Motion Drop Zone pdf template - not updating in FCP X

In Motion 5, I add a PDF as an image type,
Then, make a RIG for the Media|Page Number slider.
All this works well, and well in Final Cut Pro X....
Until...
The user (In FCP X) drops another PDF -
The PDF works fine, but the Page Number slider doesn't resond, and is set to the number of pages of the original file.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks
Rob

Thanks Alex...
I dropped a PDF with multiple pages into
Final Cut Pro X...
and then onto the time line....
when I PLAY it, it goes through the pages...
So, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "single image".
I may be stuck with dropping my PDF in Motion... then all will be well, and my Rig,
in Final Cut can indeed navigate through the pages... and even be key framed to the page I want.

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer
First i install CS6 on the new computer
copy the projects
import the websites
Now, when i change any template the pages do not update any more. New pages working correct. Also manuell updating works.
Any Idea?
Where are the info about the join template and the pages. Seems on the old computer - but where?
Thx

hm?
now I made a new page from the template on the new machine - and find one difference:
New Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>....
Old Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>...
The slash / after template=" is not there on the new machine. If i remove the slash on the copied pages and restart dreamweaver then it works. A lot of work, but i can solve my problem this way.
Maybe there is some checkbox for path handling...?

Changes in SP2 Multi track editor DO NOT update in FCP timeline....

Hi all
Changes in SP2 Multi track editor DO NOT update in FCP timeline even if I do a "save as" all my changes and effects remain in SP2 and won't transfer over to FCP. The best I can get is full mixes of each Channel of audio. Am I right in believing That multi track is dynamically linked too?
Can you tell me how to do it please?
Rob

Hi Rob,
If i've understood you correctly, though you can conform tracks in STP2 of any changes in FCP6, any updates in FCP6 will not automatically update in STP2. You will need to EXPORT your final master mix from the multi-track editor with choosing 'update to final cut pro sequence' in the 'after export' drop down tab.
When you open FCP6 it'll ask you to update and once said yes, all tracks in FCP6 will be muted and a new two track master mix will be placed under the video base layer for a final conform.
Cheers!
Himayath.

MOTION 4 - I can't locate correct drop zones for template

I'm working in MOTION 4 and a template I purchased online.
I'm not deeply experienced with MOTION (one of the reasons I prefer
templates), but I have used built-in MOTION templates and those from 3rd parites
and other sources on many prior occassions. I'm familiar with dragging
the elements you want to customice into the drop zones.
The problem I'm having is with a Calendar template. I've been
playing for hours now trying to get
the video or image into the drop zone. For instance this template is
made of of a bottom part
that shows a January calendar, and the top of the calendar is the drop
zone where you drop in
the picture you want to customize to represent January. And there is a
counterpart for all 12 months and it flips through all 12 months.
No matter how hard I try, I can't drag my images into the right area of
MOTION Canvas or layers area to get it into the right
drop zone corresponding to the month I'm shooting for.
This seems straight forward, but the template is confusing. I've tried
trial and error for hours now, but they're not
ending up where I need.
Is there someway to see ONLY the drop zones in MOTION? I keep replacing things
I don't intend.
Any quick assistance would be appreciated. I've contacted the 3rd party I purchased the template
from but haven't heard back yet and on deadline. Help!

Yes, I tried xrandr:

At first this didn't work at all, so I tried to mess with screen resolution applet and got output on the second monitor, but not at the desired resolution.
I tried running these commands again and got output on the second monitor, but at the wrong resolution. The strange part is that the resolution I want is listed by xrandr:

Motion Drop Zone template question

I am using a drop zone template to make a short promo video. I am trying to figure out how to transition from the drop zones flying in to open the video full screen to play. So the effect I want is a bed of music and the motion template flying in 6 drop zones. I want to see a drop zone expand into like a 20 second spot and then fly the drop zones again, pick a different one to expand into the full movie and so on. I have about 3 minutes to make this promo. I am using Final Cut Studio 3 and Motion 4.
What behaviors is there in Motion to do this or do I need to just bring in the motion file into FCP and use some sort of transition there?
Jeff

Which template are you trying to use?
I'd maybe do it this way...
1. Create the project in Motion using a frame that is twice the size of your editing format in FCP. If you're editing DV in FCP, use one of the HD templates. If you're using HD in FCP, you'll need to change the properties of the project to about 2160 pixels high. but the dropzones should be able to hold a full size clip.
2. Render it all out full size.
3. Import it into FCP and drop it into your timeline, set it to 25% or 50% scale, don't let FCP scale it to fit the sequence.
4. You will be able to use the scale and position (center) keyframes to zoom in on any single dropzone to fill the frame at 100%.
That's just one of many simple ways to do this without using a camera in the template. If you're new to Motion, save that for a later project.
Mark or others will have more interesting suggestions later.

Motion 3 template drop zone content won't play in FCP

I am new to Motion. I made a custom template and brought it into FCP. It inserts and previews fine. In FCP I place a clip into one of the masked-out "drop zones" under the "controls tab" and here is where I run into the problem:
The clip shows up ok in the template but doesn't play once I render; all I get is a static still from it.
I sense that I am almost there... any suggestions?
many thanks,

Hi, this problem has been solved over in the Quicktime discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5106282&#5106282
Turns out you need to install Qmaster to play HDV files in QT (without FCP installed).

Motion drop zones not behaving

I have drop zones on a canvas x 4.
I have made this "Fit" setting.
The drop zones are not all the size of the footage for example one of them is really tall but thin.
When I place it in the fcp timeline the drop zones shrink to accomadate the footage.
Shouldnt the footage fill the drop zone wih the edges of the footage that don't fit being cut out?
I have tried "stretch" as a drop zone setiing and it distorts the aspect ratio of the footage. Centre looks no good either.
Can anyone help?

"Fit" means that the footage will be shrunk so that it completely fits inside the dropzone. This means that if the aspect ratio does not match, it will basically either letterbox or pillar box the footage.

How do I get pics into Drop Zones for Templates?

I am having a problem that is probably simple, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. I opened a templated in Motion and noticed that some of the templates have drop zones, a la iDVD.
Okay, so I found some pics in the browser but when I went to drag them into the drop zone, the image did not go into into the drop zone, and instead a new layer was created. I've tried this countless times and can't seem to gt the pictures to go in the drop zones.
Am I doing anything wrong?

The problem is one of interpretation. What you are seeing are grey "replace media" items which need to be replaced with what you want. They aren't 'drop zones' ala IDVD or DVDSP (basically it's an image with a mask or overlay over it giving it that 'drop zone' look)
There are many ways of changing/replacing the "media" items (this is Apple after all ;):
1) If you press F5, you open up the "Layers/Media/Audio" window. Click "Media" and you'll see all the elements used to make up the template, including "replace 1.jpg" etc.
2)Click on one of the "replace" files. Then click the "Inspector" tab in the Browser window. Then you'll see a window that says "Linked Objects." and below that "replace media file." Click "Replace media File" and then choose the file you want to insert/replace (you'll have to de-select "Show Matching Names Only" to be able to replace it with your own file)
OR:
1) press F6 and open the Timeline window.
2) Scroll down and you will see a layer called "Replace"
3) Open up that layer (click the triangle) and you will see Replace 1, Replace 2, etc (depends on your template)
4) Drag the image you want to insert/replace into the template to the sublayer called "replace 1" etc.
There are other ways, but these two are the most 'stable' I have found.

Remote file template not updating on website

Hello I am very very new to dreamweaver and have been handed a website that I have to maintain and make changes to.
The website uses a template called index with further nested templates as shown
The index template contains the code for the Menu Bar and footer and although I have been able to make other updates and changes I am finding that any changes to the code on this template do not show up on the site. The strange thing is that both the local and remote code has updated as I would like it is just the website itself that is not changing. When I view the website source code it is different to the remote file code. I assume that the link between the two is somehow broken but I do not know how to fix it. Is there a trick to fixing such a problem or am I wrong about this being the problem?
Here is the remote file code which is that same as the local code - I have out the code that is not updating in bold and underlined it:

Thank you in advance for your help

Jon Fritz that did actually work for some of the pages but not others. I upadted each invidivual page, except the main page as I have not finished the content and now some of the pages are acting strangely.
Here is the website http://www.genesi-fp7.eu/index.html
As you can see every page except the 'Contacts' and 'Links' page is now reading the correct code when you click on the 'Consortium' tab. The strange thing however is that the footer has updated on the 'Links' page suggesting that this part of the template has updated. Both these pages are based on the Index-misc nested template. The code is copied here:

      <h1>Introduction to the G.EN.ESI Project</h1>
      <p>The sustainability of industrial products, particularly household appliances, is an important issue today. Energy consumption in the residential/domestic sector is about 20% of world consumption, and associated greenhouse gas emissions exceed 35%.   Household appliances contribute greatly to these values and thus require particular attention as far as sustainability is concerned.</p>
      <p>It is well known that decisions taken during the early design of products are very important in determining total product cost. It is possible to hypothesize the same for environmental impacts – i.e. the sustainability of a product is largely determined during the early design stage. In order to allow designers to make well-informed decisions, new design methods and tools are needed to provide the basis for determining the degree of sustainability of a given product or process. Many eco-design procedures and tools have been developed but they are often far from a practical day-by-day application in company engineering departments, and they are not well integrated with computer-aided design tools.   This project wants to make up for this limitation and to develop an eco-design methodology (called G.EN.ESI) and a related software design tool (called the G.EN.ESI platform) able to help product designers in ecological design choices, without losing sight of cost and typical practicalities of industry. The software platform will propose a guided process towards eco-design among several design choices based on the different scenarios of product lifecycle. The proposed approach will be applied to the household appliance field but it can be easily extended to other mechatronic products.</p>
      <p>The project started in February 2012 and will continue until January 2015.</p>

Murray do you suggest that I try and get rid of the nested templates or am I biting off more than I can chew after two days of self training?
Thank you

Zone data expires not updating in DNS

I am struggling a bit with the Lion DNS system.
Using Lion Server 10.7.3 no matter what I set as the hours for "zone data expires", it reverts to 4 hrs.
I opened the db.zone file in /var/named . The other three fields update fine. But the expire entry is stuck for all the zone files. Some odd script bug?? Permissions ?? I run three other name servers, 1(panther) 2 (snow leopard). Never had issues like this before.
I cannot even do a manual override. The next time the admin utility touches the record it resets the expire data to 4 hours.
The second issue with the zone files is the SOA zone. It defaults to the domain name instead of the primary name server. I can hand edit that and it seems to stick. I cannot find anywhere in the adminn tool where you can explicitely set the the master zone record. (ns1.masterdns.com). Once the file is edited, the SOA record is recognized. Perhaps a different problem, but it seems to be similar in that the zone files are not being constructed properly.
Thanks for any insight or solutions.

hi bwusr,
direct update, so it's master data,
is it attribute or text ? perhaps there's invalid character or lower case,
check in monitor tab detail.
and when you said not updated to data target,
you check by right click 'maintain master data' ?
or you mean it's not updated to reporting ?
execute change run ? rsa1->tools->apply attribute/hierarchy change.
hope this helps.

Templates not updating other documents

Help please. my site that has three templates - 1 main and two nested are not updating the children pages. what could possible cause this?

PLEASE - don't use nested templates! Why have you? They are and will be trouble for you.
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes not propagating from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in the site other than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the Template (which will not propagate)
5. Assume that Template changes will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file to the server without also uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between Template and child page is broken
7. Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the Template, adding page specific content, and resaving the Template with an *.html extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if this is the case by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything like <!-- TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done). If you *have done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DWCS3) using FILE | New > Page from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced > Recreate Site Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing them. Have you done any of those?

Dreamweaver templates not updating on second installation

I have just purchased the new Dreamweaver CS5.5. I installed it on my laptop first and it is working fine. However the package is not working correctly on my husband's laptop. He is finding that the templates are not updating the files despite going through the process. I am the 'techie' in our partnership and I did make sure both installations were identical.
Updates we are trying to make are outside of the editable regions.
It has taken me years to get him to accept an update for this programme, and now it doesn't work for him, he is not well pleased at me spending hundreds of pounds, when the Dreamweaver MX2004 worked well for him.
Please can someone point me in the right direction to put this right.

We are not working on the same templates. In our partnership, I build the templates and then turn them over to my husband to input the content. The particular problem we are incurring at the moment is on a fully functioning website. We noticed that on changeover from Dreamweaver MX2004 to CS5.5, the css file wasn't being read, the difference being:
from <link type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" href="/styles/style.css" />
to <link type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/style.css" />
don't really understand this, but having updated the template, the dialogue box came up asking if you want to update all files connected to template, said ok, and the finish dialogue box says 211 files updated. But when you open the file it hasn't actually updated at all.
Website looks ok online now as he has went back to MX2004 to upload a new page.

Template Not Updating Files

I am helping someone with implementing CSS on a website. She
created the entire site in Dreamweaver MX using one dreamweaver
template. I did a remote get of all the files from her ftp site,
including the template file. So now I have the entire directory
structure on my local computer as is what is on the server.
I opened her template file and added a link to the style
sheet I created. However when I went to save the template file,
dreamweaver didn't ask me if I wanted to update the files that were
created previously with this same template. What could be causing
the template to not update all of the HTML files associated with
it? Is it because they weren't created on my local machine?
Please help a VERY FRUSTRATED guy :-)

This is the problem - look at the markup below. You say that
this is a child
page, yet the markup still uses -

> <title>Untitled Document</title>
> 
> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
>  
> <script language="JavaScript">
> <!--
> function mmLoadMenus() {
> if (window.mm_menu_0517194225_0) return;
> window.mm_menu_0517194225_0 = new
Menu("root",120,24,"Arial, Helvetica,
>
sans-serif",18,"#ffffff","#ffff00","#009933","#33cc33","center","middle",3,1,100
> 0,-5,7,true,true,true,0,false,false);
>
> mm_menu_0517194225_0.addMenuItem("Facts","window.open('
http://dipetanecanada.com
> /html/facts_about_dipetane.html', '_self');");
>
> mm_menu_0517194225_0.addMenuItem("Uses","window.open('

mm_menu_0517194225_0.addMenuItem("More Info","window.open('
http://dipetanec

'_self');");
>
> mm_menu_0517194225_0.addMenuItem("FAQ's","window.open('
http://dipetanecanada.com

> mm_menu_0517194225_0.hideOnMouseOut=true;

Files using template not updating after moving

On this site "C" (see link) site I want to move the Template&Library folder and get them inside the local root folder, which is actually "Os". When I move it in DW the links are updated nice - but when I change the template, the files using it are not updated. Anyone care to tell me how to move these two folders to Os folder and not experiencing this problem?

You should never had a folder named "public_html" in a properly defined site.
And "Os" is not the root folder of the C site. You would need a NEW site definition with Os as the root for the Templates to work properly.

Template not updating html.

I now have about 50 total pages ready to upload to my host,
and have a huge problem. Seems that all the images, and links are
going to: file:///C|/Documents and Settings/ bla bla !! I did a
find and replace, on my templates but it does not update the html
in the pages themselves. And I cannot edit the editable area's via
code. Please tell me I don't have to start from scratch!? I have
already done so twice, and I'm afraid a third time is just out of
the question.

> file:///C|/Documents and Settings/ bla bla !!
This is pointing to your hard drive. Are you working in a
defined DW site?
Is the Template folder in the root of your site?
