Lengthening the period of black in a Dip to Color transition?

I want to face to black, hold in black, then fade up into the next clip. How can I lengthen the time in black?

One way is to insert a Slug.

Dip to Color transition with graphic

I'm using a Dip to Color Dissolve transition between a black screen and a graphic that has colored text with a black background. When using the transition, I get the flash of white color, as intended, but the outline of the graphic is visibile. Dragging along the timeline, I found that this was because the graphic, centered in the screen, changes color more slowly than the rest of the empty space around, making it so that you can see the square outline of the image during the transition.
Is there a way to fix it so that the graphic and the background change color throughout the transition at the same time, making it clean and unable to see the outline of the graphic?
My apologies if the explanation is somewhat confusing, I'd be happy to clarify if necessary! Thanks!

Masking a Transition (dip to color)

I want to have several images "pop" onto the screen with a dip to white transition. I have four different images scaled down each making up 1/4 of the screen. Now I want to change images with the "flash" transition (I set the dip to color transition to white with a duration of 5 frames) and the images will change in a rotating fashion. However, I only want the image to pop with white rather than all four pictures. Is there a way to restrict the white pop to the scaled down image only rather than covering the entire screen?
Thanks beforehand.

you could create a white color matte, set it for your duration of 5 frames, scale it to the size of the clip you want to change, and simply put it above that clip on the timeline. use the rubber bands to change the opacity rather than the stock transition.

Numbers 3.1 restricting the period for moving average trend lines

Numbers 3.1 is restricting the period I can specify for a moving average trend line for a scatter plot series. The max is 6. This limitation was not present in the previous version of Numbers.
Charts imported from the previous version retain larger periods, but there is no way I can see to specify periods >6 for any new series. Is there a way to allow a period >6? That is clearly necessary for many applications.
Thanks.

Hi Bill,
Numbers 3.1
If you want a 14 day moving average over the prior 14 days, the formula in C10 is
=AVERAGE(B2:B15) (and Fill Down)
The formula will eventually run out of cells. Hence the red error triangles.
Plotting columns A, B and C:
X axis is Day (column A)
Blue circles and blue line are Actual Y (column B and as expected, they jump around).
Black circles and black line are calculated moving averages on a 14 day period (column C)
Red line is Numbers Trendline (Moving Average, Period 6). How it predicts into the future (Moving Average over 6 days) I have no idea.
I would more trust a calculated moving average, because I know what it is calculating.
Regards,
Ian.

My macbook pro's screen constantly goes dim. I have set the energy saver settings for battery to 7 mins but it goes dim if the period of inactivity is less than 7 mins. Please help. MBP 13" OSX 10.6.8 (2011)

Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you're being logged-off.
Does your Mac go through the complete Restart cycle -- black screen, gray and/or blue screen momentarily, startup chime, etc?
If you're not sure, do a Restart just to watch the process; the next time the problem occurs, see if it's the same.
You need to know which it is, as these will have very different causes, and different places to look for a solution.

Problems with using the 'Dip to Color' dissolve

On a short project we decided to use the dip to color dissolve. We wanted the scene to desolve to white and selected the color without problems, however, on applying the dissolve it goes to white as intended but then dissoleves to black halfway through the transition. We should like this to stay white and then fade to the the next scene from white.
Any suggestion would be welcome.
Regards,
Tom

Well too me it looked ok, but I have now adopted a work around - by using opoacity over a white background on a lower track which produced the desired result.
Thanks for getting back to me - I shall explore this transition/dissolve further some other time.

Tom

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row! What should I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

No data in IT0007 during the period 05.05.2010 - 31.05.2010

Hi experts,
When i am running PY simulation for a particular employee who has joined as trainee a year before and was confirmed on 05.05.2011 I am getting error in log saying No data in IT0007 during the period 05.05.2010 to 31.05.2010. Pls brief me to overcome this issue ASAP.
Thanks in advance
Upensap

Please go to PA30 select the IT0007 and go for overview
check the start date of the records, check if there is data for the mentioned period in the error?
if not maintain it .
from which date the employees payroll is going to start?

Text put into a canvas element with context.fillText() always has a black box where each letter goes. If the text is black you just see the black rectangle. If the text is not black you see it on the black bounding box. Surely this is not right.

This has happened on the last few versions of firefox, as long as canvas has been supported. I see other people's screen shots from canvas tutorials, and the text always looks normal. On my system, any text put into a canvas element via context.fillText() will have a black bounding box for each letter, sized appropriately for the letter. If the text is black, of course you only see rectangles. If the text is a contrasting color, then you can read it, but it looks bizarre.

Thomas...same kind of crap here.
I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
Set to 72 pt.
The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
Using Transform will not sort it!

When the asset is sold in the mid of the period, how the depreciation is ca

when the asset is sold in the mid of the period, how the depreciation is calculated as you can not run AFAB in the mid of the period.

Adding to the above reply, when the asset is sold in the mid period, during such sale process, based on the period control, depreciation till the date will be computed by the system and adjusted.

E613 SYST: You cannot determine the period for rule 03

Dear All,
We are configuring asset module and using MSTL dep key for Tax books. When we tried to create an asset with MSTL dep key, we encountered error - 'E613 SYST: You cannot determine the period for rule 03'. when verified config OAVH Define Calender Assignments transaction, Period control '03' is missing for fiscal year variant K4. Period control is exisiting in Maintain Period Control and but not in Define Calender Assignment. What I understand these period controls are being delivered by SAP. Not sure why period control '03' is missing. all other period control keys are available.
question is how to add period control 03 so that we can use MSTL dep key. we are currently using 4.7c. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
Sunil

message went abruptly before I finish.
+++++++++
continuing from previous email
Period control 01 has following entry in the transaction
Fiscal Year Variant Per control Name of the period control Year Month Day Period Mid Month
K4 01 Pro rata at period start date blank 0 0 blank not selected
If I follow SAP help to define period control '03', then I just need to copy period control '01' which is listed above and select 'Mid Month' check box.
Wondering anyone did this in the past. MSTL depreciation key is being used in MACRS tax for US. I am sure people who have implemented assets module for US with tax dep, they might have encountered this issue.
thanks
Sunil

When I click on a link in an email, the comoputer locks p and the screen goes black, requiring a shut down from the on-off switch. My version of Firefox is up-to-date.

The on-off switch is the only way I can turn off the computer, because the screen is black. Then I turn on the computer again to reboot, and when I click on Firefox again it takes from 30 to 90 seconds before Firefox opens, at which point I get a message asking if I want to begin a new session. Then I open emails and don't click on any links. If I check my email using Internet Explorer, the problem does not occur. Your help would be appreciated. After 50 years of operating comoputers, I have never seen this problem. Regards----Lloyd Schultz

Fred...thanks, but this is not about one site. The same thing happens often, with many sites, when i click a link that has come up in Google search, or on Twitter or Facebook or within a story I'm reading. The link takes me to the url of what it was supposed to take me too, then within a second or so it switches to that Yahoo 'error handler' url, a page that offers search for similar sites.
Again, thank you.
