Questions on the Effects settings

Well, the next thing that somewhat throws me is the use of the special effects. For example, when I clicked on the special effects for a particular object it always comes up with Bevel and Emboss and Directional Feather checked. I typically have to uncheck those parameters.
Additionally, clicking on drop shadow has always been a source of confusion to me. I just cannot get the correct distance or size to typically come up with a drop shadow that looks good, especially on text.
Therefore, I have a few questions that possibly you experts can help me on:
Q1.     Is there a way to reset the parameters in effects dialog box to the defaults?
Q2.     Typically what parameters do you all use to have nice-looking drop shadows for text? Mine always appear to be cloudy and just don't have the clarity. I had to mess around and over and over trying to get something that looks nice. Then the next time I have to do something I forget what I did the first time. You would think that I would take a picture of the properties settings for drop shadow and save it by my computer!
Q3. When you are trying to do a drop shadow for text, do you typically set the settings drop-down box to "Text" or do you just leave it on the default setting "Object"?
Q4.     Do you know of a script that I could run whenever I wanted to apply the Drop Shadow to Text?
Well, I guess that's all for now, but I know for sure that when I submit this I will remember something else that I wanted to ask.
Thank you in advance,
Bob Wagner

Hi Bob.
It sounds like you set the effects with nothing open, which is what you need to do (unset them with nothing open) to restore the default to not having them. Most defaults are set this way. If a document is open with nothing selected, you youare creating a new default for the document. If no docs are open you are creating a default for all new work, but existing documents will not be affected.
In a similar vein, if you get a drop shadow you like, write down the numbers and you can set this as the default value (don't forget to uncheck the box for drop sahdow when you're done or it will be applied to everything). You could also save the settings as an object style.
Whether you set the shadow to oject or text would depend, I think on the circumstance and whether one does things you don't like.

How do I get loops to keep the effect settings I hear when previewing?

When I place loops into a new track, the effects settings go away and it is simply a dry signal. How can I move a loop from the browser into a new track and have it keep the effects settings that I hear when I preview the loop?

If you drag a green MIDI loop onto the Arrange window space, it should create a Software instrument track with all the required plug-ins for the sound, so don't drag it to an already existing Software instrument track.
If you drag it to an audio track it will convert it to an audio file, so obviously the instrument/fx plug-ins wont be in the channel strip.
If that's what you mean?

Question about the effective radiated power of WRT54G wireless router

This is a community forum. Here are the people who use Linksys devices. Nobody from Linksys is here. For those details you have to contact Linksys. Go to their website and look for the "Contact Us" page.

E3000 Question, in the advanced settings, in the Storage section there is a Media Server tab

Anytime I add files to the usb drive that is connected to the router I have to refresh the database for my Sony Media Player to see it, there is a setting to automatically refresh but the shortest amount of time is 2 hours, is there a way to change that so it refreshes every 1/2 hour? TIA

I guess that the shortest amount of time is just really up to 2 hours unless Linksys will release a new fimrware and make it half an hour.

How does the crop-lock and "Effect" settings logic work?

The crop lock and Effect setting have in common the fact that they are unpredictable with a strange logic I have yet to figure out. Questions:
What decision process causes the crop lock to remain locked, and then suddenly decide to stay open from one use to the next (Or the reverse).?
What makes the "Effects" decide to retain its last used settings, and sometimes not? (Usually the last customized setting is NOT what I want for the next photo in line to be edited).
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply!

There is no distinction betwen edited and un-edited. And the tools and controls do not have any defaults of their own aside from what the images possess. You can't put the crop tool on 3:2 and then move from image to image clicking "apply"; this is simply not how the LR interface works.
Understood, except that these settings are an exception. The effects settings will be stuck in the last positions they where on before you created the edit button. See attached photo for what I mean by edit buttons and associated settings. This also applies to graduated filters.
This is difficult to describe. I think I've figured out the logic but cant understand why anyone would want it to work this way: If I choose a setting *before* making the first mark (i.e. new button) with the tool, those settings will persist forever until I change them (even if I change catalogs). If I change the settings AFTER applying the tool, they are forgotten even if I want to keep them. I never want a custom setting to persist into the next photo because the last tool/setting I used will not likely be the first tool used in the next photo.
And just to be clear, the effects I'm referring to are on the right. The timing of WHEN you adjust those settings determines whether or not they persist in what I consider an undesirable way. In other words, in order to avoid messing up the presets, I must always start the tool before adjusting the effects. That is the only way to keep them from persisting into the next tool/button operation.

How can i change the default settings in km folder 'favorites'?

Dear experts,
i have a question about the default settings in the KM folder 'favorites' (to the portal favorites iview):
Over 'Details' in the default settings it's possible to activate the option 'manual ordering'. Then, all users can sort and order their portal favorites. But in the default settings of this folder the on top known option is not standardically activatet!!
How can i activate this option as default eg. automatically at once for all Users??
Under Content Administration > KM-Content > root > userhome > userXY > folder 'favorites': context menue > details: settings > manual ordering it's for each user adjustable. But if you have for example 5.000 users in the pcd of the portal it's a lot of and stupid work.
Thank you very much for all your answers or idears of developement.
TBM

Hello Mr. Urs,
thanks for your comment. But I have offered this solution already to my department. They are not contented with it because they fears it would be too complicated for the single user.
The layout set of the iview 'portal favorites' is changeable. The real main (entrance) portal application (PAR-file) 'com.sap.km.cm' with his component 'navigation' (portalapp.xml) only very hard!!
Is it to be put on possibly a higher folder with inheritance on the folders specific for user 'Favorites'?
Or do you know whether is there release with support package stack that contain this already ("upgrade")?
Thanks a lot again.
Many greetings
TBM

Effects settings disappear

I've read some posts where a user's exported audio mix does not contain any of their effect setters -- this is an issue I've also experienced, but with a twist.
Occasionally, the effects settings will return to their default settings upon re-opening the STP multitrack project. Has anyone else seen this or know what to do to fix it?
I currently running STP 2.0.1, OS 10.4.10, QT 7.2. According to Software Update, there are a number of updates available to install, (OS 10.4.11, QT 7.4.1, ProKit Update 4.5) as well as an EFI firmware update (v4.5) for my MacPro 3GHz Quad Xeon. I chosen not to install any of them at this time because I'm in the middle of several projects at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi!
First off: Sorry, I have not found a solution, yet.
But I have the same problem and I think that this is somehow linked to Snow Leopard, too:
Soundbooth was working fine -> Stopped using it for a while -> Upgraded to Snow Leopard -> No labels, no text or values at all.
I reinstalled Snow Leopard today (from scratch) and installed Snoundbooth CS3 -> No labels -> Updates -> Still no labels.
Any help would be appreciated (besides downgrading to Leopard)
Thanks,

Can I copy the filter/motion/effect settings from one clip to others?

I've got a series of photos in my timeline, each will move with some random little rotation and zoom in/out pan, etc... on a black background. Can I save some time by setting up one photo with the effects the way I want it and then copying those settings to the other photos?
After doing that, I would have to adjust the settings on each photo to randomize them. Or would it be just as easy/easier to just start from scratch with each photo?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Once your clip's motion and scale is adjusted, select your clip in timeline, use copy command. Now select all others clips in timeline, use the contextual menu (control click) over the fist one, and select "paste attributes menu--" select "basic motion".
You can also use option-V shortcut to invoque the paste attribute contextual menu.
When all your clips have the same movements and scale, simply recenter (motion tab) each one to put some variation in motion.
You can also set two ot three movements (clips and paste item properties in random order (manually) to other clips.

Hi I went to an Apple store in sydney regarding a battery problem on my Iphone . All the think its the phone settings but my question is what the point of giving the facilities in phone if we are not suppose to use those?

Your question/request is incomprehensible.
This much can be understood:
You have an iPhone (model unknown)
You have some sort of battery issue (exact kind unknown)
You went to the Apple Store in Sydney (presumably, Australia)
You did not achieve satisfaction on said visit.
So, throw a shrimp on the barbie while you explain yourself, mate!

helo, my iiphone is unlock and i upgrade to 5.1 version when the upgrade finish i get this question-An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now? is there a resone not to upgrade, will he become lock?

If your phone is factory unlocked, or officially unlocked by your carrier, updating will NOT re-lock the phone. If it was unlocke by unauthorized methods, any update or restore will re-lock it.

A question about the option Reset All Settings

Hello, I have a question about the reset all settings function in the IPad. I need to keep all of the installed applications on the device yet I need to remove any log in information and contacts. Is this the correct option or would the Erase All Content and Settings be what I want?

If you read the OP's request, they "need to keep all of the installed applications on the device". Selecting "Erase All Content and Settings" will do just that, erase everything.
Faroff, you can remove accounts in Settings/ Mail, Contacts, Calendar ... that would remove contacts only if the contacts were synced to such an account. If contacts were synced from iTunes, you'd have to un-sync them from iTunes by changing the sync settings. If the contacts were just manually entered and not synced with anything, you have to delete them one by one. However, iOS will remember past usage of a contact, so even if you remove them they may be recalled by you initiating an email or iMessage to something close to what used to be in the Contacts app. The only way to clear that I think is to do a full erase of the iPad.
As for log-in information, go to Settings/ Safari/ Passwords & Autofill, where you can erase passwords and saved credit card info. You can also clear cookies and data in this menu.
You might be better off doing a full erase of the iPad. Why do you not want to remove the apps? You can re-sync them from iTunes or re-download them if necessary. Or did you inherit this device from someone else and you're wanting to keep their apps installed but remove their private information?

Can I set a default to effect settings? Or apply the same effect settings to multiple clips?

If I want to set multiple clips to have the same effect, can I do that without resetting the effects every time I add it?
Or can I set a default setting to an effect that is different from the default default?

How to permanently save the color settings in terminal.app

Hi,
I have configured the "ls" command in the terminal.app to give colored outputs. However, I realised that for some reason the color-set used is designed for a light-colored background. When I use "white on black", the default blue color of the directories is almost invisible.
Of course, I can change this to another color, but this problem is true for all "blue" fonts, so for example, the default color for comments in vim is also blue and thus unreadable with black background.
This is not a problem when I use the xterm in X11. The color set there is much lighter and is perfect for a black backgound.
By drag-and-drop method (drag the chosen color on top of the directory texts in terminal), I am able to alter the blue color to a much lighter version. This apparently changes all fonts that is blue (this includes for example vim comments), and is exactly what I wanted. But I cannot figure out a way to save this as default. Clicking "Save setting as default" button in the inspector does nothing, the new terminal window still gives you this dark blue.
Anyone know how do I do this?
Cheers,
Lianheng

Hi Nils,
Thanks for the replies.
I think I see what the problem is: basically the colors in the terminal are darker than that of the xterm in X11. This can be clearly seen from the vim. May be this is to do with the fact that apple terminal.app has a "better" color support?
I quite like the default LSCOLORS settings, which is:
LSCOLORS=exfxcxdxcxegedabagacad
The color settings in X11 is just perfect for me at the moment. It would be so much nicer if I can make the color scheme in terminal.app look like that of the X11. If say, I change LSCOLORS to
LSCOLORS=gxfxcxdxcxegedabagacad
and change the color schemes in vim to a lighter theme, but this will effect the colors in X11 too, which is perfect now. Cyan will look too light in X11.
At the first I thought by drag and dropping the colors into terminal it will alter its color map. So my question was actually how can one (if it is possible) change the color map of the terminal.app, so that it inteprets the ANSI "blue" slightly differently.
By the way, the way that you can see all colors in vim is really neat! Thanks for that tip.
Cheers,
Lianheng

Why are the gamma settings different when I watch Final Cut projects on Quicktime?

I added a Gamma Correction filter to my video clips in Final Cut Express 4, and after exporting the project into a Quicktime file, the video shows up brighter and washed out in my Quicktime 7 player. I've even checked the box in Quicktime Preferences to enable Final Cut Studio color, and the video still looks brighter than it should be. What can I do to fix this?
Here is a side-by-side view of the Canvas on left and Quicktime on right.
I am sending this to someone as they will upload it, so to prevent any possible mishaps, my other question is are the settings from what we see from Final Cut the official one? Or is what I'm seeing on Quicktime what I will be seeing if I were to watch it streaming from a website?

It's a huge issue that has existed for years. Legacy QT used to have the Gamma set to 1.8 but since to 2.2. FCP however has no way (other than adding another effect) to adjust this. It does only affect some codecs however. Adobe After Effects has a check box in the project settings for 'Legacy Gamma in Quicktime'.
ProRes422 has a button for Automatic Gamma. One day they might add it to all the codecs - who knows.
In the meantime you could just add a gamma curves effect and adjust it to be 0.3 darker.

Beginner's question re Audition Effects

This is a real starter question so hoping someone can help me out..
I spent ages fiddling around and getting an audio clip sounding good with EQ earlier I saved it to my premiere pro project. I later realised I hadn't applied to the other audio clips on the track. How can I go back to the original EQ effect saved on the 1st clip and save that as a preset to apply to the others?
Many thanks

There are options within the effect for saving presets. Just to the right of the preset box is a tab that you hit to save your settings as a new one. If you haven't used the EQ for anything else, the chances are that your previous settings will reappear from the local preset cache when you re-open it, and you can then save them.
