Precision Editor collapses when used

A strange problem has suddenly arisen with the Precision Editor in one of my projects.  Other projects are unaffected.
The Precision Editor opens normally, but when I click & drag on anything (clips, handles etc) the editor collapses back to Timeline view and I'm dragging the clip or handle around in that view!  If I'm dragging a media clip from the B-side, it remains under the restored Timeline view until released, at which point it hops back into the timeline.   If I'm dragging the handle, it replaces the transition symbol in the Timeline view, again until released, at which point the regular transition symbol reappears.
Any ideas?  As it's only affecting one of my projects (sadly the one I have to work on at the moment!) I'm at rather a loss.

Thanks for both your suggestions! I've tried them both, but unfortunately neither helped.   The strange thing is that it appears only to be this one project that is affected; and the Precision Editor has been working normally previously.  The only thing that's the changed is that FCPX is now on 10.0.5.
This is what immediately happens when I try using the Precision Editor.  The interface collapses back to near-normal timeline, and when the selected clip/handle is released, you're fully back in the normal timeline.

  • Format precision apparently ignored when using read from spreadsheet file

    I hope there is ridiculously simple solution to this problem but so far I can't find it. Using the Read from Spreadsheet File function in LabVIEW7.1, I can't get the floating point format (%f) to work; the decimal (%d) seems to work fine. For example, the first value in the attached file is 399.5853. When I read it in using %.2f format I would think I should get 399.58 but instead I get 399.58529663... Oddly if I use %d as the format, I get an as expected value of 399. Can anyone see what I am missing?

    The solution to the problem is the internal representation of floating point numbers: with a limited number of bytes only a limited number of the (infinitely many) real numbers can be represented. The nearest representable number to 399.5853 is 399.58529663 if the so-called single precision representation (abbr. SGL in Labview) is used.
    It seems that (ridiculously!) NI has chosen to use SGL as the data format in the Read from Spreadsheet VI which causes the unexpected behaviour you observed.
    You can change the representation from SGL (which uses 4 bytes) to DBL (double precision, using 8 bytes) in the Read from Spreadsheet VI and you will observe a better approximation then, but still not 'exact' since the number now reads 399.585300000000018. (With t
    he EXT representation, 10 bytes, you could go to even higher precision)
    I hope someone from NI reads this and they fix the unnecessary limitation of the precision in the Read from Spreadsheet VI.

  • JTree collapses when using treeStructureChanged

    I'm using a JTree with the default model and L&F (basic). When I call treeStructureChanged, it collapses the entire tree even if I specify the TreePath of the change.
    Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Assaf.

    Thanks for replying. I think this may just be a flaw in the default implementation, because it does look like it can support it. Just wanted to know if there was an easy way before I go and mangle Sun's code.

  • How to fix sequence editor error when using Test Executive 5.1.1 with Labview6.0?

    I had a test sequence that was built with Test Executive 5.1.1 and Labview 5.1.1. The sequence test step vi used Test Shell to allow the user to edit and config the test. After upgrading the test step vi from Labview 5.1.1 to Labview6.0 by mass compiling all vi to Labview6.0, an error occurred while editing the test vi. The error is as following:"Sequence Editor Error: Config Test Vi Callback.vi: Could not config test vi. Make sure the path to the vi is valid." I am sure the vi path is valid, does anybody has any idea why the path was not seen? How can this bug be fixed? Any hints or suggestion would be helpful.

    That's really a TestStand question. You should post to the TestStand Discussion forum. TestStand Discussion Forum

  • PSE7 Windows XP: Editor crashes when using panorama?

    Hi 
    I am a 1st time forum user so here goes.
    I wish to photomerge 3 photographs in a new panorama file: Before it crashes a box appears with:-
    Error1: unable to create window - internal error Line 364 ->var w = new windows (res)
    I have done much research and others have experienced the same issues.
    I have done some of the adobe fixes, but some of them are far too technical for me.
    Looking for a solution, if there is one, please.
    As throwing the PC out of the window is not an option at this time . (Not yet, any how)!

    Hi Wilko Girl,
    Try using Panorama without importing the photos from Organizer. Just open the photos from Editor and launch Panorama. This problem should not occur.
    Thanks

  • Error -50 when using an external editor

    Having finally graduated from iPhoto 2, I found some "interesting" behavior in iPhoto '08...
    iPhoto objected when I tried to save an externally edited photo back into its slot in iPhoto -- nothing lost, just an error dialog and the edits were not applied. Since it was repeatable, it made me curious.
    When you choose external editor to edit a photo in iPhoto 8, the first thing iPhoto does is stash a copy of the original (and activates the "Revert to Original" menu item for that photo). Just editing in iPhoto 8 doesn't do any of this until you accept the changes -- that's an important distinction, because if you change your mind with the external editor (and make no edits, or cancel them without saving), that stashed copy stays in the "modified" folder.
    For all practical purposes, it's "forgotten" unless you happen to choose "Revert to Original", in which case, the extra photo is unceremoniously purged. Now, if you don't think about purging that forgotten copy and later decide that you actually do want to edit that photo in an external editor after all, iPhoto will again stash a copy while your external editor is opening. It gets stashed in the same folder that already has the previously stashed (and forgotten) image file. If the file were overwritten, there would be no big problem, but it does not get overwritten, and you can't have two files with the same name in the same folder. So the finder appends a "_1" to the end of the file name -- and THAT sets up the problem. When you finish editing and save the file back to iPhoto, you will be (unintentionally) trying to add a file to your collection that iPhoto doesn't know about. The filename change to avoid a conflict in the folder is not reflected in the iPhoto 8 database.
    Older iPhoto versions would have let that pass (and that's why there were always problems with database corruption), but the newer version catches the attempt and simply doesn't allow the save to take place.
    That's the "why it happens", but it's only my second day with iPhoto '08 and I'll need a little more time to work out how to selectively fix the problem without damaging the database -- a database rebuild does not purge those stashed photos (and you wouldn't want it to because most of them are the originals for photos that were actually modified).

    Brie Fly:
    I tried to replicate that using Photoshop and could not. When starting an edit with PS a file is created and remains is I abort the edit in PS. However, if I edit again with PS and save the original modified file is changed with no other file being created.
    What 3rd party editor are you using? The only time I get a _1 file is when I move a file to an event that has the same file name as a file already in that event.
    What system are you running and are you at iPhoto 7.1.1, iLife Support 8.1.1 and Quicktime 7.3?
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • When using pop up editor windows on a Joomla 1.0.15 website the URLs selected in the pop-up are not passed back to the main window

    The Joomla content management system version 1.0.15 provides a content editor which uses pop-up windows to select images and files. When using any of these pop up editor windows since 3.6.9 the URLs selected in the pop-up are not passed back to the main editor window.
    Up until FF 3.6.8 there were no problems, but FF 3.6.9 and 3.6.10 both exhibit this same problem, as does FF 4 Beta 6. (Support Question raised on this forum in early September when 2.6.9 was released but no response)

  • Saving PS CS3 files when used as an external editor

    When I open an image through aperature with PS as the external editor it makes a copy of my image and saves it in my library when Im done in PS which is great, but when I take that same PS edited file, open it back up in PS and attempt to save another PS version of it in the aperature library with the "Save as" command it does not show up in my library anywhere. If I go to the aperature library folder I can find my additional saved PS images in the correct library folder, but they do not show up in aperature.
    Does anyone know a way to be able to save additional PS files in the aperature library?
    Thanks!!

    Thanks for the help. Only problem still is that if I do it that way and import the edited saved Tif or PSD file back into aperature my PS layers and settings are erased when I try to reopen that PS file with the external editor through aperature. Unlike the original image duplicated in aperature when using PS as the external editor which I can continue to open and reopen from within aperature and be able to access all my saved PS layers, mask, adjustments, etc.
    Sorry if this isnt making any sense

  • Domesticating JCheckBox when used as editor in JTree

    If you look at the way checkboxes are drawn in certain L&F's (say, 1.5's Metal), you'll see that upon arming (mouseover/hover) of the box, a highlight or focus is painted on the little square box. I believe this may be true in the XP L&F and know it is true in JGoodies Plastic XP.
    This is caused by arming of the box occuring just by a mere mouseover which gives a fancy visual effect. However, when used as a cell editor in a JTree, this looks really bad and even inconsistent since the renderers don't have the same effect.
    So I'd like to disable this, but after a long night of hacking through Swing code, it appears that this stuff is really tightly wrapped in. There are no per-instance flags that can be set to disable it. BUT, here is what gives me hope. I've got JCheckBoxes in all my JTables and NONE of them experience this visual feature. Somehow JTable must be trapping and consuming the mouse entered, exited, etc. events so that you never see the painting of the checkbox change when you hover over it. JTable has tamed this wicked beast and put him in his place. What is this great master's secret?

    What I meant to say was a table is a single component so once the mouse enters the table no more mouseOver events will be generated.
    As you move the mouse around the table you are moving the mouse over rendered versions of a checkBox. Again since these are rendered versions you won't generate a mouseOver event.
    When you generate a mousePressed event on a cell with a checkBox as an editor, the editor is invoked and the checkBox is painted in its "pressed" state, so again you won't see the rollover effect. When you release the mouse cell editing is stopped and the renderer is again displayed, so again you won't generate a mouseOver event on the checkBox.
    So I don't think JTable is doing anything fancy to handle mouseOver or mouseExited events. Its just that they are only generated at the table level and not the cell level.
    I haven't played with JTree or any fancy LAF's, so I'm not sure what to suggest. I'm surprised that JTree would work differently.

  • When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

    When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

  • BK Precision device works in VISA test panel but fails when using driver

    I am trying to control a BK Precision XLN power supply.  I have set it up as a TCPIP VISA instrument using sockets (port 5025).  It validates fine in NI MAX, and when using the VISA test panels I can write to and read from it (although I get a timeout error on the read if I specify too many bytes).  When I use the supplied instrument driver blocks in LV, VISA read commands always timeout and fail to return anything, regardless of how many bytes are specified.

    I don't think it is a VXI-11/LXI instrument, it did not autodetect and I had to use the 'Manual Entry of Raw Socket' option to set up the device.  I am sending  a termination on the write (\n), if I don't send a termination on the read it captures the read but then gives a timeout error if waiting for more bytes, if I use a termination cahracter on the read it functions as you would expect, except that it returns multiple termination characters (line or carriage feeds) in some messages so you would have to perform multiple reads to get the whole message.  (this is all in the test panels, I haven't gotten anything back using the VISA blocks in a VI)
    Given that behaviour it seems more like what you would get using a telnet terminal interface but even given that I still am confused why I can talk to it with the test panel and not using the VISA blocks in a VI. 
    Thanks,

  • 18 fps breaks transition previewing, precision editor, and keywords

    Greetings,
    I'm working on a Super 8 movie project. My films were scanned at 18 fps. When I imported them into iMovie '11 I had no choice but to convert them to another speed -- 24 fps in this case. OK. Most things work fine, but there are a few exceptions.
    Keywords: Easy to add, difficult to remove. Never get the checkmarks. Sometimes have to use Cmd-Z to remove they keywords. But it all works fine as long as I have a project whose frame rate is the same as the raw footage, which I can't do with Super 8 transfers. OK, I can live without keywords.
    Transition previews: Again, this is only a problem when there is a frame mismatch between the project footage and the raw footage. But with my Super 8 transfers I have no choice: The raw footage is at 18fps while iMovie does only 24 or 30 fps. I chose 24 fps.
    One problem is using the transition preview function in the transition Inspector. (Just to be clear, I hover over the little transition thingie in the Project Browser to select it, click the gear, then click Transition Adjustments on the drop-down menu. Then I click the Transitions thing and that opens a palette of transitions. I skim over the various transitions to preview them.) Depending on the transition (assume were doing clip A to clip B), clip A shows up fine but, depending on which transition you choose, part or all of clip B is the wrong footage from somewhere else in the project. (WT...?)
    Precision editor: Skimming the bottom row shows a completely different part of the footage than it should! Playback on the middle line works fine, though. Footage on the top strip is the same as on the middle strip when the playhead is to the left of the transition. This should also be the case with the bottom strip and the middle strip when the playhead is to the right of the transition, but the bottom strip shows a completely different footage instead.
    Also, the transition playback is a little jerky. Fortunately, all is well with normal playback and exported footage.
    OK. I'm on iMovie 9.0.4. I think this is the latest version I can use with OS X version 10.6.8. I saw a post with iMovie 9.0.7 mentioned, but that only works for Lion. OK, so my question is, will these bugs be fixed if I upgrade to Lion and the most current version of iMovie? Or, am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks.
    AEF

    CORRECTION: Sorry, the mismatch of frame rates is not responsible for the bottom strip of the Precision Editor (PE) from showing the wrong footage. I did a test where some Super 8 18-fps footage placed into iMovie 24 fps  worked fine. But most cases still exhibit the problem. So I don't know what's causing it.
    I'm reasonably sure that frame-rate mismatching is the cause of the keywords problem. I took some test footage with the Mac's camera and that's at 15 fps. If I work with that footage in a 30 fps project, all works well. If I work in a 24 fps project, I never get the checkmarks when marking footage, but I am able to use Remove All to remove all the keyword marking strips. But when I work with my Super 8 footage, 18 fps original in 24 fps projects, it's even worse. I can't remove the keywords except via Cmd-Z. Acutally, many moons ago I think I did find a way, but it was difficult and took much experimentation, and thus much time. Come to think of it, the "many moons ago" was almost certainly a time when I had an eariler verion of iMovie. Other than this, my tests yield consistent results -- so far ((!))
    Great program, except for the annoying bugs. I like the design. I really like the "extendo buttons", as David Pogue and Aaron MIller's book iMovie '09 calls them (Apple term: Fine Tuning buttons). And now that I'm adding a few transitions to my VFT movie, I'd really like the PE to work. Bummer.
    As for stuttering transitions, I have more experimentation to do.
    Sorry for the goof about the PE.

  • Blue waves not appearing in Precision Editor

    When I click the blue audio icon in Precision Editor, the blue waves do not appear
    above and below the clip filmstrip. What do I do? Why are they not appearing?
    debcoo
    thx

    The precision editor includes video and its associated audio, additional audio tracks such as from itunes are treated as extras and therefore don't display their waveform, which can otherwise be seen by selecting the audio track and using clip trimmer. Sorry i didn't fully understand your question to begin with.
