Mocha Eye Tracker | No Stupid Questions with Colin Smith | Adobe TV

No need for expensive contact lenses, we’ll show you how to use the incredible planar tracker in mocha AE to track your eyes, export them as a Mocha shape layer and apply effects in After Effects to create that “white iris of the zombie” look. Another added feature in this episode is how to use Refine Matte to control the feather, spread and choke of the mocha shape layer. This effect gives you control of how much of the original iris shows around the edge stopping the new white iris from blending into the rest of the eye.

So I've just spent 4 hours trying to figure out how you pasted the Mocha shapes into After Effects. It doesn't work for me like it did for you in the vid. One step must have been missed.
Do you highlight the relevant layer in After Effects and simply paste (edit > Paste)? Or do you "Paste mocha mask"? Perhaps you create a duplicate layer first? When do you do the ctrlshiftc precompositing? Before of after you paste?
It looks like you weren't doing things in real time (you had already done the steps) so you must have glossed over something that noobs like me would miss.
I would really appreciate it if someone please tell me the exact steps to paste the Mocha shape data into After Effects? Thanks!!!

Premiere Pro to Audition | No Stupid Questions with Colin Smith | Adobe TV

Colin’s back showing off how fantastic his Z800 workstation performs with the new Adobe 5.5 software. In this episode he shows you how to send a complete Premiere Pro sequence to a multitrack project in the new Adobe Audition 5.5. From there he shows how you can add effects to individual clips, or complete tracks with lots of built-in effects or support for VST and AU plug-ins. Once complete, this project can be send back to Premiere Pro CS5.5 or exported to OMF or Final Cut Pro XML.

When exporting to Premiere, do the Track and Clip FX get rendered along with it, or do you have to do something special first?

Introduction to SpeedGrade | No Stupid Questions with Colin Smith | Adobe TV

This is a complete walk-through of using SpeedGrade. It was originally posted on the Adobe PreRelease web site and it was so popular that we thought we'd make it available here.
http://adobe.ly/z5O7qc

This by far is the best entry level tutorial for Adobe SpeedGrade. Many thanks for a great tutorial. It was easy to follow yet concise and informative. Just a thought, I have searched high and low for information on how to "round trip" footage out of Adobe Premiere or After Effects and back into that application again. And despite my best efforts I have had no success. I have been able to make color corrections and apply looks in SpeedGrade and through trial and error, mostly the latter, been able to render files. But I don't know how to bring them back into my original timeline. Would you please help with a tutorial on the subject? Specifically, how to export a timeline from Premiere/ After Effects, apply a grade, and import the sequence back into the application with grading. Thanks in advance.

Stupid Question with javac

I am having a really hard time setting the class path to use the most updated API. The last few time I did I had to re-install my Kubunut 6.1. I don't know where to put the statments so I don't havet o type it in everytime I restart or close the window. Can some one help me out? Thanks in advanced

javac doesn't take -cp. It requires you to spell out
-classpath. java will accept either.
I've always found that annoying.Version 1.5 does
U:\>"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\javac.exe" -version
javac 1.5.0_06
javac: no source files
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
where possible options include:
-g Generate all debugging info
-g:none Generate no debugging info
-g:{lines,vars,source} Generate only some debugging info
-nowarn Generate no warnings
-verbose Output messages about what the compiler is doing
-deprecation Output source locations where deprecated APIs are used
-classpath <path> Specify where to find user class files
-cp <path> Specify where to find user class files
-sourcepath <path> Specify where to find input source files
-bootclasspath <path> Override location of bootstrap class files
-extdirs <dirs> Override location of installed extensions
-endorseddirs <dirs> Override location of endorsed standards path
-d <directory> Specify where to place generated class files
-encoding <encoding> Specify character encoding used by source files

Note that it also accepts the -version flag as well

Thanks, Mac,
Sorry I didn't see that. I guess that you can put that down as your good turn for the day, helping an old blind man across the street. Err, read the text, that is.

I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
Thanks!

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

Face and Eye Tracking with LabView and Vision

Hey all,
For my senior project I am trying to perform face tracking and eye tracking by using LabView and the Vision Development Module. Unfortunately I am new to LV and I'm drowning in a sea of links and tutorials so I was wondering if anyone here that has had experience performing similar tasks would be willing to help and point me in the right direction or provide examples. I bought two Logitech c525 webcams and hooked them up to my pc running LabView and Vision 2011. I was able to see images captured but that's as far as I've gotten with the tools. Any tips?
Thanks,
Alex.

have a look at http://sine.ni.com/cs/app/doc/p/id/cs-14116 and http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/how-to-track-face-and-allocate-lips-in-face-using-labview/td-...
This thread would also be more suited to the Machine Vision section.

Newbie to Mac, with a Stupid Question

Ok, I just bought and received my first Mac, a MacBook, two days ago (Windows Vista Victim). So far, it's going ok, but I'm still on the learning curve.
Here's my stupid question: What is the function of the four keys on the lower left corner (first row) of the keyboard? The first one says "fn", then "ctrl", then "alt/option", and then the Apple logo with another symbol. I'm sure I would get around to finding out, but a kickstart from you guys would be nice.
Thanks in advance!
Dirk in Florida
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

thats used for various reasons,
fn= on windows side fn + the volume button makes ur sound go up, down or off
ctrl=is used for editing purposes for windows platform, for example, ctrl + c = copy
Alt\options= its usually used for switching platforms on start up for example, what your computer is starting up hold options and it will ask u what to start up on
The apple button= on macintosh platform it allows you to do various short cuts (like the ctrl button on windows) for example, apple button + q = quit
Ok? if u have any other questions just ask

Probably a stupid question about cropping a video..

OK, so I shot an interview with a black background and once I went to edit it, I noticed a red object in the far right corner. Is there a way I can add black over this object or crop it out? I know this is a stupid question, but I'm new to video and editing in general so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

There are several ways to accomplish what you want.
KGCW has talked about the Crop Effect.
Depending on exactly where the object is, and whether the camera was locked down, it might be possible to duplicate your Clip, place it above your initial Clip, then offset it a bit (Motion>Position), with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and then apply the Garbage Matte to that offset duplicate, effectively Cropping out everything, but a small "patch" from the existing background. Note: if the edges of that Garbage Matte are too hard for you, you could create a soft-edged Track Matte, and use that to hold out the rest of the offset duplicate.
Another method, and depending on where, and how large the offending item is, would be to go to the Fixed Effect>Motion, and use Motion>Scale to increase the size of the Clip (do not do too much Scale, or quality will suffer). You might also need to do a bit of Motion>Position, to get that red object behind the Video's Frame Size. This will effectively Crop the object.
Good luck,
Hunt

Svn stupid question

maybe a stupid question, but after 3 hours of digging i still can't figure out what does mean that package has a -svn extension....
All because pacman is asking me if i want remove PACKAGE because it conflicts with PACKAGE-SVN...
Thanks for being so patient...

natalian wrote:svn/subversion is s version control system .. it basically tracks each update to a source tree so u can revert to a specific state for example .. pkg with -svn ,-cvs, -bzr, -etc .. is usually the most bleeding edge version of that software, i.e, it's not released yet .. therefore pkg-svn is an unreleased version of pkg ... in most cases there should be no issue so if you just need extra functionality not provided by the offially released versioin or u just wanna try it out ... then replace the offending pkg on prompt .. i'd recommend sticking to the officially released one though, -svn can be buggy .. hope that made sense
yes, thanks a lot....
So, tryng to install (in my situation) xfburn or ristretto requires some xfce pgks that are still unreleased and conflicts (of course) with the current releases... right??
well thanks a lot, i'm new to arch, but when talking about bleeding edge oriented distro, arch is really that...
sorry for my poor english...
thanks...

Really stupid question - Migrating from 6i to 11g

Hi all,
I'm a developer that have been working with oracle since Forms 3, right now I use Forms 6i and I would like to know what I need to use Forms 11g. I understand this new environment is web based, but to start developing and deploying, what I need? for example if I buy the Oracle Forms & Report 11g, I also will need the OAS? or just with Forms and Report I could deploy (somehow) the application?
Please don't flame me, I just want to understand how this works now.
Best Regards

As my old college profession used to say - "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!" Forms 11g only supports web deployment. This means you will need the OAS with the Forms and Reports Services installed as well. Typically, the setup is three tiered ( 1 server = Database, 1 server = Application Server, 1 server = Infrastructure server ). You don't have to set up the technology stack multitiered - all three could reside on the same server or you could have the all three on the same machine but is not recommended. I would at least have the database on a server seperate from OAS.
Here are a few links to get you started.
Oracle Documentation
* Check out: Development Tools - Oracle Forms, Middleware - Applications Server - Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Middleware - Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence - Oracle Reports
Since you will be upgrading from Forms 6i to 11g, be sure to visit the Oracle Forms-Upgrading Forms 6i to Forms 11g documentation.
BTW, welcome to the forums!
Craig
