Nudge/format

I'm trying to figure something out and I cannot for the life of me find an answer in the manual: I want to be able to nudge things in set intervals like I can in PT, like ms or samples. The logic manual is very vague about this. First off, what is nudge by format? What is the format? There is a mode in the arrange window like this too. And then frames and ticks? Frames seems to be mins/secs and ticks seems to be the smallest thing except samples, but it's all pretty vague still in my mind. Does anyone know this stuff?

The key commands window will give you the key commands you want. There are many more nudge variations than you will ever use. Also, a Logic / Mackie Control works great for this kind of job.
FYI, frames are related to the frame rate of the song - I usually use 30frames per second, so a frame is 1/30th of a second, a half frame is 1/60th of a second.
A tick is a midi subdivision - Logic's resolution is 960 pulses per quarter note, so a tick is one of those pules, 1/960th of a beat. Since it is related to tempo and time signature the actual time amount varies.
Also, a different method is to use the parameter window on the arrange page. Select a piece of audio to be nudged and type in delay values. Positive values play the object later, to the right, negative values play the object earlier, to the left. Since these values are ticks, you will likely find that you will use a larger value than a single tick. I use 20 ticks as my basic measure, and I call it a "beer" when it is a positive value and a "coffee" for a negative value. After a while you'll be able to notice a "beer" and even a "half a beer" (10 ticks).
The other benefit of the "beer / coffee" nomenclature is that it helps you focus on the feel of the piece rather than looking at the grid.

Bridge CS3 Preview won't begin to Play unless "nudged"

Bridge CS3 on Windows XP. I'm trying to Preview HDV .M2T files. When I select an .M2T file the first frame will appear in the Preview pane correctly. If I hit Space or the Play button, the Play "arrow" icon changes to a Pause icon, but the file won't begin to play. If I move the scrub pointer at all, the file plays correctly from that location. If I let the file play to its end, then hit Space or Play then the file starts playing correctly. It just seems the .M2T video files won't initially start playing in the preview pane unless the scrub timeline is touched. Searched all forums but couldn't find a similar problem.
Some additional details - I tried changing the file extension to .mpg but problem persists. If I go to another directory and select an MPEG-2 .mpg file it previews correctly. Same with a .m2v file. Seems like the sticking problem is with HDV .M2T files from my Sony Z1U. Will try some other formats. Could it be a codec issue? I do Nero ShowTime installed on this same PC.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - TIA.

Thanks for checking out that clip. It must be something on my system - I'm suspecting it's possibly a codec from Nero ShowTime.
I did double-check the two items you suggested. The "play automatically" box does as it should and tries to start playing the clip, but just as if I were to hit Space it simply freezes at the first frame. In the thumbnails size box I've entered 999MB with no change.
Again, it's not that the clips won't play at all in Preview. They will play if I nudge the scrub bar. They'll also play from the start if I first play them to the end. It's just the very first time you try to play (or autoplay) the clips, they won't go. Strange...
Well, thanks again for trying and if anyone has any other suggestions I'd appreciate them.

Multicam Clip - Nudging Selected Clip Moves Unselected Clips

Been having problems now for a while with on several projects when I need to manually align clips in a Multicam Clip. For instance when creating the Multicam Clip FCPX doesn't get some of the clips aligned 100% correctly. When I attempt to select a particular clip and nudge it it starts moving all the clips to the right of the selected clip. Suddenly I find the multicam is a complete mess and have to start again. I have to constantly fine work arounds because of this. It's driving me crazy and making what would be a very quick process with the help of FCPX audio align feature a huge nightmare.
Anyone else come across this. It doesn't happen all the time. And I've haven't been able to single out what starts causing it. It doesn't seem to be linked to a particular type of clip as it happens on many different formats such as 4K, 1080, mov, avchd etc.
I've shown this to Apple technical support on several occasions and they were not sure what is causing it, but did witness it themselves. I do believe this to be a bug and it's driving me crazy because it's wasting so much of my time. After spending hours finding work arounds and manually readjusting clips again and again, I would actually get this done much faster doing it 100% manually like I used to do in Adobe Premier CS6. Or perhaps use Adobe Premier CC which has audio align?

Thanks for the trying Luis. Much appreciated.
It must be something in my footage or some combination of something I'm doing.
Looks like I'm going to have to spend some time trouble shooting this to figure out what's causing it if other people aren't having the same issue. Apple was unable to reproduce it also.
Ya, the position tool is selected. I don't think it has anything to do with how I'm manipulation the footage itself. It has to be some weird combination of events together causing this. I'm wondering if it's something in the GH4 footage. I thought it may be only happening when I have GH4 4K footage mixed with 1080 but yesterday I had a multicam clip with only 1080 and it was happening.
Or it's something specific to my laptop and FCPX.
I'm going to make a quick demo video and post it for reference. Maybe someone can see something I'm doing wrong or at least show what I'm doing so someone can try to reproduce it.

Same input and output format, Why does Final Cut want to transcode it when I export?

I am taking Prores 422 (HQ) footage from a BlackMagic HyperDeck studio throwing it in FCPX adding a few cross desolves and exporting ProRes 422 (HQ) and it insists on transcoding the entire project rather than just writing it to disk. Am I missing something here? I've double checked and all of the cross fades are rendered in 422 (HQ). I swear we were able max out our disk speed and export the video 3 to 4 times faster but it seems to have changed in the last few FCPX updates.
Is anyone else noticing this?

I work with a lot of different video formats, and sometimes I have to go back into a new Project and check that the framerate/format matches my original footage and output. I also check Field Dominance in Inspector -> Info -> Settings View.
Hope this might help!

ps~ Maybe the canvas got nudged a pixel or something?

InDesign - file from other won't let me nudge

I received a file from someone and I'm new to CS6 (and admittedly work in this program the least so excuse me if this is a stupid question) but I can't nudge anything where I want it - text boxes won't move on a few taps (nudges) but then will jump in leaps and bounds. The leading on a font won't allow me to change it to 12, 13, or 14, and then accepts 15 but it looks like 50? Some kind of setting is telling all these items to act this way - I've tried to hunt down text wrap and that doesn't seem to be it, I've tried to delete predefined "styles" and I've looked high and low for format" but can't find it.. GRRR please help, I don't want to rebuild (and even copying pasting this text into a clean document makes it act this way)!

text nudging is not about using arrows - for example there is a text box (headline) above the body copy box and if i try to nudge the body copy towards it, it literally pushes the text inside the body copy down a return. There is a setting here and I can't find it - it seems every item in this layout has a "stay away from me!" by X pixels setting, and I'm going mad trying to find it.
leading is done in leading box and for as long as I have used ID have never seen this - not sure why increments would effect this - if you want 14 point leading or 15 point leading and have a paragraph selected it should do it!

Section formatting

Hello,
i have a problem with section formatting.
When i:
a) put boxes or subreports inside two adjacent sections,
b) set X and Y of it's size position to 0 and
c) adjust it to match height and width of a section
sometimes line between two sections are wider then they suppose to be and sometimes they are right.
Is there any rule regarding this cases?
thanks in advance

hi,
try going to the File menu, Options, Layout tab. ensure that the Grid Size is the lowest possible...0.083 inches.
unfortunately cr never remembers this setting so you have to do this each time.
this should allow you to nudge everything so they line up better.
cheers,
jamie

Can i nudge textframe in other way?

Now i use this:
b mBnds = mTextFrame.GeometricBounds
b mTextFrame.GeometricBounds = Array(mBnds1(0) + 5, mBnds1(1) + 5, mBnds1(2) + 5, mBnds1(3) + 5).
Ii there another way to shift/nudge an object? Or it's right way?

Sub Move([To], [By])
Member of InDesign.TextFrame
Moves the TextFrame to a new location. Note: Either the 'to' or 'by' parameter is required; if both parameters are defined, only the to value is used. / To: The new location of the TextFrame,in the format (x, y). as Array of 2 Units (Doubles or Strings), Spread, Page or Layer / By: The amount (in measurement units) to move the TextFrame relative to its current position, in the format (x, y). as Array of 2 Units (Doubles or Strings)
or you can play with Transform (new in CS3)
Sub Transform(In As idCoordinateSpaces, From, WithMatrix, [ReplacingCurrent], [ConsideringRulerUnits As Boolean = False])
Member of InDesign.TextFrame
Transform the page item / In: The coordinate space to use / From: The temporary origin during the transformation as Array of 2 Doubles, idAnchorPoint enumerator or Array of Arrays of 2 Doubles, idCoordinateSpaces enumerators, idAnchorPoint enumerators, idBoundingBoxLimits enumerators or Long Integers / WithMatrix: Transform matrix as Array of 6 Doubles or TransformationMatrix / ReplacingCurrent: Transform components to consider; providing this optional parameter causes the target's existing transform components to be replaced with new values. Without this parameter, the given matrix is concatenated onto the target's existing transform combining the effect of the two as idMatrixContent enumerator, Array of idMatrixContent enumerators or Long Integer / ConsideringRulerUnits: If true then a ruler based origin is interpreted using ruler units rather than points. The default value is false. This parameter has no effect unless the reference point is specified relative to a pa

I install window 8 and Unfortunatly all drive format. And all drive mix, now i have only 1 DRIVE C. I want Bit locker Drive's data Back

Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
please please help me.

Hi,
I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.
Please refer to the link below for the statement:

IPod not recognized by iTunes, Windows Vista prompts to format iPod drive

Hello,
I have IPod 80GB which I rarely use. Yesterday when I wanted to use it, I went to add a few new audios to it, connected to my computer and launched iTunes. I added the folder which contained audios to iPod, synced it and wanted to disconnect, but iTunes took excepionally long to finish.
When I clicked on 'eject' icon, I go a message saying 'some files are being accessed' or something like that. I waited for 5-10 minutes but it won't finish up, so I unplugged my iPod as I had to leave.
Later when I wanted to play, I noticed I had no audios in iPod at all.
Later when I got home, connected it again to computer, launched iTunes, but iTunes won't show iPod. A few minutes later, windows (Vista) prompted a message saying that it needs to format N: drive (which was iPod).
I tried diagnostics on tis site, restarted/reset iPod etc, but it didn't solve the problem. I removed and reinstalled iTunes as per instructions, still no use.
Then I called Apple support Canada and the guy on the phone said I need to pay to get support. He said he'd send me some documents via email which would solve the problem and hen I wouldn't have to pay. I gave him my email address, but so far I have recieved no emails from him. I have checked my spam and junk folders, just in case, but nothing there.
Anyhow, this issue came up all of a sudden, there has been no physical damage to iPod, I barely use it. maybe for few minutes here and there a month. I have had numerous problems in the past every time a new iTunes update come, it always creates problems. Last year I spent many hours after iTunes update make iPod unrecognizable so I had to go back to older version, then upgrade etc. I don't remember how I solved the issue, but it took a while and it turned out to be something of iTunes version issue.
I wonder if this is another of such issue. I hope its not a hardware issue with iPod. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

Format C drive, what steps to take for retaining all data of iTunes?

Hello
I want to format my C drive of Laptop and shift my itunes to E drive. I'm on windows 7. C drive is having itunes and in that I have synced my 2 iphones and 1 ipad.
Now I want to format the C drive and want to retain all the data, backup, media etc of my synced data with the itunes.
What I've done is that I transferred my music location from C to E drive by using apple forum discussion. I changed destination to E drive in ADVANCED TAB in Edit-Preferences. Then orgainzed data. That was successful.
Now please help me on what to do next so that i can retain my all my data of itunes safe before formatting my C drive.
Thanks in advance

This definitely isn't intended as a substitute for tt2's tutorial (which is comprehensive and more detailed - in case of any differences I'd follow what's stated there), but in summary you should be doing the following. I've assumed that, as per your original post, you've changed your media location to E:\iTunes and consolidated the library. You now have a "split library" where:
E:\iTunes contains a folder called iTunes Media which in turn contains several subfolders such as Automatically Added to iTunes, Audiobooks, Music, ...
C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes contains the following folders and files:
Album Artwork (folder)
Previous iTunes Library (folder)
iTunes Library Extras.itdb (file)
iTunes Library Genius.itdb (file)
iTunes Library.itl (file)
iTunes Library.xml (file)
I'd suggest making sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes before proceeding - by default, this will be the version that you download and install when you rebuild your PC.
Before you change anything else, exit iTunes. Now copy all of the folders and files in C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes to the same folder on your external drive (E:) that contains your media folder. You should now have this:
or something very similar. Now restart iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key. You will see this dialog:
Select "Choose Library ..." and navigate to the folder on your external drive with the content as described above. Select the iTunes Library.itl file and click OK. iTunes will load - check that everything you expect to see is there.
You now have a "portable library", i.e., all your media and the files that iTunes uses to organize them. You can use this in conjunction with any PC running Windows and iTunes (noting limitations regarding your iTunes account and authorizations). As tt2 suggested in his response, before you go any further:
Make a backup of your new portable library to another device.
De-authorize your iTunes account.
Back up everything else you need to retain from the C: drive of your PC (this is beyond the scope of this forum - there's plenty of help out there on various Microsoft sites, etc.). Just remember that once you take the plunge and reformat the C: drive anything that you haven't backed up is gone ...
Once you've reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows, install iTunes. As befpre, hold down the SHIFT key when you start it up and select the iTunes Library.itl file on your external drive. You can then re-authorize iTunes and be back in business ...

Iomega external hard drive either 'not found' by Time Machine or is now in 'read only' format

I don't know what's going on with my iomega external hard drive. Sometimes the HD is recognised by the computer; other times it isn't; if it isn't I can restore to an earlier back up via Time Machine app; but it's like the disk isn't writable.
Ten days ago, I had trouble backing up my iMac using Time Machine. After turning it off and restarting my external hard drive, it backed up successfully.
However, today I am trying to back up my files, and TM tells me it can't find the external hard drive. Nothing has changed -- I have been out of town this past week -- but somehow my HD now seems to be in 'read only' format. It does turn on, and I could restore my computer to an earlier back up.
"Mac OS X can't repair the disk. You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
Annoyingly, despite my HD not showing in Finder or on my Desktop (as it usually does), when I simply turn it off I get that warning message "The disk was not ejected properly".
Have tried verifying and repairing using Disk Utility, to no avail.
Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it. I'm guessing this would wipe the disk clean and I'd have to create the initial back up image all over again -- I'm reluctant to do this since this HD is my only back up and if it all goes tits up I'll be up that famous creek without a paddle.
Thoughts, suggestions, input all welcome and deeply appreciated -- thank you!

It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.

That will erase it. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast). Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27. If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups.

I have formatted my SSD and hard drive.... I am running a clean install from disk of 8.1 pro. I cannot determine if it is a compatibility

issue or hardware issue. I had run a memory test and scan disk for bad sectors from the bios. As administrator, I enabled automount in diskpart to allow windows to assign a drive name.
From the bios, I can see both drives and only the ssd. I have not pinpointed when the harddisk is unmounted. It is formatted as NTFS. I can hear it unmount either during boot or upon waking from sleep mode. The bios sees no bad sectors nor does windows.
However, when I had the intel compatibility software installed, my hard drive never mounted. I did a restart and inorder for windows to see my hard drive. I disabled the intel software for the 4th gen i7 processor. This problem is happening less often. I do
not think I have solved the problem. Intel or Windows... I think a bit of both.
If there is a software patch, please guide me to it. I am in school and use my laptop ALL the time. I believe it is a compatibility issue. I have attached this from searching intel's site for downloads and windows is up to date.
I am quite concerned because I can hear my harddrive unmount. It is labeled as healthy NTFS partition. I have checked for hidden volumes and done everything I know to do to check the integrity of the hardware as administrator. I have searched microsofts
libraries and forums and have done everything I can find as suggestions.
I have checked for malware, viruses, etc. My only clue this is going to happen is the hard disk spins up and I hear the fan, then I hear it unmount the drive. Of course, after unmounted there are other issues which I have ruled out as the cause of the problem.
Basically, I am experiencing a lack of swap space after my hard drive unmounts.
Any suggestions, are welcome! I would really like to know if this is a known windows issue. I should not have to disable intel's processor software. I paid for the features of the i7 and would like to utilise the processor.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

Format and partition external drive if you want dual use Mac / PC

I had purchased from the Apple store in France a portable hard drive Iomega eGO USB 2.0/FireWire ov 250 Go capacity (P/N 31713900; Model: RPHD-C; S/N: FEAJ02011V)
Originally formatted HFS+, it would mount on any of my Mac desktops with Firewire, easily on the iMac using USB and with great difficulty on the iBook with the two USB plugs (together). It did not mount on any windows PC I had used for tests (so reformatting it FAT(32) or NTFS was *not an option).
I had reformatted it FAT32 using the iMac under mac OS 10.5 for use on multiple computers including Windows PC's. The drive would now accept to:
Mount on the iMac and iBook using Firewire
Mount on the iMac using USB, but it will NOT:
1 - Mount on the iBook using USB, nor
2 - Mount on any Windows PC using USB
The solution was found at the office with our IT helpdesk.
Whether I format it FAT 32 or NTFS (using the Paragon NTFS for mac OS X 10.5) on my iMac under OS 10.5, including when I do the same on another external drive than the Iomega, the PC would not recognise it while it would always mount on a Mac and it was even impossible on the PC to reformat it. The solution is (at least in windows world), you need to (1) format the drive, AND (2) partition the drive, even if this involves creating a single partition. Using Disk Utility of the Mac, I had only formatted the drive and not partitioned it into a single partition and Disk utility did not request that from me. The drive as prepared was perfectly usable on any Mac anyway.
The cure was to go back to the imac which had formatted it, mount it (it mounts), (1) reformat and (2) partition, using a single partition.
Then, the drive would instantly be recognised on the PC as a F drive, whether under FAT 32 or under NTFS.
The blame is in me and on the Apple Drive utility which did not help me (trust it would have been worse in windows world, but this is a bad mark on disk utility)
My suggestion to Apple would be that Disk Utilisty should tell us, once we have formatted a drive (HFS+, FAT 32 or NTFS using Parangon) that we are not done yet and still must create the partition(s), even if we only need one partition.

Data Recovery from Partitioned and formatted Bit Locker Encrypted Drive

Recently because of some issues in windows 7 installation from windows 8 installed OS. it was giving as the disc is dynamic windows can not be installed on it. so at last after struggling hard no other solution i partitioned and formatted my whole
drive so all data gone included the drive which was encrypted by bit lockers.
For recovery i used many software such as ontrack easy recover, get data back, recovery my files professional edition but still i couldnt able to recover my data from that drive. then i found some suggestion Using CMD to decrypt my data first
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee523219(WS.10).aspx
where it shows it successfully decrypt my data at that moment my drives were in RAW format excluding on which windows is installed and then in CMD i check Chdsk which also shows no problem found. but now problem is still i coudnt able to recover
my data then i format the drive D and again tried to recover data using above software after decryption still no result.
Now i need assistance how i can recover my encrypted drive as it was partitioned and also formatted but decrypted also as i have its recovery key too. thanks

Hi ,
I am afraid that we cannot get the data back if the drive has been formatted even if use the
BitLocker Repair Tool.
You’d better contact your local data recovery center to try to get data back.

If the drive was both formatted and bit locked you cannot recover your data.
