Panning & scale clips within a PIP template

I have PremPro & AEP CS6. I'm looking for the best way to play 4HD clips (layers 1-4) within a 4-square template (like "24"), but panning & scaling each clip separately within its "window". I would like to retain the highest quality for the sequence and each of the 4 clips. I prepared 4 jpeg matte files, each with a different "white" window for the 4 quadrants, and I can use the track matte key on each clip tracked to its matte to play all four clips within the windows, but when I scale or move the clips to "crop" into them, the mattes scale and move as well. What am I missing here?

To add to what Richard said, this is simple.
Edit each of the four windows in a separate sequence. When you are happy with each of the four sequences, you can create a 5th sequence and then put the four sequences on to the first four video tracks. Use the Motion effect to scale them to 50% and then move them into place. Slightly smaller than 50% if you want borders.
Once that is done, you can always go back and make changes to the original sequences.
If you truly want to pan around them, you might want to create the sequences at 50% to begin with and just scale the video down. That way you can pan and zoom in the sequence without losing any quality (as long as you never scale up to more than 100%).
Then when you drop them on a full size sequence, you just need to use the Motion effect's position parameters to move them into place because they will already be properly scaled.
As for the borders, you can simply create one matte using the Title Designer or Photoshop, and drop it on to the top video track.

  • Opening a URL from a button within a Web Template

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to provide report specific help from within a standard web template. Assuming that I had a list of help URLs for each report and an intermediary way to redirect to those URL based upon a unique id such as the reports technical name, is it possible to create a generic button from within a web template that would dynamically create a URL based on the reports technical name? I.e., http://www.example.com/page.html?ZGTRPTNME
    To date I have only used the Action "Command via Command Wizard" from within the parameters of the button Web Item. However, I did notice that a Script Function was provided. Has any used this functionality and is it possible to create a URL with the technical name of the report?

    Rekesh,
    I had a look at the document you linked however what I need to find out is how I can place the technical name (dynamically) within the web template URL (i.e., this needs to work for multiple projects over many reports that all use the same global web template).
    It's actually very easy opening a new window via javascript however finding the varible for the report technical name remains unclear. At present I am looking at command URL's. The only other option is that I use a java script substring command to pull the report technical name from the URL (although this not as clean as using command URL's).
    EDIT: Found this document: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/ef9a6c13f2025be10000000a1553f7/content.htm
    Appears that the command: sapbi_page.GetMainTemplateName(); will give me the technical name of the webtemplate although I'm finding it hard to find the command for getting the technical name of the current report.

  • Best Practices for Forms within Site Studio Templates

    Last summer our university redesigned our entire website using site studio. We only use the content server for the SiteStudio add on. During the redesign, we found that it wasn't clear how we were supposed to migrate our current web forms (applications, payment forms, etc) to sitestudio. Our current workaround is to place the form within the content server, and have it submit data to a cgi (perl,php) placed on a separate web server. We wrap the backend of the form within an html template that looks like our sitestudio templates so that it appears to the end user that they are still on our website.
    Obviously, this is not ideal. I have been reading documentation on how to use the content server to host JSP files. The jsp files run flawlessly if they are accessed via the weblayout folder directly. I have not yet found a solution that will allow me to wrap my jsp forms within our existing sitestudio templates.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem, or come up with an alternate solution to this problem?

    Thanks, I appreciate your taking time to find the precise answer. Just today this bit me again.
    I have a need to modify the ComboBox template to italicize placeholder text.  That's a easy thing to do; however, now that I've created a new template I have to name it and add a Style={StaticResource MyNewStyle} to ALL the comboboxes in my app. 
    If I leave my new template unnamed - to override the default - none of the theme resource changes that I already have in place are picked up by the existing ComboBoxes, and they revert to their default look.
    There's clearly something wrong in the way I'm doing it or the way it's implemented.

  • Embedding DMS Documents within CG42 Report Template

    Hi All,
    We are using EH&S and DMS and would like to combine these two into a CG42 report template.  Through CG02, we have created specifications where we would like to have some value assignments instances take advantage of the user-defined text tab to pull in documents from DMS.  We have configured the system to successfully link in the DMS document info record into the user-defined tab within the value assignment area of CG02 and can view the DMS documents by double clicking on that reference.
    In taking this to the next step, we would like to embed this document into our report template definition.  Mind you that some of these documents are .pdf containing text and graphics.  Within CG42, we go to the specification symbol that we want and open the area called ADDITIONAL INFO, which then opens to other symbols, one of which is "ESTDF Additional Information - User-Defined Text".   When we open that node, it provides us with many attributes as options that we can embed within the report template.  The only one that relates to content is "GESTDHEADE HEADER Start of UD Text ".  It appears that all this does is just repeat the link that was specified in CG0 when we use the command to include that in the report template and then do a preview on the report.
    In reading some SAP Help Documentation in the section for user-defined text, I'm led to believe that you can embed these into the report template but I have not been able to do so thus far.  The only thing I can do is embed information about the user-defined text into the report template.
    Can someone shed some light if this is feasible?
    By the way, we are already embedding graphic logos by relating it to a phrase and keeping these images in a folder on a file server.  If we must, we can use that approach but I'd really lile to keep these documents in DMS as a controlled document.
    Thanks!

  • Naming clips within a sequence

    Help, I'm stuck! I've created a sequence from a subclip and would like to assign a different name to each clip within the sequence. Changing one clip affect all the others. I have tried all the options described in the editing workshop book by Tom Wolsky but have not been able to do it.
    What am I doing wrong?
    thanks

    Thank you for your reply. This is what I was doing
    1. Made the sequence
    2. Clicked on the Sequence 1 icon on the browser and selected Make Sequence Clips Independent
    3. Moved the sequence clips from the time line to the browser
    4. Changed the name in one clip and they all changed including the master
    After reading your reply,
    1. Made the sequence
    2. Highlighted the sequence in the time line
    3. Selected make clips independent from the Sequence pull-down menu
    4. Moved the sequence to the browser and was able to re-name them independently.
    Obviously I misinterpreted the explanation in the book.
    Thank you for taking the time to respond.

  • Frame reference within a clip within a clip

    this seems to be an almost universally puzzling question as I've not gotten any responses from any of the forums that I've posted on...
    Is it possible for me to have 1 movieclip consisting of multiple movie clips, in a .fla file, and reference specific frames of clips within a frame of the movie clip, from an outside .as file?
    In a .fla file I have a movie clip that consists of several frames, each containing a different movie clip to perform different actions of a character I am attempting to animate.  The basics of the code work fine, but now I'm trying to get into more detailed aspects of the characters actions and interactions and all the tutorials that I've come across thus far direct me to add various aspects of code throughout my animation which I feel would litter my program as this project grows.  My basic code is as follows
    class hero extends MovieClip
        variable definitions up here
        function onLoad()
            variable initializations here
        function onEnterFrame()
            if( Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) )
                _xscale = 200;
                if( Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT) )
                    gotoAndStop("run");
                    _x = _x + run_speed;
                } else {
                    gotoAndStop("walk");
                    _x = _x + walk_speed;
    // more of that for the other carnal directions of the character's movement...
            } else if ( !Key.isDown() ){
                gotoAndStop("stand");
    This works fine.  Beyond this, I have a frame with the anchor lable "Punch" which contains a movie clip consisting of 5 frames.  Is it possible for me to reference specific frames within the movie clip within this frame of the big movie clip?

    you reference nested clips using dot notation BUT the parent clip must be on a frame where the child exists.  for example, if the _currentframe of parentMC contains childMC,   you could reference the frame number of childMC that's a child of parentMC using:
    trace(parentMC.childMC._currentframe);
    if childMC only exists on frame 2 of parentMC and parentMC is on its first frame, then you would need:
    parentMC.gotoAndStop(2);
    trace(parentMC.childMC._currentframe);

  • Can one cut and paste an audio clip within a movie to use in another place?

    can one copy and paste an audio clip within a movie to use in another place?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    If you are wanting to use the audio from clip A into clip B then try......
    First check that Advanced tools are enabled: iMovie>Preferences>General>Show Advanced Tools.
    Drag clip A from the Event UPON clip B in the Project. When you release the mouse you will get a pop up menue.
    Select Audio Only. Note the other options for another day!!!!
    You will get a green bar as Karsten mentions above ( move it , shorten it etc, etc.)
    Show Audio Waveform by selecting Blue Waveform Box ,bottom right of Project Window.
    You can adjust audio level from clip A and clip B to your requirements.You can set either to zero volume if you require.
    This may not be what you meant by "to use in another place "
    If you want just the audio to use outside of iMovie, try;
    With the required clip/clips only in the project> Share> Export Using Quicktime and in Export Select "Sound To AIFF. Save to desktop in the first instance so you can easily find it.

  • Manipulating Multiple Audio Clips Within One Track

    Hello I need help with 2 issues!
    Problem 1: I recorded in Audacity converted it and brought them into Soundbooth CS5.  It turns out to be 208 clips that I now have on one track. When I edit/shorten one track (lets say clip 8) I have to individually select all other tracks to move them forward because there's space between clip 8 and 9 thru 200.  How do I select track 9 thru 200 (highlight them all) without having to individually select all clips within the track?
    Your help will grately shorten my editing time.
    Problem 2: I have several clips that have 2 audio tracks by mistake. How do I split up the audio and keep the portion I want?
    Thanks in advance.

    Select "Share" in the File menu, then QT export, expert setting, save as AIFF. (Optionally export just the selected clips)

  • Duplicating clip within frame

    I'm not sure what you call this, but I've done it in the past and can't for the life of me remember how the heck I did it.
    I want to take one clip - 10 seconds in length and place it 4x across and 4x down so it looks like you're watching 16 clips - but all of the same thing at the same time. There's a name for this effect but I can't remember what it's called. I illustrated it below with smiley faces. Assume each smiley face is the same clip, 25% of it's size, duplicated 4 across and 4 down. Premier Pro CS4, windows 7 64 bit.
    Can anyone tell me how I did this?

    As Ann states, it's PiP (Picture in Picture), and is done with 16 Clips, each with a different adjustment of the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and probably the same Fixed Effect>Motion>Scale.
    When doing a matrix, such as you describe, I find it useful to create an "alignment grid," to help me Scale and locate the Clips. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail on alignment grids.
    Another term, besides PiP, that might be applied in this case would be "photo wall," should you do a Search for tutorials, etc.
    Good luck,

  • Scale clips using the timeline- doesn't seem to work well?

    I had been scaling my clips (200%) using the effect control panel, and decided it would be a couple less clicks to simply change the property to "Motion:Scale" in the timeline and drag the bar on the clip up to scale it- but it's strange, because if I drag it all the way up (600 units is the highest) the clip is scaled by 150%. What's the thought behind this? I mean, how can I use this feature to scale the clip in an intuitive way? Ideally, wouldn't dragging the bar to 200 scale the image by 200%? Is this simply not what that feature is for? What WOULD someone use this feature for if not this?

    Yeah, me too! I also find that using multiple interface elements to complete one repetitive task is silly. If I am already using the timeline to place clips, why not also use it to scale them by a precise amount? The feature appears to be there. I am wondering about how or if it was intended to be used. Any insight from those who use the Motion:Scale feature in the timeline?

  • Playing a Movie Clip within a Movie Clip on load

    Hi,
    I'm trying to play a Movie Clip animation that is within a Movie Clip after a button has been pressed in a different Movie Clip.
    The issue is that all Movie Clip animations are playing as soon as the SWF is loaded.
    I have a separate Main.as file that contains all of the coding except for the animation stops:
    package
              import flash.display.MovieClip;
              import flash.events.MouseEvent;
              public class Main extends MovieClip
              var title1:Title1;
              var scene1:Scene1;
              var scene2:Scene2;
              var scene3:Scene3;
              var scene4:Scene4;
              var scene5:Scene5;
              var scene6:Scene6;
              var scene7:Scene7;
              var scene8:Scene8;
              var scene9:Scene9;
              var scene10:Scene10;
              public function Main()
                        title1 = new Title1();
                        scene1 = new Scene1();
                        scene2 = new Scene2();
                        scene3 = new Scene3();
                        scene4 = new Scene4();
                        scene5 = new Scene5();
                        scene6 = new Scene6();
                        scene7 = new Scene7();
                        scene8 = new Scene8();
                        scene9 = new Scene9();
                        scene10 = new Scene10();
                        addChild(title1);
                        title1.buttonStart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onButtonStartClick);
                        scene1.buttonWalkOutside.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onButtonWalkOutsideC lick);
              //title
              function onButtonStartClick(event:MouseEvent):void
                        addChild(scene1);
                        removeChild(title1);
                        Scene1(parent).gotoAndPlay("frame1")
              //scene1
              function onButtonWalkOutsideClick(event:MouseEvent):void
                        addChild(scene2);
                        removeChild(scene1);
    So right now, I'm getting this error:
    TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@46534041 to Scene1.
              at Main/onButtonStartClick()
    Any help is greatly appreciated... I've been grinding at this all night.

    I had been trying a bunch of different methods after searching for clues on Google, so it probably doesn't make sense with the parent.
    I replaced the code with what you wrote, and I am given this error now:
    Main.as, Line 44
    1120: Access of undefined property scene1Text1.
    Is there somewhere I have to declare scene1Text1 in Main.as?

  • TellTarget to play a movie clip within a movie clip

    I currently have two movie clips in my scene with a button
    that lies inside one of the movie clips. We will call this movie
    clip for the sake of this post "ph." The button inside of ph has a
    rollOver/rollOut movie clip called "Buick_rollOut" attached to it
    as a parked movie clip through tellTarget. Currently Buick_rollOut
    only works if I put the parked movie clip on the same level as ph.
    I want Buick_rollOut to be within the movie clip, ph, that contains
    the button. I want that button be able to tellTarget the location
    of Buick_rollOut within ph. I hope this makes sense. Here is my
    code for the button that lies within ph. (this code only works when
    Buick_rollOut is located outside of ph on the same level).

    Is this code running on the button? What's the name of the
    button?
    Things would be a little clearer if you replaced tellTarget
    with dot notation:
    Buick_rollOut.gotoAndPlay("rollOver");

    *You also can do this with QuickTime-pro.* But You need the disipline of an angle.
    Quoting:
    Klaus1 writes: As Bengt says, you can do this with Quicktime Pro. Here is how:
    Organize the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
    Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
    In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
    You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
    Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
    Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
    You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
    If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in the relevant numbers in the two boxes, in Video Track 1.
    PAL (for Europe):
    Standard DV (4:3) 788 x 576
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
    NTSC (for the USA):
    Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
    This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanted in 16:9 repeat for that track.
    You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
    Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
    Have fun!

  • Bizarre substituion of clips within a sequence

    I've been working on a documentary, and I've got multiple sequences in the project file which themselves use over twenty "raw tape" files. This afternoon I discovered that two of the raw tape files in the browser have been replaced with another raw tape file from the project (but just within FCE. If I use the finder to click on the file it's okay). To be clear, I have interviews with subjects A, B, and C, and these are stored as raw tape. I've used clips from all three in various sequences I've been building. Now, however, where in a sequence I'd used pieces of A or B, the sequence now shows footage from C. Likewise, if I click on raw tape A or B, I'm actually shown tape from C. It's totally bizarre and somewhat frightening, as I have no idea what's caused this to happen or how to guard against it with the other sequences (much less go back and put the sequences together with the correct clips).

    Thanks. I spent some time with a friend on Skype tonight and he suggested setting the camera to 720p30 and then chosing HD and 720p30 from easy setup.
    The substitution problem was solved by reconnecting the media. Not sure how it got corrupted.
