Settings...what is the secret

i have had a heck of a time generating HD clips that will play in QT on my own computer without "staggering,"
i can down load an HD movie trailer from apple (armored) that is bigger (1920x912 vs 1780x720), in millions and at 24 fps (mine is 30). the trailer plays, as far as i can tell, flawlessly. both in H.264.
what is the secret? what are they doing that i am not?

tom, that is what i think too, but darned if i can figure out what. spent about two hours on the phone with FCE product specialists at Apple that last two days, and they weren't ready to guarantee clean running. one suspected underperforming hard drives. what really distresses me is that i can see some of this staggering inside of FCE where it shouldn't happen.
i took an exported clip to another machine at a local connecting point store and the staggering still happened, suggesting that it was embedded in the clip somehow. i can scrub the clip in QT using the right arrow key held down and all the frames appear to be there, but when running, every approximately four seconds, it staggers.
i created a separate boot drive with a fresh install of leopard and put only my video card drivers and FCE on it. disconnected everything except the firewire to the camcorder and the USB for the keyboard to try to isolate the environment. it still happened. before i even put the video drivers in, i played the exported clip. every four seconds i got a horizontal distortion that moved from the bottom of the clip to the top. after i installed the video drivers, this became the stagger.
tomorrow i am going to a retail store with my camcorder to capture the same clip there and see if there is any difference. i don't believe it is the camera as i can hook it up with HDMI to a HDTV and it plays fine. i suppose there could be a firewire problem in the camcorder.
i am stumped and frustrated.

How are you trying to do it from your computer? Try plugging it into your charger while connected to wifi, then either lock the screen and wait (it should backup up ever 24 hours) or go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Back Up Now.

Re: (forte-users) Ok, what's the "secret" for setting serverside envi

Dear Robinson,
It seems to be that you have 2 ways of solving the problem:
1) restart forte after setting the environment variables
2) write a little application which sets the required variables, using
the task.part.OperatingSystem.SetEnv(name,value) method.
If you have to chage the variables rarely, then it`s easier to restart forte,
otherwise I would suggest to use the SetEnv function...

Richard,
There is no way of changing the environment variable once the Node
Manager is up. You will have to shutdown the node manager and then restart
it to have the new environment variables take effect. Sorry, there is no
secret way of doing this that I know of.
But you can set the variables on you development machine and run you
application without distributing. This way the partition will be running in
your client machine and not the server.
Another way we have also got around this is by having a special
environment variable on the client side that opens a admin screen when you
run you application. This admin screen will allow you to change the
environment variables and then set them on the server partition. You will
have to do come coding on the server to make this happen but if you are
using a framework then it should be easy. We call this developer reconnect
facility. It only can be activated by the special client side environment
variable. I comes in very handy when we are development and want to change
the database on the server partition.
Hope this help.

What is the secret to creating 3D interactive objects?

Recently, I touched a "squishy" 3D object on a game on an iPad, and now I am wondering: What are these objects and what is the secret to creating them? I am interested in adding some inheritance to my current 2d sprite objects in Visual Studio.
When I begin programming for iPhone and iPad, will such objects be standard graphics components?

What's the secret to creating realistic gold text?

I've been using Illustrator for years, but I'm relatively new to simulating gold effects. I'm currently designing a sign for a developer. Unfortunately, the budget doesn't allow us to use hand painted gold lettering so we'll need to create this using a wide format, high-resolution CMYK ink jet printer. I don't have too much trouble with creating gold logos and geometric shapes, but getting the type to look realistic is a little daunting.
So with that in mind, what's the secret to creating a realistic gold text? What's the best gradation angle to use. Should I mix angles for logo, backgrounds, and text or try to keep it all about the same?
Thanks!

No such thing. All metals consist of 70% to 99% environment reflection blended with the absorbtion color, hence the trick to "realistic" metal shading is capturing the reflections and light, not working with arbitrary angles or whatever. It simply needs to follow the curvature of the text, that's the whole trick.

I cleared the cache and my site does not update! What's the secret?

I cleared the cache and my site does not update! What's the secret? I created a second website and bought a domain name. You can get to the site by it's mac name or the purchased domain name. I linked the domain name and with my server and it works. The site comes up wither way. BUT, either way, I cannot get my changes to appear. I had realized that my links were not working because I had placed them within the header. So, I moved the links out of the header, republished, and now the new pages (with links in body of website) will not load. Here are the two ways to get to see the site. Both show the old way (links in header). What is up with me not being able to see the changes in either Firefox or Safari?

What's the secret to reverb?

I have spent many many many nights trying to learn, understand, experiment with, and master REVERB. but more specifically, phyiscally placing a sound coming from a stereo field with physical depth... if someone closed their eyes and heard it, it would sound as if it were coming from somewhere near them, rather than being able to understand the reverb is false.
here is a test i did a few days ago, mimicing this clip from john williams on jurassic park:
http://www.bedrock-studios.com/clarinet.mp3
and my attempt to copy it:
http://www.bedrock-studios.com/clarinettest.mp3
its just not quite there! it still sounds false! when i hear it, it doesnt sound like im standing in the room with that instrument... it sounds so dull...
engineers, tell me your secrets! what do you do with the sample down the line to get it in that room!!!??? do you do a low cut? where in the chain? more than 1 reverb? 20% to this? 55% to that? PLEASE TELL ME! HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND! TEACH A MAN TO FISH!
here's another example from the green mile:
http://www.bedrock-studios.com/greenmile.mp3
that instrument is truly in that room... it has presence and a distance between you and it. its so physical the space it occupies. SURELY there's a way to very closely mimic this effect... what am I missing? what are your secrets! i want my instruments to sound as if they are TRULY recorded live in that room... rather than sloppily muddied in with a reverb effect...
cheers!

Hi Chris thanks for this post. It is something that I have been struggling with wrapping my brain around as well.
I would like to add a supplemental/complimentary question (no thread-jacking, I swear it on Steve's CEOness):
What's the secret to Delay?
Because of this thread, Band On The Run and I had a great discussion. I'll let him fill you in on his half of the conversation if he cares to, but I would like to lay my ideas at the feet of the forum elite so they can pick it up and say, "This is nice," or just kick it aside.
Here goes:
I contend that mixing instruments with an imaginary room space (and a complimentary reverb) in mind, an instrument would need to have some delay to help solidify it's position in that imaginary room (who doesn't though?). The easiest way I can see this happening is by putting three different, but complimentary delays on three different busses and routing most, if not all, tracks through them.
The first delay would represent the "Back Wall," and to some extent the floor and ceiling. This delay would probably be the most present of the delays in the mix and should have the characteristics of your imaginary back wall. For this example, I'm going to say it's a brick wall.
The second delay, I'll call the "Left Wall" (from the listener's/mixer's perspective) and will be panned all the way to the left. Here's where things get interesting. Let's say for fun's sake that this imaginary wall is treated somehow. So it's reflections are going to be darker then the "Back Wall." You'd want to pick a delay that reflects (no pun intended) that treatment.
And finally the third delay. I'll call it Steve...I mean the "Right Wall." Let's imagine that it's covered in a thick curtain or something. So we'd need to pick a delay that has that characteristic.
I suggest that if an instrument in this imaginary space is a good distance behind the singer (traditionally the forefront of the mix) and to the left of said singer (from the mixer's perspective), you'd send a lower (maybe higher? This is all speculation at this point) amount of that track to the "Back Wall," a higher amount of "Left Wall," and very little to the "Right Wall."
I would suggest using the same amount of "Left Wall" and "Right Wall" for the singer (dead center). Although very low levels of both.
I know that there are some flaws in this idea, namely that the closer to a wall an instrument is, the faster the slap back occurs and this system doesn't have the ability to account for that or that too much delay can quickly muddy up a mix. But I think there is some merit with this concept, and I wouldn't mind some feed back.
Thanks for your time.

Reading the library contents - what's the secret?

What's the simplest way to read a library - specifically, given library
myLibrary how can you find out what classes are defined for the library as
well as their type? I haven't found anything in the online help, but I have
to believe if the project workshop can display a project and it's content
there has to be a way to write a chunk of code to read the library "table of
contents".
Note: I'm using Forte Development 3.0.G.2.
Thanks in advance

Hello, Reid. I recall your posting on this some time ago, and since then I concluded for the mix of images I put in, the library plus previews will equal somewhere between 8 and 12% of the overall. Recognizing milegae, of course, but it doesn't seem like you are out of line.

Sick of my tweens not being smooth. What is the secret?

I am not understanding why a simple alpha tween is staggering
my processor every time and just making the tween seem slow and not
smooth.
I basically have a black movie clip that covers my screen,
and i want it to fade up. I've tried using mctween for this and on
the timeline, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
the fact that it's large shouldn't really matter, cause it's
all vector.
i feel like on some high end flash sites, i see really nice,
smooth tweens all the time. But why is it that mine seem so far
away from that?
I've looked at cacheasbitmap, but is that the answer? My
frame rate is 30...and I don't have all sorts of animation at the
same time.
What are the tricks to get just really smooth tweens?
Thanks.

what if you just use a plain vanilla tween:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(mc, "_alpha",
mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone, 100, 0, 1, true);

Settings...what is the secret
