Proper Way to change sequences video mode

I have a sequence that I originally setup as DV-NTSC Anamorphic and I want to change it to 24p. I know that I can click on Final Cut menu and select Quick setup to select something but does this actually change the sequence I was working on? If not, how do I go about changing the current settings for the actual sequence? And can you have multiple sequences in a single project that each have their own video specifications?
Thanks,
glenn

When you change the quick setup, it will only affect the NEXT sequence you open.
If you want to change the time base of a sequence, you have to create a new sequence and copy in your clips.
Every sequence in a project can have a different settings. Just don't try to nest all of them together.

What is the proper way to change rowHeight? (possibly animate?)

What is the proper way to change rowHeight for UITableView? I set tableView.rowHeight and do a [tableView reloadData]. Is this necessary? Also, is it possible to animate the height change? It is not a standard transition.

Not a perfect solution for your animation question - but....
in the function where you want to change the height
WARNING PSUDO CODE
//indexPath is the path for theCell you want to edit
thePlaceThatYouStoreYourHeights[x] = aNewHeight;
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
and inside of - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath (NSIndexPath *)indexPath
return thePlaceThatYouStoreYourHeights[indexPath.row];
Basic flow
1. Store new desired height somewhere
2. Remove the cell deleteRowsAtIndexPaths
3. UITableView paints the animation for the "remove" transition **see note
4. Re-add the cell insertRowsAtIndexPaths (which subsequently kicks of a call to heightForRowAtIndexPath before animating)
5. UITableView paints the animation for the "add" transition
You do NOT need to call reloadData to get this to work.
**note: an enum such as UITableViewRowAnimationNone does not exist (it should but it doesnt seem to). the docs for InsertRowsAtIndexPaths say "A constant that either specifies the kind of animation to perform when inserting the cell or requests no animation." however there are only 5 items in the UITableViewRowAnimation enum and UITableViewRowAnimationFade resolves to 0 - so passing NO will actually get you fade. Nor will it take nil.
Hope this helps shed some light.

Proper way to mask all video except head of person speaking?

I would like to know the proper way to remove the background of a person speaking so that it shows their head. I would then like to change the shape to say an oval cutout and the feather the edge of the video. What is the best way to achieve this.
As always thanks in advance for your reply to my post.
Sebastian

Hello...
go to Effects>Video Filters>Matte and choose 'Mask Shape'. drag this onto your clip. Douple click on the clip to bring it into the viewer, go to the Filters tab and change the 'Shape' to Oval, then use the sliders to get the desired proportions.
Then position of the Oval mask can be keyframed so if your subject is moving, you can track the mask over the movement.
Then, go back to Effects>Video Filters>Matte and drag the 'Mask Feather' filter onto the clip, and use the slider on this filter to apply the desired amount of feather.

What is the proper way to change a url link?

I need to tell DW to change all url links (on all pages) going to an old url to a new url. What is the proper way to do this? thanks.

Did you even read my reply properly?
'Defining a site' in DW has everything to do leveraging most functionality with FUNDAMENTALS of DW usage.
'Change links sitewide' is an option within DW that will change links across sites by replacing an old link with a new - for DW to do this for more than just ONE FILE in your site, DW has to know what other files make up your site. This is why 'Defining a site' is critical.
If you do feel otherwise, please go ahead and wait for somebody else (an expert) to post his views on this. Let's see what they have to say.
Either which way, I really think you should change your attitude while posting on this forum. That will not only help you, but all of us here.
Good luck.

Any way to change the video frame size once imported into fcp?

I have an edit that was done with 2 cameras. I wanted to create a multiclip edit but the size of the video from the 2 cameras are different. One file is 720x480 and the other is 720x486. My sequence is 720x480. Is there a way to adjust the 720x486 footage while in fcp to match the 720x480 footage without re importing the footage.
Thanks

first determine what you want your sequence dimensions to be. 480 or 486. if it's 486 then just take your 480 clips and scale them slightly so they will the entire frame. if your sequence dimensions are 480 then you shouldn't need to adjust your 486 clips.the FCP manuals suggest that your footage will look better upscaling them with Compressor rather than in FCP. but it all depends on what your delivery is.

I have a old Ipod classic that has the abilities to hold movies but it is an older version and will not hold movies that i got after 2012. Is there a way to change the video formating so that I can put it on my ipod?

I want to put movie on my ipod that I bought specifically with a digital copy but it says that they cannot be copied to my device. I don't know why.

"She says it doesn't work because the iPod is too old and Apple doesn't suport it any more."
She is wrong.
Since you do not mention what happens when you try it is hard to help.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Everything on the ipod came from your computer in the first place. It should still be there and you should always have a backup copy.

Proper way to change URL connections

When viewing a page of search results from Google with the search term "java", I get the following URL: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=java&btnG=Google+Search
Page 2 is associated with the URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=java&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=10&sa=N
In order to change pages programmatically, do I need to do anything with the first URLConnection before creating a second URLConnection?

All google needs is q and start, so your first page would be:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=test&start=0
second:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=test&start=10
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=test&start=1000
Or you could use the Google Web API.

Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share. What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions? I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings. I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings. Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
change each one of them manually in the report manager?
Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cygnus46,
Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
wiperzeus from this similar thread:
Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to enable 640x80 video mode on Satego P200?

Hello all,
for an old game I need the video mode 640x480x8. Unfortunately I can't select the video mode using Catalyst for the Satego P200 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600. Is there a way to enable this video mode?
Michael

The game is Starcraft and its' addon Broodwar. As version 2 is in the works and some friends and I played it very often in former times we started playing it again. Kind of veteran meeting but quite fun. :)
There are not many posts about it but there seems to be a problem related to s-video output when using 640x480. I am quite sure the graphics adapter, the display and the driver are able to support this mode. So I hope there's maybe neat trick to change some *.inf file or something similar to reactivate the mode.

How to change sequence settings without CC 7.1 update?

Well, i was hoping that Adobe will release 7.1 update on October 15th, as promised on some websites. I don't recall, maybe it was Creative COW or any other.
That's why i have created 720p PRORES proxies for 9x multi-camera live performance shoot which lasts for 2 hours for lag free, fast editing.
I have sucessfully edited it and promised my clients that on October 16th they will get the whole show in 1080p, high quality.
So, there is no update yet, and yes, i can relink files to original 1080p, but the multicam sequence is capped to 720p and i simply can't find a way to change it's size.
The old fashion copy/paste way from one sequence to another does not work, since 720p sequence is linked to multicam edits. In CS6 i could edit ".prproj" file in text editor to change any properties (including sequence properties), but right now in CC, .prproj file contains binary data only, so i can't do it that way either.
Maybe someone knows any other way to change sequence settings right now, or what is the exact day for 7.1 release?
Thank you!

Hi Paolon!
You need to extract your .prproj using WinRAR to a text .prproj file, then use some text editor such as Notepad to search and replace sequence dimensions
For example find "1920" and replace it to "1280" if it looks like Īt belongs to a sequence definition.
I don't recall how it was called, maybe "VideoFrameRect" or something similar.
First create some very simple project to experiment with, and always make a backup copy in case something goes wrong

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Language: Java
It is used in addition: JMF
When capturing video from WEB-cameras with JMF - getting the video is at the lowest resolution.
Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {
initComponents();
player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));
player.start();
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.start();
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try{
new WorkWithWebCam().setVisible(true);
}catch(Exception ex){}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
panelMain.getGraphics().drawImage(this.grabFrameImage(), 0, 0, 400, 300, null);
P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

Opensource ATI can't switch video modes with CTRL+ALT+plus/minus

Hi,
I've updated my system to the new xorg-server and video driver.
The new video driver (xf86-video-ati-6.7.195-1) can't switch video modes with the CTRL+ALT+plus/minus key combination. I use this key combination a lot and before I upgraded to the new driver this worked :-(
Anybody else having this problem?
I know I can use xrandr to change the video mode, but it doesn't exactly do what I want. Xrandr changes the video mode, but also changes the resolution of the screen, while CTRL+ALT+plus/minus keeps the resolution intact (the screensize is bigger than what is seen on the monitor, you can scroll the screen by moving the mouse "out" of the monitor)
Is there a fix/patch that I can try?

It looks like this is the result of the new opensource ati drivers use the new xrandr.
One of the changes is that it will treat the screen section in xorg.conf differently. Browsing through video modes, using the CTRL+ALT+plus/minus key combination, that are defined in the screen section in xorg.conf is not possible anymore.

How do you change multiple 'Video Kind' values at once?

Hello,
first of all, sorry if this has already been asked, but I tried searching for a straight answer in here and in other forums without any luck..
.. but I was wondering if there is a way to select multiple videos, and change their video kind to something else, all at once(eg. from Movie to Music Video)...
...When I select a group of videos and click get info, it doesn't give me the option to change the video kind, so I've had to change each one, one at a time, (which gets very tiresome :P)...
...so is there a way to change multiple 'Video Kind' values at once, or should I pray that it becomes available in the next update of iTunes?
Pentium 4 3.0 ghz Windows XP

You can't do it right now. Wait for the next update, and hope it's there.
For the moment, I suggest selecting Get Info on one song, changing the setting, then hitting the next button at the bottom to go right to the Get Info for the next song. You can rapidly change lots of these that way.

Permanently changing a video file to Movie or TV Show

I just wanted to know is there a PERMANENT way to change a video to either a tv show or a movie. If I add a file to iTunes it goes straight to Home Videos. I click on properties and then change it to say a TV Show and it will move. If I save that file to a hard drive and add it to another computer it goes straight to Home Videos again and I have to complete the process again.
Is there a simple way to change it permanently so I don't have to go through this process? Cheers

well when you buy it from the itunes store it downloads it and is put in your videos app so you can watch it whenever, even when your offline.

My iPad 2 won't go to video mode in camera?

I took some pictures in camera and then tried to go to video but it won't go. Anyone have an idea why not?

How are you trying to change to video mode ? You need to slide/drag the Video Photo Square options so that the Video option lines up with the yellow dot to their left - is that how you are trying to do it and it's not working ?
