Pan and Scan and zoom

The pan,scan and zoom on a still photo seems to be much smoother on the cheaper application 'Photo to Movie' than it is with FCE. Is it thus better to do those movements on a still on PtoM and then import them into FCE ?
I am working with FCE 2.
Anyone any ideas?

Sure, why not. Use whatever tools work well for you.
I had a quick look at the Photo to Movie site and one thing to be aware of is that of you export in the DV Stream format it might require rendering in FCE. I don't know how much control on export you have with Photo to Movie, you'll have to let us know what the options are.
Anyway this isn't a big issue and can be worked around if need be.

  • How to Pan and Scan and keep a mask stationary?

    I am trying to pan and scan a clip that has mask.  But I do not want the mask to follow the pan and scan.  Can this be done?
    I am using CS5 on Win7

    Thanks.  So I just need to create a solid, punch my hole in it using the mask, disable the solid visibility, then use it as a track matt for my layer that I was trying to mask.  This should work perfectly.
    But why does a mask change positions and size when I change the layer's position and scale in the first place?  If you change the track opacity, the mask opacity does not change.  Does the mask also follow a parented layer's scale, etc?   I have probably taken advantage of this "feature" in the past w/o thinking about it.  But now it sounds counter-intuitive to me.  It would be nice if there was an option for the mask size, position etc. to follow the layer's properties or not.

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC VM and SCAN and DNS and /etc/hosts (two) setup questions

    Hi,
    I am looking forward to setting up two Oracle 11gR2 RAC instances
    on my Oracle VM test machine.
    I plan on using the Oracle 11gR2 RAC VM template.
    I want the final Oracle 11gR2 RAC instances to have SCAN that uses DNS.
    The DNS will be pre-installed in the JeOS.
    My first simple question about the setup is the following.
    In my DNS name file, for example,
    /var/named/chroot/var/named/milkyway.univ.db
    do I need to provide the racnode1 and racnode2 information,
    for example,
    # DNS name file (snippet)
    myjeos IN A 192.168.1.150
    racnode1 IN A 192.168.1.161
    racnode1-vip IN A 192.168.1.163
    racnode2 IN A 192.168.1.162
    racnode2-vip IN A 192.168.1.164
    rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.131
    rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.132
    rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.133
    Or, can I just provide only the rac-scan information
    # DNS name file alternate (snippet)
    myjeos IN A 192.168.1.150
    rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.131
    rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.132
    rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.133
    What I am getting at is the following.
    Within the install process, will racnode1, racnode1-vip, racnode2,
    and racnode2-vip host names and their IP address be written
    to the RAC instances /etc/hosts files? (So I should not bother
    to put them in the DNS name file like '# DNS name file alternate (snippet)'?)
    Or, should I put the racnode and racnode-vip host names and IP addresses
    in the DNS name file like '# DNS name file (snippet)'?
    The second question is the following.
    Are the cluster name and the scan name allowed to be different?
    Currently, I would plan them to be different,
    for example, rac-cluster and rac-scan.
    Or, are they required to be the same,
    for example, rac-cluster and rac-cluster.
    Thank you.

We write this data out to /etc/hosts just to reduce the amount of round-trip DNS requests the cluster nodes make for themselves.
    Are the cluster name and the scan name allowed to be different?They can be different.

  • RAC and SCAN and TNS

    Hi
    suppose that I have got a RAC (Oracle 11gR2) environment and my SCAN IPs are
    172.21.28.115
    172.21.28.116
    172.21.28.117
    I can define TNS name like this
    RAC=(DESCRIPTION =
                (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=scan)(PORT=1521))
                 (CONNECT_DATA=
                    (SERVICE=DEDICATED)
                    (SERVICE_NAME=rac.com)
    )Consider that I don't want use DNS in client side ,_But my RAC servers have a DNS for SCAN_
    for example my application server can't use DNS
    Now can I substitute the IPs with scan like follow example ?
    RAC=(DESCRIPTION =
                (LOAD_BALANCE=YES)
                (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=172.21.28.115)(PORT=1521))

                 (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=172.21.28.117)(PORT=1521))
                 (CONNECT_DATA=
                    (SERVICE=DEDICATED)
                    (SERVICE_NAME=rac.com)
    )Do I miss any thing if I don't use DNS in Clients?
    thanks

    Consider that I don't want use DNS in client side ,But my RAC servers have a DNS for SCANyou can still use VIP to make connectivity even you've configured SCAN.
    entry would be same as we were using in 10g.
    DB =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = ****)(PORT = 1521))
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = ****)(PORT = 1521))
          (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)

  • I'm thinking about the Mini or the MacAir.  I only use a computer to email, web surf, write documents, store photos, print and scan and pay bills on line.  That's it.  Any opinions? Thanks in advance.

    I

    The Macbook Air is a very light, very portable system (my Wife has one).
    The Mac mini will force you to sit in one location, but you can put a larger monitor on it (at an extra cost) along with the keyboard and mouse (or trackpad) you desire.  But even with adding keyboard, mount/trackpad, monitor, the Mac mini can be cheaper than the Macbook Air.
    If you do not have a lot of writing to do, you might even consider an iPad or iPad mini.  You can use a wireless bluetooth keyboard with the device if you need to write large volumes of words, but even with a keyboard, it will be a much more inexpensive option.
    All in all, I would lean towards the Macbook Air, but that is just me

  • Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

    I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

    Hi Anton,
    thank you for your advice.
    In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
    But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
    I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
    Thx

  • Fax and Scan on Server 2008 Terminal Server

    Summary: Fax and Scan does not appear in the start menu on a terminal server with desktop experience installed.  Any ideas why? 
    I am running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise as  terminal server for about a dozen users.  I would like to enable them to use the fax server capability of our Windows SBS 2003 server.  From what I can tell, they can access the fax server using the Fax and Scan software on server 2008.  All of the documentation I've read says that when I enable the "Windows Desktop Experience" feature on Server 2008, the Fax and Scan software should appear in the Start Menu.  It's not there.  I have un-installed and re-installed Desktop Experience, but still no Fax and Scan.  From what I can see in the documentation, I don't need to install the fax server role to get the software, just the desktop experience feature.
    Is is possible that fax and scan and/or other features of desktop experience are disabled when terminal services are enabled?  Is there something else I'm missing?
    Thanks,
    Lee

     
    Hi,
    According to your description, I suspect that you may misunderstand “Desktop Experience” and “Windows Fax and Scan”.
    Based on my research, if you want to use Fax and Scan services on Windows Server 2008, you should install the Fax Server role from Server Manager first.(For instructions, see Install the Fax Server Role. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771198.aspx)
    After you installing the Fax Server Role, the Windows Fax and Scan item will appear in the Start Menu(Start\All Programs\Windows Fax and Scan).
    The Desktop Experience includes most of applications and features that are provided in the Windows Vista. Users who are using computers running Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate, and Windows Server 2008 can send a fax using the Windows Fax and Scan feature—either using a fax device attached locally or a fax server. To access this feature on Windows Server 2008, you must install Desktop Experience, which is available from Server Manager.
    You may refer to the following the steps to install Desktop Experience:
    1. Open Server Manager: click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and click Server Manager.
    2. In the Features Summary section, click Add features.
    3. Select the Desktop Experience check box, and then click Next. and then click Install
    Hope this is helpful.

  • I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Epson Printer Software update 2.7 on the 29th of June and now I cannot print anything.  I have contacted Epson and Apple and both have tried to fix the problem without success. I am using a MacBook

    Does anybody else have this problem?  Epson and Apple don't have any solution.  The message I get from the printer is as follows:
    Error/library/printers/EPSON/Inkjet Printer2/Filter/rasteroescpII.app/Conents/MacOS/rasteroescpIIfailed

    Thanks for the replies guys.  Epson put me through a complex set of instructions to install an earlier driver.  The problem was not solved.  Apple also tried to solve the provlem by getting rid of the printer, unplugging it etc and then re starting and checking computer/printer communication by printing a test page from the system preferences/Pring & Fax options.  This worked proving the the computer and printer are talking to each other. 
    The printer works properly as a stand alone unit.  That is, I can copy and print and scan and print with no problems.
    The Apple support guy didn't suggest any Apple alternative drivers so I assume there aren't any.
    Neither the Epson nor Apple assistants seemed interested in the printer generated error message.  I would have thought it would at least provide a clue to the problem to someone with technical expertise.
    It seems that there are a lot of problems with the 10.6.8 update so maybe Apple will get to work and bring it up to scratch.  I hope it gets things right soon.

  • Panning and Scanning around type (or any object I guess)

    Hopefully this is a simple one for the Motion Experts out there...
    If you have a block of text (let's say 2D letters on a black background), and you want to pan and scan the text, maybe starting close up on one line of the text, scanning thru some or all of the text, and then ultimately pull back revealing the entire block neatly positioned in the center of your canvas, what's the best approach to take?
    Would you use a camera even though you want the text to remain 2D?
    Do you work back to front in terms of the position and size of the text, by starting with the text where you want it to end up and then setting up moves ahead of that position in the time line?
    I've gotten close to what I want using keyframes, but it's just not as cool as what I've seen on some TV commercials I've seen.
    Any hints on the best approach?
    Thanks!

    Using a camera is the easiest approach. The text will remain 2D no matter what you do because Motion does not do 3D text without a plugin.
    I would start by putting all your text how you want it to end up, and then zoom the camera in to begin your animation.
    The camera you can animate with either keyframes or behaviors, whichever with you feel more comfortable.

  • Possible to pan and scan HD video with your home editing software?? (HD - SD size)

    Hi, using Premiere Elements 7 on WinXp and also on Win 7.
    I wonder if it's possible for us to do a pan and scan type process with our HD video? I ask because someone gave me some footage from the weekend where the composition was way too wide and large and I'd like to save the video, composed better, an SD quality.
    Given the pixel resolution it should be possible. I know that's how they convert 35mm film to fit TV, but when it comes to video, can Premiere do it?
    I can crop video in premiere but it will save the video at the same resolution, but all pixelized and looking wonky. How would I save 1080i video pan and scanned to 720 (p) or regular SD (640) which will still look decent on Youtube.
    Here is an example (note, I also squeezed the footage to 97% horizontally first)
    Can anyone give a tutorial?
    Thanks

    If it's hi-def video, you can import the video into a project set up for standard DV.
    Before you use Get Media to get the video, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck Scale to Frame Size.
    When you place your video on the timeline, it will be much larger than the Monitor, and you will only see a portion of it. You should be able to use Crop and Scale to get just what you need and still have many pixels to spare. (And don't forget to press Enter to render the video before you judge its quality.)
    Note that, depending on what format of video your original footage is in, you may need to work with the interlacing maybe reverse the field dominance. So I'd do a short test run and output to see how it looks before I committed to a full-length project.

    I have cross dissolve transitions set between images and videos, and I have the pan/zoom hold setting at "0." Despite the "0" setting, my images are static until the cross dissolve is complete. I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible. Is there a solution?

    tonyproam
    I am not sure if I am zeroing in on what you seek so please clarify...on
    I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible.
    Do you mean fading in visible versus or completely visible at the end of the transition? Whatever the case, I have not
    found a scenario to fit what you are describing.
    However, here are my suggestions for you to consider...
    1. What is the alignment of the Cross Dissolve transition - Left Clip, Between Clips, or Right Clip. If Between Clips, please try Left Clip alignment.
    2. What is the duration of the Cross Dissolve transition - you could try varying the transition duration. If less than 1 second, then please read the
    details for minimum transition duration in the following
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/03/pe-minimum-duration-for-transition.html
    Please let me know if any of the above worked for you in what you were seeking regarding pan and zoom effect and video transitions.
    Thank you.

  • How to do pan and scan on single clips?

    I have a timeline with multiple clips. I'm trying to do some pan and scan to single clips, pan and scan will be different on each of these clips. I tried to put a new "pan and scan" track, but it covers the complete timeline and I can't reduce it to the duration "covering" a single clip (as you can do with grading track). Is there a quick way to apply pan and scan to individual clips? I came from Apple Color where pan&scan was an individual tab in each clip, so it was really easy to do it and save it inside the look.

    I tried to do as you suggested, timeline become cluttered with a lot of keyframes, and I need to put 4 keyframes to each pan, to retain the basic 1.0 scale, otherwise the last keyframe value is applied to everything else.
    I hope Adobe will change this with a more intuitive per-clip pan&scan, always worked on a per-clip basis that in other grading apps and always found it fast and simple.

  • PRE10 - Pan and Scan Default New Frame Size

    Is there a way to change the Default New Frame size for a project? I have about 4 or 5 frames per page all of which need to be enlarged and my project has a total of 90 pages. So a lot of extra time is spent resizing frames. I can set the default pan and scan times under settings but I have not found a way to start off with the correct size frame.
    Thanks,
    Joe..

    Just wanted to thank you guys again. This all worked out perfectly. I had 92 photos which previously took me three days to put together and I did not like the results. Tonight it took me two hours and it came out ok (IMHO).
    Resized all photos to 1000x751 (200dpi, 1.0 pixel size). They were 2832x2128 with 1.0 pixels
    Created a new project with a default DV NTSC Standard format
    Imported them into the project
    Placed the first photo\scene in the timeline
    I set 5 pan\scan keyframes. One overall and then 4 quarter frame size
    Adjusted the lenth of the scene and pan and scan durations and saved it
    Added the other 90 photos to the timeline
    Copied the completed scene and then pasted the attributes to all the other photos except a few I didn't want to pan\scan
    I selected the clips that had the attributes pasted to them and used the TIme Stretch to set the duration the same as the first pan\scan clip
    Dragged and dropped a different transition in between each
    Added titles to the beginning and end
    Added sountrack music to the entire video
    Shared\Exported out to MPEG with NTSC Standard 4:3 format
    It took about 10 minutes to render instead of a couple hours
    Is it great, to me, no. I need to work on a few things and perhaps even reshoot the pages of the album to get better originals (or take them somewhere and scanned on a larger scanner then I have to accomodate them). My wife loved it and on average I think it looks pretty good. But the process works and the time savings are incredible so the next one will be that much better.
    So thanks again. I have lots more to learn but at least progress is being made.

  • Pan and scan

    I want to do something that should seemingly be easy, but I'm a bit stumped.
    I want to do a simple picture in picture--
    I reduced the scale of a clip to 50% so it now sits @ 50% in the center of the canvas.
    This is where I need help:
    I'd like to pan and scan the clip within it's new borders without moving the clip itself (it should stay stationary on the canvas).
    I would of thought that I could nest the clip and adjust the setting in the nest -- but it moves the whole thing!
    Thanks
    Steven

    I am horrible at explaining things!!!
    Let me try again:
    I have a 1920x1080 clip in a 1920x1080 sequence
    In my clip, there are 3 people. One is on the left side of the clip, one in the center, one in the right.
    (basically 3 people standing next to each other)
    I cropped the clip -- so now only the center person in visible.
    The left and right person is cropped (the black canvas is visible behind them).
    For this discussion, let's call the remaining portion of the clip the "Crop Box". To be clear, the "crop box" at this point only contains the center person.
    Now, I want to "scan" across my image. So, 1) first want to see left person, 2) then the center person, and 3) finally the right person. IMPORTANT NOTE: The "crop box" should not move. It should remain stationary in the middle of the canvas.
    I simply want to "scan" the clip across the "crop box"
    Thanks
