Play trigger

I have just got 6 imacs brand new, I have final cut pro on and the full cs4 suite. The problem is the space bar play trigger and the j and l keys you use to play in the software wont play it, it only plays a split second, this happend in cs4, fcp even imovie, so it must be a setting on the mac somewhere.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try posting in the Final Cut Pro Forums
When you have Final Cut Pro open, from the Menu Bar, click Final Cut Pro / Preferences. There might be a space bar setting you can change there.
As for CS4, try the Adobe forums for help.

Chrome playing all symbols at once despite "stop" triggers?

Hi Everyone, I'm working on an animation (Edge Animate CC 2014) where several sets of events are grouped in symbols--each has a "stop" trigger at 0:00 and then a "play" trigger at the appropriate time. This works fine in Firefox & Safari, but Chrome plays ALL symbols simultaneously from the beginning (resulting in a complete mess). Has anyone else had this problem, and are there any solutions short of getting rid of the symbols and pasting their content to the main timeline (resulting in a HUGE and unmanageable action list)?
Here's the animation: Untitled
Thanks!

If you move the Timeline trigger stop just a little rightward, it works. See capture.

Changing MIDI Port Order is wreaking havoc on my Environment

Anyone seen this before?
I've got a MOTU Midi Express with 4 ins and outs - it's my main interface.
I've also got a Novation Remote25SL which works as a control surface/controller with 3 out ports. It requires some special Environment cabling to work properly with Logic.
Everything was working fine until lately all my projects stopped responding to MIDI from my master keyboard...
I eventually discovered it was because Logic had some how changed the order of MIDI ports. It used to be "Midi Express 1.... 4" followed by "Remote25SL 1...3".
Now if I look at the "outputs & Ports" page in the Environment, it's reversed. "Remote25SL 1...3" followed by "Midi Express 1....4".
So what? Well, the dumb cables in the environment don't move when the ports do. So the cables that used to be connected to the Remote25SL are now connected to the Motu Midi Express, which wreaks havoc on my project.
Any ideas a) what causes this, and b) how to re-order the ports so it goes back the way it was before?
I've tried messing around in the AudioMidi setup tool but don't see any thing here that will help.
It points up, I think, a flaw in Logic's "logic". Environment cables should be tied to physical/logical ports, not just handed out on a 'first come, first serve' to whoever shows up on the midi bus first. The system apparently can "see" the difference between the Motu and the Novation. So why can't Logic?
Grrr. Time to start reading the Nuendo brochures again.

I HAVE A SOLUTION
and it works fine for me after a series of trial and error experiments.
Quit Logic (for now) and do the following.
1) Download the app MidiPipe from this site:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/midipipe.html
2) Plug in all of your MIDI controllers (I mean, all of them)
3) Start making one 'pipe' at a time. Think of them as 'rules' for MIDI flow.
I wish I could post screen shots here... I can show you that I have 6 'pipes' happening.
Why: I have these controllers (according to Logic) happening:
Korg nanoKEYS, nanoPAD, nanoKONTROL; Alesis Photon X25; midiman (now M-Audio) midisport 2x2; Tascam US-144 (the MIDI portion)
4) In these pipes, ONE AT A TIME, these pipes are very simple:
-drag a •Midi In for each controller,
-click the 'hijack' button.
-drag a •Midi Out next,
-create a new virtual Midi Out Port and name it. In my case I went numerically (e.g. 1 nanoPAD, 2 nanoKEYS...) just so I can see the port name is different than the input. Do what works for you here
5) Create a new pipe, redo step 4 until you've created a new pipe for every controller you have.
Save this Midipipe file, and open it prior to any Logic session, before you open Logic.
6) Open Logic. In the global preferences, go to Controller Assignments (Command-K)
and you'll have to define any custom controller data (this may not be necessary for you). But I had to change the controller listening port for all nanoKONTROL assignments. You may not have to do anything here at all.
7) In the case of the folks trying to use two (or more) controllers, as in three keyboards at a time you still have to change one setting: and unfortunately this is not global for Logic, you'll have to change it every single project:
-Under File>Project Settings>Recording, you need to check the box that says
"Auto Demix by channel if multitrack recording"
-For each virtual instrument, you need to set the Midi Channel it responds to. Generally on the left above your channel strip, named Inst 1 (2, 3, 4, ...) depending on which track you're on, click the drop-triangle and you'll see: MIDI Channel: ALL --- change it to whatever you assigned your controller to
-After you've assigned those MIDI Channe;s per track; now arm each track you wish to record onto (or play, trigger, etc) ---arm meaning 'click the R so it's red'
You should be good to go!
To boil it down to simply: download MidiPipe, figure it out, define controller data if necessary, check Demix by Channel in Project Settings, Set each track's Midi Channel, Arm each track, record two (or more) parts at once.
You'll spend 30 minutes or more figuring out MidiPipe for your setup (less if you're brilliant); anywheres up to an hour or more in Controller Assignments but you may not need to do anything here); and less than a minute for the rest. Do the heavy work once (and tweak it) -- after that, the checkboxes/Midi Channel assignments/track arming is like, 10 clicks every project.
Good luck!
Works great for me with this setup:
all the controllers listed above, Logic 8.0.2, iMac 2.4Ghz, OSX 10.5.6

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles

Edge 2014.1 Replay issues

The new version of Edge Animate 2014.1 does not properly reset all elements when replaying for my existing projects which I just upgraded for this version. I find that I have to do 2 things to resolve the issue which were not necessary before:
- add keyframes to the '0' position for all affected elements
- turn off all auto play symbols and manually add a 'play' trigger sometime after the '0' position
Hoping for an update to fix these issues

Hi,
We are really sorry about that you are still getting the same issue.
Can you please confirm the version number by going Help > About. The version should be listed as 2014.1.1.
If this is correct, then please share the composition with us. We will try at our end.
Regards,
Devendra

Audio not working on one slide when publishing to HTML5

I'm in Captivate 8. In one slide in my project no slide audio will play when published to html5. I've tested in Chrome and IE 11. In Chrome, I see the 'speaker' icon that appears when audio or video is running but no sound comes up. (The speaker appears for the length of the audio file ~5 sec) All other slides are fine, and the slide audio plays correctly if I use F3 or F10 to preview the slide inside Captivate.
The slide in question is a 'menu' only reached via an advanced action. I know the advanced action is not the culprit - if I change it to jump to a different slide, the audio on that slide plays without problem.
Similarly, I've verified that if I place this audio file on a different slide, it plays fine, but if I add a different audio file to this slide the problem remains. If I create a button on the problem slide to trigger the audio it plays, (but is unhelpful since I want the audio to play automatically when the user enters the slide).
I've tried removing/re-adding the audio, recreating the slide from a copy, setting the audio to play via an "on enter" advanced action, and adding a play trigger to the advanced action that jumps to this slide. Nothing I've tried gets the audio to play.
I'd welcome any suggestions of what might be happening or how to fix this.
Thank you,
Jenny Nilsson

Hi Lieve,
Thank you, yes, if I view using f12 the audio works correctly.
The "exitBranch" action is associated with a continue button at the end of each branch. If all branches have been visited, it jumps to a new slide, if there are unvisited branches, it jumps back to the menu slide where the audio is not working. (If I edit the action to jump somewhere else the audio will work for the different slide.)
The action was created from a shared action and my colleague and I have used it in multiple other modules without this error.
Thanks,
Jenny N

Loop driving me loopy

New at EA and I've watched several tutorials on this subject:
I have an animation set to auto play with several nested symbols all the exact same length in time. I've tried setting a "play" action at the end of the timeline but nothing happens. I've also tried setting the "play" trigger on the symbols themselves but nothing happens. I'm going crazy.

You need a sym.play(0) trigger at the end of each of the five slideshow timelines, if indeed you want them to loop simultaneously inside your main symbol.
Decomposing into symbols is not a question of efficiency, but of structuring your project. Everything in the Stage (in Edge Animate, the stage is itself a symbol, so your main symbol is useless) would lead to a huge stack of elements in the single timeline : much more difficult to read and maintain.

Possible AMT8 midi driver bug.....

Possible AMT8 midi driver bug.....
Hi All,
I have a slave computer hooked up to my AMT8 ports 6 and 7
When I launch my project from Logic 7 it plays / triggers.....When I launch same project in Logic 8 it doesn't play / trigger...
OF NOTE: I also have 2 other slave computers that are hooked up to AMT8 ports 4 and 8.....those trigger just fine...
thoughts?

Could some kind soul please confirm that Logic8 does not send midi to ports 6 and 7 .....
Hi Steven,
My setup is identical to iS's. Unitor8 with AMT8 daisychained.
I have port 6 I/O of the U8 going to a CM Motormix. Working great.
I have port 14 I/O (port 6 of the AMT8) going to my old G3 Soundiver-Kurzweil K2500 rig. Also working great.
Ports 7 and 15 at the moment aren't connected to anything, but I can test them later if you like. The LEDs for those ports are lighting when I send MIDI to them from L8 though.
Note that when I installed Logic 8, there's an option to install the Unitor8 family drivers. I checked that. (Just in case). Try running the installer again with everything unchecked except that. Maybe there's a new version?
Sorry I can't confirm your bug!

BEYOND FRUSTRATION

Can anyone help me?
We're all aware that Logic "drops audio" from time to time, and that usually you can solve it by closing the song, or the program and re-launching the song or program. Usually it will drop 1 to 2 channels of audio or audio instruments.
Yesterday Logic dropped ALL my midi and audio tracks on a song I'd been working on for a week! The midi is there, the audio is there, regions are there, the instruments are loaded, but when I hit play, nothing is heard! All the audio in the song just checked out...
I closed the song and reopened, I closed the program, and relaunched, I repaired permissions and re-started. Still no sound from my session.
There are no solos on and the outputs are the same as they've been for 9 months. I can even select one of the instruments in the session and use my midi keboard to play/trigger the sounds I've loaded. When I do this, I can see and hear the levels on the selected channel and the master outputs. Only when I try to play the song are there no sounds heard. I can even go into the midi editor and see the midi, select block and hear it's sound.
What's the deal? Does Logic drop a whole song even though I can see the whole thing in my session and still trigger sounds as long as I don't hit play? Every other song I have plays fine and they've all be set up using this template.
I now have to comp my session to the client!!!
What's the solution?
Noah

it has to be said, though you might not want to hear it, but it really really sounds like a corrupt session. copy all your info into another session, turn off the audio driver for speed. copy it into a factory autoload to be sure that you don't run into the same corruption. i'll bet it'll work fine after that.
you might consider looking for mark isham's last topic here where he got some people from apple to look into issues he was having. they stress that it seems to be a very good idea to rebuild autoloads from time to time especially if they were created in previous versions. its a pain, but it can prevent issues further down the line. well, knowing this as i do, i still don't really take that advice, but at least i know where the problem stems from when i encounter it, which is rare enough for it not to make me disciplined about it.

Prevent timeline to play again if trigger is clicked a second time

Hi. how do I prevent the timeline of a symbol from restarting when the trigger button is clicked a second time and the timeline has already run. I have a line that grows when I click the button and I want it to stay like. When I click the button again the line jumps to its original size.
thank you

add a variable on the timeline of the symbol.
var a=0;
then in your click event in compositionReady use:
sym.$('buttonName').bind('click',funciton(){
if(A==0){
     sym.getSymbol('name').play();
A=1;
}else{
     sym.getSymbol('name').stop();
or you could unbind your click event
sym.$('buttonName').bind('click',funciton(){
     sym.$('buttonName').unbind('click');
     sym.getSymbol('name').play();

How to get Edge to ignore a trigger after the first time it has played

Hello all,
I have a symbol that is activated by clicking on a button. The symbol has two triggers at different points on its timeline. Each trigger activates a separate symbol. I want both triggers to work the first time through, but on the second and all subsequent times, I want the first trigger to be ignored. There is probably a little bit of code that will do this very easily (maybe an if else statement?), but I'm afraid I am not very good at that. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers, and all the best!

So here is a solution using a global variable: test1 revised.zip - Box
compositionReady:
sym.setVariable("firstRound", true);
yellow trigger:
if (sym.getComposition().getStage().getVariable("firstRound")) { // if firstRound is true i play, else nothing
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("yellow2").play();
sym.getComposition().getStage().setVariable("firstRound", false);

Trigger audio to play

I am working on a language project. I will try to use iBooks author to do it. In author you cannot just insert an audio file and click to play it. I I import a video file with just audio I cannot resize it. Therefore I thought keynote would be my best bet. My question is: Can I trigger audio to play if a person clicks on some text. The only way I have found to do this is have it open a keynote file and have it play. It would play a looped recording of a phrase.

In my experiments so far, a Keynote inside iBooks Author works the same in that if you tap anywhere on the iPad, the presentation will advance. In other words, it's not smart enough to know which image/text is being touched, only that the user touched somewhere on the iPad screen. So, if your Keynote can play audio on a "click" it should work the same way in iBooks Author. But you can't have 2 images that play different sounds when the user touches them in varying order, AFAIK. Hope that helps!

N96 doesnt play camera trigger sound

My N96 recently stopped playing any of the 4 preinstalled camera trigger sounds...
No matter which of the 4 I choose and no matter which profile is currently active, the camera wont play any "click" sound.
Sometimes, this is absolutely ok, but sometimes its also annoying... is there a way to fix this, without resetting the phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

We can now blame you for all those illicit pictures taken on Nokia phones for the next month.
"Warning tones" would not be the logical category for the camera shutter sound but it may just be a bad translation from Finnish.

How to trigger based play a text, video and animated symbol

Hello
I have an animated text followed by a video followed by animated symbol. I have a next button with the following commands
sym.getSymbol("slide").play();
sym.play();
The problem:
I can go next from the text to the video but have to wait till the video finishes playing then the symbol comes in automatically. if i click next while the video is playing. The animation progresses in the symbol and it misses the starting animation.
What i want is while the video is playing and i click next the video stops and the slide starts to play.
Project file here: https://www.mediafire.com/?0zv067hgt6g0l7x
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Hi
I was facing another issue.
As you can see in the test project. There is a video. It has a simple opacity at the end. When i enable controls for the video and pause and play in the browser to see specific parts. but what happens is that the video fades out when the playhead reaches that point and other slides fade in.
What i want to do is when the pause button is pressed in the video, the playhead stops and only when the video has ended or the next button clicked, the next slide appears.
Can you please tell me how to achieve this ?
Thanks

How can I play an animation in reverse only if the symbol that contains the animation is visible? if the symbol is not visible have the trigger no longer target that symbol?

Hi
I have a button the does two functions at the same time. it plays a symbol's animation in reverse (in order to hide it) and it slides an element. the symbols animation is triggered by another button (which is not relevant) . So my problem is that if the animation has been triggered first than when the button is pushed the animation plays in reverse, the symbol hides and everything is fine, but if a push the button before that the animation will flash in reverse. SO how can I tell it to only play in reverse when the symbol's animation has run. I know it's an if / else statement but i have no idea how to do it.
thx

Here is a case close to your issue:
if ( sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").$("Text").is(":visible") ) { sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").playReverse(); }
else { sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").play(); }
