Previewing clips in Prelude while in other applications (e.g. browsing the net)?

Prelude is a great tool for quickly going through media, but sometimes clips require you to watch or listen to the whole thing to find the right moments. I'd love to be able to have clips playing in the background while surfing the net. Is there a way to do this? I'm using the Mac version of Prelude, and everytime I switch to another application while Prelude is playing a clip, the clip pauses.

About your update. If you have multiple displays you can specify one of them to have full-screen playback (don't select your display with the Mac menu bar, that can make it a challenge to get back to the preferences to undo the change). The "Disable video output while in the background" control makes it so this full screen output is turned off when you bring another application forward. In all cases Prelude CS6 stops playing when another app comes forward. Thank you, in advance, for filing a feature request.

  • How to assign higher priority for labview while running other applications.

    HI,
    I am performing 2 time critical counter operations. I am using software time due to the hardware limitation of PCI6013(I have tried all other options). My problem is that I get a erractic value when I use mouse, keyboard or change to other application.
    I found the following link providing a method to provide maximum priority to labview application.But even regular labview users are asked not to use this application. I am not even a regular LABview user.Is there any precaution that I should take to use this VI. I am in need of such an application very badly. Please Help.

    "Is there any precaution that I should take to use this VI."
    Yes many,
    When you start to experiment with settings priorities in an attempt to avoid the affects of mouse clicks, then you should brace yourself for the application appearing hung. This would happen if LV had a higher priority than the mouse interupt service routine.
    Same applies to the other conditions you mentioned.
    If you go this route, backup before you experiment! Some strange things can happen to your file system.
    I have talked to you about this challenge of yours in another thread. This is what I recomend.
    1) If you can live with your readings being made on only one gear at a time, AND the sample rate being aperiodic, then you MAY be able to use DAQ Occurances and two session. I
    have not done this myself, and AM NOT SURE if it can be done or if you hardare supports it, but maybe;
    a) Open two references to your and configure A so it uses hardware timing (like you already said works good) to count gear A using the other counter as the gate. On the other session you are counting gear B.
    b) Configure both of the above to fire occurances when done.
    c)Start only session A.
    d) When A occurance fires start B.
    e) When B fires start A, etc.
    This will give you determinism on the counts and effectively shift the indeterminism to the update interval.
    If this is not good enough then there is another option. Can you get yourself a nice solid external reference that you can apply as an external gate to both counters? If so you will be using hardware timing and you should be on the right track.
    If these do not work out, you may end up having to go to different hardware.

  • When I get ready to burn my dvds they tend to be blurred. Even with pictures they do the same thing. When I preview them they blur while playing. But when I stop the video it becomes crystal clear.

    Thanks for asking for clarification. Appreciated. I did not see you post 8 until after I posted my post 9.
    Important that we define the issue as being related to just preview or to preview and export.
    Project Preset....
    When you start a new project, a project preset (project settings) need to be set by you or the project. The program
    is designed to do that based on the properties of the first video file that you drag to the Timeline. Sometimes the program
    does it right, sometimes not. If not, then you set the project preset manually assuring that the description of the project preset
    matches your video properties for at least frame size, frame rate, etc. A major function of the project preset is to direct
    the program to give you the correct space in the Edit area monitor for editing. If you select a project preset which includes
    1920 x 1080 in its description, then the space in the Edit area monitor will reflect that 16:9 format.
    If you or the program have set the correct project preset, then, when you drag your video to the Timeline for the first time, there
    will be no colored line over its content. That means that you are getting the best possible preview in the monitor. Once you
    edit that video, you will get an orange line over it. That is the program telling you that you no longer have the best possible preview
    and to get it you Timeline render using the Render button above the Timeline. When that Timeline rendering is complete, the orange
    line turns to green. That is the program telling you that you have the best possible preview which will be in effect until you edit the
    file again. Then orange to green again.
    Right now I would prefer to stay with trying to get your photos to an acceptable preview stage. No matter what the project preset,
    these will need Timeline rendering after they are dragged to the Timeline. Several have reported that the use of the DSLR project preset results in sharper images pre and post export. I want to see if any of that can enhance your situation.
    Please review and consider and then let me know if I am going in the right direction for the explanations. I will adjust
    my instructions/suggestions accordingly.
    More later.
    Thanks again for the follow up.

    I simply open the camera and a pop up saying "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again" appears and only lets me press okay. 
    Memory seems to be okay, can't figure out what it may be.
    Please, how can I fix this? Any help is appriciated.

     I had the same problem with my Bold and tried everything until out of frustration i just clicked the center picture taking button before the "Could not start the camera.

  • Playing Clips/Sequences in background, while using other application?

    I am working for a reality TV show and we are trying to take notes in Microsoft Word while the editors sequences are playing.
    Is there any way to change the preferences so that Final Cut will play a clip or a sequence while we are using another application, like Word.
    I know that quicktimes will play while I use other applications but will Final Cut do the same thing?
    Thanks for all your help!

    The program is not so sophisticated as to track both sequence TC and clip TC.
    If you need Clip TC, as Michael notes, just open them individually in Notetaker. Be sure to add other info Like Reel Name (number) on your own. The program doesn't seem to read the additional info fields that you add in FCP.
    While not perfect, it does offer a slick way to create review notes for easy communication.
    I understand one of the Adobe Premiere collaborative tools includes a note taking extension. I reportedly creates a file that can be imported by another person and will place markers on the timeline with the comments.
    I suppose if someone were very capable with XML scripting, they could do the same thing with a text file containing TC markers and be able to import that into a project ....

  • ITunes control (including add ratings) while in other applications?

    I am looking for a way to be able to control iTunes and add song ratings while doing other things on the PC. Something that would allow me to add (for example) hotkeys to change the song, add ratings, etc.. I had an app like this on the Mac. What can you recommend for PC iTunes? Thank you! (WIndows 7)

    I don't know about hotkeys, but you can use the Yahoo Widget Engine combined with one of several available iTunes widgets to rate, change songs, add artwork, etc.
    I wrote a widget that allows you to rate songs, including 1/2 stars (e.g. when you rate 5 stars in the widget, it's 2.5 stars in iTunes). It's based on someone else's widget "iTunes ezRate", which only let you do whole star ratings.
    You can download my version here (right-click, save-as). (put it in your "My Widgets" folder after you install the Yahoo Widget Engine.)
    I just used the mini-iTunes toolbar to change the songs, but you can also you another widget for that.

  • "Save a Version" or "Export" in Preview doesn't work while in other Apple apps work.

    I tried to resize images with Preview app.
    First I duplicated the file, resized it, saved, was prompted the file name so I entered new name and then it says "The document "xx" could not be saved",
    Then I tried reopen the file, resize it without duplication, save a version of it, and I got the same message.
    I tried save the file in several different folders, reboot the computer and none of them worked.
    Other Apple apps featuring autosave like Texteditor, Keynote work just fine.
    I know there are tons of resizing app out there, but I just want my Preview app to work correctly.
    My Mac is MBP bought in '10 summer, my OS is Lion.2, the latest one.
    Thank you for reading.

    It sounds like a Permissions problem.
    In the Finder, Go > (hold down the option key) and choose Library.
    Go into the Containers folder and delete the "com.apple.Preview" folder.
    In the Preferences folder, there will be some "com.apple.Preview" files. Maybe delete those too.
    See if that fixes it.

  • Run Time Error  while executing BSP application in Safari browser

    Hi Frens,
      I am new to BSP application. I have made changes for an existing BSP application which has to be executed on both IE and Safari browsers. I made changes in the View for IE browser and it is executing correctly. I have done the same changes in the Safari view also but when executed in Safari, the browser hangs up and in the backend in SAP it goes to dump. The dump message is as below:                                                                           
    " An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below         
    . The exception, which is assinged to the class 'CX_BSP_ELEMENT_EXCEPTION', was

    which led to a runtime error.

    Can anyone help me in understanding this?

  • While creating web application prokect getting error: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)

    I am getting error on creating even the empty web application project. The error message is as given below:
    The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
    I am using following build of Visual Studio:
    Visual Studio Professional 2013. Version 12.0.30723.00 Update 3
    Looks like it is the problem with the installation of the visual studio. But I can't take risk of re-installing now because it would stop my going on development work.
    Any would help to resolve this would be appreciated.
    P.S. I am also having Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate on my system.
    Regards, Randeep

    Hello Randeep,
    Will you get the same error when creating any other apps, like C# WinForm?
    If only web application project has the problem, you can try the following to reset the templates:
    Please open Windows Explorer, and navigate to  <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE (by default is C:\Program Files \Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE);
    Delete the ItemTemplatesCache, ProjectTemplatesCache folder;
    Open Visual Studio Tools/Developer Command Prompt for VS2013
    under Start menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 -> Visual Studio Tools (run it with Administrator privilege: right-click the program -> Run as administrator);
    Run the devenv /InstallVSTemplates switch;
    Run the devenv /Setup switch
    If all your projects get this error, please try repair the installaiton from control panel first. By the way, can you use Visual Studio Web projects before you get this error? And have you tried to use the Visual Studio Update 4, I see you still used
    Update 3, is there any reason for you to still use the Update 3 version?
    Best regards,

  • Headset too loud and other applications no longer adjust the volume

    So I buried out my Speed-Link Medusa 5.1 USB headset and tried it out with Linux. Worked reasonably well, I plugged it in, set the headset as primary sound output with asoundconf as written in the wiki and rebooted.
    Now I have two problems:
    a) I had to lower the volume to about 5 percent or they would blow my brains out.
    b) Sonata, Mplayer and similar software can no longer adjust my volume. Sonata simply shows the muted Icon eventhough it's not muted and Mplayer always shows full volume and I can't do anything.
    Hope you can help me.

    mine is also pretty loud with linux, either i have to lower the master volume in alsamixer to a level where my sound system is not loud enough or i have to stay between 0.5 to 2 with the medusa nx (it is the new model). both are connected to the same plug in my xonar d2 soundcard.
    anyway it is a great headset for gaming and even music is not bad with it (and remember...i am a hifi-freak )

  • Beach ballin' while running multiple applications!?

    If I run multiple programs with 10.5.2, I get the spinning beach ball a lot while doing the most basic things... I bought a mac to be able to run multiple apps comfortably.
    My pram is cleared, I repaired permissions, I booted up in safe mode. I did it all. I did everything except going back to 10.5.1
    _+*Where is 10.5.3??*+_

    I also have a beach ball issue in 10.5.2 (although it has happened in Tiger also).
    I'd say this is quite rare, I've only had it happen three times in total (2x on a MacBook Pro and 1x on a Quicksilver G4).
    What happens is that the frontmost app starts beach balling for some reason and it can't be force quit. If I go to another running application I can scroll around fine and also move the window/windows belonging to this app, but as soon as I "do" something (i.e. try to quit it or save an open document) it also starts beach balling. If I try to open another application that won't "come up" properly (pulsate in the Dock) and the it also stalls with the beach ball. This happened when I tried to launch Application Monitor. Eventually the Dock also stalled and the Finder and everything.
    Screenshot:
    http://home.mac.se/star-affinity/beachballing.png
    Just now 30 min. ago it happened on my G4 after I just closed the Software Update window after install of the new AirPort software. Beach ball for closing a window? And of course it spread to the other applications, very similar to the way described above.
    Not to the interesting part: I can log in to the machine (from another computer of course) using SSH and every thing seems fine when I run the "top" command! No application is using a lot of processing power or anything. I wish I had more Unix command knowledge as I maybe then could do some core dumps of the system or something, because this really feels like some kind of (quite rare, but still) bug in OS X.
    Of course it's not impossible that it's a third party program I have running, but I doubt that. Especially on the G4 where I have very few third party background programs (SteerMouse is the only one I think).
    I'm seriously thinking about filing a bug report with Apple, although it's very hard to narrow it down as I have no idea what trigger the problem.
    Except for this rather serious issue I think Mac OS X Leopard overall is a joy to use!
    Therefore it would be really nice to have this out of the way or at least know what's causing it.

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.
