Re-using a sequence, effect, etc.

I know this is probably a simple task, but I could use the help...
Let's say I have an effect I especially like and I have used it in a sequence - how can I use that section of the sequence elsewhere in another project?
Same question goes for when I have my "signature ending" that I want for each video...
How fo you guys do this? Do you have a sequence that you have all of your "template" effects and or sections of a sequnce in from which you cut and paste? Is this possible? Is there an easier way?
Thank in advance for your help.

Another thought:
If you create a complex sequence in Project A that you may want to use later on:
Save Project A's file
In Project B, open Project A. Go to the effects Sequence and pull that into B's Browser. You will have a sequence without any Media connected but all your effects, motion refs. Take your new clips and paste them into that old sequence .. remembering to copy and paste attributes for each clip as required. Save new version of Proj B. You can jettison A, render B .. and bob's your uncle

  • Motion Keyframes not working/Ken Burns effect etc

    Hi,
    Have had some good advice relating to my previous issue with motion control/ken burns effect etc... but followed all advice from all parties and still no success. I cannot seem to lay down any motion key frame to set a parameter at the start of a clip. Could I have done something/touched something on the keyboard that has resulted in this? Anyone had this problem before? Suggestions welcome.

    Try now this procedure; this is slightly different from the suggestions you had in your previous posts (that BTW work perfectly with me), but should still get you to what you want.
    I assume you want to zoom in an image from 100% to 120%, but the same procedure may be applied to any Motiom parameter.
    - move the imported image from the browser to the timeline; now you have a new clip in the timeline with the imported image
    - open this new clip *from the timeline in the viewer*; a way to do this is to double click the clip in the timeline (make sure you are using the Selection tool (a) to double click); now you see the image in the viewer. Make sure the viewer scrub bar is dotted: this means that what you see in the viewer is actually coming from the timeline and not the browser!
    - now select the Motion Tab in the viewer: you are going to set your keyframes there
    - move the playhead in the Motion tab to the point where you want the zoom to begin (you'll see the selected image also in the canvas, since the playheads in the canvas and timeline automatically follow that in the viewer); then click the grey diamond between the numeric and the graphic part of the Scale control. This creates the first Scale keyframe with the default value of 100% (and the small diamond is now green, meaning a keyframe is set in that position)
    - now move the playhead in the viewer to the position where you want the end of the zoom; again click on the same diamond as above to set a keyframe in the new position, and change the value of the Scale to 120%. The graph on the right now changes to show a slope up from the first to the second keyframe.
    If you follow this exact sequence you should be able to get what you want, and with minor variations you may apply also keyframes to any other Motion control, at the same or at different positions.
    I hope this finally solves your problem...

  • How do I export an animation from Photoshop with no background, to use in after effects?

    Its been a few years since I've used photoshop and after effects together so hoping you can remind me how to do this.
    I'm trying to export an animation created in photohop, its frame by frame, no background. I've been exporting it as an image sequence, now I"ve coloured it I need to solve this transparency issue.
    Is there a way to export it to use in after effects on top of a background layer.
    So I just want to see the character, no background, animation on top of my background layer in after effects, does that make sense??
    Please don't say I need to have an alpha channel on each frame, that will take ages, there must be another way.
    Please help I need to sort this ASAP
    Thanks in advance!
    x

    Thanks!
    So this makes sense, I tried it, when I import into after effects (here is the psd.)
    I get this window not sure what to be selecting, but I tried different things and it still isn't importanting as literally the animation with no background, have I missed something? whats strange is that when I import the psd, what does import is a strange monatage of snippets of the video I'm making in afterfx, not the completely separate animation i made in photoshop which I'm trying to work into the video.
    very perplexing! any more help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • ODI 10G Using ODI sequences row by row

    Hi everyone,
    I have source as FILE system(All_files.txt) it has just one column :example1.txt,example2.txt etc..
    My source table like this:
    FLAT_FILE(FILE):
    FILE_NAME String(100)
    TARGET(Oracle)----->HR.TMP_ALL_FILES
    FILE_NAME(:FILE_NAME(VARCHAR2 100))
    LOAD_ID(NUMBER)-->ODI_SEQ_NEXTVAL
    CRE_DT(SYSDATE)
    Now I am using odi seq is called ODI_SEQ that I mapped into LOAD_ID.But I want to get row by row sequences like:1,2,3,4.....
    My target must be like this:
    example1.txt 1 sysdate
    example2.txt 2 sysdate
    example3.txt 3 sydate.
    How Can ı get row by row using ODI sequence?
    Edited by: aetl on Dec 17, 2012 12:30 AM

    Hi aetl,
    I might be wrong but I think that if you use a set-based IKM (like IKM SQL Control Append), the value will only change for the next set.
    You can use an Oracle Sequence instead, this will change row-by-row.

  • I created an album and have been showing it presentation style, ken burns effects etc. Now every time I try to re-run it it starts from the end, last picture first! Can't seem to be able to reverse it. Any clue anyone?

    I created an album and have been showing it presentation style, ken burns effects etc. Now every time I try to re-run it it starts from the end, last picture first! Can't seem to be able to reverse it. Any clue anyone?

    First try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset iPhoto's preferences and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    Next, if necessary, continue with the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?

    How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?Hello everyone,
    That's my situation.
    I have Sound Blaster X-Fi Go sound card and I am using SRS HD Audio Lab. SRS HD Audio Lab was selected as the default audio device and X-Fi effects (X-Fi CMSS-3d, Equalizer etc.) was working without any problem in Windows Xp. I have Windows 7 now and when i select SRS HD Audio Lab as the default device, Creative effects are not working, i must select "SB X-Fi Go!" to get them working but i can't use SRS HD Audio Lab in that case. SRS is also using SB X-Fi Go sound card as the output and volume adjustment on console launcher is working but something is disabling the effects. Any solutions to enable effects ?
    Thanks.

    If the kernel modules for your sound card and webcam both support the index parameter (use modinfo to find out) then adding
    options <name_of_preferred_card's_kernel_module> index=0
    options <name_of_second_card's_kernel_module> index=1
    to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (or another modprobe conf file of your choice) should solve the problem.

  • Exporting from PPro CC - Exporting using Match Sequence Settings issue with 24 bit audio

    I am having an issue exporting my sequence which contains final AIFF mix (24 bit 48 kHz) into a 'same-as-source' ProRes 422 file with 24 bit audio. I am specifically trying to export media with 'Match Sequence Settings' checked to create an identical output of what my sequence is. I wind up only creating a PR422 with 16 bit audio rather than 24 bit audio.
    My sequence contains ProRes 422 media and 24 bit AIFF final stereo mix (1 audio file) from our Sound department.
    My sequence is currently setup as "Custom" at 1920x1080, 23.976 fps, Square Pixels, Progressive, etc. Audio is 48 kHz (I don't see an option for choosing different bit rates in the 'Sequence Settings').
    Using 'Match Sequence Settings', my options to alter the audio are "greyed out" and unavailable. I'm not sure why 'Match Sequence Settings' doesn't recognize that I am cutting with 24 bit audio and, instead, only exports 16 bit audio.

    Always skip Match Sequence Settings and set up the export manually.

  • Will upgrading to OS X Maverics require me to reinstall any third party softwar i.e photoshop, after effects etc.

    Will upgrading to OS X Maverics require me to reinstall any third party softwar i.e photoshop, after effects etc.

    Wait for testing.
    Do your own testing. Clone your system first.
    Do a clean install of 10.9 on another drive and then use that with Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant if you want.
    I would not update over the old system - at least not w/o a safety backup net to catch you.
    There are always a couple things that need fixing. And it may be that they won't know until they have the final bits and do their own inhouse testing now that they have the actual release version.

    2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share
    --break--
    So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
    So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
    The MINI is for the wife.
    But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
    When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
    Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
    thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

    Hello Aidan,
    Here is the statement from the Terms and Conditions of the iTunes Store:
    "You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use."
    We do not give legal advice on this Forum, but I think the statement is pretty clear.

  • How to use parallel sequence for split the operation qty. urgent or other o

    PP guru
    My scenario is as follows.
    I ve one material suppose…xyz.
    For that material I' ve created bom, routing.
    In routing I' ve mention only one operation. 0010.
    Now I' ve the production order of 1000 kg.
    I want to use two work centers to run this production order. ( e.g.work center a and b)
    In routing I used work center a.
    In short I want split that operation.
    So what I ve to do or use parallel sequence and how???
    or else is there any other option to split the order to two or more machines/work center?
    Pls explain me in brief.
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hi,
      If you want to carry the production with two different work centers , first you need to split the operation qty.
    For this in the order type dependent parameters OPL8
    in the controlling tab page enable the indicator Cost collector
    and set the default rule as PP2.
      Create a Product cost collector with KKF6N.
       Now in the production order , select the operation and choose functions--->>> split.
       Now enter the operation split quantity and execute.
       Now in MD04 you can see two production order.
       In the second production order change the work center in the operation overview as desired and save.

  • Use a sequence template multiple times in same project

    I have created a lower-third animated title and saved it as a sequence as it has sound. What I'm confused about it how I import that sequence and use it multiple times in the same project and change the content of the title for each sequence. If I import the sequence and change the title in one instance, it changes the title of all instances. I would like to use the sequence and be able to change each title. I have even tried copying sequences and renaming them but any editing still seems to affect the parent sequence file.
    I know this must be really simple but I'm going round in circles here. Any pointers appreciated.

    Take a look at this thread:
    style sheets for titles?
    I'm not sure if an AFX Live text will bring over the audio, it is not something I have tried.

  • Is there a way to enforce the use of sequences

    is there a way to stop someone from inserting an id without using the sequence?
    CREATE SEQUENCE id_seq
       START WITH 1;
    CREATE TABLE test_table (id_seq NUMBER (4) PRIMARY KEY);
    INSERT INTO test_table
         VALUES (id_seq.NEXTVAL);
    INSERT INTO test_table
         VALUES (2);
    INSERT INTO test_table
         VALUES (id_seq.NEXTVAL);gives us
    ORA-00001: unique constraint (DSAMSTRC.SYS_C0091648) violated
    as it should
    however is there a check constraint of some ilk that ensures that the user is using the sequence when doing inserts?
    so that the second insert
    INSERT INTO test_table
         VALUES (2);gives me some sort of check constraint violation that I'm not using the id_seq.NEXTVAL ?

    Justin:
    One minor problem with your trigger. If the "bad" insert is the first thing done in the session you get:
    SQL> insert into test_table values(25);
    insert into test_table values(25)
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-08002: sequence ID_SEQ.CURRVAL is not yet defined in this session

    ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'OPS$ORACLE.TRG_TEST_TABLE'If you want to raise an exception instead of just silently using the sequence as Frank suggests you need something more like:
    create trigger trg_test_table
       before insert on test_table
       for each row
    declare
       l_currval integer;
       no_currval exception;
       PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (no_currval, -8002);
    begin
       select id_seq.currval
       into l_currval

    Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck  is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded. 
    You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
    I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.
