Looks like Beta 3 is just around the corner...

If you haven't noticed, things have changed on the Project Siena home page:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/projectsiena/default.aspx
Take a careful look and you'll also see a .zip with Beta 3 for the release notes and several updated references / documentation.
(If anyone knows how to actually view the contents of the .zip, that would be great.  I had the same problem with Beta 2.)

Hi All,
Beta3
is indeed right around the corner has been released! First things first, I'd like to clearly state that all documents created in the Beta2 version of Project Siena will open in the Beta3 version of Siena. So no worries there.
I'd also like to provide some additional details around the
following components:
1.
Import/Export Visuals, LoadData/SaveData:
We've released an update to address bringing forward data exported/saved using the Export/Import visuals and SaveData/LoadData functions.
Data exported/saved with the Export/Import visuals and SaveData/LoadData functions can now successfully be loaded from Beta2 to Beta3 without issue.
2. Timer visual:
Based on feedback we have simplified the timer control in
Beta3.
Does this change affect me?
If you open a Beta2 document that use timer visual in Beta3 and want to continue working this change will affect you.
This affects me, what should I do?
Your document will open fine in Beta3, but the timer visual will be upgraded to the Beta3 timer visual so you will have to fix up any functions highlighted by squiggles before your document previews as expected.
I'm curious,
what was the change?
We updated some default capabilities, styles and properties on the timer visual. For example, the timer now has a default text with a formula that shows the elapsed time. We have also renamed and removed a few properties that we’d heard feedback
about (e.g. End is now Duration, Interval and Step have been removed with a built in default of 10s of seconds, enabling custom counts using formulas).

  • Is there a way that to make text look like it is being written on the screen?

    I once saw a tiltle (using the font edwardian script) that looked like it was being written on the screen.
    I tried using the linear wipe transition, but this does not make the full effect i want.. for instance, when you make a letter "t" in cursive, you start at the bottom, then go up and then down and finally cross the "t". the wipe just went from left to right....
    thanks

    I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
    If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
    Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
    Good luck,

  • On my G5 mac at work, I am getting - don't know what to call it - looks like extraneous matrix type code around prompt windows and in applications. Sometimes I will get large shapes of colors, yellows, magentas, cyans. Anyone else experience this?

    On my G5 mac at work, I am getting - don't know what to call it - looks like extraneous matrix type code around prompt windows and in applications. Sometimes I will get large shapes of colors, yellows, magentas, cyans. Anyone else experience this?
    I will attach a recent screen shot of a print window I opened and the extra code is above and below the window. There are matrix type blocks of code and then lines under the window. I get this all the time and it is getting worse.
    Any help to get rid of it would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How do I make FF4 look like FF3.6? I want the same buttons in the same places.

    I want the FF4 UI to look exactly like my FF3.6 UI. I want the same buttons in the same places.
    I have reverted to FF3.6 until this issue is solved. I do NOT like the new UI.

  • Why do the site identity buttons not look like what you are showing on the information page?

    Just read the email about security from Firefox. I do have the identity button show up in a color, but I do not get the passport officer, nor do I get the information in the drop-down window. All I get is "Verified by: ... or "This site does not supply identity information."

    On Windows, you can switch between a classic menu bar and a compact menu opened with an orange button with the word Firefox.
    You can switch between these using one of these methods:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar and turn Menu Bar on or off
    * View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
    * orange Firefox button > Options triangle > Menu Bar
    Does that help?
    To get to the tab preferences, you can do this:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    To remove the Ask toolbar, you can go here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    You might still have to do a little cleanup after removing an extension, if it changed your home page, new tab page, search provider, etc. Please describe any remaining problems in more detail.
    Hope this helps.

  • Renewal is around the corner and I have a problem.

    Hey my name is Erik Granberg and I use Adobe Creative Cloud on PC if that helps in anyway on this matter.
    I have about 5 days before the time runs out, and that's because I did not have enough money on my account at the time. I've had a pretty hard year and because of my government rules at the moment I cannot get borrowed money transferred to my account. (It's really wierd I know..) But I can hopefully borrow through a friend and Paypal, but what I know there is no way to pay through Paypal right?
    I really don't want my subscription to end because this is basically the only thing in the world right now that doesn't suck ha-ha. It's really important to me so can you maybe "pause" my account until the end of the month or send an Paypal invoice? (I'd love to change the payday to around the end of the month instead as well)
    I have no idea what possibilities I have but if Paypal is not an options I cannot pay until the 23-25th..
    Kind Regards: Erik Granberg

    As far as I know, paypal is not an option

  • What is firefox homepage suppose to look like? A fox wrapped around blue ball or fox wrapped around blue ball with a little robot thing, on a card?ca

    Mozilla Firefox 33.0, image of the fox wrapped around blue ball and an image of what a appears to be a robot like thing with text, click me and both images appear to be on a tilted card. Is this the normal image for the homepage, it used to be just the fox wrapped on the ball.

    That '''Click Me''' game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. ''A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.''
    Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.

  • Imported RAW images badly corrupted, looks like red paint splashed all over the sky.  Photoshop and Iphoto have no problem with the images from my D800E.  Aperture worked fine for me in June with the same camera.  The Nikon software shows no problem.

    I am having a problem importing my images into Aperture 3 from my Nikon D800E.  The images appear as if red paint was splashed across the sky.  The Nikon software used to transfer from the camera does not show this problem and Photoshop 6 is fine with the images exported as jpg from the Nikon software.  Aperature does not even like the jpg images usable by Photoshop.  I am suspecting that Aperture is not correctly using the camera raw file.  Also, the histograms are radically different between the corrupted images and the Photoshop (good) versions.  Aperture worked just fine for me in June with the same camera.  All drivers and software are current as of this posting.  Anyone else out there seen this before??

    Are you sure you do not have Highlight Hot & Cold Areas turned on? (View->Highlight Hot & Cold Areas)?
    The bug in Digital Camera raw only affected Raw images. In your first post you wrote:
    Aperature does not even like the jpg images usable by Photoshop
    If the JPG's have the same problem then it isn't this bug.
