Need help putting together two scenes in one frame
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to put together a movie project. The thing is I wanted to put together two video captures in one frame - one on the left and the other on the right. I've been reading threads here in the forums and there have been varying answers (sometimes misunderstanding the question) so I would give examples.
Here's an example: Do you know those movies where the guy and the girl sing a duet but they are in different locations and to give a cinematic effect, the movie will put their faces side by side singing the same lines?
Another example is when the good and the bad guys are about to face each other from different directions, the scene would be split such that the left side shows the good guys and the right side shows the bad guys.
Is there a way in iMovie to do this?
Thanks guys!

Need Help Putting Together a rMBP so I Have Everything I Need...
Hello-
I am having trouble getting the right kind of help from "Chat Now" on apple.com and calling in to get my questions/needs taken care of so that when I get the rMBP I will be sure I wil have what I need to go right online and teach the online courses. I even went to the local apple store and woked with a couple sames guys there, but they were not clear in a couple situations on what I would need with the different options the rMBP gives. so I am truning to the great apple forum for additional help. this might be too much to ask even for tis forum, but if I can learn a little at a time, maybe I can gradually gain the knowledge I need to have a complete and functioning home office for my personal computing needs and my needs as an online teacher at a university back East. My technical knowledge is not the best, so as far as the rMBP goes, a big problem for me is that I do not have the knowledge to make sure I order everything I need with the changes a new rMBP will bring to my current setup (which is just a basic MBP using a wireless router and a USB cable for the printer that I just connect when I need to print). I realizee my current set up on my desk is not the most advanced, but I would need a pro to come to my office and help me get the best set-up for what I am curently using. It seems that the agents I chat with and/or talk to on the phone are aslo lacking in knowledge to help me put together a rMBP that will be ready to fully use and have with the order all that I need so that I do not have to order additional items in a mad rush to be ready for the courses I am teaching online. I have read several articles about the rMBP so that I cold have some knowledge about what I will need but as I said my techie knowledge is lacking. I am looking at the 15" rMBP with all of the full upgrades that the configure option allows one to get. I am not clear if I do run into trouble with my wi fi and have to use my ethernet cable what I will need to do this. I also have programs that are older that I am guesing I will need to install using a DVD player. I would like to hook up the printer I have or a new Canon printer and use it wirelessly, but for now I will most likely be using it with a USB cable. I am not clear on the thunderbolt technology and if I should get any of these cables for any of the connections. I also would like to get a great speaker system and will need to hook that up, but I am not clear on the best way to do this. I have been wanting an iMac, but I am not sure what is a good slection to get and how to connect it to the rMBP or one of the other 2 older MBPs I currently have.
If somebody could list for me what I would need to have a complete rMBP that will allow me to do these hookups and connections and explain what would be the best way to complete the various connections so that I have all that I will need to get up and running, I would really appreciate it. Because I do not have any USB 3.0 cables or cables for various additional connections, I would need help/suggestions in this area. I realize this is hard to do not seeing my office, but since I will be starting new with the purchase of the new rMBP and hopefully an iMac (and a new Canon printer and new set of great sounding speakers) getting some advice on what I should order for the various connections would be a hugh help. Part of the problem is with the rMBP and not having used one of these in the past. I know some of the differences with this machine like the lack of an internal SuperDrive and the new ports, but I do not know what cables I will need that will utilize the newer technology this machine and an imac will bring to my office.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, even if you do not give me specific answers, but an idea, for example, of what I might need to connect the speaker system (knowing the best way the new speaker system shold be connected to the rMBP and/or the iMac. I am not even clear if I do want to use the iMac with the rMBP for teaching with a larger display what I will need to connect the imac to the rMBP. is this done by an HDMI cable and if so is there a specific type or example you could mention that is on apple.com?There are many differences with the new rMBP. There are ports that I am not sure what I would use them for. Even the ethernet cable I use now to get the internet will not work with the rMBP. I thought there would be some additional help on here. as far as configuring the rMBP there are just a few options but the differences between an older MBP and the new rMBP is great. No need to reply I will turn off email notifications. I gave as much information as I did because in the past I was told to give more information.

Need Help, put together information, summary to print
Hello,
I need help.
I want to make a e-learning for school children of the 5th class.
I have a lot of excersises like a fill-in-text or drag and drop and so on. Now my question is, can I put the information the children puts in together like a summary at the end of the lesson, so the children can print it like a worksheet at the end?Happy to provide more detail, but on what, exactly?
Do you need more detail on how to create the PDF? If so, that's a bit beyond the scope of what we usually do here in the Captivate forums. There are many different ways to create a PDF.
As for linking the PDF, I already advised. But you may need more detail here. When you insert a Click Box or a Button object in Captivate, you assign an action that occurs when the user clicks the object. The assignment occurs in the properties panel on the right. The typical action is "Go to next slide", but it's a drop-down you may change. I suggested changing it to assign "Open URL or File". Once you do that, you will see a field where you may type the URL or the file name.

I need help putting together different sized video/photo
I just got back from a trip to Yellowstone National Park. I want to put three different pieces of media - GOPRO HD video shot at 1280 x 960, NIKON jpegs at 3872 x 2592, and SDV (Sony DCR-TRV33) shot at 16:9 resolution (can't figure out pixel size.) I have Compressor (of course) and also MPEG Streamclip.
First of all I need to convert the GOPRO HD (compressed at h.264) and digitize the SDV. What format would be best for editing and integrating the three pieces of media - Apple Pro Res, DV/DCVPRO, ...
1280 x 960 is 4:3 (too late to change the SDV to 4:3) so what would be the best compromise?
Thanks for the help,
WilliamSo you recommend digitizing (log and capture) the SDV in FCP as a ProRes (422?) Also convert the h.264 (GOPRO) to ProRes. Trim the jpegs in Photoshop (is there a simple batch program that can do this?)
When you say to leave the GOPRO in it 1280x960 frame size so it can be re-framed in a Sequence - how does that work?
I'd just use ProRes 422 for both types of video. You could probably get along with ProRes LT for the SD, but I like to keep things simple.
Create your timeline by dropping a "SDV" clip in and answering "yes" to the auto-conform question that will appear. This should give you a 16:9 aspect ratio SD timeline. Now, when you drop in a GoPro clip it will scale down and try to fit in.
If you double click it into Viewer and go to the Motion tab, you can hit the Reset button (the one with the red X) and you will have a 1280x960 clip again. It will seem as if you're looking at it through a hole in a template; you can "steer" it or resize it just as you usually do with a still. You can do a zoom in or out on the video, or pan from side to side.
Use this to sharpen your story visually. Have fun with it. -

I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
Hi, thanks for reading!
I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
.swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
before the movie will proceed and play through.
What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
modify.
I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
just play through.
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
.fla files.
http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
done in HCIC_container.swf.
I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
if you look at the files it should make sense.
ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
definitely over my head here.
Thanks for your help.Got my solution on another forum.

In the numbers app, using the "date and time" function, is it possible to remove the time? I need to put together a list of dates, but I don't need or want times.
When formatting your column to date/time, pick Date & time, and then pick the letter i in the circle to the right. Then scroll down and pick "No time"

Need help in combining two similair SQLs into one
DB Version:10gR2
I need to combine the following two queries into one query and return the following three columns
Unprocessed Quantity1,Unprocessed Quantity2, Total Uprocessed Cost
Unprocessed Quantity1 can be determined using
select t.ITEM, sum(t.QTY)
from (select cd.ITEM_ID ITEM, cd.ACTL_QTY QTY
from CONVEY_HDR ch, CURRENT_INVN cd, ALLOC_HDR ah
where ........
UNION
select sd.ITEM_ID ITEM, sd.INVN_QTY QTY
from shp_dtl pd
UNION
Select item_id, inv_qty from another table
GROUP BY.....
ITEM SUM(T.QTY)
88JAT 25
000002395 1
300108396 27
000004397 7
73984290 15Unprocessed quantity2 can be determined using
select t.ITEM, sum(t.QTY)
from (select cd.ITEM_ID ITEM, cd.ACTL_QTY QTY
from CONVEY_HDR ch, CURRENT_INVN cd, ALLOC_HDR ah
where rownum<6
group by t.ITEM
order by t.ITEM;
ITEM SUM(T.QTY)
189436171 2
009438837 160
000040685 16
000032410 18Total Unprocessed Cost can found using the sum of Quantities for a particular Item from above two queries multiplied by
ITEM_COST for that ITEM (which is found in ITEM_DTL table). For every item; ITEM_DTL.item_id=CARTON_dTL.carton_id
Total Unprocessed Cost= (Unprocessed Quantity1+Unprocessed Quantity2)*ITEM_DTL. ITEM_COST
Note: Unprocessed Quantity2 query looks very similair to first SQL in UNION of Unprocessed Quantity1, but ah.STAT_CODE < 90 for Unprocessed Quantity2 query

Corrected typo
Edited by: user636669 on Jan 14, 2009 7:07 PMHi,
Put the two queries you posted in sub-queries. You can then use their result sets as if they were tables.
Do something like this:
WITH uq1 AS
select t.ITEM, sum(t.QTY) AS total
from (select cd.ITEM_ID ITEM, cd.ACTL_QTY QTY
from CASE_HDR ch, CASE_DTL cd, ASN_HDR ah
... the rest of your first query goes here
, uq2 AS
select t.ITEM, sum(t.QTY) AS total
from (select cd.ITEM_ID ITEM, cd.ACTL_QTY QTY
from CASE_HDR ch, CASE_DTL cd, ASN_HDR ah
... the rest of your second query goes here
SELECT uq1.item
, uq1.total AS "Unprocessed Quantity1"
, uq2.total AS "Unprocessed Quantity2"
, (uq1.total + uq2.total) * dtl.item_cost
AS "Total Uprocessed Cost"
FROM uq1
JOIN uq2 ON uq1.item = uq2.item
JOIN item_dtl dtl ON uq1.item = dtl.item;If some items are in uq1 but not in uq2 (or vice-versa), then you'll probably want to do outer joins.
I don't have any of the tables used, so I can't test this myself.
If you need more help. then post a little sample data from each of the tables, and the results you want from that data.
It looks like you're doing the same join in each of your original queries.
You can add another sub-query that does that join once, and then use that sub-query in sub-queries uq1 and uq2. -

I need help putting Classical Music CDs into iTunes
I need help - this question has lots of subquestions, sorry.
I have found just a few discussions that deal with this but I am still confused. Forgive me if I get wordy and misuse technical terms - I am trying to learn this thing...
I'm an iPod newbie and haven't a clue on the best way to organize my many, many classical CDs that I'd like to put onto my iPod Classic 160G. I'd also like to do this with as little fussing around as possible since there are lots of CDs I've got to deal with.
If each CD is a separate entry [album?] in the playlist and titled with composer name first [ex Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, Titov conductor] I'll have several playlist entries with the same titles, but different contents. No problem really.
But, should I separate it further, by having each concerto [say] be a separate entry in the playlist - without having to download the CD again. [I've just practiced on a few CDs but I imagine it being a problem if I had to download each CD several times - once for each work] Does it make sense to leave gaps between movements? [I'm not finding a way to remove gaps, though I have seen that suggested somewhere]
And when I come to play the pieces, if I start playing a work in a playlist, will the iPod keep going from one movement to the next as it makes its way through the playlist - or will it stop at each movement and wait for me to tell it what to do next?
Advanced Settings - are these the best? I'll be listening to music on an airplane using noise cancelling headphones and at destination attaching iPod to portable speakers to listen to music in hotel rooms.
General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized - unchecked? [not sure what this means or does or doesn't do]
Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library - checked?
Importing: AAC encoder? High quality -128 kbps?
Thanks for all your help - I know this is a multiple set of questions and perhaps should have been broken up...

Message was edited by: Mrs H to fix typos
Message was edited by: Mrs HThank you so much for your help. You have sorted out a lot of problems for me. I've tried to go through what you wrote, add some more info and I have asked a few more questions below-
I re-ripped at 256. I too have the 160GB classic so it's good to know that it will take 10,000 tracks as lossless - now I have to re-rip again! I actually hadn't anticipated using the iPod with anything other than our high quality noise canceling airplane headphones, our cheap, portable travel speakers for hotel rooms and our Cambridge sound speakers for our cabin. It's that last set of speakers that makes me think I should follow you advice and go with lossless.
QUESTION #1 - When I re-rip and do an automatic sync, will the tracks at 256 automatically be replaced by the bigger lossless ones with the same name or should I delete everything from the iPod and begin anew?
"I create a playlist for each work, using a systematic naming convention..." What I did on my test was create a playlist for each composer breaking it down - ex- Bach:concertos, Bach:sonatas, etc. I have the Album column highlighted and it appears as if the movements stay together in the correct order. I fear that the task might be too large to create a playlist for each work, though that certainly is appealing.
QUESTION #2 If the Album column is highlighted and the movements are in the correct order in iTunes in the playlist, will they stay that way in the iPod?
"I tend to use just surnames for composers for example, or at least "surname, firstname"." I finally found in settings on the iPod the way to change sort by composer to last name, first name. In iTunes, the composer column which is imported from the internet search for info on the CDs gives composer with first name first and I can't find a place in iTunes to reverse this. Typing it or erasing the first name will be a huge chore.
QUESTION #3 Is there a place in iTunes to change the order of the composers' name in the composer column?
"For compilations etc I still create one for the whole CD or box set"
I figured this out on my own before you corroborated my idea - I think I'm getting the hang of this...
"The option iTunes has to "organise your music" is a good one"
QUESTION #4 - are you referring to the preferences > advanced check box "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" ? If not, what are you referring to?
"I have my library in its own dedicated disk. Wherever you put it, its important to then never change it or doing anything else with it: leave it for iTunes."
QUESTION #5 "dedicated disk"? as in hard drive? I have been using SuperDuper to back up my Mac to an external HD; I plan to put a copy of the iTunes folder onto yet another HD where I keep copies of all our photos as well.
"never change it"? I noticed a misspelling "Haendel" from the on-line CD/track info - no problem in fixing that - right? Since you later say you do change info, what is it you are never changing?
QUESTION #6 - "Disk N of M capability" - what? Where do I find this option? And when you say "for multiple CD albums, don't include the cd number in the album name." Where? when you put the CD into a playlist entry? or just in the list of music in the album column - do you change the listing?
ONE FINAL QUESTION - when I turn on the iPod when it's not attached to headphones or speakers, and I'm just looking at the screen to see settings or how the syncing worked, the iPod appears to begin playing something as soon as I turn it on. THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION, but I can't find the answer, how to I get it to stop playing without turning the iPod itself off???
"I hope that helps a little. " A little?? It helps a lot - and I'll award those points as soon as I get it all resolved.
Thanks again,
Mrs H -
Need help putting photos on my iPad
Trying to put scanned photos on my iPad. I have tried iTunes but under devices there is no photos to select. Need help.
Photos doesn't appear on the left-hand sidebar under Devices, it appears on the right-hand side in a similar way as for selecting and syncing music, apps etc
If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos -
Pls help putting together the BEST SOLUTION for PP and AE CS4
Hi guys
I was tasked to put together the best machine (machines) for video editing / rendering .. money is not an issue.
My client is a TV broadcasting network and they do lots of videos everyday .. They want to render their work as FAST as possible because sometimes they have tight deadlines and rendering and re rendering (if there are mistakes) has cost them .. so now they're serious about getting the best technology to achieve best rendering time possible, but in a bit of practical sense of course.. i mean there's no sense spending 1000USD or more for a piece of technology that offers under 10 second faster rendering only ..
What they do and want
- edit/put together/ sequence lots of videos constantly, under premiere cs3 (will upgrade to cs4 on the new machine)
- use affter effects for some effects and 3D stuffs.. but not that much.. but increasingly as time goes by and their video editors get more affter effects training..
- needs really really fast rendering!! Right now it takes them typically 1-2 hours to render stuffs, and what to cut this time by half or more..
Existing Setups on work stations:
Intel QuadCore (Q6600, i7, Q9550, Xeon x3220, and the likes)
4GB RAM DDR2 1066mhz
Highend motherboards
GeForce 9500GT , 9800GT, and GTX 260 216sp
GSKILL Falcon 64GB SSD Drive as primary
1TB Western Digital BLACK edition drives for storage
Software:
Windows XP 32 bit
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (80% of all their work done here)
AE CS3
etc..
Running NOD32 Antivirus
I am an somewhat of an expert in Hardware and stuff, i build custom PC's machines most of my life but i have limiited knowledge on optimizing hardware for VIDEO EDITING stuffs.. so i turn to you all.
I do understand that w/ video editing CPU is the most important, followed by RAM, and ofcourse by HDD for disc caches and stuff.. and where videocard may come to an advantage as well. and normally i'd suggest the fastest components available . i7 , extreme processors, skulltrail dual quad setups perhaps? RAID 0 SSD Drive? etc.. but I do not know w/c gives the most advantage, and w/c is a waste of money..
I also read about quadro cards offering really big performance improvements using CUDA tech etc..
again im not the expert at this type of requirment.. so i need your advises..
with unlimitted PRACTICAL budget given to me to come up w/ a solution I initially thought a rendering farm would be the solution, but upon reading around it seems there's no rendering farm solution for PP CS4.. just the adobe after effects part.. so i had to go back to the drawing board and suggest really powerful work stations instead..and perhaps have them migrate to 64bit OS for that "extra" performance.. i myself am on win7 64bit and it's looking mighty good.
1) is this the right move?
2) is it still worth it to put together rendering farm for AE renders only? or might as well concentrate funds on the machines/workstations?
Also along the PRACTICALITY LINE, would it be practical to maintain all the existing machines, and instead build a manned RENDERING MACHINE w/ PP and AE (basically desktop or Server if they are faster at rendering w/ the best specs for the purpose etc) where they can just throw the workload to some guy there for rendering? Atleast the editors can continue using the workstations while the rendering machine guy is at work? and even perhaps setup a gigabit lan network where the RENDERING MACHINES can dynamically pull the work load via the network , not needing to transfer the files to the rendering machine first ? etc
as you can see im not only looking for the best machine, but the best STRATEGY for my client.
Good suggestions would be much appreciated.
regards to allin a nut shell no. if you do not have to "Share" then Avid is pointless Adobe is a far better answer.
Avid solutions still need a computer. The Mojo.Nitris are a joke and Avid no longer provides computers even the Symphany comes with your choice of Apple Mac Pro or HP 800. (Dual Xeon)
there are better "hardware" answers that what Avid sells for Adobe. Decklink, Aja to name a few.
if you have to share then you have no choice. this is the one area Abode does not lead.
renders have to do primarily with 2 things CPU power (Xeon will render faster than single i7)
and Drives. the faster your drive set up the faster the render. Memory does play a part and so does the video card depending on what codec and to what
it also depends on WHAT you are rendering and from what for the HDDs.
without knowing your work flow format and codec its impossible to suggest something.
in terms of rendering
Core i7
Dual Xeon (faster unless still doing DV/HDV thru firewire)
Sonnet raid array
