thanks,
Matt
Matt,
You should review the online help in the cfadmin for probes
and the links it points you to in the developer's guide. Basically
you need to define a new probe in the cfadmin by clicking the
"Define New Probe" button. One of the probe's attributes will be
what action. Define the action as a program and point it at a batch
file running psexec. You will probably need to run CFMX as a
specific user and not as localsystem, which is the default.

Start and Stop Trigger using PXI-6120 and DigitalStartAndStopTrigger.vi not working :-(

Hello,
I've been trying for a while now to get my PXI unit to capture a waveform between a Start and Stop (Reference) Trigger using the NI example DigitalStartAndStopTrigger.vi downloaded from the NI website. However, whilst the start trigger and stop trigger seem to be working i.e. the VI runs and stops at the correct times there is never any data read from my DAQmx compatible PXI-6120 card. So I can see the VI is running around the aquisition loop but the Property Node AvailSampPerChan is always returning zero... this has me slightly puzzled. I thought this might just be a driver issue so I've updated my box to the following software versions (see below) and installed the latest drivers e.g. DCDNov07.exe (also from the NI site) but nothing has changed.
my software as of now.
Labview 7.1 (with the 7.1.1 upgrade applied)
Max 4.3.0.49152
DAQmx 8.6.0f12
Trad DAQ 7.4.4f7
before I updated I had the same problem but with the following versions:
Labview 7.1 (with the 7.1.1 upgrade applied)
Max 4.2.1.3001
DAQmx 8.5.0f5
Trad DAQ 6.9.3f4
So to cut a long story short I still have the same problem with the triggers... does anybody have any ideas what is going wrong?
To add insult to injury it the traditional DAQ example ai_start-stop_d-trig.vi was almost working correctly before I did the upgrade. It had the strange behaviour of capturing the AI0 channel but on the wrong edges (e.g. if I set Start on Rise and Stop on Fall it would do the opposite, Start on Fall and Stop on Rise).
I'm going to leave my box doing a mass compile over night but i'd really like it if someone could suggest a solution or point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Mike

Hi Graham
I'm out of the lab today but I'll try and answer your questions as best I can...
1) What are the values you have set for Buffer size, Rate, samples per read and post trigger Samples?
At the moment I have all the values (e.g. sample rate, buffer size etc) unchanged apart from the ones I mentioned in my previous post (see above). I have in the past played around with changing the buffer sizes and rates in the example VI but as this appeared to have no effect on the behaviour I now have them setup as in the download.
2) Does the program end after the stop trigger is implemented?
Yep, if I toggle the trigger line high then low I see the program exits the read loop and the VI stops running as expected.
3) Lastly can you give me the details of triggering method. Are you
using a digital train of users set digital pulses? how long is the
program running.I'm using the WriteDigChan.vi to manually toggle the first digital line of the PXI-6733 card which is wired directly to PFI0 of the PXI-6120 card. Generally, I just start the VI running and then toggle the line high, wait a couple of seconds and then toggle it low.
To me it all looks like it should be acquiring samples but as I said yesterday it just refuses to fill the buffer with any data (and hence no samples are read).
Any ideas? and thanks for you help,
Mike

Adding Start and Stop characters to a text field???

"For 1D bar codes, there are two options depending on the type of PDF form you want to use. Forms that you create in Acrobat (acroforms) can be set up to use a bar code font with a standard text field. If you want to include the standard start and stop character (*) and/or a check character, you can use JavaScript to add them. The check character would have to be calculated, but that can be easily done with JavaScript."
How would i go about doing this. My current PDF form will pull a last name and first name onto the form in a Barcode format, but i need to add in *LNM to the start and another * at the end of the data that was pulled from a SQL data base. example the pdf has a Text Feild named "borrower1_last_name" and that filed pulls the last name.. So i was thinking there should be an easy script like you said to add in to that feild properties.
posting here now, becasue no one seems to be able to point me to the correct resourse on the reader forum.

okay.. so now how do I change the space between the first name and middle inital (and even the last name) in that same field?
something like this looks like it should work but doesnt seem to do anything.
str.replace(/ /g, "_");
// Add an asterisk to the beginning and end of the value
if (event.value) event.value = "*FNM" + event.value + "*";
//Replace black spaces with an Underscore
str.replace(/ /g, "_");

How to start and stop a queue in ECC??

Dear all,
I have a problem regarding the Start and Stop of queues in ECC. Whenever I change the data in ECC (for example extension of a material to a new distribution chain, or Creating a quotation which has to trigger a corresponding quotation in CRM), replication is not happening to CRM. On analysis of the outbound queue in ECC, we are finding corresponding ernties for the material / quotation. On dbl cliking an entry, we are able to see the queue in STOP status. When tried to reset status and activate, system throws a message saying GENERIC STOP SET.
1) How to overcome this problem?
2) How to START or STOP a queue (for Eg: R3AD*) in ECC?

I have installed "Sneak Preview"; Searched for start and stop scripts but there are more than one script which has named start.bat and stop.bat. Moreover, I searched the documents which comes with Sneak Preview but could find useful instruction there either.
Question: Could you please point me to the documentation where it explains the starting and stopping SAP, for Sneak Preview?
Thanks in advance

Flash media player starts and stops

I have Flash 9,0,115,0 and it works according to the test on
the adobe website. However, when I try to play google videos, they
start and stop and and freeze. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to get a hold of this tool or any similar
"before" I install FMS 3.0. I'm glad I didn't install it last
weekend. I didn't know there were some risks of not playing my
current flv's. Now, I want to check all of my flv's before I make
the move...
Also, is there any chance at all, that the
start/stop/start/stop condition in all my videos (under FMS 2)
after 2 connections could be blamed on the player? I have a custom
made player. Can you point me to the right resources?
I'm fairly new to this technology and really appreciate your
time in answering my questions.
Thanks,

Permanantly disabling "ken burns" pan and zoom?

I never want to see the Ken Burns "pan and zoom" effect in my slideshows. I find it annoying and dizzying!
Every time i create a new slideshow, this effect is on by default. I have to go into the settings selection for each slideshow, and un-check it. There appears to be no setting to automatically disable this. I even found a "SlideShowAutoPanAndZoom" setting in the .plist file, set it to "NO", but that doesn't stop the behavior.
Does anybody know if there's any way to do this?
Thanks

I have a similar problem with music. Why does it
default to playing music and why can't you change the
default? This is really annoying.
I too disliked the auto-music, but managed to find a "brute force" way to kill that. It ain't pretty, but it works:
- create a silent MP3 file.
- name it "Minuet in G.mp3" (which is iPhoto's default music choice);
- store it over top of the existing minuet which lives in /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources/Music/

Script to auto start and stop an application

Ok, I'm looking for an easy solution, maybe someone can point me in the right direction:
I have a security camera program that runs on a Mac Mini that I would like to start and stop at a specific time of day. Is there an easy way to create an Applescript to do that?
Thanks much in advance.

Two scripts and iCal can do this for you. However, it assumes that your workstation is always logged into the Finder and that your app can be scripted beyond start and stop.
--Script 1, launch application
tell application "name of security app"
activate
-- do more stuff here like start capture
end tell
--Script 2, quit the application
tell application "name of security app"
quit
end tell
Save them both as scripts and then use iCal to make two repeating events. One to start the app and the other to stop it. Attach your scripts as event actions. Then sit back and let the iCal schedular the rest.

Starting and stopping stream capture repeatedly

Hi,
I am building a vmail server that captures an incoming, continuous RTP voice stream from a hardware phone and records portions of that stream to disk, based on control messages received (like record/stop buttons for a continuous RTP stream).
The first time I record, the sound file on the file system is well formatted. Subsequent recordings result in headerless audio files (although the audio data is correctly output to file otherwise).
The problem is that I need to get header information written to the audio files for subsequent recordings.
Here is a bit of source code to show how I am starting and stopping recording. At this point, the processor is already created and realized and the MediaLocator is previously initialized:
     MediaLocator recordedML ;
     public void startRecording() {
          try {
               processor.start();
               DataSource ds = null;
               ds = processor.getDataOutput();
               recordingDataSink = Manager.createDataSink(ds, recordedML);
               recordingDataSink.open();
               // starts sticking captured data into a file
               recordingDataSink.start();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (NoDataSinkException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     public void stopRecording() {
          try {
               recordingDataSink.stop();
               recordingDataSink.close();
               recordingDataSink = null;
               processor.stop();
               processor.deallocate();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
Calling startRecording() and stopRecording() the first time results in a properly formatted sound file on the file system, captured from my incoming RTP stream.
Calling startRecording() and stopRecording() subsequent times results in headerless audio files.
So the problem seems to be that subsequent calls to processor.getDataOutput() result in a DataSource that doesn't print a file header.
What I have tried includes:
-recreating the processor, but this doesn't work because it seems you can only do this once for a single incoming stream - the processor never reaches the configured state a second time.
-reconfiguring the processor or re-realizing the processor, which doesn't do what I want either.
One way that I think this would work would be to write out the audio header manually after the capture is complete, but this seems like a gross hack and I would rather do it through JMF.
Is there a way to fix this via JMF? Is this a JMF bug or is it intended to work this way?
Cheers,
-Jeff

Starting and stopping SAP in Unix

Hi,
Pls tell me the command to start and stop sap in Unix.
I dont want to start and stop the Database
Pls help

Log on in UNIX as a user with SAP administrator authorization (<sid>adm).
To start the central instance, call the shell script
startsap_<host>_<instance no> in the home directory
of the <sid>adm user. If there is only one instance for each application server, the
alias startsap points to the script startsap_<host>_<instance no>.
The script startsap first starts the saposcol process which collects statistical
data for the operating system that it provides to the SAP system.
The next step is a check to see if the database is running. If not, the script
startdb is called to start the database.
The final step starts all of the processes for the instance (message server,
dispatcher, work processes, and so on).
After the central instance is started, you can optionally start other instances.
The startsap script can be called with the following options:
DB: starts the database system
R3: starts the instances and associated processes for the instance
ALL: starts the database system and the instance (default setting, can be omitted)
To start the SAP system, the startsap script calls the sapstart process with
the start profile specified in the script in the variable START_FILES.
The stopsap script can be called with the following options:
DB: stops the database system with the help of the stopdb script
R3: stops the instances of the SAP system
ALL: stops the database system and the instance (default setting, can be
omitted)
The database can be stopped separately with database tools.
