Several timeline technique questions
1) When you drag the end of a clip longer or shorter in the timeline, a little window pops up showing how many frames you're moving.
Question: Is it possible to see the new lengh as you drag also or in addition?
2) When you move a clip in the timeline up or down to a new track, is there a key stroke to lock it so it does not move left or right?
3) How do I keep a clip on a lower layer from dissolving with the dissolve effect on the layer above it?
4) My sequences are all set to 720x480 wide, but my title window is 720x480 standard. Can I get the title window 'wide'?
5) When I put a video clip on a different layer, the audio track stays on its same layer. How can I get it to move to another layer automatically with the video clip move?
Thanks for your help.

For # 5, why do you want the Audio to move? Jim has given you a method to do it, but what is the exact purpose of chaning the Audio Track?
Remember, you can change the name of any Track, so if you do not want to see Audio 1, you can change that to "AVI Audio," or anything that you want.
Projecting a bit, in case this question comes up, the Audio Clip's channel-count must match the channel-count of the Audio Track. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
Good luck,

IMovie 5.0.2 Technique Questions
Coupla questions, being new to iMovie...
1. Is there a way to move an audio track from trk. 2 to trk. 3 and prevent it from shifting horizontally during the shift? Or do I just have to be really really really really really really incredibly super extra careful about only moving the mouse in the vertical direction?
2. Is there a way to keep audio tracks permanently aligned with their corresponding video track? Despite the yellow 'push pins' being visible, there are times when those tracks somehow get shifted a frame here and there, sometimes more... I'm not quite sure why...
3. Is there any way to make video clips stick permanently to the the places where I position them? Seems like there are more times than not when I make an edit on the far end of my movie, only to find that clips in the beginning have shifted.
4. According to what I read, if you click on an audio clip and use the left/right arrows, you can shift that clip backwards/forwards in 1-frame increments. But all that happens in my case is that the playback head moves, not the clip.iSchwartz,
1. If you select iMovie>Preferences>General>Snap to item in Timeline, you'll be able to relocate your audio tracks very easily.
2. I'm not quite sure about the pushpin behavior either. But you're right, iMovie doesn't stop you from making a change that a pin should stop you (or at least warn you) from making.
3. No, you can't lock a clip to a given point in the time line.
4. That technique used to work in iMovie 4. With iMovie HD 5 I think you can hold down the control key and movie video clips frame by frame, but it doesn't work with audio clips.
In iMovie HD 6 the control key is needed to do a frame by frame movie of a video clip, but not with an audio clip. Just select the audio clip and hit the left or right arrow.

Creating a combined timeline based on several timelines in several tables
Hi,
I need to extract a timeline for a customer based on valid_from and valid_to dates in several tables.
For example: I have a table named customers with an id, a valid_from and a valid_to date and a table named contracts with an contrat_name, customer_id and valid_from and valid_to:
CUSTOMERS:
ID | VALID_FROM | VALID_TO
1 | 01.03.2010 | 01.01.4000
CONTRACTS:
CONTRACT_NAME | CUSTOMER_ID | VALID_FROM | VALID_TO
ContractA | 1 | 01.03.2010 | 01.10.2010
ContractB | 1 | 01.10.2010 | 01.01.4000
The following statement would now give me the correct timeline:
select cus.id customer, con.contract_name contract, greatest(cus.valid_from,con.valid_from) valid_from, least(cus.valid_to,con.valid_to) valid_to
from customers cus
inner join contracts con on cus.id = con.customer_id;
CUSTOMER | CONTRACT | VALID_FROM | VALID_TO
1 | ContractA | 01.03.2010 | 01.10.2010
1 | ContractB | 01.10.2010 | 01.01.4000
That works, but I get a problem as soon as I have a point of time where there is no contract for a customer but I still would like to have these periods in my timeline:
Let's assume the following data and the same select statement:
CUSTOMERS:
ID | VALID_FROM | VALID_TO
1 | 01.03.2010 | 01.01.4000
CONTRACTS:
CONTRACT_NAME | CUSTOMER_ID | VALID_FROM | VALID_TO
ContractA | 1 | 01.05.2010 | 01.10.2010
ContractB | 1 | 01.12.2010 | 01.03.2011
What I would now get would be:
CUSTOMER | CONTRACT | VALID_FROM | VALID_TO
1 | ContractA | 01.05.2010 | 01.10.2010
1 | ContractB | 01.12.2010 | 01.03.2011
But what I would like to get is the following:
CUSTOMER | CONTRACT | VALID_FROM | VALID_TO
1 | null | 01.03.2010 | 01.05.2010
1 | ContractA | 01.05.2010 | 01.10.2010
1 | null | 01.10.2010 | 01.12.2010
1 | ContractB | 01.12.2010 | 01.03.2011
1 | null | 01.03.2011 | 01.01.4000
What I do not want to do is to generate a result with contract = null any time there is no contract since I actually want to join the timeline of several different tables into one and it would therefore become very complicated to assume things based on what data can or can not be found in one specific table.
Thanks for any help or ideas,
Regards,
ThomasHi, Thomas,

... Is this the way you meant? Because I actually didn't have to change anything about part (b) of the statement since non-matching results were excluded by the where-clause "OR valid_from < valid_to" in the final select anyway.You're absolutely right. Sorry about the mistakes in my last message. I'm glad you solved the problem anyway.
Beware of SELECT DISTINCT . Adding DISTINCT causes the system to do extra work, often because the query was doing something wrong and generating too many rows, so you pay for it twice. In this case, the join conditions in (b) are different from (a) and (c), so b is generating too many rows. The DISTINCT in the main query corrects that mistake, but it would be more efficient just to avoid the mikstake in the first place, and use the same join conditions in all 3 branches of the UNION. (You could also factor out the join, doing it once in another sub-query, and then referencing that result set in each branch of the UNION.)
You can get the same results a little more efficiently, with a little less code, this way:
WITH union_data AS
SELECT MIN (ua.customer_id) AS customer_id
, NULL AS contract_name
, MIN (ua.valid_from) AS valid_from
, MIN (oa.valid_from) AS valid_to
, 'A' AS origin
FROM tmp_customers ua
JOIN tmp_contracts oa ON oa.customer_id = ua.customer_id
AND oa.valid_from >= ua.valid_from
AND oa.valid_to <= ua.valid_to
GROUP BY ua.id
UNION ALL
SELECT ub.customer_id
, ob.contract_name
, ob.valid_from
, ob.valid_to
, 'B' AS origin
FROM tmp_customers ub
JOIN tmp_contracts ob ON ob.customer_id = ub.customer_id
AND ob.valid_from >= ub.valid_from
AND ob.valid_to <= ub.valid_to
UNION ALL
SELECT uc.customer_id
, NULL AS contract_name
, oc.valid_to AS valid_from
, LEAD ( oc.valid_from
, 1
, uc.valid_to
) OVER ( PARTITION BY uc.id
ORDER BY oc.valid_from
) AS valid_to
, 'C' AS origin
FROM tmp_customers uc
JOIN tmp_contracts oc ON oc.customer_id = uc.customer_id
AND oc.valid_from >= uc.valid_from
AND oc.valid_to <= uc.valid_to
SELECT *
FROM union_data
WHERE contract_name IS NOT NULL
OR valid_from < valid_to
ORDER BY customer_id

Animation in FXD file - How to start several timelines simultaneously
I have a slide show of different FXZ files. Each with it's own animations defined in the contained FXD file.
As each FXD file contains different animations for different object and what not, how can I simply trigger all animations to execute at once?
So far I am using:
var action = fxdContent.getObject("moveCircle") as Timeline;
action.play();But say for example, I have three animations in my FXD -> "moveCircle", "moveSquare", "moveLine" how can I initiate them all at once?
Thanks.If you want to start several parallel transitions simultaneously, you should use the class javafx.animation.transition.ParallelTransition to do it. It can be defined either in directly in FXD content
FXD {
actions: [
ParallelTransition {
id: "main"
content: [
Timeline {
id: "animation1"
repeatCount: 1
autoReverse: false
keyFrames: [
KeyFrame {
time: 3000
values: [ KeyValue { target: #rect.x value: 40} ]
Timeline {
id: "animation2"
repeatCount: 1
autoReverse: false
keyFrames: [
KeyFrame {
time: 3000
values: [ KeyValue { target: #rect1.y value: 200} ]
content: [
Rectangle {
id: "rect"
x: 10
y: 11
width: 40
height: 40
fill: Color.RED
Rectangle {
id: "rect1"
x: 50
y: 50
width: 40
height: 40
fill: Color.GREEN
}or can be in the JavaFX Script code, for example
var main = ParallelTransition {
content: [
fxdContent.getObject("moveCircle") as Timeline,
fxdContent.getObject("moveSquare") as Timeline,
fxdContent.getObject("moveLine") as Timeline
}the parallel transition is then simply started by the play() method. -
Premiere Pro 5.5 timeline timecode question
Does Premiere Pro 5.5 output TC on HD-SDI when using Kona 3. There have been reports by users that when recording the HD-SDI output (like to a Ki Pro Mini) that they are not seeing any Timeline Timcode coming out the spigot. Any Adobe folks or others know if this is true of false?

I'm trying to create a slideshow in Dreamweaver MX similar to
the same style as this webpage has:
http://www.milliestuxandbridal.com/
The problem I have is that when I do create it according to this
tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/interactivity/slideshow/slideshow02.html
I get this message when I preview it in a browser (IE7): To protect
your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this page from
running scripts or ActiveX controls. I can allow the script to run
but I must be doing something wrong because I don't get this
message when I view MilliesTuxandBridal. Can anyone figure out how
they made the slideshow in Millie's website so that a security
message doesn't show? Should I make the slideshow in Flash instead
of Dreamweaver? Or is there another program or tutorial I should
try? Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help with
this matter. By the way, I would like to make this slideshow with
10 photos and to have the photos overlap each other slightly.
Thanks again.I am still trying to figure out the Timeline in Dreamweaver
and I appreciate the help I have received. I was actually able to
make it work with this tutorial
http://www.flawebdeb.com/septdebtip.htm
. Although it did work well after uploading my page to my webhost,
I noticed that the slideshow, which worked well in IE7 did not
rotate through the slideshow in Firefox 1.5.0.5. (I have tried it
on several computers/browsers). One other thing I am after is a way
to make the Timeline rotate images with a slight overlap of images
instead of just swapping the images. I did try using different
layers on different channels but was unsuccessful. I did notice one
other mistake I have been making and not sure which way is correct.
When I use a layer with a image in the Timeline, do I use the layer
or the image? (I did see one of each in one of my test
timelines) -
Is there a way to apply a constant speed change to a clip and not have that clips duration update to the new length, rippling everything down the timeline?
There are times when I need to insert a clip into a pre-produced doughnut with set clip lengths. The footage I'm inserting needs to run at 50% - 70% speed starting at my IN point. The workaround at this point is to lock all the tracks and do the speed change on another unlocked track, and then unlock everything and drag the effected clip into the space.
Does my question make sense? Is there a way to do what I'm wanting to do?
Thanks
VanIf you are happy using 50% or don't want to do any extra math, figure out the duration of the space between the two clips it will be between. Let's say your gap has a duration of 1 sec. Load up the clip you want to change the speed on into the viewer. Set your inpoint, and set your duration to 15 frames. Now change the speed in the viewer (cmd j) to 50%. Your clip is now 1 sec long at 50%, a perfect fit for that gap you have. Easy for speeds of 50%, anything else you actually have to think about the math.

10.7.3, bound to AD
Several questions that I can't seem to find the answer to on apple's KB.
1. When setting up an iphone to synch with the lion server, why does it only present mail and notes for synch? Is this just how it works, you have to setup the different services seperately for mail, contacts, and calendar? I can't believe that when an iphone has builtin support for exchange.
2. I followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3660 to get ical working for AD users. I also followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5276 to get push notifications in ical and addressbook working for AD users. It was initially working after following this doc, however now it's not. Even after restarting just get invalid username or password.The log file shows something about an OD crash which seems to coincide with an attempt to login to iCal using AD credentials.
3. I cannot edit user's shortnames via WGM. Even so, it wouldn't accomplish what i need. So i'm fine with just manually creating aliases. I tried to edit the postfix aliases file for a test alias
group: user1, user2
Doesn't work even after restarting mail it says it's unknown user. Mailman doesn't work the way i expected. I need to create distrobution groups, not a maillist.
Anyone know how i can fix these issues?Hi
"Is it normal to learn in the beginning and then to start working correctly?"
In essence, yes.
Graylisting is on by default when you configure and enable the Mail Service and it's actually a good thing if you're prepared to be patient. However you may decide you don't actually need it and resort to other methods of filtering mail to your domain. There are many tools available for any enterprise wishing to run it's own private mail server and graylisting is just one option. There are lots of resources explaining graylisting which you can google for yourself.
However these might help?
http://www.lakecomm.com/readarticle.php?article_id=5
http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/144/84/
http://www.timabbott.com/computers/mac-os-x-server-greylisting/
A good resource for all things OS X Mail Server is here:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/
Your iCal Service issue for Active Directory Users may be answered here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3660?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
However the problem you're describing with certificates is not good and you should really clear this up as soon as you can. There are some 'golden rules' regarding servers in general and OS X Server in particular. In no particular order these are:
1 - Start at the end to begin at the beginning (a bit odd but it does make sense if you think about it)
2 - DNS. Get this bit right and everything else will follow
3 - If you mess up the initial configuraton right at the beginning it's best to start again
4 - DNS. Get this bit right and everything else will follow
5 - A lot of features you'd expect from a Mail Server for Enterprise use is not in the GUI. You will have to use Terminal sooner rather than later. This is also true to a lesser degree with other services.
6 - DNS. Get this bit right and everything else will follow
The above is only my opinion.
If you've not already done so you may want to start again (wipe and reinstall) otherwise you may find as time goes on that the instability the server is suffering from at the moment will only get worse and usually when you least want it.
HTH?

Audio disappeared on several timelines in project. How do I get it back?
I am working on a project that I started in CS4 and continued in CS5 after the upgrade. At first I had to do a lot of re-linking for some reason, but most everything works fine. However on 3 of the 6 timelines the audio is gone. It shows up as a solid line with no waveform (even though that view is selected). I haven't been able to figure out any way to get it back. I tried closing the project and deleting the .pek files in the "Media Cache Files" folder, and re-opening the project hoping that it would recreate them, but that didn't happen. I also opened a new project and imported the original file (captured on a p-2 card). That didn't seem to work either. Help!???
I would first try the Match Frame (the M-key in CS5, IIRC). Place the CTI over one of those Flatline Clips, and Select that Audio Clip. Press the M-key. Does that restore the Audio?
I do not know if there is a shortcut to do an entire Timeline, so it might be a Clip-by-Clip basis. Maybe others will have an easier way to do the full Timeline.
Good luck,
Hunt

I'm looking for answers to the following questions with respect to Framemaker 9:
1) How do I get the Spell Checker to recognize words that abut dash ems and ellipsis? Currently the Spell check flags such instances.
2) Is there no way to display POTENTIALLY misspelled words as Microsoft Word does with wiggly red underlines?
3) When hypenation is turned ON for a particular paragraph design, how does one keep the very last word on the page from hyphenating without affecting all of the other hyphenation within that paragraph? I would have though Framemaker would know better than to split a word in the middle of a page break.
...this is an example of what I am talking about. Hyphen-
---------auto page break-----
ation is occuring across a page break!
4) Is there a way to make the text large in the Adobe Help Viewer window? If one is working on a 26"+ LCD monitor, the default text in the Help viewer is so small one needs a magnifying glass to read it.
Thanks.>> Try a thin-space between the words and the em-dash or ellipsis.
Thanks, but that really creates another problem, that is, when using FULL JUSTIFICATION the thin space and become a huge space. I can't believe FM is so dumb that it doesn't know better than to flag the words left and right of a dash em as misspelled.
>> IIRC, this is a browser function - "ctrl +" to enlarge in Firefox and Chrome.
I have no idea what you just said. What is IIRC? And what does FF and Chrome have to do with the sad Adobe Help viewer? -
How to save a looks with several timeline's layers?
I need two masks in a correction, therefore is essential another layer in the timeline for the second mask, but how I can to save a looks that includes the two layers?
Hea Manuel,
right now you cannot save two seperate looks in one Lookfile.
you have to save them seperately. to apply them:
1) apply first look on desired clip
2) drag second look onto the desired clip, creating a separate gradinglayer
hope that helps,

I want to install Windows for games on my late 2012 iMac
1) Do I have to get any special versions? Will OEM versions work? I can only seem to find OEM versions of Windows 7 on Amazon.
2) For gaming should I get Windows 7 or Windows 8.1
3) Will I have any problems with my bluetooth keyboard? (I have a USB gaming mouse)
4) Is there any place I can purchase a downloadable copy of Windows? I can't seem to find any.
A peripheral question: I'm going to be using XPlane flight simulator which is available for Windows and Mac. Is there any reason to pick one OS over the other for an application like that?OEM is fine, all you need is the key ... for the w7 ISO, go here
http://techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/
for gaming, 7 or 8.1 both are fine. if same price, go 8.1, why not ... note, though, you'll need to buy a 8.1 DVD as you cannot consistently find these ISOs online
if the BT kb is already paired in OSX before you start boot camp assistant, it *should* be fine but would not hurt to have a wired kb and mouse handy -
Premiere Elements 12 - Timeline Rendering Question.
Hello All.
When I add my video files to my timeline, press the "Render" button for a smoother timeline, after the process has finished, the quality looks terrible. Am I doing something wrong?javablood
More later in the morning. But just leaving you with some things to check out.
In Premiere Elements 12, the render indicator system is
You are getting the best possible preview, no rendering possible since you already have best preview
no colored line over Timeline content
green line over Timeline content
You are not getting best possible preview, rendering possible
orange line over the Timeline content
Above the Timeline is the Work Area Bar with two gray tabs. Those tabs need to span the whole content to be rendered. Are your gray tabs of the Work Area Bar doing that? If not, move them to span the content to be rendered. Keyboard shortcuts are
Alt + [ for the left gray tab at the start of the content
Alt+] for the right gray tab at the end of the content
If none of the above factors into your present situation, you might want to post a screenshot of your Timeline setup in the Expert workspace of your Premiere Elements 12.
Thanks.

to the 1. question:
the supported way would be make a backup to the real file which you can afterwards put to the tape. You can try your way but in this case we don't guarantee that the backup vs. recovery will be successfull.
to the 2. question:
if I understand you right you will try to simulate no-rewind tape with OS tools. As the using of no-rewind tapes for backup and recovery is not supported by us it is your own risk for testing and establishing such kind of backup/recovery.

Hello,
I am working with footage in a timeline that is HD (1440x1080)(16:9), compressor video setting is HDV 1080i60.
To get a higher level of quality, should I change the compressor setting to ProRes LT within the timeline before I export?
Text, photos, and graphics are part of the project and any help would be great.
ThanksProRes LT would make the graphics look better, but it won't improve the quality of the HDV footage. Video quality can't really be improved over the original.
