Pasting Attributes with Title 3D? - A follow up inquiry

Hello All,
The other day I asked whether it is possible to copy and paste attributes from a text 3D title to another. The answer/solution offered was to take a "master" format, and then change the specific names and titles in each clip.
I keep thinking about this solution, and it surprises me. In the same way that one can take an Excel spreadsheet and copy the format from one to another, I would think that it would be advantageous (as well as popular) to have such control with titles in FCP.
I'm not a programmer, so I don't know if this is asking the world. Is it just a feature that hasn't been developed, or is it a complicated function, or do folks simply determine up front what the titles will look like, and if they change their mind, go back and retype all of the information?
Just curious.
Thanks.
DG

Title 3D does let you create and save "styles" that you can reuse whenever you choose to do so.

New paste attributes problem

When copying and pasting attributes from one clip to another the Attributes window does not appear if a clip has an Audio Enhancement applied. Temporarlily disabling the audio enhancement allows the paste attributes feature to behave as normal. Anyone else having this issue? I've reset preferences and all of that.
Shouldn't I be able to paste the audio attributes as well?
Bug?

I am not seeing that. I tried paste attributes with clips that had audio enhancements and it worked as expected.
Try deleting FCP X preferences with Preference Manager.

Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

In iTunes, is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
Finale 2007: $500
Sibelius 4: $500
Jam Packs: $400
Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
PowerBook: $1700
Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
Logic Pro 7: Oy!
As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

Trying to Paste Attributes - AUDIO ONLY. I copy the clip I want - then click Paste Attributes - previously a box appeared with options - now nothing appears. Only happening with AUDIO attributes. Anyone else experiencing this?

I am trying to Paste Attributes of AUDIO ONLY - from one clip to another audio clip. These are the settings for the VOICE OVER on my 15 minute project. This has worked before. However now I copy the clip I want o use the attributes from - then I selct PASTE ATTRIBUTES. In the past a new dialogue box would appear and offer me the opportunity to select the attributes or effects I wanted to COPY and PASTE. Hoever now - there is NOTHING.
I also want to REMOVE the ATTRIBUTES from 287 clips - but apparently I can only do this one at a time? That seems like the most ridiculous thing in the world. Certainly this can't be true? Is there no way to remove ALL Attrributes from all of the clips at the same time?
Anyone? Anyone?

I cannot reproduce this. It is working as expected here: select a clip, copy, select another clip (or clips), paste attributes, and I get the usual window - this works for audio only clips as well as other clips.
I suggest you try deleting FCP X preferences with Preference Manager and try again.

Select the clips you want, and delete the effects in the Inspector by selecting and hitting the delete key.

Can you paste ALL video attributes with one click?

When copying motion attributes from one clip to another,
is there a way of selecting all the video attributes in one shot to paste
to the next clip, instead of having to check each individual box in
the paste attributes dialogue?

Darn, but thanks.

Paste Attributes Not Working

Hello,
I am color grading a film in 10.0.9 and all of a sudden the paste attributes has stopped working.
When I click paste attributes, it looks like it renders the file. The paste attribute box does not come up.
I have tried trashing preferences, deleting rendered files, re-installing fcpx, copying all the project files to a new project. ..nothing is solving this.
It's driving me crazy! Any help much appreciated!

Not by downloading. If you saved a BU version – having either followed the steps in this document or the restore feature of either Time Machine or some other BU utility – you could, of course, roll back to an earlier version. The problem is any projects you have updated in the interim would not open.
I've just reviewed your thread from the beginning. Two questions:1) have you tried deleting project render files and turning off BG Rendering? 2) Does this occur with any project; have you tried a new project with completely different media as a test of pasting attributes?

After upgrade to FCPX 10.1, paste attributes no longer works. Has any one had a similar experience or have an answer?

After upgrade to FCPX 10.1, paste attributes no longer works. Has anyone had this issue or have an answer to it?

Are you sure it does not work at all? Could be a problem with a particular project, or clip.
Create a completely new project, add some clips to it, Cmd-C in one clip, and try Paste Atributes into another. Does it not work?
Also, by "does not work" do you mean it is greyed out, or the window appears but nothing happens when you click "Paste"?

How to write or paste words with cyrillic font

Hi all,
I am having a difficulty in write and paste words with cyrillic (russian) font. currently, I am using acrobat 7 standard and windows 7 professional 64 bit. anyone can help me out?
thanks.

No matter which language, you basically have to find out which encoding your files are in and specify that when reading them using a InputStreamReader.
I can't tell you what encodings there are specialized in arabic characters, but there are a few general-purpose encodings that you might try: UTF-8 and UTF-16 are possible candidates, as they can represent every Unicode character.
Also note, that you really need to know the encoding and you can't reliably "guess" the encoding of any random input file.
Read http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html
It's titled "The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)", which describes it quite well.

Unfortunately, default FM9 DITA does not support the automatic creation of the special bookmap files (toc, index, etc.). The only way to do it in FM9 is to manually add those generated lists to the book after you've generated it.
DITA-FMx 1.1 provides the ability to automatically create FM generated lists as well as apply numbering and pagination (and many other properties) automatically when you generate a book from a bookmap. For more info and to download a trial ..

Can You Copy and Paste Attributes in FCPX?

I'm just getting started with my FCPX training, (after years of edidting in FCP). I frequntly use the "copy and paste attributes" feature in FCP, (say you make some adjustments to a clip, you can copy these attributes and paste them on to another clip). VERY SLICK and USFULL. Does anybody know how this is done in FCPX? Thanks

Similar though you don't have the same level of control as you'll notice. Copy the clip you want to use as the source and then Paste Effects- both from the Edit menu. This will copy over everything so plan things out if you want to use this feature.

Smart Collection bug with Title doesn't contain rule

Hi,
There are various articles on smart collections that check if the "Title" field is filled or not. Because the "Title" field doesn't have an "is empty" like function, the sugested solution is to use the rule:
Title   doesn't contain   a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z
But there is a bug in this rule. I found that the letter 't' is causing a problem. The letter 't' seems to include all characters.
Situation:
Four images that have a their Title field as follows:
Image 1:
Image 2: 2014-01 - Street Photography.dng
Image 3: 2014-01
Image 4: Some Image
(Image 1 has an empty title)
Four smart collections with the following rules:
Collection 1: Title   doesn't contain   a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z
Collection 2: Title   doesn't contain   0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Collection 3: Title   doesn't contain   a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,u,v,w,x,y,z
Collection 4: Title   doesn't contain   t
My expected result of the smart collections is:
Collection 1: Image 1 and Image 3
Collection 2: Image 1 and Image 4
Collection 3: Image 1 and Image 3
Collection 4: Image 1, Image 3 and Image 4
The actual result of the smart collections is:
Collection 1: Image 1
Collection 2: Image 1 and Image 4
Collection 3: Image 1 and Image 3
Collection 4: Image 1
I'm using Lightroom 5.7 on a MacBook Pro 17" (mid 2010), i7 @ 2.66GHz, 8GB RAM and 2 x 240GB SSD's running on OS X 10.10.1
My questions are:
Can anyone, specially from the Adobe Lightroom team, confirm this?
How to solve this issue?
With kind regards,
Dennis

That is a bizarre bug. There is an even simpler way to reproduce the problem: Have two pics, one with title "a" and the other with title "t". The criterion "Title Contains a" correctly shows just the first picture, but the criterion "Title Contains t" shows both.
Searching with smart collections and filters has numerous bugs, but this one is by far the most surprising. As a geek programmer, I'd love to know what causes this!
Adobe rarely reads this forum -- I suggest you post this in the official Adobe feedback forum, which Adobe does faithfully read (but only infrequently responds).

cast(multiset(
select sal from emp where rownum < 2)
as foolist) list1,
cast(multiset(

When I request a "SELECT * FROM FOOVIEW"

So this appears fixed in the next code drop.
In the interim, I'll email you the new JAR file until (since it won't be on OTN for a few more days).

Entity object attribute with a list of objects

Does anyone know how one sets up an entity object that has an attribute with a list of objects as the type? (assuming that's supported)
as in:
CREATE TYPE phones AS VARRAY(10) OF varchar2(10);
Create table suppliers (supcode number(5),
Company varchar2(20),
ph phones);
The SOA Suite in jDeveloper (new Entity Object/attributes etc) has an ARRAY that can point to REF or OBJECT. Neither work. When I try to Create DB Object later from the Entity Object I've created I get an invalid type.

What you suggested about "validation codes on the VO" is not written on the ADF Documentation.
I try to blindly/strictly follow best practices (particularly on Validations, using Declartive and/or built in validators) on most ADF documentation and blogs but there are many scenarios on coding some large ADF projects that I think must veer away from the best practices stated on the documentation or maybe add new rules on the documentation depending on how complex an ADF project would be.
I religiously followed best practices stated on the documentation to use Entity and Attribute Validators when performing validations. What I did was i had created lots of Custom Validators (by implementing JboVAlidatorInterface interface) for each of the attributes on an Entity Object that need validated. So those validator is valid only for one attribute, its not reusable. And those validation codes either have reference to a ViewObject or call some PL/SQL procedure. So at some point are codes became messy.
Ultimately the whole project became harder to manage when the codes became large. Now I am trying to refactor the whole application by separating it into project/package and I am hoping to do it with little Re-coding as possible.
Hope to get your opinion on this one.
regards,
Anton

Copy Paste Attributes

First off - I will admit I am a FCP editor who is figuring out Motion in fits and starts. Basically what I am building is a bullet point graphic of 5 list items where it starts with all 5 visible, fully opaque, and after a couple seconds, 4 lines dim to 10 percent opacity and the 5th line grows larger and moves to the center. I built the first version of this, keyframing all the opacity and move/grows. I then save the project and rename it "2nd line move." What I want to do is be able to copy the attributes from the one line that grows and moves ("1st line move") to the new, renamed project. In FCP I use copy/paste attributes for situations like this. I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Motion, without pretty much creating new keyframes on each version of the same graphic.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve

hi,
a simple way is to click on the object you have animated, and then simply to click and hold on the position parameter name in the inspector and drag it to the object you want to copy the animation too.
You can do this for the scale parameter as well.
