Marker Keys Expression, how about the last key

Hi, if you have dabbled in expressions you probably have already found how nifty the expression
thisLayer.marker.nearestKey(time);   is. I first used it to put XMP metadata on the screen.
I also tend to use it for changing text instead of the source property since it's easy to see the text,
where it's at and so forth.
I've read the manual, but haven't found anything like:
thisLayer.marker.lastKey(time);
What I would like is for whatever property I am using from the last keyframe to remain the value until it reaches
the next keyframe.
Anyone know how that might be done?

Mylenium, You and your site have been more than helpful to me. It's people like you that make any community worth it's while.
Adobe should put a larger than life statue of you in the center of San Jose, or at least give you like free vacations to hawaii or something :-)
If you are ever in my neck of the woods I'm buying
I have a project I am supposed to turn over to other studios so they can use it as a template. Rather than have them dig around through layers to change titles and stuff, I am putting all the keyframes into a configuration composition and having all the other layers take their cues from it.  Never tried to do anything like that before but it's actually looking like a nice solution and an easy way to set up timing and text through all the compositions just by opening one and editing. I think the extra work and the extra expressions will pay off as the project gets used over and over.
Again Thanks, can't wait to get into the studio monday and try this out.

  • Get more info about the last errors in Oracle

    Hi all,
    There is a log in a live system where it is possible to see every minute the following error:
    Sweep Incident[48073]: failed, err=[1858]
    I know that error can happen mainly when:
    1. Trying to insert caracter field in a numeric column
    2. Using in the wrong way the function to_date()
    I need more information about that error, what can be causing the error in the system and why. Is it possible to see more information about the last errors in Oracle? For example, if a query produces an error... is it possible to see in Oracle the error and the query that caused the error?
    Hope you can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Niall.
    I'm not sure if I got you...
    What I found is that MMON makes snapshots of the database 'health' and stores this information in the AWR. So, it seems like in the database there could be a numeric column that is storing character fields, and when MMON works, it finds that error... is that right?

  • HT201301 how about the Chinese language doc. Able to use with the My Lyric Book program?

    how about the Chinese language doc. Able to use with the My Lyric Book program?

    I'm not sure where you see that the links I gave suggested that. The iPhoto link (quoted below) in step 4 suggests dragging the library to the new location. You can do that in Finder by dragging the library to the external disk in the Finder sidebar. If you don't have a sidebar in Finder, go to the Finder View menu and click Show Sidebar. If the external disk isn't visible in the sidebar, go to the Finder Preferences, click Sidebar at the top of the Preferences window, and put a checkmark in front of External disks in the Devices section.
    You can move your entire iPhoto library to a different computer, a hard disk, or another location on your computer.
    Important:    Before you move your iPhoto library, it’s a good idea to back it up to a DVD or external hard disk.
    Move your iPhoto library
    If you’ve created multiple photo libraries, be sure to move only the library currently displayed when iPhoto is open. To move a different library, you first need to switch to it.
    Quit iPhoto.
    In the Finder, choose your home folder (it’s usually named after you).
    Open the Pictures folder (in the home folder) to locate the iPhoto Library file.
    Drag the iPhoto Library file to a new location on your computer.
    Open iPhoto.
    In the window that appears, select the library you want, and then click Choose.

  • How show the last record by date

    Hi Gurus,
    i got in the cube the next records for example:
    calday                  Material    Quantity
    01.01.2011             A                 10
    15.01.2011             A                  20
    if i present in the query these IO an KF the query will show these 2 records, now i want just show the last record by date
    calday                  Material    Quantity
    15.01.2011             A                  20
    i tried in the query with a calculate KF with exception aggregation , MAX with Reference to calday , but this still show both records... how can i do it? help gurus.

    Hello,
    If there are sales occuring for the material on two different dates and you include date in there will be always two records.
    I dont understand the need to show the last transaction. Anyways if you still need that you need to remodel the backend.
    Put a DSO on the cube with date in the data field, this will always overwrite the value for the key combination you need.
    Then you can return on this DSO.

  • On down loading a file the download windo appears but does not liost any files. The same happens under Thuinderbird. Has appied for about the last 2 or 3 weeks. I have the latest upgrades as of 8/18.

    When I down load a file the down loads window opens but no files are listed there. (This also happens under Thunderbird). I have updated both T'bird and Firefox in the last couple of weeks. The download window was working ok , say, about 3 weeks ago. About then I cleared an existing lsit of files. Since then, nothing is shown even tho I have downloaded a few files.

    alternitive soltuion:
                    I have finally figured this out.
                    The VMM service runs under the Local System account, I changed it to use the domain account I logged in with. I also had to change the SQL service account to use the same domain account the VMM service runs under.
    Prior to performing the above actions, I modified the certificate in MMC > Certificates to not use the Smart Card option from the users profile. Shown below. To make this modification. Follow these steps.
    1.       Open MMC
    2.       Open > File > Add/Remove Snap-ins
    3.       Select Certificates, and click Add (ensure Current – User is selected)
    4.       Click OK
    5.       Navigate to > Personal > Certificates
    6.       Double click on the user Cert
    7.       Select the Details Tab, > click the Edit Properties
    8.       Select “Enable only the following purposes
    9.       Uncheck Smart Card Logon
    After the above actions was performed, I then modified the service account the VMM and SQL service was using to use a domain account, and things started working.

  • "Don't import duplicates" and question about the Last Import folder

    *THE CLIP IMPORTING (TO IMOVIE) PROCESS*
    Ever since the last time I uploaded clips and made movies with them, I have shot new footage. I never erased the clips that were in the Sanyo VPC-HD2000A.
    This morning I uploaded the clips to my iMovie '11, including image stabilization. (Bypassed iPhoto '11 completely, on purpose.)
    What caused me concern while the clips were uploading is that there were no prompts about +"only new clips, no duplicates"+ to be imported. There was one set of options saying "Importing checked, or Import checked," but the problem was that I saw nowhere that any of the clips in the box (I will call it the Sanyo Box) could be checked. Selected, yes, but checked, no. I tried to select all of the newly shot footage, but that was impossible. It was only possible to select one clip at a time.
    I did not interrupt the file transfer because I did so once last month and it caused me problems.
    I ended up with 36 files uploaded and imported.
    *THE EVENT LIBRARY LAST IMPORT FOLDER*
    _In the iMovie '11 Events Library, the Last Import folder contains clips that were uploaded last month to iMovie. If I am to understand the label, "Last Import" does not mean, "And also stuff from a previous import."_
    I realize that having duplicates of clips can be solved by deleting clips, but I really want to know what is going on and also what ought to be going on. Shouldn't the Last Import folder contain only those clips that are in the most recent upload?
    And why was there no prompt for all duplicates to be disregarded and not imported?
    Did I possibly bollix up the preferences in my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A and did I accidentally tell it not to ask whether or not I want to import duplicates?
    I can see that someone could say, "Make sure you delete all old clips before you shoot new footage," but that is an "of course." I need to know what happens when you keep clips in the camera and want to import only the new clips.
    -L

    No.
    In LR3 it would ALWAYS pick up the duplicates if I inserted a card I'd just imported.
    With no change to my workflow I'm now having instances of the same files being imported multiple times.

  • How about the Graphic Performance?

    Hello all!
    May someone can help me to get that clarified ...
    I have a MacMini with Thunderbolt connection. Latley I started to use RC Flight simulator which challenges the video card of my MacMini pretty much.
    How about a Thunderbolt Display? Will TB just "substitute" my current HDMI-Connection or will some computing power be "outsourced" to the display? In other words: will the graphic performance of my MacMini improve using a TB-Display or does it stay the same because the build in video card is still "in charge"?
    Thx for your help!

    No question the Thunderbolt is without doubt a fantastic display, however to answer your question I'm personally experiencing a performance drop (see my very recent thread in this forum).
    One of my reasons for finally getting the Thunderbolt Display was to enjoy some proper gaming on a big screen for 3D games both within OS X and Bootcamp. Even when I match my MacBook Pro 17" unibody's (early 2011) top resolution with the Thunderbolt Display for a like for like comparison, I get a performance drop which I was hoping would never happen. I was hoping that with the MacBook Pro in closed 'clamshell' and thus the MacBook Pro switching it's own display 'off' and presumably diverting all of the GPU's performance power straight to the Thunderbolt Display via it's direct fast Thunderbolt bus; that it would at the very very least match the performance when using the MacBook Pro's own display, but currently I have to choose the 'very low' graphics setting on some games to maintain a decent frame-rate for smooth game play.
    Mybe this is not a permanent Thunderbolt Display problem/fault and might be resolved at some point by means of a software, display driver or display/thunderbolt/GPU firmware update. If that be the case then I'll know there's hope at the end of the tunnel. Understandably I wasn't expecting my MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 to perform miracles with it's graphics performance anyhow, but it's 1GB Graphics adapter isn't all that bad either and is a half decent card that can give acceptable results. But If you where to match the resolution of the Thunderbolt Display to that of the MacBook Pro for comparison for yourself and then run a 3D game like say 'Dirt 2', you will soon realise there are slight performance issues; unless of course I'm doing something wrong.
    Here's hoping this may only be a temporary drawback for the Thunderbolt Display with 3D applications/gaming.

  • Porting out, how will the last bill workout?

    Looking to port out soon. I know my EFT is $320. But not sure of what the final plan charges will be. My bill just posted, and my billing cycle starts on the 3rd of the month. How does Verizon handle the last bill. Is their any prorating? Should I pay this bill or wait for the final bill? Thanks!

    budney, I regret to hear your considering canceling service. Leiko27, thanks for the information,  your correct. If your under contract and you call to request cancellation of service, the cancellation will not occur within the system until the end of your current bill cycle. Your final bill will have your early termination fee listed.
    Additionally, budney I would like to know why your canceling and review any options so that you can stay with our wireless family. I will send you a private message so that we can discuss your account in further detail. We truly do not want to loose you as a customer and want to make sure you are happy with your service. Your important to us and we value you as a customer.

  • How about the statement of regular expression like for this

    I what to get varians String array by one regular express for the statement like:
    ${user} like play ${game} in ${date}
    I want to get String[] as {"user","game","date"} by one regex, by str.split(regex). I tried many times but always fail to get the result I expected. May it be possible to meet the destination?
    thanks in advance
    Frederick

    why StringBuffer was using here?So one could split the pattern into multiple lines. But it just occurred to me that one could just use string concatenation, which would look better. I don't know why I bothered to use StringBuffefer.
    e.g.:
    String pattern =
        "^" +           // the start of a string
        "(dog)|(cat)" + // match either "dog" or "cat" at the start of the line
        "\\s*" +        // match an arbitrary amount of whitespace
        "$";            // but don't allow anything other than whitespace after dog or cat
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile(pattern);
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^(dog)|(cat)\\s*$");> isn't this look more simpler and better?
    In this case, yes. I was looking for a way to make regexps more explicit, with whitespace and comments, for more complicated cases.
    But those double quotes and plus signs add ugliness of their own, so a regexp would have to be pretty complex before it would be an improvement.

Maybe you are looking for
