New project: Use AE or PP?
My goal is to create a video where I "help" the viewer follow along with a music score while the music is playing.
I've been using FCPX, but I think that Motion might be more suitable. When I look for a consensus on the web, it seems that AE is the 800 pound gorilla in this arena. Because I'm new to both motion graphics products, I thought I'd learn AE.
So, here's what I have:
1. A PNG graphic that I've created of a score.
2. An audio file of that music.
What I'd like to do is to "scroll" across the score and add the audio file. This would give the viewer the feeling of reading the music. Along the way I'd like to have items like lines, circles, and arrows highlight things in the score that is coordinated to the music.
What's the product to use for this? Do I create a static page in PP, add the audio, and then transfer that to AE for the scrolling? Or can I do the whole thing in AE?
Any assistance on the approach to take in either product would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thank you both for the quick replies. I started to go through some online training and purchased an ebook (Adobe Classroom in a Book for AE CS6), so I'm off.
I'm familiar with using keyframes and layers in the Apple world of the older FCS and FCPX so the concepts are not problematic. We'll see how I do when I start working through the exercises. I agree that the learning curve will be a challenge, but AE seems to be a good tool to have in my "toolbelt."
It's great to know that there are folks like you willing to take the time and effort to help. Thanks again.

New project using Daq Assistant or not ?
Hi everybody,
I need to create a software to do some realtime acquisition & analysis.
I trained myself a little bit on c# lessons to get use to this programming language; I’m also discovering Measurement Studio & Visual Studio. (I’ve background in C++).
My software will have 2 modes :
Continuous acquisition, signal plotting + signal processing & plotting (fft, 1/3 octave band filter)
Triggered acquisition, signal plotting + signal processing & plotting (fft, , 1/3 octave band filter)
I have examples in my National Instruments directory which don't use daq Assistant and code is different from generated files with daq Component.
If I use Daq Assistant ( http://www.ni.com/tutorial/4652/en/ )
I know that the code to create channel is stored in DaqTask.cs
Plotting :
NationalInstruments.AnalogWaveform<double>[] acquiredData = daqTaskComponent1.Read();
waveformGraph1.PlotWaveforms(acquiredData);
When I look to examples, like "MStudioVS2010\DotNET\Examples\DAQmxWithUI\SpectrumAnalyzer\cs "
all code to create channel is generated in Mainform.cs, there is no Daq Assistant (http://www.ni.com/tutorial/5409/en/ )
and there is a slight difference between acquired type :
private AnalogWaveform<double> data = new AnalogWaveform<double>(1000);
data = reader.EndReadWaveform(ar);
acquiredDataWaveformGraph.PlotWaveform(data);
Questions :
What is the difference between AnalogWaveform<double> and AnalogWaveform<double>[] ? why it's not the same type ? I need to do some signal processing with this signal, so what type should I use for my application ?
I didn't succeed to configure my 2 modes in daq Assistant (continuous and triggered acquisition) is it possible or should I create 2 Items in my solution, one for continuous acquisition and on for triggered acquisition ?
Kind regards,Check out the downloads section of iLounge.com. There are a handful or two of applications that will help you transfer songs from the iPod to the computer.
Another option is to network the two computers together and transfer the iTunes folder to the new Mac. All you need is an ethernet cable and to turn on file sharing in the Sharing preference panel. Depending on how old your "older" Mac is, you might need a crossover ethernet cable.
A third option is to hook up the two computers using a Firewire cable. On the older Mac make sure it is shut down, hook the two computers up, turn on the older Mac while holding down the "T" key. On the new Mac you should see the old Mac's hard drive show up. Just find the iTunes music folder and copy it over. You could also use the Migration Assistant which will be in the Utilities folder of the new Mac.
Hope this helps. -
Newbie needs advice on how to approach a new project using iMovie/Cubase
Hi all.
As you have probably guessed it's a music to picture problem, never done it before so I need some advice. I'm doing a guitar tuition DVD so there will be some playing and some speech. I can combine both real time via the mixing desk and feed it straight to the camera's mike input. This seems to be the least flexible and most low tech approach. I would prefer to fiddle about in Cubase to get the audio right before fixing it to the video. I am unsure how to use iMovie and Cubase in a combined way to produce what I'm after. Cubase will handle video and iMovie will handle sound but which way round do I do it? I'm at a loss as even what questions to ask! At the moment I'm setting iMovie to record from the camera, setting Cubase to record the audio and clapping in time with the count in to act as a sync. Once I have my audio file I can import the vid into Cubase or import the audio into iMovie. Am I missing something here or is this the right way to do it? ( I might sound vaguely clever but don't rely on it in your answers ! I'm a guitarist after all....)
TIA Nick.
,quad G5 Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)musicians are used to do everything simultanously (=band), film/video is doing each thing after the other ;-):
I would
* record the video to a camcorder, incl. guitar/music but NO voice-over…
* import that into iM…
* edit all together
* THEN use this as a "click track" for any audio processing…, mainly adding the narration
* re-import the final audio track back to iM, create videoDVD, getting rich by selling zillions of them....
advantage: you concentrate on playing guitar OR telling the tricks&clues...
besides: whatfor you need Cubase in such a project...? or is it "Guitar IN Cubase"? -
ADF in Jdev 10.1.3.2 - Wrong Page Opens When "Open Link in New Window" Used
We are former Oracle Forms/Reports developers and Struts developers in the early stages of a new project using ADF in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2. We are all new to this development environment (though not new to Java), so apologies in advance if this is trivial.
Our early work is based on samples extracted from Oracle's ADF Tutorial for Forms/4GL developers and is pretty simple at this stage. We have done little more than create a page layout and implemented skeletons of each page. As long as we click a link with the left mouse button, we can navigate from page to page as expected, no problem.
The strangeness starts when we right click a link, and select Open in New Window. For example:
(Note, all of this is taking place in our development environment: Jdeveloper running on our personal PCs / laptops, we have not even tried to deploy to an application server yet):
1. Open page 1.
2. Error 1: Right click button or tab to page 2, select Open in New Window. Page 1, not page 2, will open in the new window.
3. Close the new window so that the original page 1 is displayed.
4. Left click a link to navigate to page 2. Page 2 is display as expected.
5. On page 2, left click link back to page 1 (NOT the browser Back button). Page 1 is displayed as expected.
6. Error 2: Right click a link to page 3, select Open in New Window. Page 2, not page 3 will open in the new window.
7. Close the window containing Page 2. Left-click the link for page 3 and it will open as expected.
8. On page 3, left click a link back to page 1 (NOT the browser Back button). Page 1 is displayed as expected.
9. Now right-click the same link to page 3 as in step 6 and select open in new window and page 3 will display as expected.
The logs mention "Reusing a cached session application module instance" and I think this is where our trouble is. I considered turning this caching off (if possible) to see if it clears up the problem, but (a) I don't see where to do that and (b) it seems like we would want to use any caching features once we go to production.
I suspect we have some minor configuration error somewhere as it seems unlikely that ADF applications would all come with a "No opening in new windows allowed" warning. Or, maybe we are just missing the boat on why this shouldn't work. Either way, any useful guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!Pravin
We dont get number datatype if you have SQL92 selected as SQL Flavour. So i dont think this would help. SQL TYPE Map is JAVA basically in my project. Do you want me to import some of oracle.jbo.domains specifically or something else you want me to do

Help creating a new project in JE8.1
Hello,
As I am very new to JAVA and the IDE I am having problems creating a new project using JE8.1.
The problem that I am having is when I try to create a new project the only option under the "standard" folder is for me to create a project using an existing one. How in the world do I start from scratch?
Could there be a problem with my install? I can open and edit existing files but for some reason when I try to create a project from scratch I do not have that option
Thanks for pointing this newbie in the right direction

Problem during Template based new Project Creation
Dear Sir,
I have created a Project Mask as TW-X-XXXX-0-0-0 . Subsequently I created a Template TW-X-XX99 also .
For creating a new Project (using CJ20n) with a copy option based upon the Template project , I had given new Project as TW-A-RS10 .
Here in the newly created Project , the various WBS appearing are as TW-A-XX99-1 , TW-A-XX99-2 . However We desire that these WBS must have appeared as TW-A-RS10-1 , TW-A-RS10-2 .
Kindly guide us as what steps we should follow to resolve this problem pl .
Rgds
B V MittalHi,
Now you can proceed in the following way.
Step 1: Tr.Code:CJ91
Create the Project Template as Level-1 as TW-X-XX99
Level-2.1 as TW-X-XX99-1
Level-2.2 as TW-X-XX99-2.
Once you save the Project, release it to create your operative project by using it.
Step 2:Now Create your Operative Project By using above template.
1.Goto CJ01, then enter the following inputs.
2.project def. : TW-A-RS10
3.Project Profile: As required-mandatory
In Template Section give the following Template Info:
4.Std. project def.: TW-X-XX99
5.Enter.
6.Now you can entered into project Definition screen.
7.Click on WBS Icon on the header.Now you will entered into WBS Element hierarchy Screen.
8.Here select all WBS elements.
9.Click on Replace button on the header.
10.you can get the popup, here you can enter the following information.
search:X
replace with:A
11.click on Enter button on the popup.
again repeate the same process to replace XX99 by RS10,
Click on Replace button,
Search :XX99
Replace with : RS10
Click on Replace button on the popup.
12.Now for all wbs elements have modified as "TW-A-RS10" and you can see as you expected
Level-1 as TW-A-RS10
Level-2.1 as TW-A-RS10-1
Level-2.2 as TW-A-RS10-2.
13.Click on "check" button on the header.
14.click on "Include" button on the header.
15.Save it. -

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.
When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it. -
Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug) I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years. I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

When I open a new project what format do I use with clips from Canon Legria (1440x1080)?
I have Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and a Canon Legria HF S100 digital video camera. My frames are 1440x 1080. I have a widescreen Sony tv on which I want to play my video when it has been edited and burnt.
When I opened a new project in Premiere Pro I set it as follows:
Editing Mode: DV Pal
DV Pal Widescreen 23 KHZ
Pixel aspect D1/DV Pal Widescreen 16:9
However, I burnt the sequence as an experiment and lost lots due to cropping in the final version.
I used to have Premiere Elements. If memory served I set it as AVCD Full HD 1080i. I had no problems. I tried the AVCD 1080i setting on Premiere Pro but this didn't work either. I still got cropping.
Which settings are adviseable to ensure I can see the full clip on screen when it has been burnt? In addition, what is the difference between Anamoprhic and square pixels?
Sorry for banal questions. I got Premiere Pro because I was frustrated with Elements constantly crashing. I have to confess to being totally bewildered by the techinical information that I've read.Best is to edit in HD and export to SD.
You need the AVCHD 1080i 25 Anamorfic.
Or drag a clip into the New Item icon which will give you a matching sequence for your footage. -
I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes. Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers. When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them. Any ideas?
As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
The same song clipped - no chance to repair. -
How do I find plus-boxes to use in a new project?
I'm fresh to using RoboHelp (RH X50.1 Build 606) as I start updating our support material.
Within the RoboHelp tutorials, in addition to those in the index, plus-boxes are used to collapse elements of the tutorial script (Opening a project is one example).
I want to use plus-boxes to segregate some of our Help narrative. However, when it comes to putting a new project together, I can't find the way to do this.
It seems strange that the RoboHelp tutorial itself uses plus-boxes in this way, but doesn't appear to provide users the same incredibly useful functionality.
Where should I look?
Do I need to consider an upgrade?
If so, which version of RoboHelp contains the function?
Thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.
Mark HiggittHi Mark and welcome to the RH community.
I believe you are referring to what are called Twisties. This feature has been built into the latest release (RoboHelp 8) but that doesn't mean you can't achieve the same affect in earlier versions. You may want to check out this link and this link over on Peter Grainge's site.
Read the RoboColum(n).
