Sequence replicator sizing question

Imagine a piece of barbed wire that starts out in the background and draws itself as it moves toward the foreground and then toward the background again. I've got everything working except for the size of the barbs themselves. Basically I can't figure out how to make a replicated object get larger and than smaller again. Oh, and they need to remain the size that they're initially drawn at, not changing over time.
Can anyone give me a hint as to what to do?

Thanks Mark.
The problem is I created this using an open Shape for the base wire and I'm applying the barbs using the geometry of that shape as my Shape Source. So origin isn't an option. I tried the Scale End idea but that doesn't work because I want them to go from small to large and then small again. I'm faking the 3D effect because I want the wire to wrap around some text.
But thank you for trying. Any other suggestions?

Sequence replicator bug : when source image has "colorize"

I ran into this funky thing today. Easy to repeat:
1: take any simple image as your source - I imported a small image from photoshop (a PNG).
2: Colorize it
3: Replicate it.
4: Add a sequence replicator - I added a scale sequence from 0% TO 100%.
Replicator only colorizes the image for a few frames as it scales up, then it drops the filter completely.
Anyone else getting this? I'll use the "feedback" page to report this.

Nope. Works fine for me. But let me ask you this:
Does your colorize filter last as long as the sequence replicator? If you have a short image, say 3 seconds long with a 3 sec long colorize filter on it and you replicate that, the color will be obeyed in the replicator for only as long as the filter exists on the original image.
Therefore, if you want the color to remain for the length of the sequence replicator, then you have to lengthen the colorize filter to the same length as the sequence replicator.

Midi triggering of sequence replicator

Can I trigger a sequence replicator through midi?

Not quite what I meant.
It's not a parameter I want to trigger.
It's the whole sequence.
I have a sequence replicator
and I want to start it (and run through once)
each time a certain key is pressed.

HELP : Buggy "Sequence Replicator" ???

someone please help me find out if it's ME or if there's a bug with sequence replicator.
1: I replicate an object... ANY object
2: Replicate it so it's not a rectangle, but an image (any image is fine... maybe make a shape and drop it in the well
3: Do a random fill so the object you're replicating is in a bunch of random places.
GOOD? Good...
NOW, apply the sequence replicator so it goes FROM a scale of 0%. basically I want to GROW all the objects in a random fill.
For me, it doesn't work. It sort of grows the left or right half partially, then stops. This has been messed up for a BUNCH of different projects. Does everyone agree???
If this works for you, do I maybe need to reinstall???

Sorry Adam, but it worked for me.
I created a shape and replicated it. Changed the Shape parameter to Image, and the Arrangement to Random Fill. Put the points up to 18.
Applied the Sequence Replicator. Added Scale to it.
Set the scale to 0, and changed the Sequencing to From.
Changed the Unit Size to All.
This worked. Perhaps you didn't change the Unit Size to All? When set to Object, the replicator seems to act as you posted, unless you crank the spread up. This is not a bug, but rather the way it's designed so you can choose which replicated objects are affected (in case that's what you wanted). Since you wanted to affect all your objects, you must change the Unit Size to All so that the Sequence Replicator affects everything simultaneously.

Export Self-Contained / Sequence / Aspect Ratio Question

Hello all,
I have source clips, that look like this, with a command+I in quicktime:
Format: 24-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
DVCPRO HD 1080i60, 1280 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions
FPS: 23.98
Normal Size: 1888 x 1062 pixels
Current Size: 1888 x 1062 pixels (Actual)
Now, in FCP, I have to chop this source up into smaller clips, so as I set in and out points, I drag to my sequence, and let FCP adjust the sequence settings to match the clip. It auto-adjusts to:
Frame Size: 1280x1080
Aspect Ratio: HD (1280x1080) (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1280x1080)
Compressor: DVCPRO HD 1080i60
Audio: 48khz, 24-bit, Channel Grouped
When I export my clip, I want little/no processing of the source file, and want the aspect ratio to be locked at the highest quality possible, with no funky pixel aspects ratios, etc. So, I export a Quicktime Movie (no Quicktime conversion) with "Current Settings", and I make the clip self contained.
The output ends up as follows:
Format: DVCPRO HD 1080i60, 1280 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions
24-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
FPS: 23.98
Normal Size: 1920 x 1080 pixels
Current Size: 1920 x 1080 pixels (Actual)
So, obviously the pixel aspect ratio has done something in the export, as the original size was 1888 x 1062 and is now 1920 x 1080.
Is there a way to process these clips on export from FCP, where the pixel is a normal 1:1 conversion, be it at 1280x1080, 1888x1062 or 1920x1080 with DVCPRO HD 1080i60, in FCP? Or is this something I have to achieve in Compressor? I'm looking for the Quicktime info on the resulting clip to return the same size for: Format, Normal Size, Current Size.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I have read this post over and over and there are some strange things going on with analyzing media now. I am absolutely sure that my HD footage (from a Z1U) used to be read by QT at 1440x1080 (1920x1080). Actual pixels were 1440x1080, a 4x3 aspect ratio, but displayed at 1920x1080. Used to be, like I said. I recently upgraded to OS 10.6.4, and QT 10 is quite a bit different. (In fact, other that the new skin, I haven't found any new features I like. Beside the point.) Now I get a QT readout like yours: 1440x1080 (1888x1062). A 4x3 capture aspect ratio and a 16x9 display aspect ratio, but not the same numbers. This can't be right--by law one of them has to be incorrect. I suspect the new version of QT. The same clip in FCP is read as as 1440x1080 with the HDV pixel aspect ratio (Edit --> Item Properties --> Format.) Furthermore, the readout from MediInfo Mac (endorsed by Apple) is even stranger: 1416x1062, a 4x3 aspect ratio, betraying yet another suspect data output. May be MediaInfo is correct, maybe not. I suspect no--my gut says FCP is correct, since it was once matched by QT. So, three analyzations and three results. The only conclusion is one or more of the analyzers is incorrect.
I suspect that the data readout in QT 10 is questionable. According to the Z1U manual, the camera records at 1440x1080, QT and FCP have this correct, but MediaInfo Mac does not. But the display raster information, as read by QT 10, has changed from 1920x1080 to 1888x1062.
So, I did a test. I followed the same procedure you did, including letting FCP set the Sequence Settings (it was correct). The QT 10 data readout from the exported movie was, like yours, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062). Same results when I forced the Sequence Settings to HDV 1060i first. [FCP 6.0.6, QT 10.0 (114) ]. This was consistent with the QT 10 readout for the original, raw media.
My conclusion? Your movie is fine, there was no Pixel Aspect Ratio manipulation. The data readout in QT 10 is wrong. Sounds like a bug to me. I'd say MediaInfo Mac also has a problem--maybe they are both "drinking from the same poisoned well" somewhere deep inside the code.
Last resort: if you have access to an older version of QT, try getting the readout from that. I'm going to. If you'd like to know the results, let me know.
One thing you must do: check the Pixel Aspect Ratio in your edited sequence:
[Sequence --> Settings --> General --> Pixel Aspect Ratio]
Make sure yours is set to HD (1280x1080). Actually, check your camera manual to determine what it should be and make sure FCP is matching it. If not, force it.

Real-Time Sequencer Feedback and Questions

Post your questions and feedback to the Real-Time Sequencer Architecture and Real-Time Sequencer Architecture Example here.

I just purchased the USB 6341 DAQ card. I am using Dev1/.Port1 to control 4 driver transistors. The transistors fire 4 SSR. I am trying to create a sequence for the 4 transistors. Sometimes a test unit that is driven by a SSR will fail. So I have to change the sequence for the failed DUT.
Basically each SSR will be ON for 6 seconds. There will be a delay of about 5.75 seconds for the next valve to fire. The delay is used to balance the pressure testing. The second valve will need to start at 5.75 seconds later. Basically the two valves must cross at the 50 % turn OFF. How can I perform this task. There are at least 7 different test sequences??
Thanks,

Photoshop sequences not sized appropriately when dragging to main sequence

I am working with photoshop layers in a sequence, which I am bringing into the main sequence. When I size them in the viewer and apply wireframe motion to them, they play just fine (and look fine) in that sub-sequence.
When I move that sequence from the viewer into the main sequence, they are totally oversized. I have configured each window (viewed and canvas) "fit to window". They move off the window in the main sequence but in the photoshop sequence, they are sized properly.
I have tried resizing them in the main sequence but it doesn't seem to work unless you resize in the sub-sequence first.
Please help....I have been pulling out my hair on this and even set up a ProCare with the local Apple FCE expert. They couldn't help.
Thanks!

You didn't say but I'm assuming you're working in DV NTSC.
Your PSD sequence is much larger, and the wrong aspect ratio, compared to your video. It bears no resemblance to it. You're make a very large sequences, making your animation in it, and placing in inside a much smaller sequence. The two don't match at all. Fit to window is not relevant. The PSD window is based on an image 1150x1718, and that's the Canvas the PSD sequence uses. Your edited sequence is 720X480 and that's its Canvas size. Fit to window just means make the Canvas display fit the size of the window you've create for it in the application. It doe not scale the images to fit the Canvas.
I don't know exactly what you're doing, but it would be easier for you if you made the images the right size in Photoshop to start with. Or you could copy and paste from inside the PSD sequence into the edited sequence, which will automatically scale the material to fit the window, and you can animate the layers in the edited sequence. This may or may not work for you depending on your material.

BW-SEM hardware sizing question

Hi all, please help me with sizing process
Now I'm doing sizing of the big BW-SEM system.
I'm using quicksizer and document "Sizing ASAP FOR BW ACCELERATOR" (https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001951182003)
There is such phrase: "In a comparison of SAP BW benchmark results with SD benchmark results we have obtained a factor of 2.28" (page 11)
what type of SAPS I obtain from quicksizer - SD or BW?
So, should I result from quicksizer tool multiple by 2,28?
Are there any official documents for this question?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards, Elena

Hi;
Currently our current 11.5.10 Production is running on a Two node architecture on HP-Unix PA-RISC with the 128 GB of RAM on the Application Server and 256 GB RAM on the DB Node.
For R12 the servers will be on HP-Unix Itanium and the sizing has been factored as 128 GB for the Application server and the DB will be on RAC with 128 GB of RAM each on the DB Nodes.
I want to know is the sizing correct?
When sizing a RAC Env is it ok to just split the current configuration into two and size the same on two nodes?
Please share your experiences.We do not know how your machine has process which mean we do not know your activiy on your system. You can check some benchmark
http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/benchmark/apps-benchmark/ebs-standard-benchmark-overview-192676.html
Its also important how mch cpu you have.
Let me give you example from our system. We have 2 node apps server, 2 node rac and db size is almost 18T and our system is working nonstop. Our db has 30CPU and 120g RAm for each node. For apps cpu count and ram count are not like that.10 CPU and 20G ram.
We are happy wiht apps side, but we still working on better performance issue for our db side

SD - situation/effort analysis, sizing questions.

Hi,
do not you know if there is some SAP methodology or template which will enable me to get an overview about size of the AS IS situation from sales and distribution point of view in an company?
I am looking for ideally list of questions which will allow me to estimate effort that will be needed for sucesfull rollout.
Example of questions coming to my mind....will existing business processes be only used or new have to deployed? How many sales areas (or e.g. shipping points) needs to be created? Etc.
Please consider this should be an SAP rollout for more distribution center(s).
Thank you!

Get a copy of the SAP ASAP methodolgy and use that or see if you can get a copy of a blue print that has the questions already included and work your way through it.

JTree sizing question...

Hello:
I have a JTree for which each cell contains a button. I have written a renderer that renders the button, and I realize that I have to do some special stuff to capture a click on the button. My question is unrelated to all of that.
The problem is that over time, the labels on my buttons change (and may become longer (wider)), but the tree size does not change. In fact, when I update the button label and the tree is re-rendered the rendering of the button gets "chopped off". I've put the tree in a scroll pane, but this doesn't help - the right side of some of the buttons get cut off to the original tree size. I've tried lots of different variations on setPreferredSize, calling repaint, etc, and am not having any luck. I've put together a demonstration of this behavior in a smallish application that I'm posting here, where I create a 2 node tree with buttons that read "Hi", then I change the button labels to "Goodbye" and re-render. You'll see that the button's are cut off about halfway through the button.
In case its important - I'm running java version 1.5.0_07 on a 32-bit Linux box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class JTreeQuestion
public static void main(String [] args)
    JTreeFrame f = new JTreeFrame();
    f.pack();
    f.setLocation(30, 30);
    //Draws buttons with "Hi" (short string)
    f.setVisible(true);
    ButtonNode.updateString("Goodbye");
    //Draws buttons with longer string, buttons get "cut off"
    f.repaint();
class JTreeFrame extends JFrame
JTree tree;
JScrollPane treeView;
public JTreeFrame()
    super("My Tree");
    DefaultMutableTreeNode root;
    root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(new ButtonNode());
    root.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode(new ButtonNode()));
    tree = new JTree(root);
    tree.setCellRenderer(new ButtonNodeRenderer());
    treeView = new JScrollPane(tree);
    add(treeView);
class ButtonNode
public static String str = "Hi";
public static void updateString(String inStr)
{ str = inStr; }
String getStr()
{ return str; }
class ButtonNodeRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
                          Object value, boolean sel, boolean expanded,
                          boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus)
    Box theBox = new Box(BoxLayout.X_AXIS);
    super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, sel, expanded,
                                       leaf, row, hasFocus);
    DefaultMutableTreeNode jtreeNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)value;
    theBox.add(new JButton(((ButtonNode)jtreeNode.getUserObject()).getStr()));
    return (theBox);
}

For those who are interested. The DefaultTreeModel has a method named nodeChanged() that tells the tree model that a specific node has changed, and the model re-interprets the cell causing its sizse to change as necessary, so that the full button is rendered now.
Basically what I did was instead of calling repain, I call a method that I wrote that loops through all the tree nodes, indicates they have changed, then repaint's, and it all works out. My trees are relatively small, so this is fine, but if others face the same problem, you'll probably want to selectively indicate which nodes have changed so the tree model doesn't have to do more work than necessary.

Catalog database sizing questions

Hi There,
We need to create an RMAN catalog that would be able to support 8 databases 5 of which are around 50gb(40GB db files+10gb arcglogs) and the remaing 3 are about 120gb (100 db files and 20 archlogs).
Does anyone have any sizing recommendations regarding memory structures (sga, pga, large pool)? disk space? We are using Oracle 11.1.0.7 on windows 2008 server. The server itself is an intel box, dual core E5440 - with 16gb RAM.
Thanks

Hi rsar001,
The size of the catalog schema and database in your setup will not grow to more than 1GB (as long as you maintain a retention policy).
Just set sga_target to 1G.
As an example I have around 100 databases with sizes bewteen 10 GB and 2T and run a daily backup on all of them retention policy 1 month.
The catalog is and stays around 700M for more than 2 years.
Rgds,
Tycho

Export tables, sequence, and package question

Hi all,
I've export table like: exp username/password file=export.dmp log=export.log tables=A statistics=none.
The export statement above just export only the table "A" structure not the table "A" data. So, how can I move all the data from table "A" to table "B".
How do I export the sequence, and package and its data also?
Thank you very much
Kevin

Can you create a DBlink in order to do the insert into B select * from A.
Also, you can use the SQL*Plus Copy command.
Here are some links for COPY command:

Sizing Question FDE HD

My sequences are opening at 1440X1080. I want them to be 720X480.
When I try easy set up it gives me a 4:3 instead of 1080i/60 which is what I shot it in. I tried all variables. I'm lost for solutions..

What is the original material you're working with? What does item properties say the size of the frame is? You can't properly change the sequence settings for a sequence once their is material in in. You have to cut out the material, change the sequence settings (Cmd-zero and load a new preset) and then paste the material back in. This works for a lot of stuff, but not everything.

Sizing Question

I am using the quicksizer tool and had a question that I could not find the answer to in any quicksizer documentation.
When you fill out the EP quicksizer active users table there are 4 scenario categories:
     NW-EP-ESS (Employee Self Service)
     NW-EP-INT (EP Intranet scenario)
     NW-EP-PCC (EP People Centric Scenario)
     NW-EP-PRT (EP Custom developement scenario)
Do I fill out all 4 scenarios or just one. And if a user exists in both do I add them to both?
Appreciate your assistance,
Tom

With the help of a collegue I was able to figure it out. These 4 categroies in the quicksizer are just for notation. It really doesn't matter where you put the data. The only thing you need to fill out is concurrent users, think time, java iviews per page, url iviews per page, % KMC and total users logins within an hour.

Tom

Sizing question (beware newbie)

Hi all,
Here’s a question from a true newbie, I hope it is not
to ignorant to answer though.
It might be the case that this question has been addressed
somewhere in this forum already but that I don’t recognize
the problem due to terminology, to which I’m still to new.
The other problem is that don’t have the site online so
it’s not possible to show it live.
I’ve tried to make an index page (html) with an image
in the middle like a bar. On this bar a few buttons are placed.
When I preview this page in a browser it looks right at first but
when I use the ctrl button and scroll-wheel, (normally altering the
text size) it completely changes the size of the size except for
that bar image. The buttons appear somewhere else on the page. (not
a pretty picture)
Is there a way to prevent the use of ctrl combined with the
mouse scroll-wheel?
It was told me that using fonts measured as pixels this
wouldn’t be possible but that didn’t prevent this to
occur.
Thanks for any help.
Kind regards,
Lexz.
