Looking for a reveal

Looking for a step-by-step how-to:
I have a wide overhead shot of a brewery bottling line and detail shots of the steps in the bottling process. I'm trying to highlight those steps, with say, an spotlight of some sort that widens to reveal the detail shot.
I suspect there is a simple solution that can be done all in FCP, but I haven't put my finger on it. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Zak,
Occam's Razor? How philosophical of you, and so early in the morning.
In a previous life I met Rene Descartes, the famous "I think therefore I am" philosopher.
Lo and behold I also attended his funeral. It was a beautiful procession to the cemetery where the casket was on a wagon being pulled by a beautiful white stallion.
At one point going down a street the wagon became dislodged from the stallion and began rolling past the horse.
I whispered to my grieving friend at the time and said look they've put Descartes before the horse.

Looking for a specific transition

I'm looking for a specific transition - I have an image layer of a credit card, that starts out only showing the thin edge, then flips out to reveal the flat surface of the card. Closest I could find in FC was 3D Spinback.
Can you recommend a good source of FC transitions, free or paid? One that shows previews would be especially good.

I thought you might have this issue, and I had meant to point out a problem with your workflow, but it slipped my mind.
The file you're working with is a .psd, and it contains 1 layer, rather than being a flattened image. So what's happening is that when you drop the file into the Sequence it becomes a Nested Item.
That's why when you double click it, it opens in its own sequence, constrained to its own dimensions. When you add the basic 3d filter, you are then animating it in that sequence, rather than the main sequence.
Without going back to Photoshop, the easiest fix is to
1. Cut the effect from the clip.
2. Go back to the main sequence and Option Double Click the clip. You are now accessing the master clip, rather than its subclip which is the single .psd layer.
3. Paste the filter. I believe your keyframed motion will be retained, and the clip will now rotate in the main sequence without cropping.
4. Remember from here on that to access the filter again you have to Option Double Click the layer.

Looking For a Download Any Video App iMac

All I want to do is download any video using an app that works with an iMac. is there such an animal? Thanks for any help

Well, let's not wait for the future. Here it is: On Firefox you can download a video helper and install it. That enables you to go any site on the internet with video. If you want to download a video to your desktop, let's say, you look for the swirling rainbow color balls, and next to it is a symbol that when you click on it reveals the video playing. You click the video title, and it is downloaded to your desktop if you so choose that location. Can I do that with Safari? Can I go on the internet and look for the equivalent download helper for mac? I don't want to always download videos using Firefox, though it's very easy....Thanks

Does Pages have the feature I am looking for? Or does TextEdit (i hope so)

hello! I was looking for a specific wordpad function, and was hoping that Apple's TextEdit program had such a feature.
What I am looking for, is the ability to insert the equivalent of one of those little triangles that point to the right, indicating that there is expandable content if clicked (which would of course reveal the content underneath what followed the triangle, which would than be pointing downward). You know, very much like how you view a finder window in 'list view'.
I would love to have those expandable/collapsable triangles for lists I set up in TesxtEdit. This function would also work well for writing paper outlines, or organizing information under various topic headings, so I could enter notes and content under each heading's dropdown area of text, and than collapse it to minimize the cluttering of my document.
Does TextEdit have a feature that provides the same kind of result? If not, does anyone know of any program that has a feature like this? I currently have been employing TextEdit for my needs running Tiger, so please fill me in on any features that TextEdit under Leopard might have that would get me to my desired goal.
Thanks!!!!!

No, you are describing a form of Outlining that Pages does not do neither does TextEdit nor any other text editor I know of.
OmniOutliner does however do this:

Pages' Outline feature does something similar but without the little rotating arrow.

Any suggestions for what to look for in a good production monitor?

I'm in the market for a production monitor and I'm looking at B&H's online catalogue now. Any tips on what to look for and if anyone has any recommendations or favorites? Thanks.

it would help if you could determine a budget and then shop for models within or slightly above that budget.
basically, some necessary items are switchable aspect ratio, underscan/overscan and then some sort of blue check for proper chroma and phase calibration. some monitors have a gray scale blue check which i think completely blows. it's better to have a monitor with viewable red, blue and green guns as the blue gun is more accurate for calibration than a grayscale blue check feature. also, there are other diagnostic functions that are viewable by using the red or green guns to view color bars.
some other nice features to have are horizontal/vertical delay, sdi inputs, hd-sdi inputs.
it's been mentioned in the last larry jordan newsletter than the crt monitor is going the way of the dinosaur and now sony and panasonic are marketing lcd products only. i think this is a very sad trend. as a freelance video operator/camera shader, i am of the opinion that lcd monitors are horrible; they hurt my eyes and the color rendition isn't as accurate as a crt. leitch is now manufacturing an lcd scope which is just terrible to behold. the black area of the vectorscope is a huge, amorphous blob of white light that shows no signal detail whatsoever.
i don't know what to make of larry's statement as a quick check of the sony business website reveals only bvm crt's in their product lineup, no more pvm series. i haven't looked at the panasonic product catalog yet.
although the sony pvm L5 that shane mentioned is a quality product, to my eyes, i would get an ikegami monitor but you'll find that the superior imaging of the ikegami also has a superior price point.
one last point, don't buy an used monitor from ebay, you don't know where it's been or how it's been treated. give jvc monitors a fair shake as well, not a bad product for the price, no matter what their reputation is.
good luck.

Looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database

As the title of this discussion states, I'm looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database to be used for reporting. Creating the dynamic form is not a problem, it's getting it into a database that's more of a nuisance. A dynamic form is needed in order to provide skip logic, hide/reveal, and other similar dynamic features.
The database hasn't been created, so just looking for the easiest, more effective and dependable solution. The key is being able to run reports off the data later.

So i set up 2 residential grade routers to test this out. Seems to be working okayish. I believe with directional antenae routers I should achieve what I need.
As for security I configured each device separately. I set them so only allow the MAC address of the other through wireless. This seems to be the best system for me. Once they are connected even if a MAC is spoofed of the other router it drops automatically because they are always connected. My wired devices get plugged in and recieve an IP from my main network.
There more testing to be done, but it seems to be working.
Thanks for your input and suggestions guys. I will be marking this topic as answered.

Looking for photo files

I have the latest Macbook Air with Lion preinstalled, and while I love iPhoto, I can't find my files.
When I turn on iPhoto all the photos are there, but when I look for them with finder, I can't find them anywhere. I assumed that they would be under the file "Pictures" but there are only three things there. iChat icons, iPhoto Library(which is the link to start the app), and Photobooth Library (also a link to start the app).
On Snow leopard I could access my photos through finder, but now I can't. When I want to upload a photo to my blog I can't find it.
Any ideas other than dragging every photo to the desktop to create a link there?

Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that +looks+ like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Looking for pictures of Apeture Books to be used as samples

Anyone know where I can find pictures of what the end result of an Aperture Book looks like so I can show it to a Client?
If I show the Client the book in Aperture, it is difficult for them to visualise what the final book will look like.
Any help here???
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I did know about this facility to preview the book before buying already. What I'm looking for is some kind of picture of what the final book actually looks like, something I can show a Client and say "it will look like this".
Do you know of anywhere I can see a jpeg or some equivalent of the final results?
A deep Google search has revealed nothing...
Thanks,
Chris

Looking for ako "Layer restore brush"...

Hi,
I know that this function exists in Photoshop, although I haven't used it for a long time, but now I should and don't know how to manage it:
I want to use a brush on a layer which copies pixels from the layer underneath.
Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks for any hints,

That's what I was looking for! Thanks, Mtstuner! I was not aware that the
clone stamp works from different layers
Have a great day,

One way is to add a layer mask to the layer above the layer you want get the
pixels from and paint on the layer mask with a black brush to reveal the layer
underneath.
Another way is to use the clone stamp tool and set current layer in the tool
options
bar and sample from one layer, then switch to the other layer and paint with
the

I am looking for a DW API hook

Like _beforeSave, is there a DW API hook akin to
_beforePreview (before
previewing in a browser the page currently open in the Design
Window)?
btw, "_beforePreview" does not seem to work, but I am hoping
there is
some other term they chose for this.
Anyone know?

Looking for a good popup extension/plugin

I have a client with a very specific popup in mind. I've checked around and so far I've been unable to find a program that can do exactly what they're looking for. Something tells me I can do everything listed below right in Dreamweaver but I'm not sure on how to add an image or style the popup/alert box to go with the website. Here's a description of what they want the popup to do:
The first window to popup:
Follow us on Google+ and enter a chance to win a $25 iTunes Gift Card! (include iTunes logo but no link)
Beneath this should be the google+ follow symbol centered.
Contest ends 6/1/14. (small at the bottom - we'll use the date 1 month from the time we launch the popup)
We need to have the google+ image linked to the Google+ account so that the minute they click on it, they automatically start following. Is that possible? It won't work for it to take them to that page to follow it since then they won't be able to sign up.
Once they click the google+ icon and start following, the popup should change to a sign up form asking for the following:
Name:
Email:
Address:
Phone:
Submit Button
(At the bottom in small type) All information entered will be used only for promotional contests and will not be used for any other purpose.
Once they submit this, I then want the popup to change to a confirmation:
Thanks for following us on Google+ and entering our iTunes Gift Card Giveway!
Continue to Site Content (button that closes the popup window)
I found a popup that worked for Facebook but I guess it needs to be Google+. If I can get this done in DW even better. I already have a Google+ button plugin but adding that code to a 3rd party extension hasn't worked thus far. But I'm fine with using a plugin or extension it just needs to be able to have the Google+ button that automatically follows without leaving the popup.
Thanks in advance for any help on this one...

Looking for template for rent receipts

I have several rental properties. I am looking for a Numbers Template that would be very basic, but would allow me to keep track of the date, and method of payment on a page for each property. Has anyone seen anything like this?
Gwen Bentley
<Email Edited by Host>

Hi Gwen,
If you can't find a suitable template with a web search, here is a quick draft done in Numbers that might suit.
Based on weekly payment of rent for one rental property.
Column A formatted as Date and Time but displaying only the Date component.
Cell A2 contains the starting date of the rental agreement.
Cell A3 contains the formula =A2+7 to increment the due date by 7 days. Fill Down.
Body Cells in Columns B, C, D formatted as Currency (2 decimal places).
Column B is the weekly rent. On 22 July the rent went up (highlighted in blue).
Cell D2 contains the formula =C2-B2
Cell D3 contains the formula =C3-B3+D2. Fill Down
Conditional formatting can reveal a negative balance as red text (or you can manually format it as red).
Body Cells in Column E are formatted as Pop-Ups:
First Pop-Up item is a space (to appear blank).
When you get one Table working as you want, Menu > File > Save as Template. Then add a blank Table for each rental property. Each Table can be on a separate Sheet for ease of printing.
Regards,
Ian.

I've lost my contacts. What file do I look for in my TM backups?

I've lost my contacts. I think it happened when I was exploring iCloud. What file do I look for in my TM backups?

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item selected. Quit the Contacts application if it's running. Restore the selected item from a backup.
