Matching movement with foreground and background

I have a hot o someone speaking lines that wasn't shot on a tripod, in front of a green screen. The background is a still picture. I'm trying to get the background to shift whenever the actor does so h matches his environment. The tracker seems to be having trouble because other than the subject, there is nothing in the shot for the trackers to reference. It seems to be tracking him fine but when I apply the tracking data to the background, it flies around wildly when the subject moves his head. I've tried using the older tracker, just using position and scale, and I've tried using the 3D tracker. I feel like this should be fairly simple. Any other information needed I will gladly supply. Thanks in advance!

The head doesn't move that much more than the rest of his body, the trouble was mostly that he shakes his head a little bit. That's when the background would go nuts. I can get a perfect track from his head. There were two different points that stuck really well. His nostril and (even better) his ear lobe. I couldn't get anything below his neck (or the neck itself) that I could track. Here's a screenshot of the scene.
I'm going to try the route with the null layer, I had forgotten about that option. As far as the video that you posted goes, is that supposed to have audio with it? That's the only thing that made it really hard to follow. I'm going to keep plugging away to see if I can get this to work. I'll be back either with more questions or to mark this answered. Thanks for the help!

Stuck with Foreground and Background processing in Workflow

Hi All,
I have a BDC that is acting as a method in the Business Object. The requirement is something like this: The scenario is in the Utilities System. When a customer pays a security deposit a PM (Plant Maintanence) Service Order has to get created automatically in the background. I have a BDC for creating the Service Order but the thing is that if I make that task which runs the BDC as foreground and give the agent assignment it works absolutely fine and the service order gets generated, but if I make the same task as background the Service Order does not get created. I am heavily stuck with this issue.
Has anybody encountered the same issue ?
Best Regards,
Sudhi

Sudhindra,
Are you checking for errors after the BDC Call Transaction? What I normally do is to use the Messages into option of the BDC call and return the messages to the Task Container in case of errors.
Reasons why the method does not work in background is possibly due to authorizations or the WF-BATCH user being not known to the PM system. For instance when I create PM notifications in WF in background, I have to translate the WF initiator's user id to their Personnel Number for the Resp. Person field. If in your workflow the prior step to creating order is a dialog step, you can also try the Advance with dialog option on the background step.

How to see the foreground and background colour without those sliders?

I've always found the Color Panel really annoying. A lot of space is taken up by those sliders, and I hardly ever use them.
Is there some way to hide the sliders, or—better still—put the foreground & background colours on the control panel? Shouldn’t the colours be on the control panel by default, always there in the corner?
I wonder how most people view the foreground and background colour? Does Adobe seriously expect users to have the large Color Panel constantly displayed (along with its rarely-used sliders), or perhaps we’re all expected to have the Tools Panel constantly open even though it only contains basic tools that most people know the shortcuts for?
Or is there some other way to see the foreground and background colours?
Or do most users not need to know what the foreground and background colours are?

Too big, i guess you don't remember the color palettes from ps 1 and ps 2.
You might want to look at configurator to make a smaller panel that just shows the
foreground/background color chips.

New photoshop cc seems to have a bug wrt the toolbar's foreground and background squares.

New photoshop cc seems to have a bug wrt the toolbar's foreground and background squares. When I pick a color to use as a fill the squares show gray and the fill is gray rather than the color picked. Never had a problem with this in previous version of PS. Could something be set up or initialized to cause this state of affairs?

Change your document from Grayscale to RGB, or change the selected channel to the RGB data instead of a mask.

BDC program in Foreground and Background

Hi,
I have a requirement from client to write a BDC program which can upload the data in TABLES in foreground and background. There will be a flag for FOREGROUND on the screen, if user clicks the FOREGROUND FLAG then data should be uploaded in foreground and if flag is blank than should be in background. What statements should I used to accomplish this logic in a BDC program.
Thanks.

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

If there is an item in there drag it out.

How do I change the contrast between foreground and background in CS4 workspace menus?

Everyone at my agency who has upgraded from CS3 to CS4 is dismayed to discover that they can not read any tabs on the workspace except the highlighted one. The foreground and background colors are simply too close together for anyone who doesn't have very good eyesight to use 8 hours a day, and if you have any form of color blindness, just forget it. Is there any way to change the foreground and background colors in the workspace itself?

I don't believe it's possible. It would be like altering the ribbon in Office 2007 to make it work like Office 2003. This is a built-in function and from the upcoming betas in the Labs it appears they are going to continue this trend. Only thing I can really suggest you do is submit a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Outside of that there is not much you can do.
One other thing has come to mind but it only works for the document area and not other menus. Instead of opening documents in the tabs in one window you can click on Window at the top and choose Cascade to view each file in its own window and go back to Expose for fast-switching between windows.

How to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?

Hello all,
I am just starting to study the sdk (Mac CC). Currently, I am seeking the answer to change foreground and background color using CC SDK?
Is it possible to do so? In addition, will the Image Mode such as RGB, CYMK or Grayscale be effecting such solution?
Thanks in advance.

These are NOT dropdown menus. They are dropdown LISTS.
http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo1/Drop_DownMenus.html
And from the links in the Google search you can learn that a list item has no style.
And a dropdown list behaves differently from dropdown menus. Here's how it looks on Mobile Safari :

Exchange Messages Between Foreground and Background Tasks

I'm working on an Application where I use background task for handling Bluetooth communication. For that, I'm trying to exchange messages between foreground and background tasks when the Bluetooth device sends
something and want to notify the foreground about it. Similarly, I want the foreground to send messages to background when the user activates something. I've started doing that using event handlers but it is not reliably working. Looks like the problem is
coming from the synchronization between these two tasks. I found the class BackgroundMediaPlayer which does what I really want , except controlling the media player. What are the options of doings that?

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your reply. So in this case, I guess each process shall keep reading the file and see if there are commands to be processed. Is there a way to raise an event when the content of the file get changed? Are there existing file handling classes
that support this?

Re emmitters and match move with SLOW smoke

I am trying to put some smoke into far distance chimneys, and the background is pan moving.
If I use match move, I don't get the same floating gently upwards effect that I get if its stationery. How can I pan and yet achieve the same effect. Otherwise it looks like an extremely windly day and the smoke is billowing in the same match move as the background, yet I want the smoke to come out of the stack and move with the pan.
Also I cant seem to get an extremely slow speed for the smoke to emitt, even with speed on 1... and loads of other tweeking i.e low birth long liffe...its still a bit too fast. Any tricks and advice please..???

Glad you solved your problem... There are ways to improve Motion's interactive performance.
1) If you're using Ram Preview, clear it periodically.
2) Keep your render quality at Draft or Good until the very end.
3) Text is especially draining of resources in Motion 3. Turn off layers you've finished with to improve performance while you work in other areas.
4) Definitely turn off Timeline and Layer thumbnails.
5) Don't have any layer selected when playing - the thumbnail for the Inspector Tab has to be generated when you stop.

Using Match Move with a filter?

I have a png of a magnifying glass. I want to create the cliché magnifying glass moving over type effect, bulging accordingly. The Bulge filter gives me the right look. But how do I get the magnifying glass and Bulge filter center to move together? I've tried Match Move, but all the type moves as well as the Bulge center. I've tried animating the Bulge center and copy/pasting its XY coordinates to the magnifying glass Group. Neither works.
Brain hurt. Help please.

Howdy,
You want to use the Track parameter behavior which—like other parameter behaviors—can be applied to any animatable parameter, such as the Bulge filter's centerpoint. There's even a handy shortcut: just right-click on the filter's centerpoint control in the Canvas, and you should see a popup menu appear with "Track" in it. Selecting that will apply Track and connect it to the centerpoint for you. You'll still need to pick a tracking target, etc, but it sounds like you already know to do that bit.

I have footage that needs to be green screened. One of the cameras zoomed and panned, is there anyway to lock foreground and background so the motion is consistent

I shot two cameras for green screen editing but one of the operators zoomed and panned so the key is good but when the camera zooms it looks like the subjects are floating, any idea how to synchronize the foreground to background
Video Gal

I think you will need the camera tracker effect in AfterEffects, It would be best to ask in their forum.

Cannot load movie with subtitles and export in QuickTime 10 / Os X Lion

Since Os X Lion, when trying to load a movie (DivX) in QuickTime 10 at the same time that the related subtitles file (.srt) is in the same folder as the movie, QT 10 suggests to use QT 7. QT 10 cannot load the movie with subtitles (in Snow Leopard everything was OK). Q& 7 is useless too because it cannot export movies to another format.
Anybody has a solution for this? Thanks for your help!

I do this because Perian don't work with QT10 on Mac OS X Lion:
-Try to open .avi movie with QT 10;
-OS X ask you to open on QT 7;
-Donwload QT 7 and install it. It will be installed on "Utilities";
-Download Perian but don't install it;
-Mount Perian, and click "Show Package Contents"
-Go to "Contents"->"Resources"->"Components"->"CoreAudio" and copy to Desktop "A52Codec.zip" and unzip it;
-Go to"Contents"->"Resources"->"Components" and copy to Desktop "Perian.zip" and unzip it;
-Go to "Contents"->"Resources"->"Components"->"CoreAudio"->Quicktime" and copy to Desktop "AC3MovieImport.zip" and unzip it;
-Then copy all packages with ".component" extention to /Library/Quicktime/;
-Then you can run all movies on QT 7.
Or,
-Install MPlayerX;
Or,
-Install VLC;
Or,

Playing movie with subtitles and without

Total newbie at making a film with subtitles and at using DVD Studio Pro
The person creating the subtitles did it in FCP and I just opened her project and then laid it on my video. Question is - how can I burn the DVD with the options of English only or with subtitles.
Do I need to have two movies imported into DVD Studio, one with subtitles another not (it's only a 30 minute video, so that's not a problem to fit on a DVD).
Or is there another way to handle it in DVD Studio?
thanks

Typically you would NOT have subs on your footage, but would add them to DVDSP as a separate file. You can create subtitles inside DVDSP but if you do there is no flexibility in manipulating them later.
Workflow is to create the footage in FCP, then to use that in a subtitler app to spot the speech and create the subs, then import the footage and the subs file into DVDSP.
As for setting it up in DVDSP, have a look here:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/dvd_sp2subtitles.html
and here for slightly more complexity:
