Quick dumb question - Pre-running CC Particle World?

In Particular, you can pre-run your simulation so particles are born before time 00:00.   Is there a way to do this in Particle World? I seem to be missing it.

Pre-Comp the CC Particle World layer, then nudge it in time?
Of course, you loose the "camera awareness". You could have it by linking a camera inside the Pre-Comp with the main camera outside.
I am not aware of a built-in method.

  • Two really quick/dumb questions!

    Hi All,
    I have just bought a new Mac Mini and hooked it up to my Samsung 55 inch TV via HDMI and everything seems do be working great.
    My two dumb questions are:
    1: where on the new OS (I had a Mac 5 years ago and things have changed) is the top "Finder" bar and "disc" icon to save files?
    2: In Safari I do not seem to have a tools bar where I can for example open another tab for a new web page.
    Hope you can help a nubby :-)

    You are running a Mini so it might be that the screen resolution is not exact for your display. I have used a Mini with a conventional display but not HDTV. You might need to go into the settings for the TV to set the screen resolution to accommodate the mini's capabilities. Sorry that  I can't offer more on that score; when I use my Sony Bravia HDTV  it is with the iPad2 and HDMI and I have encountered no issues. Perhaps someone else on the forum has better insight into the Menu Bar problem on the Samsung as the principal display. 

  • NSLog - Quick Dumb Question

    OK, where does the output appear when putting NSLog statements in your code? I can't find it.
    I've put code in like NSLog(@"Got here") and enumeration of dictionaries but nothing ever shows up in the Simulator/Debug Debugger Console. Isn't that where it's supposed to be?

    The Xcode Console window only shows messages from NSLog when running from the device (I never knew that) and is not much help when running the Simulator (and that's what I was using).
    The Console.app does get the output from the Simulator but is congested with all the garbage collection crap from the system.
    I guess I'll learn to debug more from the device. Thanks.

  • One quick dumb question on BM3.9sp1

    I have running on nw65sp7 edir 8.7.9.
    Want to patch all servers, which are all the same as above, with nw65sp8.
    Prior to want to upgrade to edir 8.8 on all boxes including BM.
    I believe BM3.9sp1 is supported on edir 8.8, correct?
    Any other gotcha's with this arrangement?
    Thanks all!

    I should have been more informative, I saw that tid, references 8.8sp3.
    I believe it should be supported under 8.8sp4? right?

  • Quick Dumb Question

    I"m assuming when you upgrade from final cut express to final cut pro all your files and everything from express goes into final cut pro?? Correct? Also, what about imovie? Can you still import those files into final cut pro like you can with final cut express?

  • Quick dumb questions..

    Hi.. i was just wondering about how to output dollar amounts that have thousands serperators. Thanks.

    import java.text.*;
    import java.util.Locale;
    public class PrintNum {
      public static void main(String args[]) {
        // Amount to be formatted
        double amount = 400000.00;
        // Returns an object of type NumberFormat
        NumberFormat nf =
           NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);
        // Calls the format method on the NumberFormat object
        // to format the amount as desired and prints the
        // results to the screen
         System.out.println("He paid " +  nf.format(amount)
                               + " for the house.");
    Results in:
    He paid $400,000.00 for the house.

  • This is in the category of "dumb" questions. I am adding a new iMac running

         This is in the category of "dumb" questions. To my home office that includes
    a 2003 power pc G5 running system 10.4.11, I am adding a new iMac running
    Lion. Question - can you share files back and forth (e.g., a Word file, camera images) by simply
    coupling the two computers through USB ports? As opposed, for example, by burning
    a DVD and using that in the other computer.

    Why wouldn't you just use the network to share files, then?  Simply set up a folder on one of your systems (I would recommend the Lion system) for sharing, turn sharing on, and then connect to it from the other system.

  • Dumb question re video card

    I bought a radeon 9800 pro graphics card to upgrade my 64mb. stock card and before installing noticed that the new card has one DVI port and one VGA port. the box says it runs dual displays, right now I have dual CRTs running but want to run two flat panels soon.
    so the dumb question, can I convert the VGA to DVI with just a cheap adapter and run dual flats without buying an expensive converter for the second VGA port?

    Hi Prankster,
    you wont be able to get dual digital support from the 9800 ...sorry.
    Of course, you might be able to *physically connect* two digital flat panels to the card but one of the monitor connectors will be recieving an analog video input signal from this graphic card.
    To get true dual digital support from ATI you would need the 9600 or 9700 Pro graphic cards.
    Hope this helps !
    Cheers,
    Chris Chamberlain

  • Really dumb question re Quicktime Pro

    Good morning . .
    My Mac is running OS 10.4.9 and I have updated my Quicktime player to 7.3.1.
    Purchased Quicktime PRO, registered successfully but still only get Quicktime Player when opening the program. Any suggestions where to find QT Pro? Sorry for the dumb question but thanks for your help.
    Jon

    There is no separate QT Pro application. Successfully registering Pro enables Pro features already present in the Player. Items that previosly mentioned Pro should now just list the feature without mentioning Pro.

  • May be a dumb question...

    Just got the iphone and am excited and FRUSTRATED! I just read through some of the earlier posts about ringtones and a bug in being able to sinc...just successfully resolved or got around that problem.Now my dumb question is...I played a couple of tracks I downloaded but seem unable to stop the track...I can pause it but unable to stop it...please help me.
    Thank GOD for you guys.

    single touch the screen when a song is playing and some extra controls that let you pause/stop a song come up. it also shows a slider so you can drag your finger through a song to skip to the part you want to hear.
    also, depending on how your iphone is configured, try pressing the home button twice (i.e the rounded square button). if you click that twice, quickly, you may see control come up that let you pause/stop a song.
    check out the tutorials movies on the apple support site for lots of useful tips.

  • Obi 10g - pre run the reports by schedule?

    hi, experts,
    I have 2 questions on obi 10g
    1)
    the server cache is enabled.
    it is because the boss' time is expensive.
    he doesnt wanna wait for the refresh of reports
    are there any means to pre run the reports so that they can read the reports directly, no need to wait for the refresh time.
    2)
    If the a big set of data is already loaded.
    if users need to read the data from subset of the big set data, does OBIEE load subset data from the cache directly?
    or fire another sql to get the data again?
    thank you very much!

    Hi Stephen,
    the nqcmd.exe occupies all the cpu resources to display the resuilt on the command prompt.any ways to handle this case?If you have lot fo records this happens,If your doing this manually to re-build the cache write the SQL and add where condition so you can purge according to the where condition filter.....next again you change where condition and again purge it.
    2) run the nqcmd command to load the dataIn second point why are you loading date,you need to purge/delete data that is existing by using NQCMD command then chk NQquery.log
    I would say follow the steps exactly given in the blog mentioned above,then you get success (OR) in the same blog in comments there is user guide link check out
    If answered,award points.
    By,

  • CC Particle World

    Hello,
    I am having some issues with using CC Particle World. I can't seem to get the particles to appear on my screen. I move the timeline to get the particles to appear but nothing shows up.
    The 1st image is what I am trying to achieve and the second is my screen and what I am stuck on.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    WEll, you have a comp that's only 10 frames long Running at a meagre 1 fps. That's not going to be useful for any kind of physics-based simulation...

  • Re-Install Lost Plugins such as Particle World?

    Hi everyone, while deleting unwanted plugins and files from my computer, I accidentally deleted all the cycore plugins and effects, such as particle world, which all come with After Effects CS4. I was too dumb to go through my trash before I emptied it, and I fear the file may be lost. Is there any way I can get these files back?

    Only a full re-install will bring them back. There is no way to access and extract them separately.

  • Extremely dumb question

    Hi,
              This is really basics, but...
              Replicated JNDI is the most obvious answer to the following questions,
              but considering that bindings are removed on a failure of the host, it
              doesn't really work for failover.
              Let say I have a stateless bean that provides a description of the
              capabilities of a service implemented by the server application.
              Doesn't really matter. Importantly, it is not related to any
              particular session. A requirement states that the bean must not be
              created till the first request to functions it provides is issued. So,
              pre-instantiating it by the start-up classes is discouraged.
              Where should I keep the reference to the stub after the bean is
              created by the front-end servlet, so that it would survive failover
              and would be available to all the servers in a cluster? Servers are
              brought into the cluster dynamically over a period of time.
              A similar question. Let say a user object is an application-wide
              resource. Where do I keep it, so that it would survive a failover?
              Thanx
              Ed Gokhman
