Pan image and simultaneous track motion

I have a still photo that I am panning. At the same time, I want the still to move to a different (and smaller) position on the screen.
Is there a way to apply a motion path to the video track which is independent of the motion being used on the still?

Double-click the clip and load it into the viewer. Set a keyframe for both "scale" and "center" at the beginning of the clip. Set the scale to your liking as well as the position (in the canvas using "image + wireframe"). Go to the end of the clip (still loaded into the viewer) and set a "scale" and "center" keyframe. Change the scale to your liking. Then go back to the canvas and position the clip where you want it to end up. Make sure the "center" and "scale" keyframes are lined up on both ends.
That what you were looking for?

Pan image

ok i think what im loking for is some type of pan. What i mean is my projects runtime is 60 seconds and in my project i have a few still images and a few motion clips, from a far when u first look at if you see the whole project on your TV, what im trying to do is when one of my motion clips starts playing i want to be able to zoom in some and pan across the still images from left and make it to the right side on my project where the clip is and be there before it starts playing, then back again to another clip somewhere in my project where the next clip is, then last have it pan across the images and zoom back out to normal view where it had started. This will be setup as a motion DVD menu, thanks for the help.

Best to use a couple of paragraphs and full words.

How do I reduce the size of all elements in a Motion project proportionately and simultaneously?

I have created a complex Motion project with many elements. Does anyone know how to reduce the size of all elements proportionately and simultaneously in order to shrink this down to a corner logo? Thanks

Sure.
In the Layers pane, IF all of your layers are already in a single Group (if you're really a beginner, then you probably just have the one group), all you need to do is select the Group "layer" containing your design elements and clone it (type - k) -- you'll get a new layer in a new group if it's a top level group of the project called Clone Layer. (If you have more than one group, select all of them --- however, if there is an FCPX Placeholder-drop-zone-looking-layer with a label like Effect Source or Title Background, don't select that -- you'll need to command-click select just the layers that make up your logo design). [You can alternately select *everything* and command click the layers you do not want to include in the Clone.]
Creating a clone of anything in no way changes that object or objects. A clone is like a composite viewer for objects/layers -- like a tv screen is to broadcast signals...
Uncheck the Cloned Group (or selected objects - if still selected, unchecking one will uncheck all of the selected layers) to inactivate it (this will not affect the clone visibility.)
Select the Clone Layer.
Use the Properties > Transform tools to scale and position the clone layer (changing the blend mode to something like hard light, overlay or similar, and adjusting the opacity makes for a nice "watermark" [corner logo]).

Resized images and video seam blurred in motion 4...

Hello,
I don't know if my problem is a bug or a stupid mistake I did, or something basic I haven't understood about motion, but here it is:
I had to edit today a project I created in september 2009 with motion 3. (I installed 2 weeks ago motion 4). The project is made of images and text. When I opened the old project the images looked ok but seamed blurred although the render settings are at best quality.
I then made an experiment and created a new project in Motion 4 and imported one image, and when I put the quality at best, again this image look unfocused. I would probably not have noticed the problem and thought that the problem comes from the image or from the capabilities of motion, if I didn't have that old video done in motion 3 with the exact same images in the exact same size in perfect crisp quality...
I did a research in forums, but haven't found any one with a similar problem. People usually have pixelated images because they didn't put the best render quality...
I then tried to test this on a different computer with motion 4: same problem. I tried all the settings I could find in Motion, but still no result. I trash the preferences, I repaired the permission of my mac, I reinstalled motion 4, tried several images format and size but still no result.
I noticed that the problem occurs when I resize an image or when I resize a video. At 100% I get perfect quality, but when I resize them, they look blurred. Anything that requires a render seam to be a little blurred when the render quality is set to best. It seams like the anti-aliasing is working so well that it blurs everything... If I put the quality at normal settings, the elements that have been resized look sharp but pixelated...
I haven't tried to test all this again in motion 3 because I don't have access to any computer that still have that version installed. And I haven't phoned applecare yet because they are closed right now in my country, but I will phone them tomorrow morning and let you know if I get any result with them.
I really hope I simply forgot something obvious, or maybe there is a new or old setting in motion 4 that I don't know about or haven't understood properly...
please help me
Louie
ps: My version of Motion is French, so I might not use the right english words used in the english version of Motion.

Thanks for responding.
I'm of course sizing my picture down. The project I was working on yesterday that helped me notice the problem is 300x300 pixels and the images are around 500x1000 pixels, scaled down to around 20%.
I haven't notice today that the problem occurs in other project as well. Before I was not looking in detail at the quality, and if no one tells you about it, you won't notice it. But right now all my old projects done in Motion 3, once opened in Motion 4 seam to have that blurry effect on any image or video that is scaled down.
I understand that Motion might maybe not be very good at scale down things, and might do it less perfetly then Photoshop. But what is odd is that all my old video exported when I had Motion 3 have sharp perfect scaled down images comparred to what I get today in Motion 4.
The blur I'm speaking about is very light. You won't notice it easily unless you have an old version of the same video to compare it with. But in the project I was working yesterday at 300x300 pixel, the difference was really very obvious, because at this size every detail counts.
My idea to solve my problem temporarly was to change my Motion project settings to triple its original size (from 300x300 to 900x900) and blow up everthing 300%, export the video at 900x900 and then scale it down through Quicktime instead of Motion at 300x300. This worked and my images are as sharp as they should be. This project is short and light, so I didn't mind doing this conversion, but when I will work with projects that need more render time, it's not a productiv way to work!
I noticed another odd thing about the problem, I hope I will explain this clearly by describing 3 situations:
1. I create in Motion 4 a new project with any preset.
2. I import an image or a video
3. I scale it down, by pulling one corner (=> the image or video becomes blurred)
4. In the properties inspector I type the word "100" to get it back to 100%
=> the image is still blurred, it is difficult to see, but when I import again the same image and put it next to it you can see a difference althought both image are at 100%!!!
or
1. I create in Motion 4 a new project with any preset.
2. I import an image or a video
3. I scale it down, by pulling one corner (=> the image or video becomes blurred)
4. In the properties inspector I click on the arrow in the top right corner of that reverts to the original settings the image or video
=> the image is perfect
or
1. I create in Motion 4 a new project with any preset.
2. I import an image or a video
3. I scale it down, by typing any number in the properties inspector (=> the image or video becomes blurred)
4. In the properties inspector I type the word "100" to get it back to 100%
=> the image is perfect
So it seams that my problem occurs even at 100% but only if the image has first been modified in its size by pulling one corner and than put back to 100% through the properties inspector...
hmmmm
very odd.

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.

My N80 track folder shows images and applications ...

When I open the track folder from the gallery, not only does it show my music, it also shows images and applications, though the thumbnail for the applications is the thumbnail usually shown for images, plus some of these files aren't getting deleted, now my track folder is a total mess, can someone please tell me what to do??

Can I use pan control in stereo track and balance control in mono track ?

it seems that in logic I can only use pan control in mono track and balance control in stereo track .

This is a flaw from the first days of Logic.
There is a "helper" plug in called "direction ....." - I can't remember the full name. Anyway, it gives you more control over stereo tracks. You can narrow the width (left - right) and pan accordingly.
Hope this helps.

Left and right channel panning for drummer backing tracks in Garageband - HELP

Hi there
OK, so I've finished my song on garageband that I've recorded with a USB keyboard with many STEREO keyboard parts and a click track.
I need to be able to mix down to the following specification for my drummer.
Left Channel - Mono keyboard sounds (to goto PA)
Right Channel - Same Mono keyboard sounds plus click track (to be heard through headphones)
So basically the keyboard will be the same mono track at the same volume playing through both the left and right. I cant simply put the stereo keyboard sound in the centre as that would mean the drummer would get SOME parts of the keyboards stereo fields and the PA would get the other parts of the stereo field so it wouldnt sound right.
Any ideas how to do this?
I hope I've explained myself OK

I need to be able to mix down to the following specification for my drummer.
Left Channel - Mono keyboard sounds (to goto PA)
Right Channel - Same Mono keyboard sounds plus click track (to be heard through headphones)
Here are instructions on how to split a stereo track into mono tracks:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/StereoToMono.html
On top of this, you will want to re-import the mono keyboard track back into Garageband, duplicate it onto a 2nd mono track, then add the click track (on a separate 3rd mono track of course). Then pan one mono keyboard track hard left, and pan the other mono keyboard track hard right and the click track hard right as well. Export as normal and everything should be good.

Hi,
I'm using my own image directory, under /i/ ,so it definitely can be done.
You should check the HTML source generated for the page, and see exactly how HTML DB interpreted your new path, and if it is the correct one.
You can also upload your css and images into the new application, referencing them with #APP_IMAGES#.
Hope it helps,

Recording audio and software tracks simultaneously ?

recording audio and software tracks simultaneously ?
I am recording a software piano instrument track and a vocal audio track in logic Pro X. Problem#1
When the replace"X" button is selected,
when recording audio and a software track simultaneously,
I can hear the previously recorded instrument track that I am recording over.
(very distracting)
When recording a software instrument track alone (without simultaneously recording an audio track)
The software/midi instrument track will record over and erase existing data and I will not hear the previously recorded track. (as it is suppose to do) Problem #2
Both tracks are armed ready to record.
If the software instrument track is not highlighted, it will not record.
The audio track will record regardless of whether it is highlighted or not. Craig C.

Click record on the MIDI/Inst track.
Shift click record on the audio track.

The only way I know is to use digital wartermarking and
tracking
services like DigiMarc as suggested by Bregent in your
previous thread.
It's kind of neat in that it places digital information in
the images
as noise. In most cases it's quite unobtrusive, but only you
can be the
judge of that.
The information even survives through some minor editing of
the files.
So if somebody crops your visible watermark or does some
other minor
editing, the information is still in the file.
I'm only an amateur photographer and my free trial ran out
years ago. I
did not get to see the tracking system in action with the
trial
version.

Acquiring images and detecting user event simultaneously

Hello,
I'm building an interface to acquire and process still images and videos.
As I'm a beginner in Labview, until now I haven't use multithreading, but I would like to improve my interface by allowing , for instance, the user to run the same process subvi for two different images ( there would then have two front panel popup window of the same subvi working on different images ) and to still be able to push some buttons in the interface to trigger another events. How could I do that and is it difficult to build ? For the moment, I used an architecture consisting in an event structure inside a while loop. Therefore I can't work on two images simultaneously.
Thank you for your answer !

It sounds like you want to asynchronously run one or more subVIs, and
possibly get notified when they are closed. A regular subVI call waits
until the
subVI returns, which means that at least part of the calling
diagram is waiting. If you use the VI Server to Open a VI reference and
execute the Run method, you do not need to wait for the subVI. It is
also possible to open another reference to a different VI, or to a
different instance of a .vit, a VI template file. This is a common
technique used to rum as many instances as you need of a subVI.
Finally, if you need notification of completion, then you can set up a
system using notifiers to pass the VI refnum and any additional data
back to the calling VI just before the subVI completes, or you can try
to use the VI close event and dynamic registration to intercept the
close event and harvest any data as the subVI is being closed.

When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

Keep track of images and links in a datafile

Hi,
I have set up replication between my source and destination server. How do images and contents linked in a webpage section replicate?
I think images and content reffred should be replicated seperately, as a datafile doesnot have a refrence telling images reffered should be moved.
Now the question is how to move Images and contents that are linked in the webpage along with datafiles.
One solution is to use SiteStudio section replication. If we use that how to make sure this goes through a work flow and then gets replicated?
your inputs willl be usefull

This seems somewhat like an architecture question. Let's assume you have two servers (I'll call them staging and production). You have set the Site Studio Migration Utility to automatically replicate content associated with your site from staging to production. Now in our example, on staging there is a datafile with various images and links to native content that users regularly update. You have a workflow layer applied to all datafiles of your site so that content isn't migrated into production until it has been workflow approved. I'm assuming this is how you are set up (since this is a commonly recommended architecture).
Now back to the datafile. I'm assuming the images in the datafile (as well as any linked native content) have site specific metadata applied to them, so that the Site Studio Migration utility replicates them into production just like migrates other areas of your site. If that is the case, then it is the responsibility of the workflow approver to verify that all images (and document links) look right before approving the content for auto migration.
Unfortunately, you may run into a situation like the following... You have a page that lists sales figures every month, and uses an image to visualize those sales figures. You already have a datafile in production for February as well as the associated February graphic. You create an updated sales figure datafile for March, as well as an updated associated image for March. The image migrates into production automatically, before the updated datafile referencing the updated image clears workflow. Your February sales figure page could potentially have the March sales image inside of it. This is a potential problem since there is no concept of a "group approval" for all elements that make up the contents within a datafile. You could add a layer of workflow to all native content and images, but then you'd have to be fairly certain that you were synched up properly. You could also manually migrate, but I can see where this would not be ideal either. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer.

Midi and Audio tracks simultaneously armed for recording

All, whilst engaged in laying down the bass track for the guitar solo section of my latest monster his, I encountered one of those sorts of frustrations that makes one long for some means of swift egress from this mortal coil, this vale of tears: that is, while laying down my totally awesome bass track that when they hear it will send JP Jones and Boosty Collins to employee as actuaries, I kept getting the hateful "unable to synchronize the audio and midi error." I'll spare you the catalog of the various lame attempts I understood to remedy this problem, as well as the curses directed toward my fate, and Daw ineptitude in general. Then I nnoticed that both the software instrument tracks (Addictive drums) and the audio track (aforementioned bass) were both armed for recording, signified by the red R in the track header! Well, upon de-arming the software instrument track I was able to record by bass line in a mimimum of takes, and as visions of illegal intozicants and comen of questionable morals dance through my noggin as recompsense for my trouble, with to make the point to all relative newbies such as myself that the answer to problems that seem on surface intractable as usually staring you right in the glazed eyeball.

What?...
I'm sorry maybe I don't understand everything you are sayng... but I can replay to the titles of the Topic!
Actually recording a MIDI instrument and an Audio Track symultaneously comes with serious bug!!!
you cannot use Punch-in on Fly when an Audio and instrument track is armed at the same time...
or better you can but the MIDI and audio output will be dropped for a moment
Provide a Logic feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html!
THIS IS A LOGIC 8 BUG!!! BIGGEST SERIOUS BUG!
I suggest you to use Logic 7 when you need that!
Thank you so much for remember me this..
I'm sorry no alternative solution... or.. if you have 2 Macs you can use one for Logic MIDI and another one for Logic Audio!
