Set video start end points- trim

I brought a short .mov into my keynote and want to trim the start/stop points but the ability to do so is crude in keynote unless I'm missing something... All I can see is to move the start/stop points with the mouse in the inspector... but very crude movement if I want to catch a certain endpoint. Is there a better way? i.e. keyboard control of endpoints or such?

Hi Robert,
I don't think there is. I'd suggest taking the clip into iMovie (or Quicktime) and cropping it more finely that way.

Start-End points not working when sent to Encore

Hello all, I tried to send a project to Encore but I got an error and Encore closed, I did it again and it worked but the start-end points didn't work, I got the whole project. I have since gone back to a former project which I had previously outputted small segments for YouTube and no matter where you set the Start-End points you get the whole project. Is Encore now corrupt or have I changed something ?

I don't quite know what you mean, I opened a project that I left set to output a small portion for You Tube. I clicked dynamic link send to Encore, when Encore opens the whole timeline is there,or am I getting confused ? do you always get the whole timeline start to finish when you send to Encore or are you supposed to get just the part between the start-end points ?

FCP Audio Clips in Soundtrack Pro - Marking the Start & End Points

When I double click on an audio clip that I've sent from FCP into Soundtrack Pro I seem to open up the entire media file.
How do I lock off or at least mark the clip start & end?
I don't see any markers that tell me which part of the clip is actually used in the imported FCP sequence.
I only want to make (non-destructive) changes to the clip.
I don't want to alter the original media file.
And I just want to work on the part that's used in the FCP sequence.
It makes sense that there's a way to show the start & end points of the clip but I'm just not seeing it.

I am a bit of a newb here, so pardon if my explanation is a little unpolished, but I have been working on some of my projects like you are and this is what i figured out. I select my sequence in FCP and send to stp as a multitrack project. The whole audio timeline shows up just as it looks in fcp, and the video track shows as one large clip that is made up of all my cuts put together. Now, my audio tracks are all on one line, and i can see all the clips with their cuts on the sequence. I click the first one and open it up to work on in the waveform editor. At that point i see the entire audio clip, including the part before and after my cut that i am using in my sequence, but i also see, up near the playhead, gray markers that show the actual part of the clip i am using in my edit. It is easest to hit shift-z to look at the entire clip on screen, and then find the grey markers. Also, if you play audio before the in marker, you will hear it but you will see that the video is not playing anything, then once you enter into the in-out section the video will play along, and when you pass the out marker the video freezes as the audio keeps playing. Hope this helps.

Refresh Callable Object if changes are made to VC Start/End points

Looking for some guidance on how to refresh a callable object once I have already brought it into my application.
I have a VC application that I can use as a callable object during my GP process. During design time, I can select it and see the start and end points. I then can map those values and use them in the GP.
If I go back and change the VC application (make a change to the start or end point ... like a new variable or name change) how do I get my GP to recognize that there is a new version of the VC application? Currently I have had to delete the CO and rebuild it...Id rather the tool tell me the version has changed and that I need to remap/group my values.
Note that if I change anything between the start or end point in the VC application there is no problem, since all the GP cares about are those start/end points and how they relate to the rest of the process.

Hello Mike,
It´s a pitty but there is no way to "update" VC based callable objects in GP, (in webdynpro callable objects there is an "update" button that allows to do that) , but with Visual Composer Callable Objects the only way is to create a new one.
Regards,
Marco.

Playing Quicktime with Multiple Start End Points

Hello
I posted a message a few days which I received help on
regarding starting and ending a Quicktime movie from various points
in the movie. Now I have a new problem which I cannot fix at all..
Here is the problem:
I have a Quicktime movie on stage and 10 various buttons that
contain a generic script which allows input of start and end points
for each button to trigger the movie. Initially just doing this
with one button is successful.
However, multiple buttons all with the same generic code make
the movie freeze up completely. My guess is that they are all
fighting each other for control. Maybe I need something in the code
which allows the button that is being used to play the movie to
keep control.
Here is the code I use for each button, the movie is on frame
15.
property pQT,pStart,pEnd,pFrame, pVolume
on beginSprite me
sprite(me.spriteNum).color=rgb (255,255,255)

end

Is It Possible To Snap The Start/End Point Of Gradient Tool To Edges Of An Object?

When I am modifying a gradient on an object, I would like to snap the starting point and the ending point of the gradient to the edges of the object I am working on. Is there a way to do this? I tried just using Smart Guides, as well as the grid and regular guides with no luck. Any ideas?

Krisler,
Select your Inline graphic. Then click on the center of the graphic and drag the mouse's pointer into the text. When you get your pointer into the text you will see the insertion cursor (vertical bar) just at the tip of the mouse arrow. When you let go of the mouse button the insertion point for the graphic will be where the insertion bar was at that time. The key point is to concentrate on the position of your arrow tip as you attempt to reposition the insertion point.

Transitions - setting start/end points for a Title

Hello,
just started using iMovie & I have 2 clips that I want to super a title over through the edit. Clip one fades to black, while clip 2 fades up from black. I would like to have a title appear as clip 1 is starting its fade, continue while clip 2 is fading up to full picture.
When I attempt this, the title starts where I place the play head at the end of clip 1, but clip 2 does not start until the title ends. The title ends up completely over black (NOT selected)... Is the program capable of this effect?
thanks

Hi Matt,
Glad to hear its a supported function. I have a hard cut between clip 1 & 2. The clips have fades out/in built in already & there is audio as well. I am trying to place the title over the fade out of clip 1 through the fade up in clip 2.
And you say "Over black" is not checked when you add
your title?
YES! over black is unchecked.
I did NOT use Edit>Split Video Clip at Playhead. however, after deleting the no-working effect... I see the clip was split.

Is there a way to create an "edit decision list" (clips, start/end points, timeline order) from a project?

I have completed a project draft and would like to record the clip information so I can carry it forward to another project. I can look up the information manually, but wonder if Premiere Elements 10 has a way to export that information to a printable (or electronic) format.

VDRAVES
Thanks for the reply. I do not see Premiere Elements offering what you seek.
If we eliminate any contributions from the Elements Organizer
a. In Project Media, there is a list view where the imported files are listed. There are columns of data associated with each file.
It used to be that one of those columns was for Comments and a few other fields for user input. That has long since disappeared, and what is still there appears non functional for user input. The user can right click a blank area in Project Media and select Edit Columns, but that is about it. There is no user entry opportunities that I see.
b. The Timeline unnumbered markers offer the opportunity for comments for each of the Timeline clips as described in the following blog post
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Forget Me Not Clip Details and Timeline Unnumbered Markers
c. The project file (project.prel) has an associated Notepad document that could be looked for for project data. Much is in codes. The Elements Organizer details would seem to me to be preferred over trying to draw information from the Notepad document of a saved/closed project.prel.
I am not sure if those with scripts and programming know how could find a way to force Premiere Elements to yield the information that you want in the format that you want?
I will think about this some more. But, right now the above is my impression of your thread question and a possible Premiere Elements project Edit Decision List.

Problem setting project end point (can't access the end point marker)

I can't seem to set my project end point because the slider control that adjusts the spacing of the measures is obstructing my pointer from being able to click on the end point marker. Any hints as to how I can move the coation of this slider control so that I can access the end point marker with my pointer?

FYI - the end point marker now turns into a bracket when you hover over it.
THe End-of-Project Marker doesn't change at all. What you see is a change of the Mouse Pointer.
This is called a "Click Zone" where the Mouse Pointer changes to different shapes when moving over or click on an object or an area in the window.
Here the Mouse Pointer changes to "Trim Tool" or "Resize Tool".
Pointer Tool:
Resize Tool:
It is the same Tool wne you move the Mouse Pointer of the right edge of a Region to resize its length.

Custom text component with different start and end points for each line

I'm trying to create a custom component extending textArea in which each individual line in the textArea would have different start and end points. For example, the start/end points for line 1 might be 20 pixels in the front and 35 pixels at the end but start/end points for line 2 might be 25 pixels in front and 20 pixels at the end, etc. These boundary values would be passed in. The width of the entire textArea component would be a fixed size. The result would be something like this:
Jack and Jill
ran up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
depending on the boundary values of each individual line of course. The custom component would take a string and render it in the text component with the appropriate individual line start and end points. I'm trying to do this by adding the text component to the display with the passed in string and then adding in spaces in the beginning of each line and adding a "/n" at the end of the line wherever appropriate based on the start and end values for that line.
Just wondering if I'm on the right track and if anyone has any advice on this.

> Applying the marker places the same icon on all lines of the graph and I need a different one for each
What do you have selected when you assign the marker? It
shouldn't apply to all the markers on the whole graph unless you have all the existing markers selected when you apply the new one.
Assigning marker designs is exactly analogous to assigning bar graph designs.
If you have a single marker selected when you assign the new design, it will apply to only that graph data point.
If you use the group select tool (or option-click with the direct select tool) to reclick on an already-selected marker until all the markers for the same line are selected, and then assign a design, the new design will apply only to the selected line. (You can extend the graph by adding more rows, and the new data points will inherit the marker for the line they are on.)
The thread linked to below demonstrates in more detail how the marker designs are scaled:

How to supply an end point to powershell cmdlet Rename-Blob

[cross posted from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21352295/azure-storage-cmdlet-rename-blob-wants-an-endpoint]
I'm attempting to rename a blog to all lower case:
Rename-Blob -BlobUrl "https://ttseast.blob.core.windows.net/images/Add.png" -NewName "https://ttseast.blob.core.windows.net/images/add.png"
I've verified the blog URI by plugging it into a browser - however, attempting to execute the command tosses:
Rename-Blob : Blob URI does not correspond to storage account end point. A Blob URI must contain blob storage end point.
The arguments for Rename-Blob don't reference anything 'endpoint' - I've loaded the subscription so I should be authenticated and not forced to include AccountName/Key.
How to I determine (or set) the required end point?
thx

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you're using Cerebrata Azure Management Cmdlets as Windows Azure PowerShell Cmdlets do not have a Rename-Blob Cmdlet (Cerebrata has it).
To use Rename-Blob cmdlet, please try the following:
Rename-Blob -BlobUrl "https://ttseast.blob.core.windows.net/images/Add.png" -NewName "https://ttseast.blob.core.windows.net/images/add.png" -AccountName "ttseast" -AccountKey "<your accountkey>"
Thanks to Jaydonli for the alternate approach - turns out that while I thought I was using the native MS cmlets, in fact, I was using 3rd party CLI from Redgate. As per Gaurav Mantri at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21352295/azure-storage-cmdlet-rename-blob-wants-an-endpoint

SSRS Bar Chart grouping date series into Months, setting scaler start and end ranges

I've been trying to solve this issue for a few days now without writing a sql script to create a "blank" for all of missing data points so that I get a bar for each month. I have date series (by day) data points grouped by two items
that creates a set of bar charts. EG: one chart per product in the tablix detail grouped to site level.
My issue is I would like the start and end of the charts to be the same for all charts and the only way I get it to work is with a chart that continues to show each date on the chart.
EG:
I have the graph start and end points set and scaling by month as I would like but each bar is a day instead of aggregating to a month level. My issue I hope to find a workaround for is if I go to Category Groups and define the grouping
to group with a year and month function the series is no longer treated as date data and I cannot control scaling. It works fine if all months have activity, but I can't figure out how to always have all charts start at "May 2012" in this example.
The only start and end point that I've been able to get to work once doing this are integer based, eg normal start would be 1 for each graph, but 1 doesn't equate to the same month from chart to chart.
I hope SSRS can provide the solution. I do know I can write a query that creates a ZERO value for each month/product/site but I don't want to leave the client with a query like that to support.
-cybertosis

Hi cybertosis,
If I understand correctly, you want to display all month category label in the X-Axis. You have configure the Scalar Axis, however, it cannot display the requirement format.
In your case, if we want the specific data format, we can configure Number property to set the corresponding Category data format. Please refer to the following steps:
Right click the X-Axis, select Horizontal Axis Properties.
Click Number in the left pane. Click Date option in the Category dialog box.
Then, select Jan 2000 option.
Please refer to the following screenshot below:
If there are any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Reading cue point parameters on video start

Im trying to create a table of contents to navigate to various points in an .FLV file. I've encoded the flv with cue points in media encoder. I've also added a parameter to each cue called toc_title with the lable that should represent the time in the video to jump to. It occurred to me though that those parameters might not be available to my flash player until the frame of the cue was reached. I need my toc to be visible when the video starts. First of all, is this entirely the wrong approach? I want to make this video player as dynamic as I can and would like to reuse it for several different videos with different TOCs. Is the parameter data set on cue points available at any time in the video playback or only when the cue is reached? Thanks, John

Autoplay Video Start at Specified Point

Hi, I'm hoping someone can assist me in making a change to my Actions. Basically the code below has been designed so that a video starts at 52 seconds (rather than the beginning) when you press play. It works good right now, starts where it's supposed to, but I want to change the code so that it autoplays the video starting at 52 seconds. The problem with this though, is that when I try and set it for autoplay, the video starts at the beginning and doesn't wait for it to load to 52 seconds before it autoplays. Any input on the coding? I need it just so that the autoplay doesn't kick in until the video is loaded to the 52 second point. Thank you in advance! Beyond appreciated!

Line Graph repeats the starting data point at the end also

Hi,
We have a Line Graph as below. This graph is used to show the Salary changes of a person, over time.
But this graph shows an additional non existing data point. Basically it shows the starting data point once again at the end of the other data points.
The model VO for this graph, does not contain this additional data point record. But the graph repeats the starting data point at the end also.
In the screen-shot you can see that, the graph has three data points. But the table has only two. The first data point in the graph is repeated as the last data point.
Is this a Bug..?
Or an issue with the usage of the DVT tags?
The code is given below.
Please advice.
