Playing a long comp into a shorter comp

I want to play a full 15sec composition that is in a 3sec composition duplicated multiple times.
In Comp1 : 15sec are BLOCK 3sec duplicated 5 times (fozen 2 times at 1st frame)
in every BLOCK 3sec is a STAR 15sec composition.
When I play Comp1, the STAR composition stops after 3 seconds (when the BLOCK stops too).
I want the STAR composition to play full 15second. Meaning STARs curentFrame must be = Comp1 currentFrame regardless of which BLOCK 3sec is playing.
I attached an example. (.aep CS6): www.razor3ds.com/ftp/test.aep
Here is the video: http://youtu.be/MWBJLf-nVJQ
Note that this is a simplified version of whan I am currently working on, so STAR 15sec must stay within BLOCK 3sec.
(BLOCK is a mobile phone and STAR is the phones screen)
I am sure the solution is easy. Just an expresion to STAR 15sec to play in paralel with Comp1 or something. But I can't find anything and don't really know what keywords to search to be honest.
Thanks

So I figured out a way around this by duplicating the BLOCK layers and editing parts of STAR in each of them.
Not the practical solution that I was expecting but didn't find a working expression (like this.time=comp("Comp1").time)

Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?

Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?
I went through all my old formats (VHS, hi8, miniDV, etc) and captured them. They end up as .mov files. Some of the longer 2hr ones are about 28GB.
If I am making a new project and I want to edit in short clips from several of these longer files, is there a way to save a short clip from an existing file without compressing it any further?
In other words, lets say I have 10 2hr files, but I know I only want 1 minute from each. Is there a way to select the good 1 minute from each .mov file that I want to use and a version of this 1 minute from each in the folder I am working on the project in, without compressing them??? I like to keep all of the content I am working with on a project in its own folder in case the project needs to be moved from one hard drive to the next while I am working on it. I would hate to have to make a folder that is 280GB or more when I only need a minute from each larger file.
I hope I have asked this in a way that is understandable. Maybe there is a term for what I want to do, that I don't know yet that has its own help section too. Thanks for any assistance

Thanks Jon - That's kind of where I started, but the part of that I need help with on is the second to last step.
"Export using a codec that matches the source material. "
The codec they were captured in is .mov at DV quality, but then after picking .mov, there are so many other options to choose from as far as compression goes from sound quality and settings, to how many passes, etc. I just want the new clip to be of the same quality as the original clip. It looks so complicated and its not clear to me what options to pick to match the original.
Is there a setting or preference that helps you to match the compression settings of the original clip? Or is there a way to detect the settings of the original clip so I can repeat that in the shortened clip??

How do I split a long video into many short ones automatically

I want to split a 3.5 minute video into 210 small clips automatically. I certainly don't want to do that manually. is there a way to do this?

yunabesaid
The Scene Detect in the media area is gone by Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1. But, you can right click the video's thumbnail in Organize/Media, select Run AutoAnalyzer which claims to be "detecting scenes". The latter is worth a try to see what it will do with your 3.5 min clip and its scenes.
Regarding the quality of your videos in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 editing and export, we would need lots more information on that
a. properties of the source media (video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio).
b. what project preset you are setting for the project so that the project preset matches the properties of the source media
c. types of edits
d. choice of export and export settings, customized or default settings used
e. computer or TV DVD or Blu-ray player.
Please review, supply the requested information, and then we will plan troubleshooting strategy. Also, we would need some idea of your computer environment - Windows or Mac 32 or 64 bit version...
Lots ot put together.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

Truncate long variable into a short one

Hi,
I have a 40 character variable that needs to be truncated in a 20 character variable.
How do I do this?
Thanks,
John

data: var1(40) type c.
data: var2(20) type c.
if u want first 20 chars of var1 to be moved to var2..
then simply use... var2 = var1. " First 20 chars will be moved to var2 from var1
If u want last 20 chars then
var2 = var1+20(20).
if u want 20 chars of specific position like pos 10 to 30.. then
var2 = var1+10(20).
Reward if helpful

I downloaded a movie on itunes. When I go to play movie a message from iTunes "This movie cannot be played on this comp"

I downloaded a movie on itunes. When I go to play movie a message from iTunes "This movie cannot be played on this comp" Can anyone help?

Hi there,
You may want to varify that your system meets the minimum system requirements for viewing HD content. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I rented the movie Chronicle and it show it playing on my comp, but no audio or video, just the timer counting down, what should I do?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

How can long lines of code be cut / separated into multiple short

In Java, How can long lines of code be cut / separated into multiple short lines?
Example
System.out.printf( "%d\t%d\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t\t%s\n", arrayIndex , part[ arrayIndex ], name[arrayIndex], units[arrayIndex], price[arrayIndex], units[arrayIndex] * price[arrayIndex], total[ arrayIndex ] );Thanks

System.out.printf( "%d\t%d\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t\t%s\n",
arrayIndex ,
part[ arrayIndex ],
name[arrayIndex],
units[arrayIndex],
price[arrayIndex],
units[arrayIndex] * price[arrayIndex],
total[ arrayIndex ] );P.S. It looks to me like you have an array for each attribute of something. This is not OO and you should consider creating a class holding the information about each 'Part' or whatever it is. You will then just need a collection of Parts.

Need to split long movie into many clips to edit video

I upgraded to iMovie 11 from iMovie HD 6...it was a long wait to get audio and video editing that was at least as good as HD 6. We had some 40 year old Super 8 movies digitized and used HD 6 to split them into clips so I could edit parts that were almost black, or some almost totally blown out. I realized that this could probably be done better with 11, so purchased it, but couldn't import the HD 6 clips. Was told I had to export the whole movie as a single clip, then import into 11 and break them apart again to edit.
While I was proficient in HD 6 enough to produce some good stuff, iMovie 11 is befuddling to me, which is a surprise since I do fine with the latest iPhoto, which uses similar terms and processes. I have ordered David Pogue's book; while waiting for it to arrive, my main question is: how do I split this 75 minute movie into multiple clips for editing purposes? Apparently splitting can only be done in the project library, and apparently 11 will only let you split into 2 or 3 clips???
Thanks for any help.

First, you may not need to spit the event clips at all. You can select short bits of the long event clip and drag it into your project as you wish.
Having said that, there are good reasons to split event clips. For example, the 75 minute movie may contain many logical events that you wish to split out by date. In this case, iMovie 11 can do it, but I would not recommend it. It is a slow process and is prone to error.
I would recomment that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared Five (google it).
To use MPEG Streamclip, drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then, FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME (or FILE/EXPORT TO DV if it is DV). Then repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
When finished splitting your long clip, import into iMovie by using FILE/IMPORT...MOVIE

Split long video into small 15 second clips

Since downloading the new iTunes my column for the number of plays no longer work

Hi
Apart from the fact that I don't like the new set up I also find the the column which keeps count of the number of times a music track is played no longer responds. I tried to re-download my old version of iTunes but received a message saying the files for my music could not be found, so had to go back to the new version. Can anyone help.
PS. I'm quite dismayed at reading some of the comments especially about those who do finally get through on the phone, find that the people who are supposed to help have not received adequate training.

Try a force restart by holding the power and home button down at the same time. One of two things will PROBABLY happen; 1) It will boot into iOS as normal. 2) You will get an iTunes logo with a USB cable at the bottom. If the second happens you will need to plug it into iTunes to do a restore. If neither of these happen, force restart again. Once the phone powers off, let go of both buttons and push and hold the home button and plug the phone into iTunes. This will force the phone into recovery mode. Proceed with a restore at that point.

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.

"You are no longer logged into your profile" - So....Palm just decides to delete my data???

I was told to post this over in this Palm forum also so hopefully SOMEONE from Palm/HP will address this... I could not find a bug report area but perhaps someone can log this.
So after months of (mostly) happily using a Pre Plus, Wednesday I get the message that I am no longer logged into my profile, and do I want to reboot or erase my data??!! I googled, and yup, it's an issue....So I reboot...same options, this reboot, it starts and asks me if I want English as my language. Woops!!! No data!
Now of course palm profile does not backup anything on my phone really....I sync direct to Exhange and use Chapura sync to a desktop Outlook PST file. So I spend the next 5 hours restoring and syncing. Just crazy. Why can't it just say that you are not currently logged in, we will try again in an hour?? And what right does palm have to delete MY data that the profile does not even backup??? My exchange and chapura sync'ed data? Sure, I can re-sync with both of those. But my Chapura only if I am on the same wi-fi network as the local PC. So what does that mean if I am traveling? And re-syncing a huge volume of contacts takes forever. And you lose all the linked contacts also!
So I call the carrier and Palm. The carrier says...."well if your phone originally was under another phone number and you changed it as part of an upgrade, that can cause it." Huh? This can affect me months later I say??? My phone number upgrade change was done BEFORE I even turned on the phone. Palm does not even know about that first number!
So I called Palm. The guy says it can happen if 2 people use the same e-mail or credit card in their palm profile. Now since it won't even allow you to setup the same e-mail twice, I'd like to know how THAT would happen. No one on my plan uses the same card.
So the question is. We know this happens sometimes. Is there any source with credibility that really knows WHY this happens??? And does any setting reduce the likelihood of it happening again? And why can't Palm make the results less debilating? There is NO REASON that it needs to delete your data. This is crazy.
Also, other than my few purchased apps, none of my critical data is even backed up by the Palm Profile!!! I still had to re-create all my POP3 accounts, change all my preferences back, re-sync with Exchange, re-sync with Chapura, and then re-marry all the contact duplicates that Synergy did not handle right. So what's the worth?
Can the Palm Profile/backup be turned off? Does changing the palm profile in the apps perferences setting from "submit password every 4 hours" (whatever that means) to only at purchase help??
Do you have any other options when you get that reboot r erase prompt? Pull the battery without answering the prompt perhaps???????
If I am on the road and this happened, I would be without half my contacts until I returned which is unacceptable. This is very disappointing. I cannot believe the default action is not "let's TRY AGAIN", and not, "hey, let's erase all of this user's data on him"!!!
If this happens one or two more times, I have had it. I will be looking at another OS and phone after having Palm phones and organizers for the last 10 years or so. This is unacceptable.
BJB

Thanks for the reply. Nowhere in here do I get the sense that Palm even thinks this is a problem or are going to work on fixing it. It implies Palm thinks it is okay and the problem is me, the user, the customer, because I do not want my data resided on Palm's servers or Google's servers. Does Palm understand this is an issue whether my data is on my home PC or in the cloud and in Palm Profile??? The issue is not how I choose to store just one of my calendars and contact lists (out of 3). The issue is a bug in the Palm profile system.
The first point is this.... Regardless of HOW this happens, Palm should not immediately erase all of my data!!!! Let's say I DID sync all my data to Palm Profile. I STILL would not want to have to re-download everything just because of some glitch with your backup servers, the carrier's network, or my phone!!! Go look at some pre forums. You will see many people that DO sync all of their data to their profile, and they are STILL upset with this Palm BUG. If security is the concern, how about asking for a password first vs. just asking whether I want to reboot or erase all data? If it is really me, I would know the password! Your answer seems to imply that what is happening is OKAY. It is NOT okay whether I sync everything to Palm profile or not!
Further, even if all my data WAS backed up to Palm Profile, you still lose all preferences, all manually matched synergy contacts, etc.... etc... Again, I would still be very upset if all my data was erased even if EVERYTHING was backed up to Palm profile. DON'T ERASE MY DATA!!!
I have no problem re-synching my exchange e-mail after a problem. It works from the road, etc. However after 10 years, Palm decided to not suport the syncing of home PC's with the Pre. An unfortunate decision as Palm was a pioneer in this. You talk about security....Perhaps some of us do not want our data stored on Palm servers or google servers!!! Yes, indeed, in the event of a crash I cannot restore from the road. I can live with this if the crash was from a hardware or software issue. But it is NOT OKAY if it is caused by Palm just because of some system glitch. Since you are not restoring my home PC data anyway, why erase it?
You talk about being logged out of your profile. My phone was just used, and it was sitting on my desk. Just sitting there. And then it popped up that "I was no longer logged into my profile". What causes this? Why does it not give me a chance to re-login? How come after the erase of data and reboot I was then magically "logged in" and it was working? Did the person that was trying to steal my non-existent data in my palm profile stop trying?
So are you telling me that someone was trying to use my phone SIM, on a pre plus, with my e-mail, and had my password....and trying to login, and that is why I got the message? And then magically right after I rebooted, they stopped trying and all was okay???
I do not believe that is the case. And again, if it is, ask for my password, or a security question, or SOMETHING to confirm that it is me. And a simple google search will tell Palm/HP that this is a problem many of us have had. If I have it consistently, as I said, a 10 year customer is gone.
BJB
PS. A reply that said: "Palm is aware of this problem and will correct it with the next software update" would be a lot more comforting.
