Shuttle jog wheel to control song position

How do I make a Countour A/V Shuttle XPress USB jog the Logic song position bar ?

The easiest way to control this is to drag the music track in and drop it on the clip where you want it to start. This way, it will show up as a track beneath the video clips. If you drag it in as background, it will fill up all the space, so you have less control.
This video tutorial should help.

Are shuttle/jog type inputs devices helpful?

I remember the good ole days editing on VHS tape. A shuttle/jog wheel was worth it's weight in gold.
Are these still useful? Any particular ones?

I bought a while ago a Shuttle Pro...
.. which, imho, is a useful tool... you can set the many buttons to any action indivually, but foremost, that 'analog ff/rew' is an excellent feature..
I'm very much right-hand orientated, so, I'm moving the mouse with right, but my left hand can easiely scroll, set in- and out-points etc (I'm using the device for FCE too.....)
site seems to be down...:

Shuttle Express jog wheel

Hello there,
I would like to use my +contour design+ Shuttle Express for controlling Logic 8.
But the factory settings for the jog wheel, don't work for jog or scrub.
Does somebody knows how to set the parameters of the jog wheel, to use it for scrubbing audio ?
Or can somebody post his parameters, or settings ?
Thank you

Hi Janak,
So I thought of a decent way to do it using an event structure. I have posted the code and it uses graph instead of a chart. I hope it helps.

Emagic Logic Control jog wheel...

My logic control is was working fine; and then poof - No v pots and no jog wheel - mackie suggested i delete a preferences file; which has bought my v pots back to life...However the jog wheel and the timeline still misbehave...
The line skips back and forth between a couple of bars...and moves forwards jumping backswards and forwards if i spin the wheel really quickly...if, when the line is further into the track i move the jog normal scrolling pace it runs the line backwards towards zero; speed it up and it jumps all over the place.
I rang apple but the wanted to charge me £144.99 for phone advise - so im begging someone here to help me if you can...
Many thanks Dave

its not showing in my audio midi set up - but never has previously...but the device it connects via does show up - From what was said in the quick start guide, you only have to add it as a control surface within logic...Where logic already has the relevant driver; waiting to be selected from a list...As for updating anything; I havn't touched a thing. It was literally a case of one day, everything worked; the next day it didn't - mackie said logic had made a corrupt preference file (user/whatever your user nameis/library/preferences/logic) that their would be a file named should be something like
(Com.apple.logic.pro.CS) which there was, and to drag the file to the trash then restart the
computer...This did work to an extent; the 'v-pot' part of the control which had stopped working came back to life and everything now works fine...accept the jog/timeline issue...
I have added it in Audio Midi set up...in the hope that it will help - What properties should I set it to have? anything special - Appologies for seeming dense, I just make music; normally things just seem to have worked! And my technical knowledge is somewhat lacking im affraid.
Thanks for your help - it really is appriciated

Logic Control Jog Wheel Erratic in 7.1.1, OK in 6.4.3

Rotating the Jog Wheel clockwise causes the SPL to leap to bar 13, 66, 201 and rotating counter-clockwise allows no rewind function except return to zero. I have re-initialized everything including key commands, even re-installing Logic Pro 7.1 and updating to 7.1.1 and no difference. The Logic Control continues to work perfectly under Logic Pro 6.4.3, so this is specifically related to Logic Pro 7 Can anyone offer any help?

Anybody know anything about this??

QuickJog 1.0 - Shuttle/Jog Replacement for Premiere CS6... almost

quickJog 1.0 - "fixing what Adobe broke in CS6"
a shuttle/jog replacement for Premiere/Prelude CS6
* see below for download links and instructions *
Introduction
I'll waste no time in expressing my opinion on this one: I loved the jog control in previous versions of Premiere, and a small part of my heart died when I realised that those beloved controls couldn't be reinstated in CS6 (though an ever larger chunk died when I realised that Q and W don't work by default in Prelude... ).
JKL is great as a concept, but in practice, not very responsive - it's difficult to make precise jumps in speed quickly, and I'd hate to log footage in CS6 using the JKL keys alone.
It was whilst reading through a different thread on the forums that I had an idea. Why not just jog with the middle mouse button? REAPER uses a similar idea to great effect for scrubbing.
And so the journey began.
Installing/using quickJog
Pre-requisites
Glovepie is only available for Windows. The script, therefore, only works on Windows.
Sorry Mac users.
To use quickJog, you'll need to download the following:
GlovePie, from glovepie.org. Doesn't matter whether you grab the version with or without emotiv support, as long as it's a recent version
The quickJog script, from bit.ly/getQuickJog (unreserved thanks go to Creative Inlet Films for hosting this)
A mouse with a middle-mouse button/clickable scroll wheel
You'll also need to ensure:
The JKL keys have not been re-mapped in Premiere. This is essential, as quickJog 'presses' the JKL keys to alter the jog speed in Premiere.
Installation/usage
Is currently as simple as...
Start Glovepie
From the File menu, select Open...
Navigate to wherever you unzipped the quickJog script. Open it.
Click the Run button
Click the [ .] button at the end of the menu bar to minimise Glovepie to the system tray
To shuttle, click on the program monitor, source monitor or trim monitor, and scroll the mouse wheel. This functionality is built-into Premiere. You can hold Shift for bigger jumps.
To jog, click and hold the middle-mouse button over the source monitor, program monitor, or timeline, and move left or right to increase/decrese the jog speed (just like the old jog slider).
QuickJog tracks the position of the mouse itself, not the position of your mouse cursor, so don't worry about the cursor touching the edge of your screen.
Keep your eyes on the video, not the mouse!
To exit, right-click the glovePie icon, and select Exit.
quickJog works in Prelude too, which is pretty cool.
Links/Misc
HOW AWESOME WOULD SOME EXTRA BITS OF INFORMATION BE FOR THE WORLD? Like information on how to tweak the configuration variables??
Pretty awesome, I'd say James. Have you thought about actually writing this section, then?
Paha! Don't be crass.
Aww.

I stand humbly informed!
In hindsight, I'm not surprised that the JKL keys are a popular choice amongst editors (especially for those who've moved across from other NLEs), but it does rest somewhat uncomfortably in my heart. It feels like Adobe have replaced the pedals and gearstick in my car with a keyboard: not great for those moments when a child runs into the road.
The Shuttle Pro (and Bella to my knowledge?) controllers emulate left/right arrow keypresses to do their work, making the playback 'glitchy' during shuttle operations - I don't like that. I didn't particularly like the feel of the Shuttle Pro when I tried it either. I do like controllers like this (I have one), but have been working for some time on interfacing between the Sony 9-pin protocol and Premiere.
As such, my intermediate preference has been to use a graphics tablet (with a keyboard) for NLE work - hence why having the jog/shuttle controls on screen was so darn useful! Now that I have quickJog mapped to the stylus eraser, edits are much faster.
Quick aside: Huge commendations on just how much can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts in Premiere, huzzah!

Jog Wheel on Front Panel

I am searching for a Jog wheel /knob of sorts for controlling user input of time/frequency on the front panel.
What I would like to do is akin to the Jog wheel that we use on ham radio stations to change frequencies/channels etc. Essentially, you can use the same wheel to turn in 0.1 Hz increments, 1 Hz increments ....and even in 1MHz increments.
We need to look at a large amount of waveform data, and I want to have the functionality of moving forward, or backward in time to see different results.
Currently, we use Labview Professional Development System 8.0.1.
Appreciate your help!!

Cannot Control Image Position in RoboHelp When Linking To FM Files

We are using TCS 3.5 on Windows XP Pro. It has taken a lot of work to get our mapping from FM to RH to work correctly, and we now remain with one outstanding task that I cannot figure out: controlling the position of images in the RoboHelp output.
The images appear arbitrarily justified left, center, or right in RoboHelp itself and in help outputs. I should also add that this is happening with both structured and unstructured FM files. Typically, the output I'm working with is WebHelp or WebHelp Pro.
I've turned to the "Object Properties" and "Anchored Frame" pods in FM looking for settings that might be contributing to this behavior, but have not found anything that appears to connect settings there with the image behavior in RH. In the structured FM files, I had some suspicions that complex if/else conditions controlling image position might somehow be contributing to this problem. But the conversion settings in RH don't allow those EDD rules to carry over.
I also turned to the "Conversion Settings" in RH and played with some of the options for "Images" there, unticking or ticking "Use Distiller to Generate Images" and "Do Not Regenerate Images."
Our online help now looks pretty clean, since all the styles are mapped, with the exception being these wonky images everywhere.
I would certainly like to determine the root cause of this behavior, because we're using this FM>RH workflow to create online help systems for hundreds of legacy FM documents that encompass thousands of such images. I want to fix this in the mapping and not touch the original images, if possible
However, if anyone has the answer regarding the best practice for generally controlling image behavior in structutured and unstructured FM to RH, I would be eager to learn these details as well.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

I believe it is. And I have had the same problem with tables.
I made multiple posts about the images trying to describe it in different ways, but all I got were crickets chirping on the forums. I finally called Adobe technical support. Their initial reaction was to show me how image mapping did work correctly with freshly minted FM files and RH project. I had to draw them back into real world scenarios by giving them my source files to recreate the issue. At this point they admitted something was amiss, and one rep even slipped and said it was a “known issue.” They promised to get back to me with a resolution. But despite 4 additional attempts contacting them, and they now just ignore my e-mails.
I am very disappointed in the way Adobe has handled this matter, both from a development and a support standpoint. It would do all of us users a world of good if they admitted these flaws in their release notes, and offered possible workarounds. Maybe there is no workaround, in which case it explains why they don’t admit it? But beyond poor software development and bug fixes, I think it’s sad that they don’t follow up on support.
Adobe seems to assume that tables and images are going to carry over from FM to RH correctly, so you get no fine tune controls, like you do for character and paragraph mapping, and I think this is the crux of the problem.
I got those tables working in my projects just by dumb luck, but I still have no control over them. The images…they still represent a huge problem for our company. We invested an enormous amount of resources into a RH migration, hoping to continue to use FM. But now we have issues with no apparent resolution. It’s making us regret our decision and reconsider our initial considerations to move to MadCap Flare and/or a component content-management system.
If you have any luck making headway with the issue, I would love to know more.

How can I control the positioning of a horizontal line?

Hi - I'm wanting to control the positioning of a horizontal line in Pages. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks.

Adam,
The Metrics Inspector has all the controls for positioning.

Can I dynamically control the position of objects on a printed page?

Forum:
Oracle Developer Reports Builder (10g)
I have a need to control the position of printing on a peel off label in my report. I currently am forced to represent a complex object three times , i.e. LEFT, RIGHT and CENTER, printing whichever is configured in the PRINTER_INFO table of my schema. I am printing to over 200 printers and they all print the location differently.
Also, since printing through the DESTYPE=PRINTER ,vs printing from a displayed PDF have different results, I would have to refresent these three objects yet again, sligh lower and to the right to support label printing from a PDF.
I have seen where Word Macro can dynamically position this same object by using xy coordinates.
Does anyone know how to do something like this in Oracle Reports.
Thx in advance,
Gary
[email protected]

Dora,
Yes, that is exactly what I am doing. As I mentioned, the label object has many elements and they all sit on top of each other when doing the layout. This by itself is messy to work with.
This has been workable so far with regard to generating output to the several hundred printers of different models and firmware.
The output is rarely if ever centered in both x & y axis. We have only been able to use in production by relaxing the rules so that the text only need be within the boundaries of the label.
I also found that to support printing from the PDF view that the text positioning is well out of the label boundaries. I would be forced to create an additional three complex objects in the 'Y' axis. Needless to say this is quite messy.
I do appreciate your input, but your recommendation does not meet the requirements of my project.
I don't believe that Oracle Reports can do this task. I am thinking that BI Publisher can, and am doing "due diligence" before recommending a new reporting platform.
Thx again.
Gary

Can I control the position of the page background image?

Hi All!
My simple question: Can I control the position of the background image for example in a user-made style? I mean can I make the position of the image to center rather then tile? If it possible without editing the html code...

To create a background image for a region create a table nested within that region using the following definition <TABLE WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" MARGIN="0" BORDER="0"> and create an image call integrated into the <TD> tag within said table.

Playlist Song Position in Memory ipod 7th generation

I recently purchased a 7th generation ipod upgrading from a 4th generation which I had for several years. With my 4th generation ipod I would frequently listen to a playlist at work in shuffle mode that would have over a 1,000 songs. This could take about 14 days to completely listen to the entire playlist. If I didn't use the ipod for 3 or 4 days and then want to continue the playlist exactly where I left off, there was no problem.
I've noticed that with my 7th generation ipod, this isn't the case. If I pause a playlist then start it again several days later, the last song that I listened to is ready to play but the playlist starts all over again and treats that song as song 1. However, if I don't wait several days and want to listen to the playlist the next day, the playlist picks up right where it left off.
My question is this: how long does the 7th generation ipod hold a playlist song position in memory? Is there a work around to hold it in memory indefinitely?
Thanks,
Mark

3rd gen nano. Lock click wheel volume control but NOT track control???

My title basically says it all. I have a 3rd gen Nano that I want to use solely for a car and it won't be removed. Problem? The track control has to be done on the iPod itself as the car stereo won't do it, but the volume can be controlled by the car's head unit. That said I want the iPod volume to always be on max. Apparently the volume lock feature isn't what I'm looking for, nor is the hold switch. I want to lock the volume from being controlled by the scroll wheel but still be able to change tracks using the scroll wheel... without having to go into a menu or anything. The iPod will eternally be on shuffle and any track changes will just be skipping songs... and all done blindly just by touch... hence why it's driving me nuts I keep scrolling the volume down. Hope that makes some sense. I'm long-winded and wordy but not always clear. Lol

The system won't seem to let me post this anywhere... it's saying I'm not allowed whatever that means. Exception being this community. So sorry if I pi** everyone off by listing in the wrong location.

Shuffle songs position doesn't work

My iPod doesn't work on the shuffle position, just play songs in order. Anyone could help me???

Unfortunately it just flash an orange light on the led but it doesn't show up in iTunes or on the desktop, no error messages.
Now, after many minutes from the connection, an "Ipod" show up in system Profiler in the "Hardware/USB" line, under "Bus USB" and this is what I can read:
iPod:
ID prodotto:          0x1301
ID fornitore:          0x05ac (Apple Inc.)
Versione:           1.00
Numero di serie:          000A2700110D49C4
Velocità:          Fino a 12 Mb/sec
Produttore:          Apple
ID posizione:          0x04100000
Corrente disponibile (mA):          500
Corrente necessaria (mA):          500
So I start "iPod Reset Utility 1.0.4" but it says "waiting for iPod is ready", but after many minutes the situation does not change, except the intermittence of the orange led.
And "iPod Reset Utility" does not recognize the iPod:
Name (empty)
Serial number (empty)
Software version (Unknown)
Capacity (empty), Used (empty), Free (empty).

Manually Change Song Position in Playlist?

I know that you can drag and drop songs to re-order them in the playlist, but within iTunes, is there a way to change the song's position in the playlist without drag and drop? If not in iTunes, does anyone know of a third party plugin or program that could do this?
The question seems weird at first so I'll add a little background. I have a playlist with ~1,500 songs in it and I want to quickly change the order of newly added songs to the playlist. Adding a new song to the playlist puts it at the very bottom but I may want to put it in the middle instead and dragging and dropping multiple songs in different spots take a bit of time. Not a huge issue, but it would be cool if there was a workaround

Many Thanks. When I tell you I tried dragging the songs around and "that" sounds fishy, just know that I had to Re-Boot twice just to get iTunes to Open today via Desktop Shortcut. Apparently, my song order attempt coincided with a rare glitch that disappeared.
Thanks again.
