Quick help needed (putting text on a .mov)

OK, I have never used this program before and I am looking for a quick solution:
After importing a film in .mov format the text looks fuzzy and awful. The text is simply white on a black background. The whole film has been imported and shows up as one clip.
Can I make a still picture in Photoshop with the text and put it on top of the part with the fuzzy text in iMovie? How would I go about that? Is there another way to put clean looking text over the old fuzzy one?
Thanks in advance for any help!

If the text track was created using QuickTime Pro and then converted to "video" the results will vary greatly and the quality will never be the same as the QuickTime version.
QuickTime text tracks are vector graphics (scale without distortion) and they look clear, clean and crisp.
But when you "convert" them to "video" they not only lose the vector graphics but get rendered with some ugly results.
Many QuickTime users are not aware that text tracks can even be converted to "video" format.
I started with a Karaoke style QuickTime file with MIDI instruments:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/blackbird_text.qtl
Then I converted it to "video" and added a varying color background to show the quality degradation:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/blackbird.qtl
The MIDI audio was also converted to AAC audio which balloons the file size from 9 KB's to nearly 4 MB's.
Basic results?
Don't convert text to video.
Add text tracks after export from iMovie using QuickTime Pro if the files will be viewed on a computer or served from the Web:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/Lemon_Trees/
As an example.

Quick help needed on reversing the Journals

Hi Gurus
While importing the data from the GL_INTERFACE the REFERENCE_21 …. REFERENCE _30 are moved to REFERENCE_1 through REFERENCE_10 in the GL_JE_LINES table and the GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES table..
When reversing a posted entry all the 10 reference fields(REFERENCE_1 through REFERENCE_10) are not copied into the new reversed GL line. Only REFERENCE _2, REFERENCE _3 and REFERENCE _5 are copied in GL_JE_LINES table.
Is there any setup, which allows the JE reversal to populate all the reference fields in the reversed line in GL_JE_LINES table?
Any quick help is appreciated.
Thanks
Isaac

Help needed using CSS positioning for movie/text

I have been deconstructing a few sites to get a better
understanding of CSS for a simple portfolio.
Anyway, I have a simple navigation set up in place which I
want to place my movie next to. The problem is that I can't work
out how to place it next to the buttons...
The url to the site is:
http://www.notjustthenews.co.uk/page8.html
Once I've done that I want to place a paragraph of text to
the right of the movie so that if you resize the browser window the
text wraps around the movie.
Any help would be most appreciated.
The CSS is question is:
#wrapper{
float:right;
width: 75%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 3% 0 0;
#widescreen {
float: left;
padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px;
margin: 0 5px 5px 0;

Not sure what the web forum and the news forum does with code
these days
but here is the complete coding/css that you need. (That's if
it
transfer ok)

Help needed saving text members to TAB delimited txt file

I have 7 text memebrs each containing several lines of text
that were pulled in and sorted from a TAB delimited text file.
What I'd like to know is, is there any way to convert those
text members back into the TAB delimited format from which they
came? I'd like to be able to pull in the data, let it be edited to
some extent, then saved back out..... and I'm not too sure how to
go about it.
Example of txt file:
ID_No Name Age
1 Phil 26
2 Sam 34
3 Mary 21
They're then sorted in to text files of ID_No, Name, and Age,
with the lists of the relevent items in each.
Like.....
ID_No
1
2
3
Name
Phil
Sam
Mary
Age
26
34
21
Certain lines of these text members change, depending on what
the user selects. I'd like to put these sections back in their
original TAB delimited format, but with any changed data replacing
the old, so next ime the app is opened the new data is pulled in
from the txt file.
I know I'm probably going about this the wrong way, but it's
the only way I know so far lol
Any ideas?

global filex, idlst, namelst, agelst
on readtabline (str)
tmpstr = ""
y = 1
repeat with x = 1 to the number of chars in str do
if str.char[x] = tab then
case y of
1 : idlst.add (tmpstr)
2 : namelst.add (tmpstr)
3 : agelst.add (tmpstr)
end case
tmpstr = ""
y = y + 1
else
tmpstr = tmpstr & str.char[x]
end if
end repeat
agelst.add (tmpstr)
end
on exitFrame me
idlst = [] --set up some lists to hold that data we read in
namelst = []
agelst = []
filex = new (xtra "fileio")
filex.openfile ("t.txt", 1)
indata = filex.readfile() -- read the data in
filex.closefile()
filex = void
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in indata do
readtabline(indata.line[x]) --seprate it into its diffrent
elements
end repeat
-- you now have your data sorted in to three list of id, age
and name
-- so you would now do what ever editing you wanted to do
--now to write it out to a new file
filex = new (xtra "fileio")
filex.createfile (the moviepath & "tout.txt")
filex.openfile (the moviepath & "tout.txt", 2)
repeat with x = 1 to idlst.count() do
filex.writestring (idlst[x] & tab & namelst[x] &
tab & agelst[x] & return)
end repeat
filex.closefile()
end
I tested this on your exact scenario and it worked a brezze
hope it helps
Regards

Delta Missing quick help needed

Hi,
Yesterday we have upgaraded the R/3 4.6C to ECC. Upgrade was succesful.
After upgrade without changing the delta setting of the datasource, we loaded the data into R/3 from legacy system. Then BW did not find any delta data, it is bringing 0 records to BW.
How to enable last load as again delta in R/3 and Is there any possibilities to recall the entire data which was posted last day?
Quick answer will be helpful.
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
in general you should always empty all delta tables for doing an upgrade on the source system. Chances are high that the extract structure and with that those tables (mainly LO-extracts) will change and wont be accessible anymore.
You could try to delete that day from your ODS and try a full repair update with the appropriate data. You need to make sure that the other deltas dont delive those again afterwards.

Help needed on text variable.

Hi experts,
I have to write a report that requires text variable.
My scenario is as follows:
1. User have to key in posting period into variable 0P_PER3.
2. The text variable has to translate posting period into calendar month. However, since I am not using K4 fiscal year variant, this cannot be done directly. I use V3 fiscal year variant, which means:
Posting Period 01 = April
Posting Period 02 = May
Posting Period 03 = June
Posting Period 04 = July
Posting Period 05 = August
Posting Period 06 = September
Posting Period 07 = October
Posting Period 12 = March.
So, let say the user key in posting period 12; in my report, the text variable must displays 'March'.
Is there any standard variable that I can use to achieve above goal? If not, how can I create such a variable?
Many thanks!

Hi,
first of all you create 12 customer exit text variable.
then go to SMOD tcode.
give RSR00001 as project name
select component and click on display.
then double click on EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001
then double click on zxrsru01 include.
in the code window write down below code for each of your text variable.
case i_vname.
    when 'YOURFIRSTTEXTVARIABLENAME'.
        if i_step = 2.
          read table i_t_var_range into loc_var_range
          with key vnam = 'YOURPERIODVARIABLENAME'.
          case loc_var_range-low+58(2).
            when '01'.
              l_s_range-low = 'YOURMONTHNAME'. "e.g. March
             when '02'.
like this write for 12 periods.
          endcase.
          l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
          l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        endif.
hope this helps.

Some quick help needed with certificates and split brain dns.

I run exch 2010 and have one cas server(srv03). I have split brain dns configured and working in my system. I got a new certificate this year because of the new regulations that won't allow .internal names in the san portion of an ssl cert.
I have followed several tids on the internet and still when I tried to implement it today the outlook clients started getting a popup that says [the name on the certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site] At the top of this popup
is srv03.abccorp.internal which is what it was before.
The certificate is for mail.abccorp.com and also includes autodiscover.abccorp.com and srv03.abccorp.com.
When I run [Get-clientAccessServer | fl Name,AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri] the name and the Url is correct and has the .com value.
When I run the test email autoconfiguration from my Outlook icon, and look at the log, Autodiscover URL found through SCP, is correct and it says Succeeded at the end. In the results tab however the Server, Availability Service, OOF URL are still showing
the .internal instead of .com. The Internal OWA, External OWA and the OAB are correctly displaying the .com. What commands do I need to run to change these as they seem to be the problem.
I wasted a lot of time chasing the autodiscover before I found out about this test in outlook and realized the autodiscover url was correct. :-)
I have two days left on my old cert that has both .com and .internal SANs so I rolled that back into service so the users stop getting messages. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi OTS,
You can run the following command to Change the InternalUrl attribute of the EWS:
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "CAS_Server_Name\EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.abccorp.com/ews/exchange.asmx

OIM-OID! provisioning users to OID groups-QUICK HELP NEEDED

hi,
I've installed OIM connected to OID.
I've been assign some tasks:
1) Creating access policy such that when a user is created in OIM, he is provisioned to two groups in OID.... ie. in cn=users and cn=employees (where cn=employess is the group i create under cn=Groups,dc=ad,dc=company,dc=com)
2)Creating an access policy such that when a user is created in OIM, he is provisioned to two additional groups in OID, say I've created two custom groups in OIM and attached membership rules to them. Now when i create a user satisfying the two membership rule,he is assigned to those two OIM groups and provisioned to cn=users,dc=ad,dc=company,dc=com and cn=group1,cn=Groups,dc=ad,dc=company,dc=com and cn=group2,dc=ad,dc=company,dc=com.
Also i want to populate those OID groups into a child table and create their lookups in Process form
Please help me materialise and understand these concepts.
The OID Lookup Recon task for group is running fine, lookup.oid.group is populated with values.
how those groups can be populated in process form child table(OID user group table).
Edited by: Chhavi Saluja on Feb 12, 2010 12:51 AM

As mentioned in my other post you can put these groups in access policy form and all the users assigned by this policy will get these groups. Any issue revert back.

Putting text in my movies

I know about the whole titles deal, but I was wondering if there was a way to have, say, instead of a movie clip playing to just have a few slides full of text, which are created within iMovie. Not just a title but a whole paragraph, like the 'music video' title but centred on the image.
Writing in a black box in Pages and then taking a screenshot for each slide gets tiresome after a while, you see.
Thanks in advance

Dewdars,
Welcome to the discussions.
Here's one way to create your block of text.
Enter your text using the Scrolling Block Title and add it to your timeline.
Now place your playhead at a point where your text is all nicely centered on the screen and choose Edit>Create Still Frame.
Now you have a 5 second clip of your text. Double click on it and you can adjust it's duration.
Another option is to look at third party plugins. Fore example, Gee Thee offers Place Text as part of their Slick 5 set of plugins.

Help needed to detect end of movie

I am using loadMovie to play an external SWF file in my main
movie. How can I detect when the loaded movie has ended so I can
move onto the next frame?
Thx

Hi Krishna,
From any Transaction, use menupath System > Status... The click on the "magnifying glass" icon just below the "Component Version" field - that will open another dialog screen with the Support Package Level for Installed Software Components.
Find the entry for component SLL-LEG - that's the GTS system. Up to 8, the versioning is quite obvious, but release 900 is actually GTS 10.0, and 901 is GTS 10.1.
Hope that works ok for you.
Regards,
Dave
