Letter boxing and faded rectangle for subtitles
Hello
two questions, but both related. I only have FCP 5.1, not studio
Im looking to put a letter box black rectangle (top and bottom) across my 4:3 footage. I need to overlay this on top of the clips as there is some imported video that is the wrong size
also looking to create a faded rectangle to go over subtitles...
i guess its the same function for both.
any ideas much appreciated
I have a question for you.
FCP 5.1 isn't available as a stand-alone app. It is only sold as an integral part of Final Cut Studio, and the apps are only to be installed on the same computer, as there is only one serial number for the entire package.
So, how do you 'only' have FCP 5.1 and not Studio?

Semi-opaque background rectangle for subtitles
There should be a simple answer for this, but can't seem to find it after hours combing through the archives.
I want to have subtitles for a documentary using FCP HD (no plug-ins) and have succeeded creating the text. But I want a transluscent box in which the text appears, to help its readability... darkish box for white text, or whitish box for black text. I've fooled around with "Shapes--Rectangle" but am just improvising and the results are dismal. I'd be very grateful for a walk-through for a graphics newbie.
Thanks!I want to have subtitles for a documentary using FCP HD (no plug-ins) and have succeeded creating the text. But I want a transluscent box in which the text appears, to help its readability... darkish box for white text, or whitish box for black text.
This might not be feasible if you've already created all your subtitles - as opposed to having created only a few for testing purposes - but what you want can be accomplished all in one spot: the Outline Text generator in FCP.
If you go via the 'A' button in the Viewer: Text > Outline Text. If you prefer the Effects tab: Video Generator > Text > Outline Text.
Anyhow, once Outline Text is loaded into the Viewer...
Hit the Controls tab and scroll down, to reveal the Background Settings
By default, the background is 'turned off.' That is, Horizontal Size and Vertical Size are both set to 0.
To get it working, I usually set Horizontal Size to 106 and Vertical size to 102.
Alter Back Soft to 2. (That is, unless you want a hard edge to your box)
Adjust Back Opacity if you want, though I find that setting Opacity to less than 40 starts to get counter productive. I usually leave it at 50, myself.
Optional: alter your Text Settings to move away from (or completely eliminate) the not-so-subtle default settings for Outline Width. (50!!!)
(Not to mention adjust all the other font settings to your liking, but I think you're old hat at all that now.)
Like I said, not the easiest adjustment to make if you've got all your subtitles done, but certainly the simplest way to do what you're asking (if it helps in the future). -
I am the Video Coordinator at Samford University and have found the quality of video capture on the iPad 4 AMAZING, however I need to convert all my files through a canopus in order to Capture and Cut live like I do with a regular video camera. I can get the tripod and mount for the iPad, I was just wondering if anybody knows exactly how/if there is a way to connect to the canopus from an iPad.
Look forward to hearing what you guys and girls say.I'm a bit vague about what it is you wish to accomplish. Are you trying to capture video through an external box? If so, that's not posssible with any of the Canopus boxes I'm familar with. In fact I don't know of any external video capture solution that works with an iPad, though I can't state definitively that none exist. I really don't think an iPad would be well suited for this even if it's possible. I'd strongly suggest you look into a MacBook Air or one of the current MacBook Pros. Those are far better suited for on-the-fly video capture and editing.
If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.

Verizon mifi 4g let box and TC
Im having trouble getting these two devices to sync together. The Verizon box only has a port to charge it, not to connect it to another device. Im wanting to make a wireless network on my TC, any suggestions?
Hello,
It sounds like VZW is expanding 4G LTE into your area and now your MiFi has a competing signal to deal with. This might be the case of the old 3G/4G hand-off situation. The first thing I would try is upgrading the firmware to the latest version. If you are already updated then you might want to consider restricting your MiFi to 3G only until the 4G LTE network comes online and is more stable in your area.
Use 3G only (MiFi 4510L)
Power on the MiFi
Connect to the MiFi
Navigate to http://mifi.admin
Sign into the MiFi
Click the WWAN tab
Click the More link at the bottom of the page
Change the WWAN Preferred Mode from Global to CDMA Auto
Click Apply
Test your connection -
I am trying to get the artwork for an album. "Artwork Not Modifiable" appears in the artwork box and it doesn't let me drag artwork. What can I do to fix this?
Words simply can't describe what a kludge iTunes has become. Every time Apple fixes one problem, a dozen more pop up. It's like trying to hold a bunch of ping-pong balls under water simultaneously.
The immediate problem is that Lion with iTunes buggers the artwork. Some it loses, some it can't find, and some appears and disappears like the Flying Dutchman (look it up...).
The bigger issue is that so MUCH of iTunes is bad, in general. Apple trys to use iTunes as a Swiss Army knife, using it to synch iPhones, iPads, etc. The app has become so generic that it is actually good at nothing.
The interfrace is kludgy; moving the library from one location to another virtually guarantees a wasted day and usually lost art, music, or backups.
In general, Apple's hardware and software is relatively ergonomically designed. I-Tunes, however just plain SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS! -
I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?
I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

Hello people,
I can't update iPhoto after installing OSX 10.9.2, it has the name otto@**** in the apple ID box and will not let me change it. Any thoughts?
Thanks
<Email Edited By Host>You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method. -
when i go to update apps the previous owners apple id is stuck in the id box and it won't let me put mine in.. PLEASE HELP! LOL
Apple says that the Mac was supposed to be erased and taken back to the most recent version of OS X with which it shipped. You should not have any of the previous owner's apps. That violates the Terms of Use for Mac App Store apps.

Whenever I click on iTunes store, it just takes me to this huge add to download the new version of iTunes. I have tried clicking the download box and downloading it, but it still will not let me past the add so I can buy music. What gives
this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me... -
Sequence settings and letter box?
Hi,
I imported DVCAM from a deck allowing final cut to determine the settings. I noticed later that the footage was appearing as 4:3 letterboxed in some sequences and then 16:9 in others, without me adjusting anything. The original sequence had the letter boxed video footage, but when I imported the footage into a new sequence it adjusted it to PRO Res compressor. It is also worth mentioning that the title cards I used in the original sequence got smaller when I put them into the second sequence that showed the footage at 16:9.
Ultimately, I want to know how to make everything 16:9 and how to adjust those settings. Do I need to adjust the sequence? Does it need to be a new project?
Thoughts?
Thanks.To answer this question another question is more important:
Was the original DV footage Anamorphic or 4:3 letterbox?
For understanding the whole thing about these concepts please read this article on Kenstone's site.
And post back after reading that and still having troubles.

Need Wi-FI Unit That Has Component Output And Has Netflix Option for Subtitles
Anyone know of anything that has everything mentioned in the Subject heading? I just bought a Sony BDP-S580 that I thought fit the bill except it does not allow for Netflix Subtitles.
That is interesting. I am going to test this out.
There has to be a fix for this.
Perhaps a Roku Box will do the trick for you.
I get subtitles on my set up but I am not using Wi Fi. I have cable modem, to wireless/wired router, hard wire to my TIVO and HDMI to my TV and it works on there.
I wonder if the TIVO is able to encript the subtitles.
I know most TV sets have setting for Subtitles. Have you gone into your TV setting and used that to turn on and off subtitles and there should be various subtitle format options. -

Hello Everyone
I have two drop downs. Both are coming from look up fields from two lists. i want to set a default value(first list item) for the first drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value for the next drop down list box. I found one article(http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/display-first-item-drop-down-list-box-infopath-2010.htm)
where in i can set a default value but i can't apply cascading based on that default value. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
