Maximum generator plug-in clip time?

Ever clip that comes out of any generator plugin that I've ever used (including a slug) cannot be extended past 1:05;02. Is this a programming bug?
Final Cut Express 4.0.1

Double-click the generator clip in the Timeline to load it into the Viewer. In the Duration window, change the duration to whatever you want. Go back to the Timeline and drag the right edge of the clip to fill the duration you entered.
Alternatively you can copy and paste the clip end-to-end to fill the same duration.

Audio Generator Plug in: Click Track?

Anyone know of either an audio generator plug-in that will generate a click track, or alternatively, something that will place a series of markers in clips at specified intervals?

Well, OK, but I need the flexibility to adjust the click periodicity.
What you're suggesting is fine, so thanks Michael; but it's not going to have the adjustability I need. For each new music track I do, I have to do all the work again at a slightly different periodicity.

FCP clip time remapping / speed ramping question re realtime after changes?

Hello All,
My first post here! I tried searches for this topic but didn't find....
I wasted hours today messing with the keyframe editor to try and ramp parts of a single clip... first time using this feature and couldn't follow the manual! way too difficult to grasp without fluency in 'techygeekconfusic' lingo. Anyway, I don't think the topic was covered from what I read in my version of the manual.
So I went straight for the keyframe editor graphic display under the clip in timeframe and put in a few points with the pen tool (using time graph blue line) and seemed to be going great until I realised that the segments in the single clip (ten minutes long) that I was adjusting were affecting what came after - ie slowing down the remainder of the clip. And that was all I could get from my manual that this happened without any explanation about stopping it happen by letting the outpoint of the clip readjust automatically for the changes made to that part of clip so that altered clip would be shorter in timeline...
I then tried again from the start but noting the minus time on pentool arrow when I slid each keyframe point back and subtracting it from the duration in motion tab and that seemed to work for a while...
but God bless my little brain! what I really wanted to happen - for the blasted thing to readjust itself automatically after I had adjusted a segment of the clip so that the remaining non-adjusted part would play in realtime with a new shorter outpoint in the sequence timeline - just couldn't be realised in my little brain or in the 'user friendly' control panels of FCP.
I tried to get hold of the 'bezier' point at the end of clip and drag forward at the same rate as each change but could'nt get hold of it! I tried to put two points with pen tool at same time but couldn't isolate them from one another to create four points for adjustment without having still frames between.. blah blah.. I tried to get snapping to the pen tool points for further control but couldn't... duh!
Please! how do you do it! obviously I have limited intelligence but I need to do this now. I want to adjust the 10 minute clip (DVCproHD 720p24N format - not that this should matter as my sequence settings are same) adjust the clip at maybe 10 different places so that it ramps in speed to cover up some boring areas and then back to normal speed after the changes - not back to some slo mo **! speed.
I tried cutting with the razor tool to isolate and that didn't work either and other analogue brain type stuff ok I know you are laughing at me now but please help?!! I'm pretty new to this stuff, give me the old reliable Steenbeck and a few real bins and strips of film hanging on clothes pegs and I'll be ok...
Help will be most gratefully appreciated!!!!!!!!

Andy did a very good job explaining the underlying problem with the time remap tool.
The key thing to remember is the first and last frame are fixed in time. If you speed up the clip, time after that keyframe will have to slow down to compensate. Imagine the clip is a rubber band that has been cut so that it is a long string-like form. Now imagine anchoring each end of it with a push pin to a board. If you grab a point on the band and pull it toward one of the pins, the part of the band on the side you are pulling away from the anchor will stretch (run slower) and the side you are pulling toward will bunch up (run faster). But, when all is done, the start and end will still be at the fixed points.
The way I've worked through this is to make a general guesstimate of how long the clip will be once all the ramping is complete. For example, I want the clip to start at normal (100%) speed and ramp up to 300% and back down to 100%. I might start with a clip having a constant speed of 200% and then change it to variable and play with it. The key concept is if you can get the overall LENGTH to where it should be, the rest works out fine.
I have repeatedly asked in the FEEDBACK/New Features page that they add a toggle to the speed/time remap tools. This toggle should allow you decide whether the playback TIME for the clip should be fixed or flexible.
For example, if you were working with a 4 second clip and wish to slow it down by 50% -
If 'Maintain Time' is toggled ON, when you decrease the speed of clip by 50% - the clip will still play for 4 sec (but will show only half the total frames).
If the toggle is OFF, the 4 sec clip will now play for 8 sec and will display all the frames.
Where this concept becomes really powerful is when it's applied to time remap. If you have 'Maintain time' toggled OFF, as you adjust speed, the end point of the clip will float in time. If you increase the speed, the overall time of the clip will shrink. If you slow it down, the end point moves out in time.
We need to keep asking ...

How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine

How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine.
I want to move my itunes library from the mac HD to an external plugged into the time capsule, but I want to be sure this drive will still be backed up by time machine. I currentlly see no way to do this.

There is no way. You can connect the drive to your Mac and remove it from the Time Machine exclusion list. Then it will be backed up, but that will stop when you reconnect it to the TC. While it's connected to the TC, you can copy it manually to another AirPort Disk by following the instructions here (with a slight modification):
Using AirPort Utility to make a copy of the Time Capsule disk

Trying to hook up my time capsule. Plugged in the eithnet from the extreme over to the time capsule--then plugged in the time capsule--still in amber blinking light--went back to extreme and works fine--reset the cable modem in between but that did not f

Hoping someone can help with setting up my new time capsule. I am just switching from my extreme to the time capsule. I can not get the time capsule to go anywhere but to amber blinkiing. I can go back to the extreme and interenet works fine.
Here is what I did:
plugged in the ethernet cable from the cable modem
plugged in the time capsule power
Just cycles to amber blinking -- no internet connection
Tried pulling up the airport utility but it just shows my old extreme configuration and says that it is not supported anymore. Do not see how to display info on the flashing light.
I have gone back to the extreme three times and it seems to work fine.
I also repowered the modem in between trying to get the time capsule to work

Is this a cable modem? It has to be off for at least 20min and sometimes much longer before it will give up the old settings. You might even need to power down the cable modem overnight.
Tell us exactly what broadband you have with what ISP and exact model of modem..
The new TC cannot be setup without using the latest airport utility 6.3.1 or 6.3.2 and you need Lion - Mavericks to use it.
The computer also needs to have ipv6 setup to local link on whatever you are connecting with, wireless or ethernet.

Generate query at a time & connect two database ?

Hi
Could u help me? it is necessary that
I have two database ( RSHPL,RSPL) and both data base have same table name and same fieldname (Table Name :-OITM, Fieldname :ONHAND ,pk- ITEMcode,)
At first I tell u what I want?
I want to generate query at a time & connect two database and same table name(OITM) to select the TOTAL VALUE of this field(ONHAND) and pk-key is Itemcode.
Is it Possible? If Possible plz write this query and send me.

Hi,
I don't think its possible to write a query from within SAP that allows you to get data from another SAP database.
I have used SQL Reporting Services to report on data from multiple databases, and this works very well for many of my clients. It depends on what you want to do with the data, do you need to display it on the screen in SAP and it to a field or will a report suffice?

How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.

Problem with using View Generator Plug-in in AWM

Hi,
I have noticed that the View Generator Plug-in does not show me the Level Short Desc and Level Long Desc when I pick the fields to be written to the view. Has anybody encountered this before? I am using Oracle 10gR2
Thanks,
Bharat

Hi Bharat,
I checked my 10.2.0.3 environment and both the long and short description attributes are shown for each dimension. If you have not already done so, download the 10.2.0.3.A version of AWM and the associated "A" version of the SQL View generator from the OLAP home page on OTN.
Hope this helps

Can I automatically generate a PDF each time I close an InDesign document?

Hello. Is there any way that I can automatically generate a PDF each time I close an InDesign document? I’d appreciate any help with this at all. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Surely with JavaScript!
As for me, writing a little shortcut in 2 minutes, using QuicKeys [OSX or Windows]!
What I do [here, using InDesign CS4]:
I don't directly close the doc. I only play, e.g. here : Cmd-F7 (OSX).
Process: the doc. is saved [1] ; export to pdf [2-3-4] ; the doc. is closed [5]

Adjust clip time & date...for real?

Hello.
A couple years back I had a HD fail and on it was a few GB of video that wasn't backed up (most of the 500+ GBs were backed up, but a few weren't as it was new video that hadn't gone through the weekly backup script) and thus, when I recovered the drive, the creation date on these videos were all wrong (as they were now the date the files were recovered and not the true creation dates).
I know the dates these videos were shot though, so I used the "adjust clip time and date" option in iMovie to correct them. But, I didn't realize that iMovie didn't really correct the dates in the file, but rather must just reference a revised date somewhere within the program. Like I said, I didn't realize this...until this weekend when I moved (via iMovie) the 500+ GB of videos to a new, larger HD. Now, all of these videos have reverted back to the "creation date" with regards to the events they're now in, and when i inspect the files in Finder, I can see the creation dates are wrong (ie. they're the date they were recovered, not the date I corrected in iMovie).
So, instead of wasting my time correcting again via iMovie, only to have to do it again and again and again every time I move my library locations, I'm wondering if anyone knows a program that can correct the timestamp on video files? I know there are programs that can do this for photos, but I'm unable to find one for dealing with videos?
Thanks!
Kristin.

It depends. If you have not already started using these clips in Projects, you can create a permanent date change by renaming the clips. This has the advantage that you can see the date and time metadata as you skim the clip in either the project or the event. But if you are already using these clips in projects, renaming them would cause you to get the yellow warning flag that the link to your clip has been lost. To do it this way, rename your clip as clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext where ext is the same as the current extension.
If you need to keep the same name, A Better Finder Attributes is a good program for dating files. I have found an issue with Snow Leopard (last time I checked - may have been fixed). The issue is that Snow Leopard will not let you change the attributes illogically. I can't remember the specifics, but for example, the creation date cannot be before the drive was manufactured - that kind of thing. Snow Leopard will not let me date a file in the 1950's. It changes it back every time.

IDOC generated a very long time

Dear all,
what reason will cause that IDOC generated a very long time ?
My own thinking is this due to one instance's update processes are all running, 'update are all running' is due to 'high lock entries in SM12',
but I don't know how to check what caused 'high lock entries in SM12'.
When I confirm with user about the lock entries in SM12 that users reply they are running some reloated article in system but very slow, so I cannot delete the lock entries also cannot cancel the update process.
so who can tell me which reasons will cause large lock entries in SM12 ?
how to resolve it and avoid it happened again ?
how to find the root cause for large lock entries ?
Best Regards,
Michael

Please note: Figure 4 (isosurfaces) can be very slow to load in Adobe Reader for Apple Mac OS X. Sometimes it can take up to 2 minutes ... please be patient!
It is not _so_ slow for me, but still is.
http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/gallery/sphericalharmonic.pdf is also not so fast to load.
Some of my models, where I had to use lots of per-triangle materials to achieve smooth color and transparency demonstrated this problem (but they also did not view exactly _fine_, they made my MacBook noisy due to increase in fan activity ; ).

You likely first configured the AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network" using wireless only, correct?
If yes, you cannot then connect the AirPort Express using Ethernet....that will crash your network.
The Express must be configured to "create a wireless network". AirPort Utility will do this for you automatically, but you will first need to perform a Factory Default Reset or Hard Reset on the AirPort Express and then start over with the configuration again.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Express before you open AirPort Utility. Post back if you need more tips on how to set this up.
