Setting Zero Origin Point in Timeline?

I want to position layers equidistant from each other on the timeline so that they appear sequentially at a fixed time interval; and rather than counting seconds/frames between endpoint and starting-point (based on where the playhead is in the sequence), is there a way to set the playhead to zero at any given point to make it easy to measure the distance to the next layer?
How is this type of timeline positioning typically accomplished in LiveType?
Thanks.

Thanks for the solution. I'm trying to mark this thread as 'solved' but am getting the following error message:
*Error: An error in the system has occurred. Please contact the system administrator if the problem persists.*
Any suggestions for fixing?
Thanks, again.

Can't set in/out points on timeline

Hello there. I have just downloaded the trial version of Premiere Elements 12, which looks like it might have everything I want in a video editor except... it doesn't seem to have ability to set In/Out points (no button exists and hitting I/O has no affect, despite being on their list of keyboard shortcuts). I'm clearly not doing something right. Not being able to edit quickly via I/O/X feels like being in a car without a steering wheel. Please help!!

L Prickitt
I have already pointed out to you the Premiere Elements 12 ways to trim clips in Expert and Quick - including the Expert workspace Project Assets double click of file thumbnail there to bring up the Preview Window as well as the Quick workspace maneuvers.
I have observed that the I and O shortcuts work only after the Preview Windows is evoked in Expert workspace by double clicking the file in either Project Assets or on the Timeline. There are different considerations when Preview Windows is used and brought up in those two different ways - from Project Assets vs Timeline. You really do want to be double clicking the file in Expert workspace Project Assets to bring up the Preview Window for your trims.
However, whether in Expert (Timeline) or Quick workspace (Filmstrip), you can drag the edges of the clip to get a trim.
Your recent post (4) defines what you want to do.
- Drop video, sound and voice over clips onto the timeline (either with a mouse or shortcut keys)
- In the timeline trim the clips most effeciently (for me, anyway) by marking an In Point (by clicking on the I key) and then an Out Point (by clicking on the O key), then deleting the clip (by clicking on X or delete key).
I would ask this. You cite prior experience in what you want to do. What program did you use - was it other than some version of Premiere Elements?
I cannot see what you want to be done in Premiere Elements without bringing up and using the Preview Window which may be taking away the quick style that you described for getting this task done. Again, you cannot use I and O as you cite in the absence of the Preview Window.
Please consider. Knowing the program that you worked with previously would help in the understanding on my side. I have looked at prior versions of Premiere Elements and cannot see what you describe. So, I want to be sure I am not overlooking something.
We will be watching for further information in the hope that we can put together some sort of compromise workflow.
Thank you.

Setting a different "Arrange in Front" origin point?

When selecting 'Arrange in Front' (click the Window menu, press the Option key, and "Bring All to Front" changes to "Arrange in Front"), the window origin appears to center the arranged windows in the middle of the screen. This is in the Safari app, but it works in other applications.
The menu option seems to calculate the overall size of the rearranged window group, and centers the group in the middle of the screen.
I'd like to be able to set the origin to the upper left corner of the screen, instead of the middle of the screen.
Is there a plist or something to edit to spedify the origin point for this action?
Thanks in advance!

Yes he would have to change his code. I am just used to using "S_" and it is the standard Oracle naming convention for synonyms. (Also it makes it clear that you are referencing the table via a synonym rather than hitting the table directly.
Why not encode all table names in an abstract class.
Eg
package utils;
public class TableNames
public static final String TABLE_NAME1 = "S_TABLE_NAME1";
public static final String TABLE_NAME2 = "S_TABLE_NAME2";
//etc etc
This class can then be used in the building of sql statements. If the table name happens to change at any time then a change is only required in TableNames class.

How to set the out point beyond 9.95 seconds???

how to set the out point in Motion 5 beyond 9.95 seconds???

First you need to make sure your project is long enough then you can adjust the play range (in/out). To make sure the project is long enough:
1. From the project properties (command-J) go to the Duration field and enter a new duration.
2. Click on the down arrow icon to the right of the current time, there is an option to show the project duration. Once set to this you can double click the number and type in a new project duration. I'd recommend setting it back to show current time when done.
3. Of course you can also change the duration of a project when it is first created, in the project browser.
Once you're sure you have a long enough project you can adjust the in and out range. You then use the zoom controls in the bottom of the timeline to show more of the timeline and adjust the play range as needed. There's lots more about project and play range duration adjustments in the documentation: http://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.1/

Change of Video Frame One Sample Out of Sync with Correct Point on Timeline

Change of Video Frame One Sample Out of Sync with Correct Point on Timeline.
It has been found on the author's PC that, in Audition 3 in Multitrack View, a video file displayed in the video window will change its frame one sample later than it should do with respect to the correct point on the timeline. This has led to extra work having to be done by the author, as detailed later.
To demonstrate this issue:
Create a new multitrack session. Enable the Time and Video windows. Enable only 'Snap to Frames'.
Using an external program, render a two-frame video clip at 25fps. Let the first frame contain the letter 'A', and the second frame contain the letter 'B'. Making sure that the Display Time Format is set appropriately, in this case at 'SMPTE 25 fps (EBU)', lock this clip on the multitrack timeline, ensuring that the clip starts at time 00:00:00:00.
Create a mono audio clip of silence at 48kHz 32-bit that is two frames long. Lock it on an audio track, ensuring that the clip starts at time 00:00:00:00.
Place the cursor at time 00:00:00:01 and create a cue marker at this point by pressing F8.
Zoom into the timeline so that approximately twenty samples are visible, with the cursor lying on the cue marker in the middle of the screen. The Time window should display 00:00:00:01. The Video window should display the letter 'A'.
Move the cursor back in time (leftwards) by one sample. The Time window should change its display to 00:00:00:00, whilst the Video window should still show the letter 'A'.
Move the cursor forwards in time (rightwards) by one sample, so that it overlays the cue marker again. The Time window should change its display back to 00:00:00:01, whilst the Video window remains showing the letter 'A'.
Move the cursor forwards in time (rightwards) by one more sample. The Time window's display should remain at 00:00:00:01, but the Video window should now display the letter 'B'.
As can be seen from the above steps, the video's change of frame content occurs incorrectly one sample later than it should; the change of video frame content should occur simultaneously with the change of the frame number displayed in the Time window, which is at the point that the cue marker has been placed.
The practical effect of this issue is that it has caused the author a huge amount of extra work on an 89-minute long soundtrack-for-video timeline. There were over 1100 changes of shot which the author wished to mark by placing cue markers at the beginning of every shot. This should have been a quite simple process of enabling 'Snap to Frames', stepping through the video, and laying cue markers down by pressing F8 when the shot was seen to change.
Because currently the Video window (referencing the cursor laying over a cue marker
i that has been placed on the timeline using the 'Snap to Frames' option
) will actually display the end moments of the previous frame rather than the beginning moments of the current frame, laying down a cue marker when the shot is seen to change will actually place that marker at the beginning moments of the second frame of the new shot, not at the beginning moments of the first frame of the new shot, i.e. the cue marker placed will be one frame later in time than it should be. If it is wished for the cue marker to, as best it can, represent the beginning moments of the first frame of the new shot, it has to be manually repositioned so that it is at least a sample later in time than the time at which the shot has actually changed, in order for the Video window to correctly display the content.
The author had to manually reposition all 1100+ cue markers.
Ideally, the Video window should display a change of video frame in synchronization with the change of the frame display in the Time window, which occurs at the position of the 'Snap to Frames' point.

How do you set the in point of a clip?

I'm using the timeline template that has a number of clips flying by and I need to adjust the in point of the clips. To be clear, I'm NOT trying to adjust the point that the clip appears in the timeline but instead the portion of the clip that will be displayed as it fly's by within the Motion timeline.

All that that seems to do is set the in point of the clip on the Motion timeline. Again, what I am attempting to do is change what is seen on the particular clip that has been dropped into this template. Where the inset clip window appears on the timeline is fine but I want is a later portion of the video within that clip to be shown as it is flying by. As it is now the clip is just beginning to show the footage I want as it is flying out of view.

X Y origin point in Illustrator

I need the x, y origin point to be in the lower left corner. In the past I was able to go into the Adobe Illustrator setting and change some code so when I double clicked in the left corner of the ruler it would switch my origin to lower left. Now there is nothing in the setting folder because this program is on the cloud. How do I fix the issue now?

In the past Illustrator's x y origin was in the lower left hand corner. In CS6 they changed this to the upper left corner but we were able to change Illustrators setting so we just had to double click in the left upper corner of the ruller and it would set back down to the lower left. Our compnay has templates depending on the setting to be this way. It would be a pain to drag every files x y origin each time. Now since Illustrator is on the cloud the seetings folder no longer exists on our computers to fix this.

Return to click point in timeline

Does anyone know whether FCP allows us to return to the location clicked in the timeline before playing? In other words, if you click to find a frame, then press the spacebar to play, then how can you return to the frame you clicked?
Is there a "back-to-last-clicked" command somewhere?
Thanks.

set an in point, then use up arrow...
set a marker, then use option-m
But I'll bet Hanumang will pipe in here with the proper way.
EDIT - But in case he doesn't...look at the bottom of 'Mark' on your main menu bar..there are several ways to accomplish this along with keyboard shortcuts. And know ye, that Hanumang is THE pre-eminent (sp) keyboard shortcut KING.

Copy In to Out points in timeline?

If i'm in the timeline and have in and out points set over a portion of a clip how can i copy the portion between the in to out points to paste else where like you can in fcp?
Thanks

Curious (and also wondering if CS3 is different from CS4):
I was very confused until I realized that Patrick must be referring to Sequence in/out points.
Patrick, why are you using Sequence in/out points? I'm not suggesting you shouldn't, just curious. Help files address these as relevant to 3 and 4 point edits, or doing lift/extract operations. I couldn't understand why you weren't simply copying and pasting the clip, since a clip with in/out points will paste just as is (i.e. Jim's method).
> Set your in/out points on the clip in the timeline
Jeff, can you put clip in/out point while it is in the timeline (other than dragging the end)? And if you drag the clip, then all you need to do is copy/paste.
Harm, there's no short cut to setting the in and out points your way, is there?
Another option:
Select the clip in the timeline
Go to Sequence in marker.
Add a clip marker
Go to Sequence out marker.
Add a clip marker
Double click clip (opens in Source Monitor)
go to markers and set in/out points on clip
Move CTI to new clip location
Add clip to timeline

Photoshop Rulers not resetting to origin point.

Hi - I have PS CS5 and adobe says that in order to reset Rulers you need to 'To reset a ruler’s origin to its default value, double-click the upper-left corner of the ruler.'
But when I try that nothing happens. I have tried resetting my workspace as well but still not working. I would really appreciate if someone can help out - thanks.

I have a similar problem. My guides never adjust to the new origin point I set by dragging from the top left corner. The guides just use use document edges as origin points.
I have reset my preference file but this hasn't helped. I'm using Photoshop CS6 on Mac.

Set arbitrary origin of objects, outside "Free transform" tool?

Hi,
With Modify≫ Transform≫ Free Transform a nice thing is that we can move the origin, unlike with other tools that the origin is the center of the image.
If I am using other tools such as the one recommended by groove25 in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4443283#4443283, is there any way I can set arbitrary origin?
Bob

You'll notice with the Star Auto shape, for example, that when you click on the Transform tool to select it, a small black circle (the rotation point) appears in the center of the star. You can drag that circle anywhere you like to relocate the rotation point.

Keyboard shortcuts to set in/out points?

I've been using FCP for a while, but lately have been teaching iMovie HD at our local cable access studio. I'm very impressed with what iMovie can do now, with one glaring problem - setting in/out points. I'm used to playing through my video, and when I get to a point I want I'll click "i" or "o" to set the points.
In iMovie the only way (near as I can tell) to set in/out points is by scrubbing the markers which confuses everyone and takes far too long. It's a very strange feature not to have an obvious keyboard equivalent to.
Is there any way to set in/out points via the keyboard?

There's a list of iMovie keyboard shortcuts under 'Help' on the top-line menu: it's "iMovie HD Keyboard Shortcuts".
But iMovie doesn't work on In and Out points selected from a longer clip, in the way that Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro do.
It was originally envisaged that iMovie, as a simple editor, just lets you cut and join clips, with optional Transitions, Effects, etc.
There are Crop Markers which can be used: just put your cursor beneath the blue(?) Playhead line, just under the playback window, and a pair of triangular crop markers will appear. If they don't - just hover for a moment at the extreme left just beneath the playback window.
The crop markers can then be dragged to any positions, and Apple ('Command')+K will then crop that selected video section. This can be undone with Apple+Z.
The crop markers can be dragged anywhere, or you can click on one and use the usual keyboard shortcuts of left and right cursor key to move one a frame at a time, or Shift+left/right cursor key to jump 10 frames at a time.
It wasn't originally anticipated, with iMovie, that people would import longer sections of video than needed (..unlike professional shooting and capture..) and then choose just briefer sections within those long clips. The thinking behind iMovie was "cut out and throw away", not "identify shorter section and use that, while secretly retaining full duration of original clip".
It's only with the current iMovie 5/HD that the background handling of clips now approaches FCE and FCP, giving reliable "non-destructive trimming", so that crop markers can be used to set 'wanted' sections, and other sections remain behind invisibly, in a robust Trash can, "..just in case".
You can 'Split video at Playhead' (Apple+T) ..which is what I generally use for editing, but you have to manually drag crop markers to where you want them. It's a historical thing.
You're really asking for a shortcut to set a crop marker to the Playhead position. Why not use Feedback to ask for one in the next version?
But sorry; I don't know of any keyboard shortcuts to do what you want.
Maybe someone else does, though..

Animation: Same Layer, Multiple Points in Timeline?

Hello everybody,
I have two questions about using the Animation feature in Photoshop...
(1) Is it possible to copy, click and drag an entire set of layers in the timeline? Like, if I want to move a group of layers forward or backward in the timeline, without individually moving each layer?
(2) This one I think might be impossible... is it possible to have the same layer show up at multiple points in the timeline? Like if I want to create an animation which goes through several cycles with only a few layers changing in each cycle? This feature would be really helpful, it'd be a shame if it isn't supported.
Many thanks!
Jason

Select your layer
Select the pen tool (letter g)
Draw the first mask
Set the first mask to subtract
Draw the second mask
Set the second mask to subtract
Repeat as needed
Another option
Add a colored solid to your comp above the layer you want to mask
Change the blend mode of the colored layer to multiply or overlay so you can see through it
Select the colored layer that you can now see through
Select the pen tool or other mask tool
Draw your masks using the underlying layer as a guide
Set the colored layer as an alpha inverted track matte for the layer you wish to mask
To learn how to use mask tools in detail type mask in the Search Help field at the top right corner of AE and follow the links provided for excellent tutorials and instructions.

How to realise a point track application with user-defined original point?

hi,
I am developing a simple point track application, it is not the same as the traditional mouse cursor tracking problem and i get really confused.
there are two pictures to describe my application：
the first one descirbes the default state of my application：
1.red circle is the point that user can move;
2.white cross is the original point;
3.blue circle is the range of red circle motion
the second one describes the track process of my application：
1.user can move the red circle with a click of mouse button in any place within blue circle;
2.application should show coordinates of red circle relative to white circle in real time;
3.once user release the red circle(or the button of mouse), the application should return to its default state.
I realy do not know how to realise the key parts of this application, like showing a circle in panel and connecting the points within it to the labview code? can anybody give me some suggestions? thanks a lot

Attached is a very rough implementation of what you're looking for. Add a "draw (white) line" after the "draw circle" function to make the crosshairs persist when the circle is near the center. Prob want to delete the crosshairs from the blue circle picture (currently contained in a constant) to avoid drawing them twice and them not quite lining up. All of the constants are empirically determined and need slight adjustments (e.g. centering of the red circle when mouse is up, etc.). They will need further adjustment if you resize the blue circle picture.
Not sure what you mean by connecting the points within the LV code. I suspect you're using the eyeball to drive an XY stage or such and need to use the red circle coordinates to moderate the travel speed?
