Roll two Quicktime players at once?

Hi! I'm wondering if there is a way to cue two QuickTime players to roll at the same time... I would like to compare two videos side by side and how well they time and match. Its very hard when I have a 1/2 to 1 second delay because I have to roll one, and then the other... I can do this with other methods, but it would be really nice if I could just open both videos into Quicktime, and roll them together, quick and easy...
Thanks!

Awesome, thanks! Never realized it was right there in front of my face!
Ok, next issue... is it possible to link this across multiple computers?? Roll one clip from one laptop, another from another laptop, and have them run at the same time?

Can findText find two different objects at once?

I have written a script that finds all italicized words, then compares them to a character style that italicizes characters. If there are any italicized words that do not use the character style, the user is alerted.
Of course, not all fonts use a fontStyle that equals "Italic." Some use a fontStyle called "Oblique."
I was trying to figure out how the findText function could find two fontStyles at the same time. My solution was to realize that each find is an array. So I made two finds and the concatenated the arrays. The resultant array (here called myFoundItems) elements can be searched through to find any that do not have the correct character style applied.
My question is if the findText function can find more than two different objects at once or are we stuck with concatenating arrays?
Below is part of the script:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
initFindReplace(); [This function zeros out anything left in the find/change preferences]
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Italic";
var myFoundItems1 = myDoc.findText();
initFindReplace();
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Oblique";
var myFoundItems2 = myDoc.findText();
initFindReplace();
var myFoundItems = myFoundItems1.concat(myFoundItems2);
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
The reason why you end up with an array of arrays is this: you define an array allMyFoundItems, then you iteratively collect other arrays using findText and insert ("push") these arrays into allMyFoundItems. Instead, you should use concatenate:
var allMyFoundItems = new Array;
for (. . .
   var myFoundItems = myDoc.findText();
   allMyFoundItems = allMyFoundItems.concat (myFoundItems)
If you'll allow me a further comment, you could formulate your test to check whether a fontstyle name contains oblique or italic in one line:
>if (arrFontStyles[k].search (/(italic|oblique)/i) > -1)
And as the script searches but doesn't change anything, there's no need to set the ChangeTextPreferences. Your script could then be stated as follows:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var arrFontStyles = myDoc.fonts.everyItem().fontStyleName;
aa = findFontStyle (arrFontStyles);
function findFontStyle (arrFontStyles)
   var allMyFoundItems = new Array;
   var myFoundItems2 = new Array;
   app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
   for(var k = 0; k < arrFontStyles.length; k++)
      if (arrFontStyles[k].search (/(italic|oblique)/i) > -1)
         app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = arrFontStyles[k];
         var myFoundItems = myDoc.findText();
         allMyFoundItems = allMyFoundItems.concat (myFoundItems);
         }//end if
      }//end for k
   return allMyFoundItems;
   }//end findFontStyle function
As to formatting scripts in the forum, you can do this by wrapping your code in <pre> and </pre>. Also replace < with < (< causes all lines of code to be displayed on one line). You should also replace curly quotes with straight codes, and tabs with (non-breaking) spaces. I use the following script for that:
tf = app.documents.add().textFrames.add ({geometricBounds: [0,0,'700pt','500pt']})
tf.insertionPoints[0].select();
app.activeDocument.textPreferences.typographersQuotes = false;
app.paste();
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
sara (tf, '&', '&');
sara (tf, '<', '<');
sara (tf, '\\t', '   ');
sara (tf, "'", "'");
sara (tf, '"', '"');
tf.parentStory.insertionPoints[0].contents = '<pre>';
tf.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].contents = '</pre>';
function sara (tf, f, r)
   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = f;
   app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = r;
   tf.parentStory.changeGrep ()
Copy the text of the script you want to prepare for posting, then run this above script. It creates a new InDesign document, pastes your script into it, and makes all the necessary changes. Then copy that and paste it into the forum.

Correct. You don't use iTunes to get photos off the iPhone.

Unable to open two PDF's at once in Acrobat Reader 9.1.1

Hello:
We are having problems at the company I work at when trying to two PDF's at once. When the second one is opened, it reboots the computer. There are no errors showing in Event Viewer. There are no firewalls that would be causing this issue.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

Freezes whenever loading videos or two tabs open at once

if i have two tabs open at once, and try to watch a video it freezes up, or the screen at least. sometimes the video sound keeps playing but the window in frozen.
I have the new version of firefox, which i just downloaded.

See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved and [[Preferences are not saved]]
[[How to set the home page]]: Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.

Playing two midi files at once using threads?

Hi all, I have the following simple code here which plays a midi file, but I'm not sure how to use threads to play two midi files at once:
import org.jfugue.*;
import javax.sound.midi.*;
import java.io.*;
public class MidiPlayer {
public static void main (String [] args) {
try {
Player player = new Player();
player.playMidiDirectly(new File("C:\\Sounds\\bach.mid"));
} catch (IOException e) {
} catch (InvalidMidiDataException e) {
Is there a way to use a thread for this class so that in another class I can call 'start' twice and have the parameters be the midi file locations (e.g. "C:\\Sounds\\bach.mid" & "C:\\Sounds\\bach2.mid").
Any kind of help would be great, thank you!

Something like the below.
import org.jfugue.*;
import javax.sound.midi.*;
import java.io.*;
public class MidiPlayer {
public static void main (String [] args) {
String fileName = "c:\\Sounds\\bach.mid";
Thread t1 = new Thread(new MyRunable(fileName));
t1.start();
String fileName2 = "c:\\Sounds\\bach2.mid";
Thread t2 = new Thread(new MyRunable(fileName2));
t2.start();
} // main
class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
private String fileName
public MyRunnable( String fileName) {
this.fileName = fileName;
   public void run() {
     Player player = new Player();
    player.playMidiDirectly(new File(fileName));
} // MyRunnable
} //

How to have two documents open at once?

Hi all,
How do you have two open documents at once? For example, let's say I have two English essays due tomorrow that I've already worked on. Is there any way to open both documents and work on them simultaneously? Right now I can only work on one. Thanks!

Hi Matt,
You can open more than document. Drag a document window by one edge or corner to resize if necessary, then drag the whole window by its title bar to one side of the screen. You should now be able to see the other document. Move that window beside the first.
You can switch between them by clicking on the one you want to be active.
Regards,
Ian.

How to use two Mac SuperDrives at once

Can you burn two blank CDs at once? Import two CDs at once?
I was searching the forums about and read something about a program called Toast and if you duplicate it you can use two SuperDrives at once. Where would I download toast and how would I duplicate it?
It possible to use more than two? (Not planning to do this just wondering)

I tried two dvd players,one freezes still,the other ok,Why?

I made a dvd with photshop/premiere 7.All still pictures with some music.I tried the dvd on two sony players.One works great.The other will freeze frame at same still.Why?

Ok... some thoughts
Since you ask in the Encore forum, I will presume you created the DVD with Encore... which does, by design, create "legal" discs that are "supposed" to play
But... as I said, no player is required to work with a burned disc
Go to http://www.imgburn.com/ and scroll down to the link for the FREE version, now at 2.5
Tell Encore to create an ISO on your hard drive and use Imgburn to burn to disk... at the SLOWEST setting possible
As far as the 2 Sony models... I can only GUESS that the newer model has more built-in DRM "crapware" that is getting in the way of playing a burned disc

Two Quicktime Broadcasters from one DV camera

i have one DV camera source and two intel iMacs ~ i want to send the same h.264 video stream to two servers using quicktime broadcaster.
i presume you can't just turn a firewire hub around and split the signal ~ is there another way to do this?
Mac OS X (10.4.6) DV camera, firewire, iMac, quicktime broadcaster

i presume you can't just turn a firewire hub around and split the signal
Actually you can. A Firewire hub has no "direction"; it just provides a data stream coming in any port to all the others. I haven't tried to split a camera signal for QuickTime Broadcaster, but I did once do it directly to a couple of computers with other software, just for a test, and it worked just fine.
So give it a go; you'll probably find that it will work.

HT1311 Can I have two ITunes accounts at once. For example one for Canada and the other for France?

Would someone be able to tell me if I can maintain two I tunes accounts at once. We like to downloads movies from the French Itunes movie site but would also like to keep at the same time our Canadian account. I'm not to keen on having to cancel one account in order to access another.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't keep changing accounts in iTunes, you will need to wait 90 days after changing once. You would need to use two computers or use two user accounts.

How can I start two FF instances under two Windows accounts at once w/o -no-remote? I need to be able to send URLs to them.

I have one FF (36.0) installation and two Windows user accounts: one for work (w/o internet access but with access to domain resources like JIRA) and one for internet access (w/o access to local resources). I need two instances of FF running at the same time with different resources.
I've created profiles with different names under both accounts and specify profile names using -p parameter. However when I try to start both instances of FF (second one is started via RUNAS), second instance can't be started, new tab in already running instance is opened instead:
firefox.exe -p profile
runas.exe /profile /savecred /user:user_i "\"firefox.exe\" -p profile_i"
When I start one of them with -no-profile, I can start both at once... but when I try to execute firefox.exe with an URL in order to open a tab with this URL in one of running instances (local URLs I open by starting firefox.exe under work account and remote URLs I open by starting FF via RUNAS), it can't sent URL to already running instance of same user, it always sends URLs to an instance that is runnung w/o -no-remote.
firefox.exe -p profile -url "url"
runas.exe /profile /savecred /user:user_i "\"firefox.exe\" -p profile_i -url \"url\""
So, I need to have two instances under two different Windows user accounts, and when firefox.exe is started again, it should only communicate with instance that is running under same user account, it must not communicate with instance that is running under different Windows account.

Can a PDF file in landscape mode have two pages open at once

I notice when I use ibooks to read a pdf document on my ipad that in normal mode it woks just like a book with one page open, but when I turn to landscape mode, the document just greatly reduces in size, and centers on the screen, where as a book opens two pages side by side, that still turn like a normal book. Is there any way or app that will allow a PDF document to act like a book does in landscape mode, where two pages are open at once side by side and still a decent size. I know it will have to be smaller than it would be in regular mode, but a book works great in Landscape mode.

Get a free DropBox account.
Drag the files into DropBox and you can get a link to send to your friend to download.
Another option with DropBox is to use a Shared folder. If you share files a lot with your friend, setup a Shared folder and everything in the folder will be shared. Obviously they also need to setup a free DropBox account (works on Windows). Just keep the folder size under the 2GB free limit.
For the future... OS X Yosemite Mail coming this fall, will offer a way to share files like DropBox.
Mail Drop allows you to attach large files via iCloud.
Attachments can be up to 5GB in size. -new feature in OS X 10.10 Yosemite Mail
