Need help with a workflow that will restrict resize to 720x540

I need help constructing a workflow that will resize any image I choose to 720x540. I want this to be restrictive to this size, in other words I don't want 720x468 or etc. I have tried this too many times, will no success so now I am reaching out for help. HELP. Once I have correct resized an image as needed I want to change its format and save a copy.
As always thanks for your reading and replying to my Post,
Sebastian

Hi there,
what Image editing software do you have, if any ?

  • Need help with WMI code that will send output to db

    'm new to WMI code writing, so I need some help with writing code that we can store on our server. I want this code to run when a user logs into their computer
    and talks to our server. I also want the code to:
    * check the users computer and find all installed patches
    * the date the patches were installed
    * the serial number of the users computer
    * the computer name, os version, last boot up time, and mac address
    and then have all this output to a database file. At the command prompt I've tried:
    wmic qfe get description, hotfixid
    This does return the patch information I'm looking for, but how do I combine that line of code with:
    wmic os get version, csname, serialnumber, lastbootuptime
    and
    wmic nicconfig get macaddress
    and then get all this to output to a database file?

    Thank you for the links. I checked out http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx and
    found lots of good information. I also found a good command that will print information to a text file.
    Basically what I'm trying to do is retrieve a list of all installed updates (Windows updates and 3rd party updates). I do like that the below code because it gives me the KB numbers for the Windows updates. I need this information so my IT co-workers &
    I can keep track of which of our user computers need a patch/update installed and preferably which patch/update. The minimum we want to know is which patches / updates have been installed on which computer. If you wondering why we don't have Windows automatic
    updates enable, that's because we are not allowed to.   
    This is my code so far. 
    #if you want the computer name, use this command
    get-content env:computername
    $computer = get-content env:computername
    #list of installed patches
    Get-Hotfix -ComputerName $computer#create a text file listing this information
    Get-Hotfix > 'C:\users\little e\Documents\WMI help\PowerShell\printOutPatchList.txt'
    I know you don't want to tell me the code that will print this out to a database (regardless if it's Access or SQL), and that's find. But maybe you can tell me this. Is it possible to have the results of this sent to a database file or do I need to go into
    SQL and write code for SQL to go out and grab the data from an Excel file or txt file? If I'm understanding this stuff so far, then I suspect that it can be done both ways, but the code needs to be written correctly for this to happen. If it's true, then which
    way is best (code in PowerShell to send information to SQL or SQL go get the information from the text file or Excel file)?

  • Need help with an applet that will only run as an application

    I am working on a slide show applet. The problem is that is won't run as an applet. I added a quite standard main method to stick the applet in a JFrame and this worked. I believe that the problem lies in how I am trying to open the files.
    here are two of the methods that I believe contain part of the problem
         private void showImage( String image_name )
              image_file = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage( image_name );
              display_image.loadImage( image_file );
              repaint();
         private void setFileFolder( String folder )
              file_finder = new File( folder );
              file_results = file_finder.list();
         }image_file is an object of class Image, display_image is an object of class ImageComponent (extends JComponent to draw an image), and file_finder and file_results are both objects of class File
    I would greatly appreciate it if some one would help me with this.
    The full source can be found at http://www.geocities.com/enchantedforest/3688/ImSP.zip

    Ok. I got the image loading to work.
    Now how do I fix the second method shown in my first post? It is needed to find all of the images in one specific folder so that the slide show can run.

  • Need help with Export workflow.

    Hello again.
    Today I was experimenting with exporting a project using Export QT Movie and QT Conversion.
    My goal is to show a QT project on the web, either 640x480 or 320xx240, depending on how monstrous the file size is.
    My initial impression was that export QT Movie simply generates (I'm guessing) a full size rendering of the project. It's icon is a FC icon. What I did then was an "Open with..." quicktime(pro). This is where I get confused: I know that the next steps are for for preparing the project for sizes, compressions and so on. The export to QT movie seems to be a longer route to get to the settings that you need to use in QT Conversion, which after selecting QT conversion, you have the Format, Use, and Options settings.
    Am I right so far?
    Some background about my project- Easy setup= DV-NTSC. If I look in my browser, my clips are 720x480, 29.97fps, Compressor(?)DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, pixel aspect ratio, NTSC-CCIR 601 and anamorphic is checked.
    I also have still photos motion control stuff, PS tiffs, that do not have anamorphic checked.
    Form here on is where I get confused.
    Under settings, I am selecting DV/dvc-NTSC for compression frame rate 29.97, medium compressor, scan mode, interlaced, and aspect 4:3.
    The filters setting I don't use.
    The size setting I'm trying 320x240 with aspect ratio and de interlace video UNCHECKED.
    Is this a good workflow for the web. I notice on 640x480 my titles (livetype) seem kind of jagged.
    Any help preparing a project for the web would be appreciated. If you need more info let me know.
    Thanks so much.
    Jonathan

    Thanks for the additional comments and ideas.
    In terms of profile, as I mentioned, the intermediates will be going off to the editor (off-site) for editing on his FCP suite.  I'll stick to working in the prescribed HDTV (Rec. 709) space, and I've given him all the detail I can of how I'm working, but crucially I haven't stood at his edit-suite to see how the stuff looks.
    But, he's no newbie, so I'm hoping it'll be OK.
    Blasted shame about the H.264 BluRay not being compatible with QT - I thought I had this whole issue beat until that came along.  It's not a matter of disk space here, but the editor is mithering that the intermediates we are testing, in either PNG, or Animation, and a couple of others, are choking his playback.
    I'm not sure what to say about that, other than to go down this road of trying to squish these intermediates as low as possible without wrecking the look, hence finding that the DNxHD is providing the best solution.  If it had been a SD project, I might well have tried the native H.264, even over our normal PNG workflow.
    So what will play the native H.264 BluRay compressed output?

  • Need Help With An Application That Produces Live Images Within Tilelists

    At the moment I have an application which is meant to produce live thumbnail images of websites. Currently how it does this is a html component (myhtml) loads websites via it's location property changing from website to website and upon fully loading of each site a "snapshot" is taken of the html component and saved as a bitmap and applied as the source of an image corresponding to that particular site (abcnewsimage and bbcnewsimage). However I now need to insert these snapshots within the 'icon' properties of 2 array collections (myTilelistAArrayCollection and myTilelistBArrayCollection) which act as dataproviders to populate 2 tilelists (mtTilelistA and myTilelistB).
    Basically I need the same images to appear automatically within the tilelists the way they do in the 2 images as the snapshots are taken by applying the same bitmaps into the currently empty 'icon' properties of the 2 tilelists i.e. the icon of the ABC News Item of both array collections must be the same as the abcnewsimage and appear as it appears and the same for the BBC News Item icon being the same as the bbcnewsimage picture as that appears.
    It should look like the images are appearing in the tilelist at the same time as they are appearing in the regular images. What will I need to put into the icon properties to do this?
    I hope this makes sense and if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. :-)

    Cheers Flex harUI. From what I can see superimage is mainly used to keep images at better quality. What I'm concerned with is having the images set within the 'icon' properties of the 2 tilelists AS they are set within their specific images. I've tried databinding by doing this for example:-
    {id:
    "ABC New Item", label:"ABCNews", icon:"{abcnewsimage.source}"},
    I hoped that would cause the icon field of the array collection to be populated by the source of the abcnewsimage so that as the abcnewsimage is populated by the snapshot that is taken of the abcnews website the icon field of the abc news item in the array collection would be too so that furthermore the tilelists would then be populated by these images. Basically as each snapshot appears in it's specfic image it needs to be loaded into the icon property of the array collection too. In the end the icons should look as if they are appearing within both the tilelists the same way as they are appearing within the images if that makes sense. The images should be loading within the tilelist one at a time as they are in the regular image components.

  • Need help with href link that submits

    I need some help. I dynamically create HTML that displays a horizontal row of page numbers in Position 8. Although they look like page numbers to the use, are not true Apex pages, but rather "logical" pages that change the content in a single Apex physical page. The URL that gets returned from the HREF sets a variable in the page. Then I need a submit to occur so that all my "after submit" processes run, and the page re-renders. Is this even possible? I've been unsuccessful so far.
    Thanks.

    Martin,
    Two things...
    1. Be careful about "hard coding" values in a link. I don't know if you've already done this, but the link should use substitution variables as so...
    f?p=&app_id.:&app_page_id.:&app_session.::NO::P94000_LOGICAL_PAGE_NUM:2
    When the page renders each substitution variable will be replaced with the correct value.
    2. Not that it really matters, but you named your variable starting with P94000. Typically this would indicate the variable appears on page 94000. Is this the case?
    The problem with what you want to do is that it can be done so many different ways. Each way is not necessarily better than the other. Number 1 above is using a link in the traditional sense. It's a link to the same page (achieved by using app_page_id). It will not submit the page but it contains enough information to set the value of a variable and you can code off of that variable's value.
    You could use a JavaScript trick, but I wouldn't bother for this. In addition, you could use the request value over a variable value to feed off of but since you already started with the variable I'd stick with that.
    The first thing you need to do is figure out if your variables value is being set with the link... Let me know if you have more questions.
    Regards,
    Dan

  • Need help with CPM workflow and workbook

    we can't get the CPM reportbooks to work. we are using version 5.0. I followed all the steps, but can't figure out what I didn't do correctly. I made sure that the report work by itself. then, I added the report into the reportbook and tried submitting the report book. but nothing got submitted. I don't see any file in the queue. any help or tips would be appreciated. We are also having a problem with workflow. I modified the xml file settings, but when i went to workflow administration, the screen is blank instead of showing a hieararchy of cost centers. please help.. thanks.

    Michael:
    You have a very detail and involved post.
    I'd suggest you take a look at speaking with an experience Final Cut Server consultant and integrator. Most of the storage and Edit-In-Place over ethernet configurations you have now is completely unsupported by Apple. So only someone with experience in this area will be able to help you really.
    If you'd like to explore this option. I can help find someone that maybe able assist you based on the geographic area that you are in.

  • Help with formula variable that will give me period #

    column A = $  for fiscal year period  variable  (using 0RMA_FIP,  SAP delivered variable for period)
    Column B = $ for fiscal year period  variable minus 1  (previous period)
    In Column C,  if fiscal year period entered in 0RMA_FIP was 001/YYYY  (january)  I want column C to be zero,  if not,  it will be a variance between column A & Column B.
    I think know how to do boolean logic:  (FV_Period == 1) *0 + (Column B % Column A)
    What i am having trouble with is creating FV_Period  as a replacement path formula varialbe so that it will contain the value of the period,   1 for January,  or 2 thru 12 for other months..

    While creating the Formula variable with replacement type, you need to mention the offset start and offset length.
    I believe if your Fiscal Period is displayed as 2010009 then
    offset start = 5 and offset length = 3 should give you the value 009 which is required.

  • Need help with digital photos that turn fuzzy in Final Cut Pro 5

    I read the whole thread on using still pictures in FCP 5 without finding a solution to the problem I am having these days. The digit pictures I am using are all around 1632 x 1232 pixels (230 dpi), they are about 43.8% after I drop them onto the timeline and I zoom in to no more than 75%. I don't know why dark colour edges in the pictures look pixelated. The picture quality (sharpness) also does not look not as good as it appears in the viewer. I tried resizing them in photoshop before bringing them onto FCP but that does not improve the picture quality. I also tried various video filters: Shift, de-interlace, but without any satisfactory result.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions on this issue.

    It's almost to start guessing because you seem to have tried everything. But we can't tell if you applied these changes or filters properly without watching you or your output.
    My main problem is pixelated edges especially when there is a big contrast in colour. <</div>
    this could just be what you're stuck with. DV and MPEG2 are terrible codecs for hard edges. Professionally produced DVDs are carefully encoded using bigger-badder tools than you have at your disposal.
    Don't resize your images in PS, just bring them in full size and scale them locally in FCP. An image that is 1kx1k will only display about one-fourth of the image in the Canvas at full size because the Canvas only displays about 500x700 pixels.
    The scaling algorithm in FCP totally blows but it's a video app and should not be compared to PS. You do not need Photoshop scaling quality, wasted energy. What you DO need is proper motion blur for your moves, a bit of Gaussian to hide the inevitable artifacting.
    Open the manual and look up rendering options and render settings and realtime settings. The FCP5 settings offer some interesting options with meaningless descriptions.

  • Need help with tree edit distance and restricted top-down mapping algorithm

    *This topic was posted a while ago in "java programming" section but was suggested to try here
    Hi everyone,
    A couple of days ago I posted a topic on analyzing structure similarity between two web pages. After some researching, I know I need to work out some tree matching algorithms: tree edit distance algorithm(TED) and a improved version: restricted top-down mapping algorithm(RTDM). TED is about calculating the minimum operation cost(insert, delete, replace) to map one tree into another. RTDM further restricts the 3 operations to only the leaf nodes so as to improve time complexity.
    This is the general idea but I'm having difficulties to find resources to let me understand and implement the algorithms. I'm using ACM portal (Association for Computing Machinery) to access the technical papers but I find that they do not provide enough info, google gives mostly the same technical papers and some websites which illustrate the general idea of these algorithms.
    Hoping that you can give me some guidance on these 2 algorithms. Not looking for codes but I need more details on them. Thanks in advance.

    For scientific research I prefer Scirus: http://www.scirus.com/
    Just two pages I found on a quick search:
    http://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0604037
    http://www.cs.uic.edu/~yzhai/
    The latter might not be exactly what you asked for, but you might be interested in the listed publications. I have not taken a closer look.

    Putting aside copyright issues in (naive?) belief you have a legitimate use of the material, your problem lies in the file or disk. One of them is either corrupt or not compatible with the drive you are trying to read it on. Try it on another computer (even a PC) and if you can read it on that computer make a new copy of the file on a new disk or a firewire drive (or USB stick if it fits).

  • Need help with control system that reduces a flat output signal every time a certain input exceeds given value

    I'm having difficulty setting up a closed loop control system that reduces one of my voltage outputs (connected to a high voltage system) by 30% every time a measured voltage exceeds a certain threshold value.  I'm using a USB 6229 DAQ.  I've been trying to create a waveform that looks like a DC signal, but the only waveforms that I can seem to manipulate while my VI is running are the stock waveform types.  Also, I've tried to use a formula node or conditional structure to update the output value every time the measured voltage exceeds a given value, but everything I do reinitializes the output value every time it runs or won't store the previous signal value.  I'm using LabVIEW 8.6 and don't have the PID or similar express VI's.  I've attached the mess I've got working right now.  Can anyone help?  I'm really stuck!
    Thanks!

    I'm sorry it's such a mess; I'm still pretty new at this.  These are both little driver programs for a larger overall control program. 
    Output control is meant to send a flat signal to the DAQ whose value can be manipulated while the VI is running.  I have the second activated segment merely to check the values being output.  I didn't realize I attached a version with a meaningless control...I had a control where the user would put in the stating voltage (the high voltage source has a 1V-100V setting for external control).  I've attached this slightly different but equally dysfunctional version.  Ideally, I would have liked something like the analog signal generator vi to come with an input wiring for offset on the DC signal.  Most of the code was diabled because it is copied from an example; it is largely rubbish.  I initially used the DAQ Assistant, but when things weren't working out I switched to putting in each step manually to try to troubleshoot.
    As far as HiV step down is concerned, I've tried something different with a nested case structure (if that's the right terminology?), and I've attached that file.  I think this problem has been solved, but you never know!

    The previous post is basically correct but one thing catches my eye here and that is the fourth element in the structure which is a function pointer. The LabVIEW system can't really deal with this without quite some involved programming I would not recommend anyone to try without some very good C programming knowledge.
    So if the API description doesn't tell you that it is valid to just pass in here a NULL value to disable the callback, writing a wrapper DLL that translates this into a more LabVIEW friendly interface is by far easier to do.

  • Need help with FCP workflow

    I have a HDV mpeg2 project that uses extensive chromakeying and motion graphics. Should I transcode my native files to prores422 and use a proress timeline in FCP?
    If the answer is YES, is mpeg streamclip (freeware) a good program to use for the transcode?

    It's really not easy to do chroma keys with HDV material. Transcoding it to ProRes won't add the color information necessary for a clean key that wasn't recorded in the first place. HDV's color space just isn't set up for chroma keys. However graphics and any material NOT HDV may look a bit better if you transcode to ProRes.
    That said, there are programs out there to help.
    http://www.dvcreators.net/chroma-key-in-hd/ has some included in it.
    http://www.dvgarage.com/prod/prod.php?prod=dvmatteb is a Mac program that gets good reviews for keying with consumer formats. Been around a long time I know.
    A lot of the success of a clean key is the way it was shot in the first place... You'll find that the keyer in Motion is a bit better than the one that comes with FCP too.
