Modifying the Inspector in Logic 8

It appears the default in Logic 8 is to have 2 faders always showing in the Inspector in the arrange page.
Is there a setting for only one fader to be showing?

Nope.
It shows the selected track's channel, and the channel that it feeds to.

In Logic Pro, trying to import a drum track from the bin to arrange area, the 'follow loop' box does not appear in the inspector

imported a drum track from bin to arrange area. It will not follow tempo of the project even though it was recorded in this project. The 'follow tempo' box in the inspector does not appear even though it is present on other tracks in the file.
how do I set up the track so the 'follow tempo' box appears in the inspector?

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

Modify the logical operator in an Expression

Hi,
How to alter an Operator ("LIKE" to "EQUAL") inside an Expression already built - before execution ?
Let me explain my problem :
I have a central Toplink Adapter class which is responsible for executing all Expressions passed from different modules.
Each module is passing an Expression object to this Adapter.
There is a DeletionStatus column in almost all the tables whose value could be "Y" or "N".
Almost all Expressions append (through AND) this DeletionStatus column checking the value to "Y" or "N".
The problem here is the subordinates while building the Expression have used LIKE operator many places on this DeletionStatus column rather than EQUAL (or EQUALS).
My objective now is to regulate within the adapter class that EQUAL/s to be used to improve performance.
Sitting in the Adapter class...after accepting the Expression object as a parameter...how can i alter the Expression(/query) such that if the DeletionStatus column is part of the Expression built...then modify the Operator to be EQUAL/s only and not LIKE.
Seamlessly.....irrespective of the Operator used by the subordinates....the Adapter always executes with EQUALS operator thereby improving on the performance of SQL execution.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,

I would think you would be best off change the code that is using like() and change it to equal() instead of leaving this code incorrect, and trying to mung it elsewhere.
If you really want to mung it, you could walk the Expression tree and look for LIKE and the field and switch the operator of the RelationExpression.

The Problems With Logic (as I see them) - PART TWO!

Hello again,
It seems to be a tradition now that as I compose on a track, I keep a text editor open so that I can jot down all the annoyances and problems that I encounter during my creative process... Anyone who missed the previous edition of this topic, please visit PART ONE, here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3605456#3605456
That said, here I give you "The Problems With Logic Part II":
1. Logic should clear the playback buffer everytime you play. Quite often you start playing and there is trailing reverb/note events from various audio instruments and plug-ins.
2. The sample edtor "save selection as" has no memory of where you previously were in the file browser.
3. If you double click on a wave form, the sample editor opens up with the wave form you double clicked on... Great.. But now, if you go and double click on another wave form somewhere, it just takes you back to the sample editor with the same previous wave form selected (not great). This is incredibly annoying if you are attempting to save out certain edits-- Quite often you will end up saving 5 or 6 of the same exact waveform, thinking you were saving each individual one. GRR!
4. Key commands.. if you try to assign a key command to something that is already used by another feature, you are presented with a window warning you that it already exists.. If you click cancel, then you can no longer enter any keys in the key field.. You are forced to close the key commands preferences window and start over.
5. Key command window: You should be able to search by command.. For example, if I want to find out what "o" is assigned to, I should be able to search by O-- Further, you should be able to sort the key commands by clicking the column titles "key", "command" -- or "midi"... After all, we can sort by name, date, size, etc in the finder by clicking on these column titles.
6. Tempo Tap feature-- I am quite confused by this. There should be a simple way to tap and define a tempo. When ever i try to do this, the tempo is only temporarily changed until I stop playing, and most of the time I get error alerts about trying to sync audio and midi (mind you, when there are absolutely no parts in the entire arrange window). The manual states that with "tempo recording" checked on the tempo interpreter window, that the taps will record tempo changes, but this does not work. I tried doing this, tapping the key command I defined to tempo tap (ctrl-shift-t), and I was tapping at various speeds-- many taps fast.. and Logic recorded tempos of 99-101bpm.. I was tapping atleast around 175-180bpm. I then tried tapping slowing, and Logic recorded tempos of 99-101 again... so this feature obviously is full of bugs.
7. When loading songs, as soon as various plugins such as Kontakt, exs24 begin loading samples, it brings logic to the front. If you're working in the background in other applications while waiting for your songs to load, you are rudely interrupted from what you're doing (such as, selecting from a menu, typing a document, etc) only to be forced to watch a status bar fill up.. and then all key presses at that point become error beeps.
8. Logic's sample memory easily becomes messed up and crazy. Quite often when using AU instruments such as BFD, Culture, and even Synthogy's Ivory. I will switch to that particular track to play on my keyboard, and each sample will be full of horrible pops and clicks-- the kind that destroy speakers. Other times, in a sample of a string for instance, all of a sudden after one second will be a pop and then the sample will be playing at a completely different pitch... I have to remove the AU instrument and reload it at this point.. This happens quite often. Logic should offer a 'buffer reset' so that you can just flash plugins but they reload whatever preset they were set to.
9. Volume faders resolution are lame! There is no reason why you shouldnt be able to access +1.0, +1.1, +1.2, +1.3, +1.4, +1.5, +1.6, +1.7, +1.8, +1.9... Further the display is only so wide and you can't even read the decimal values for numbers -10 and lower. They just appear as 10.
10. When a movie is open, and you are viewing the video output via FIREWIRE, there is a mini-floating window which contains the smpte, position, and movie start information-- However you cannot modify any of these values. You have to switch video output back to "WINDOW" to change the start position of the movie. This is obviously a bug.
11. Changing the movie's start time is very user unfriendly. There should be a simple way to specify to start at a moment of time relative to SMPTE-- So you can just say "+9:15" for example, and it would take you in 9 minutes and 15 seconds, rather than how it is now where you have to think backwards from SMPTE code and subtract.
12. You cannot view video as a window AND output to firewire. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do this. For example, if I wanted to output my video to a monitor in a vocal booth-- I can do this.. but I can't see what the vocalist is seeing on my own screen! This is just nonsense. You should be able to output to the screen (desktop mode or floating window) as well as an external firewire device.
13. Saving a song with a movie open should mean that when you load that song, the movie should be up and exactly as it was prior to saving. As it is now you have to select "open movie again".
14. There is still definitely a bug in track automation-- this was really bad back in version 4, but there is still something not quite right here where starting playback will not always guarantee that the automation data is being read.. And in my experiences it results in volumes being incorrect until you stop and play again, and in some cases it will not work at all unless you plot some automation points. This is an intermittent issue-- but quite often activated by placing an audio region from the audio window on a track (SEE VIDEO).

15. In the arrange window, sometimes when zoomed in tightly, all parts on a track are selected, and you think that only the part that you are looking at is selected.. you move this part, and now all of your parts are off. Logic should have some kind of visual aid to let you know when ever you are moving multiple selections... Something like, the parts you are moving will highlight a dfferent color or something... This is a similar problem I have with the loop area of the screen.. You can accidentally turn it on when in the matrix window, and have no idea unless you look down at the transport, but with me for example, my transport is at the very bottom of the screen and I am not looking there most of the time.
16. Automation data, when two points are semi-close to each other, suddenly the value of the data is no longer shown.. I can understand that when you are zoomed out, and there is simply no space for this to visually appear, that's appropriate. But as it is now, it doesn't display this information when there is plenty of space for it to be visible.
17. Logic should let you set audio track inputs to the various outputs (1-2, 3-4, etc) and buses.
18. clicking on a track selects ALL parts. This is so so so annoying. How many times have I been editing voice over, and selecting a track, thinking I am shrinking the length of a part, and to find that ALL parts have been shrunk.. SO ANNOYING!!!! This needs to not happen, and there should be a simple way to right-click a track and it will have an option "select all regions"... also, when you click on a track and all parts are selected, if you horizontally zoom, logic zooms into the beginning of the track, rather than the song locator. I don't know what the LOGIC behind this is, but it's not very helpful, it actually is very frustrating.. Zooming should always move towards the song locator position.
19. EXS 24 should have a "reverse/backwards" button so that samples played are backwards.
20. Logic should offer a way to globally increase or decrease a specific automation type (especially volume) globally for all tracks... So if you have detailed crescendos that start at -3.8 and end at +1.6, you can add 3db to this and it will now be at 0.8 and end at 4.6.
21. If you have multiple tracks of the same track (such as three Audio track #1's)-- say you are recording guitar parts, and just copying the track and muting the previous track as a method of maintaining multiple takes for later auditioning. If you draw automation volume data on this track (it appears on all 3 tracks), and then if you delete the audio from one of the muted tracks and tell logic to KEEP it, suddenly all automation data is gone. GRR!!!
22. Several times I have opened Kontakt, and attempted to load an instrument while outputting a movie via firewire video to my monitor. As soon as I try to load the instrument, the firewire video output on my monitor goes crazy, and then comes back on.. Logic then crashes. This has happened 3 times randomly...
23. UNDO does not work on every function. for example, if you change an output to bus 1 instead of 1-2, you cannot undo this. Undo should undo whatever the last command was, no matter what it was. This is what the word LOGICal is supposed to represent.
24. Floating windows (as in plugin windows) should close with apple-w!!!
25. *BUG* If you are in a part that is say 10 measures long, zoom in horizontally 100% in the matrix window-- You then isolate one specific quarter note pitch in the middle of this measure, and have cycle turned on, looping over this one quarter note, if you are not looking at this note event/loop region when you hit play, the display will jump to the beginning of the part and never show you this note event as it loops. However if you have the note event on screen when you hit play, then it will behave properly. This makes it extremely difficult and frustrating to perform detailed hyper-draw work. (SEE VIDEO)
WATCH VIDEO OF THIS BUG:
http://collinatorstudios.com/www/logicbugs/logicloopbug.mov
26. *BUG* Host Automation is not accurate. I assigned Kontakt's tune knob to C#000, and If I place a dip, the knob begins to move way before the automation data is even present.... So basically what I was trying to do, can't even be accomplished because Logic screws everything up by pitching the instrument too early... Such a shame.. By the way, I previously mentioned the importance of being able to display part data in the arrange window as matrix data (horizontal lines) rather than score data. Someone argued what good this would do-- Well this is a perfect example, if I am attempting to affect a particular section of a note with automation, I can't possible visually see where this is because the length is not described by the current score representation. Having a horizontal representation would solve this problem... (SEE VIDEO)

27. There should be a way to convert stereo samples to mono in the sample editor.
28. When you view "as text" in the environmentt, you cannot drag an object to the arrange window-- Such as to create a bus track.. Now mind you I don't know why you can't just select "BUS" when editing a track in the arrange window in the first place, however there is no reason why 'view as text' should behave differently than when it's viewed as icons.
29. When you drag a bus from the environment to the arrange window, it replaces whatever track was there. It should ADD a track instead of replace-- atleast there should be a preference for how this behaves.
30. Occasionally when dragging a bus from the environment, there is some visual garbage in the track automation (see screenshot).
31. There should be a way to LOAD and SAVE selections in the arrange window. Quite often when editing audio from a countless number of parts/regions, it becomes painful when you have to select and move 100s of audio files. There should be a way that you can just select a ton of regions and save that selection, and reload it at anytime. There are a few 'select' tools/options under the edit window, however they are song specific-- not track specific. So they are completely usesless for what I need.
32. Logic should offer a feature to collect sysex data from midi devices so that patch names show up and can be selected via program change.
33. When no track or part is selected, and you vertically zoom in, Logic should zoom into the center most track.. It behaves very oddly and zooms in more towards the top. This becomes extremely annoying when dealing with a sequence involving 100 tracks, and a part is selected but you scroll far below where the part is.. When you begin to zoom in, it takes you towards the selected part, yet it's not displayed on the screen and you have no reference for what you are even looking at. The rule should be this: If the part is on the screen, zooming vertically will bring you to it. If it's off the screen, you will zoom into the center track of whatever is currently on the screen.
34. I mentioned this in a thread earlier... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=752485&tstart=0
There is a bug when using the transform tool involving the 'position' variable. In my example, I was attempting to reverse the time placement of three chords, that occured in a part somewhere in the middle of my song. By selecting the measure start and end of this part, Logic was unable to select or operate with the transform tool (and I tried a variety of transform options). If I moved this part to the beginning of the song, then the transform tool would suddenly work. After some research, I found online someone had said "Position Time position of the event, referenced to the start of the MIDI Region (not of the song)."--- But if I still doubt this is true, because I then placed the part on a new track with no other data, and placed it in the middle of the sequence and in the transform tool under position I selected '1 1 1 1' to '5 5 5 5' as well i tried setting the position to 'all', and none of this worked. This obviously is a bug... If it's not then it's a very serious design flaw. The position should relate to measure numbers of a song, and nothing else.

That is all for now...
For those who firmly agree with me and all of the points that I have brought up now and in the past, I encourage you to contact Peggie Louie, (the Logic HR department contact) at (408) 996-1010 and suggest that she hire me as a consultant to help eliminate Logic's many annoyances. I have tried to pursue this heavily in the past, but sadly I was completely ignored by her on all levels. Maybe you all can help make a difference?

11. Changing the movie's start time is very user
unfriendly. There should be a simple way to specify
to start at a moment of time relative to SMPTE-- So
you can just say "+9:15" for example, and it would
take you in 9 minutes and 15 seconds, rather than how
it is now where you have to think backwards from
SMPTE code and subtract.
For this one I'd suggest getting SMPTE calculator. Entering timecode numbers and having to add and subtract is not so difficult, and AFAIC part of a composer's gig. But what I would add, instead, is that it would be fantastic if Logic provided a timecode calculator (edit: even if it was in the form of a custom Logic widget).
13. Saving a song with a movie open should mean that
when you load that song, the movie should be up and
exactly as it was prior to saving. As it is now you
have to select "open movie again".
This doesn't always happen. I've struggled with this for a long time, and I don't know why sometimes the movie will load and not other times. I would also add here that Logic should show the file pathname to the movie. Somewhere...
18. clicking on a track selects ALL parts. This is
so so so annoying.
You can prevent this from happening if you have cycle turned on and set to a set of locators that "contain" the parts you might want to select en masse. I always work with cycle=on so this is not a problem.
21. If you have multiple tracks of the same track
(such as three Audio track #1's)-- say you are
recording guitar parts, and just copying the track
and muting the previous track as a method of
maintaining multiple takes for later auditioning. If
you draw automation volume data on this track (it
appears on all 3 tracks), and then if you delete the
audio from one of the muted tracks and tell logic to
KEEP it, suddenly all automation data is gone.
GRR!!!
Never had that happen. In my experience, telling Logic to keep the data always works.
23. UNDO does not work on every function. for
example, if you change an output to bus 1 instead of
1-2, you cannot undo this. Undo should undo whatever
the last command was, no matter what it was. This is
what the word LOGICal is supposed to represent.
Undo in Logic is highly problematic for other reasons. Here, I think there should be a specific Environment Undo, just like there's a separate undo for audio edits.
29. When you drag a bus from the environment to the
arrange window, it replaces whatever track was there.
It should ADD a track instead of replace-- atleast
there should be a preference for how this behaves.
Right. This is a matter of personal preference. But still there are other ways to get an object assigned to a track. The "thru tool", for instance. No dragging required.
32. Logic should offer a feature to collect sysex
data from midi devices so that patch names show up
and can be selected via program change.
My guess: considering how much sheer time it takes to write this kind of software, let alone debug it with every conceivable device, it's not likely this is going to happen.
That is all for now...
For those who firmly agree with me and all of the
points that I have brought up now and in the past, I
encourage you to contact Peggie Louie, (the Logic HR

Wait in line buddy!
(LOL)
I must say, I'm very impressed with your list and attention to detail. And I feel your pain, trust me. But many of the things you've listed are feature requests and not bugs. And some of the behaviors you've described I have yet to run across. So this is typical with Logic, that it can be operated in so many diverse ways that no two people run it in the same way, nor would two people conceive the program's capabilities in the same way. But I digress...
I also think there's a certain amount of Logic convention that I don't think you've adopted yet, hence your wish for behaviors that don't yet exist.
I don't disagree with most of your feature requests, and I'm (quite unfortunately) able to say that I'm familiar with most of these bugs and about 9 dozen more. But again, it's important to distinguish between bug, feature request, time to RTFM, and errant behavior that's experienced by a very limited number of users.
There's no doubt that this program has its problems. In particular, your #1 re the playback buffer. And I'm glad you've brought many of the bugs into the light for people to read. Good work.

Error while modifying the data in Emergency Contact.

Hi All,
I have developed a new application for emergency contact by following the FPM.Its a Zcopy of standard US/family application. The application is working fine except modify details.If i am trying to modify the previous records i am getting an error Start date should not be earlier than todays date We are using Usecase B3
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks

Can we modify the pnp selection screen and get only month and year?

Dear Freinds,
              I have requirement where i have to modify the PNP selection screen. So with the help of report category and coding in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT , i have modified all the fields relating to dates . i.e i have removed all the radio buttons (i.e Today, Current month,current year etc) and finally
i have landed with only Period ( PNPBEGDA & PNPENDDA range) . But i dont want the PNPBEGDA & PNPENDDA range , but i want only is the month and year ( i.e just like the PNPPABRP & PNPPABRJ)
on my selection screen along with the pernr .
i have used the below code to close all the fields except pnpbegda and pnpendda.
AT Selection-Screen output.
loop at screen.
IF screen-group4 = '098' .
      screen-input = '0'.
      screen-invisible = '1'.
    ENDIF.
    IF screen-group4 = '092' .
      screen-input = '0'.
      screen-invisible = '1'.
    ENDIF.
    IF screen-group4 = '094' .
      screen-input = '0'.
      screen-invisible = '1'.
    ENDIF.
    IF screen-group4 = '100' .
      screen-input = '0'.
      screen-invisible = '1'.
    ENDIF.
    IF screen-group4 = '104' .
      screen-input = '0'.
      screen-invisible = '1'.
    ENDIF.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
endloop.
i.e on my selection screen i want only month & year combination and pernr -
when iam using the logical database PNP . Could any one please let me know how can i get only mon & year only on my selection screen .
If it is possible please let me know .
Thanks & regards
divya.

Hi ,
   The requirement is that the user doesnt want to enter the date range i.e for ex: 01012008 to 31012008.
As per the requirement the user will enter only the month and year only . so i on the selection screen
i want only the month and year only . Is there any means i can modify the date period which is there by
default (PNPbegda and PNPendda) on PNP selection screen. Instead of we givign to the user the
PNPBEGDA and PNPPENDA i want is only month and year .
AS already the code has already been written and now they have asked that they want only the month and year on the selection screen.
Please suggest me in this regard.If iam hiding all the buttons relating the dates fields, and now if iam adding the parameters for the month and year it is coming below below the fields pernr , personnel ara and subara , company code , payroll area, employee group of the standard fields of PNP selection screen , there by any body could please suggest me how to change.
regards
divya.

Is this possible to access arbitrary frame and to modify the mask?..

Sorry for a bit messy discussion title. Please, let me explain.
I have some experience in implementing video processing algorithms, but as our own software and never under AE. Now there is an idea to implement something for AE and first of all, I'm curious, if this is possible at all.
1) When processing the n-th frame, I need the full access to the data of (n-k)-th and (n+k)-th. Is this possible to do in general case? Or the only variant is to implement frames buffering during the first pass?
2) Our algorithm uses the mask as one of the inputs. But in contrary to the usual case, mask does not define an area of interest. In any case the full frame is processed, but the processing differs for different regions, depending on mask. In our software, it works like this: user defines a mask (and some parameters). Then effect is slightly modifying (let say – refining) the mask during the render and renders final images. After this user can modify the mask somehow again if he/she is not satisfied with what algorithm has done. Can I produce the same workflow in AE? The only way is using a drawbot (this means CS 5.5 and higher)? And what if I want masks to be raster images?
The second question in the framework of this one is how to do two video inputs for an effect (first – the video to be processed and second – the mask (grayscale sequence in general case))?
The possible workflow is that user provides trivial mask – lets say, the black solid. But even during the first pass effect should produce the mask, according to its sight to the video – so, it should somehow substitute the black solid with the sequence on black'n'white images. Is this all possible in AE?
3) Is this possible (should be, I guess) to implement multipass algorithms? How the preview works then, if I need, for example, to pass all the video length 3-4 times, to produce the final render?
I can expect that all this is solvable in AE, but may be experienced users could be so kind to give me some basic recommendation on how to do this. Looking through the PDF, which accompanies the SDK has not allowed to come to a distinct answer for the question: is this possible or not. So, I rely on your consultation.

hi Theofil Mulony, welcome to the forum!
in short, yes, what you want to do is possible, but some parts may be tricky.
and now the long version:
1) When processing the n-th frame, I need the full access to the data of (n-k)-th and (n+k)-th. Is this possible to do in general case? Or the only variant is to implement frames buffering during the first pass?
you can access the pixel data of any layer at times other than the currently processed time. this concept of getting that data is referred to as "layer checkout" in the AE SDK, and "wide time" is the name of getting pixel data at times other than the current.
the following thread discusses the difference between two methods of getting such data:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4033930#4033930
you can also look at the "checkout" sample project to see how both concepts are implemented.
2) Our algorithm uses the mask as one of the inputs. But in contrary to the usual case, mask does not define an area of interest. In any case the full frame is processed, but the processing differs for different regions, depending on mask. In our software, it works like this: user defines a mask (and some parameters). Then effect is slightly modifying (let say – refining) the mask during the render and renders final images. After this user can modify the mask somehow again if he/she is not satisfied with what algorithm has done. Can I produce the same workflow in AE?
masks in AE generate a matte by default. the user can turn that mask off, so that the shape remains, but the mask does not... mask. (you can also set the mask mode to "none" via API commands).
you can then read the "off" mask attributes and either render using an API command (see "pathmaster" sample to see how), or write your own algorithm if the API constraints on that operation are a problem for you. (and there are a few constraints on rendering masks in the API)
now. when you say "modifying the mask" do you mean you modify it's generated matte, or do you mean change it's defining vector?
both are possible, but completely different.
if you turned the mask off, and rendered it's alpha yourself, then you can modify that alpha as you wish.
if you want to use AE's generated matte of the mask and change the mask's outline shape, then you need to look into "streams" and the "mask outline suite".
the user can modify a mask's shape as he/she pleases, unless you lock that mask or otherwise sabotage the user's operation.
The only way is using a drawbot (this means CS 5.5 and higher)?
drawbot is the API for drawing over AE's interface in CS5 and up.
it's only a drawing tool. previous versions used OS drawing tools. that's all the difference.
what i think you're asking is weather you need to create the mask drawing/handling capabilities or not.
the answer is: you can, but you don't have to.
unless you need control over the mask drawing that AE's existing masks don't have, i would have used AE's masks and not create a brand new mechanism (that the user need to learn as well).
if you insist at creating a custom UI for drawing masks, the "CCU" sample project would be a good place to start the research.
(just don't come crying to me when you get a splitting head ache)
And what if I want masks to be raster images?
The second question in the framework of this one is how to do two video inputs for an effect (first – the video to be processed and second – the mask (grayscale sequence in general case))?
The possible workflow is that user provides trivial mask – lets say, the black solid. But even during the first pass effect should produce the mask, according to its sight to the video – so, it should somehow substitute the black solid with the sequence on black'n'white images. Is this all possible in AE?
by default, "effect" plugins (as opposed to AEGPs) get only one input - the image of the layer, post masks and previous effects (but before transformations).
you can put as many "layer param"s in your effect and let the user select any number of other layers, which you can the "checkout" and use as second inputs.
you can also checkout other layers without the user selecting them manually.
however, checked out layer results are pre-masks and effects. so if the user draws a mask over a black solid, you will not be able to read the "post mask" image unless the user pre-composes the layer with the mask inside the pre-comp. it's a common practice for users to do so, as many effects rely on a second input, and that's the only way to make the input pos-masks and effects. (so it's no biggie from the user's point of view)
in the same manner, you can read any layer's image and use it as a mask.
you get the image buffer, so it's up to you to decide whether to use the alpha channel of that image or the rgb (or any other method you see fit).
3) Is this possible (should be, I guess) to implement multipass algorithms? How the preview works then, if I need, for example, to pass all the video length 3-4 times, to produce the final render?
AE doesn't do multi pass rendering.
it actually can render arbitrary frames, in no particular order.
but as you already saw, you can access the image data from any time - of any time, so you can emulate passes.
if you need to fly through the whole sequence for every frame, that would of course be very time consuming and wasteful.
in such a case, you can try to do these passes only once, when effect is implemented, and cache the results.
look up "sequence data", to see how to manage memory specific to a single instance fo you effect.
but i must say that if you have to do full length scans of the footage, a couple of times over, and cache EVERYTHING, then you're in a bit of a problem in AE.
it's just not set up for such rendering logic.
not impossible, but highly inefficient in the AE rendering pipeline.
there is a lot more to al of the above, but i hope this gave you a clearer picture of how things are in AE.

Modify the selection screen for the transaction VF04

Hi all,
My requirement is as follow . I need to modify the selection screen (1000) in such a way that I need to add three more fields to te existing selection screen and make some check boxes checked by default which are unchecked . I have found out all the exits in this development clas VF . I am listing them out here .
J_3RSINV Export Sales
SDVFX001 User exit header line in delivery to accounting
SDVFX002 User exit for A/R line (transfer to accounting)
SDVFX003 User exit: Cash clearing (transfer to accounting)
SDVFX004 User exit: G/L line (transfer to accounting)
SDVFX005 User exit: Reserves (transfer to accounting)

V61A0001 Customer enhancement: Pricing
Going with the descrition I dont see any of them suits my requirement . But there should be an approach . Can anyone please help me to find out an exit or explain me how do we identify an exit to modify the selection screen of an standard ransaction .
Regards,
Varun .

Hello,
I would suggest you to go for BADI,
Follow the below steps to find out what all BADI's are called when you press any button in any transaction.
1) Goto se24 (Display class cl_exithandler)
2) Double click on the method GET_INSTANCE.
3) Put a break point at Line no.25 (CASE sy-subrc).
Now
4) Execute SAP standard transaction
5) Press the required button for which you need to write an exit logic, the execution will stop at the break point.
6) Check the values of variable 'exit_name', it will give you the BADI name called at that time.
7) This way you will find all the BADIs called on click of any button in any transaction.
Regs,
Venkat

Some improvements to the stream reconnect logic.
Modified Paths:
    osmf/trunk/framework/OSMF/org/osmf/net/NetConnectionFactory.as
    osmf/trunk/framework/OSMF/org/osmf/net/NetLoader.as

"Is it intended to cope with NetConnection.Connect.IdleTimeOut of FMS disconnecting clients after some time of inactivity?"
The answer is no. Stream reconnect is all about trying to reconnect in the event of a dropped network connection. For the IdleTimeOut scenario, listen for the MediaErrorEvent.MEDIA_ERROR event on the MediaPlayer and check for an error of MediaErrorCodes.NETCONNECTION_TIMEOUT. You can handle that however you wish in your player.

Modifying default "Inspectors"/"HUD" tools?

I always want sharpening, noise, and shadow highlight opened. Is there somewhere to modify the default appearance of the inspector and/or HUD? By the way, what does "^s" mean? I have tried every combination of keyboard modifiers I could think of and can't get any keyboard combo to open these tools. Must I use the pointer? And for each image?

Forrest,
Two people from the Aperture team gave a demo in San Francisco last week.
I asked if there was a way to make the Shadow/Highlight panel persist in the HUD from image to image. They said there was not. Maybe in a later version.
A few of us asked about the problems with RAW conversions. The answer was a solid, unequivocal "Aperture has the finest RAW conversion engine on the market."
One of us asked about losing metadata. They said they'd just discovered the bug that loses metadata in exported Tifs.
I asked if there were plans to give Spotlight the ability to search the Aperture Library. They said, Wouldn't that be great? They'd had the same idea but it was up to the people working on Spotlight.
All in all they seemed VERY happy with the work that they'd done on the interface and interested in discussing suggestions but, in the limited time we had to talk to them, not so happy to address any perceived problems with the quality of the output.
I REALLY wish I'd discovered the Tif issue and made prints before the demo.

FB70: How t o modify the value of BSEG-XREF before posting?

Hi ABAP Gurus,
Good day!
I would like to know the correct way to modify the value of BSEG-XREF1 in FB70 (Prior to posting of document).
Currently, I have tried using substitution. First, I copied RGGBS000 into ZRGGBS000 AND added form u300, which will modify BSEG-XREF1. Second, I have added a step to an already existing substitution (COGS), which was set-up in transaction OBBH. I have assigned u300 to BSEG-XREF1 (Refernce Key 1).
The said step didn;t seem to work. I was able to post a document and then I displayed the document. Unfortuantely, BSEG-XREF1 hasn't been modified. So, I tried debugging the form U300. It doesn't stop inside that form, which means the logic that i put there was useless. By the way, the the formname that Im using can be found in two internal tables: (1) exits, and (2) etab.
Kindly advise on what to do. Thank you very much!
Best Regards.
Brando

Check this sample code which i've used to substitute the field BSEG-ZUONR
Also ensure that the callup point in OBBH is 2
Don't forget to attach ur ZRGGBS000 to the application area GBLS in the tcode GCX2
FORM get_exit_titles TABLES etab.
DATA: BEGIN OF exits OCCURS 50,
 name(5) TYPE c,
 param LIKE c_exit_param_none,
 title(60) TYPE c,
 END OF exits.
exits-name = 'U102'.
exits-param = c_exit_param_field.
exits-title = text-101. " Ship-to-Party to Assignment field
APPEND exits.
REFRESH etab.
LOOP AT exits.
 etab = exits.
 APPEND etab.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM. "GET_EXIT_TITLES
FORM u102 USING zuonr TYPE bseg-zuonr.
bseg-zuonr = <value>.
ENDFORM.

Trouble accessing legacy instruments in the Library in Logic 10

If you just installed Logic 10 It's a simple bug to work around.
First do it the hard way...
In the inspector (left column) click on the instrument for your selected Instrument track.
In the popup hover the mouse over Legacy and navigate to any instrument.
You will then see the Library restore the links to the Legacy Instruments which should be a "permanent" fix from now on.

Hi Rale99,
Thanks for your reply. Maybe its not applicable to me. On dont have Logic Pro 9, I only have the new version Logic Pro X. I was guessing that the Legacy stuff came with Logic 10 as normal.. because I saw mention of it in the Preferences.
To clarify from my side, I have gone through the process of Logic 'Preferences'(Advanced Tools) then I have ticked the Advanced Editing to enable it.
I have also clicked the ‘Download additional Content’ and downloaded all possible additional content I believe (as all boxes are ticked with the Status as ‘installed’ – this includes the Legacy and Compatibility option at the bottom (it shows 10.7 gb download now installed).
But I still can’t see the Legacy presets in the Logic Pro 10 ES1 synth?
Not sure if I have missed something?
Regards
Andy

How do i modify the language on pages, i need to be able to write both in english and in spanish.

how do i modify the language on pages??

You tell Pages what language the text is by selecting it and applying:
Inspector > Text > More > Language > Espagñol
Language is like bold or underlined or ALL CAPS, it is part of the text's style. In fact making it part of a style in the Styles Drawer is a quick way of applying it.
The default language is whatever you have set the System to.
