Simple Title question

Sorry, but as my ID indicates, I'm new here.
I was wondering about a title where two lines of text are 2 different sizes. Do you have to make a whole different title on another video track for the 2nd one, or is there a way to have both lines be the same title. I couldn't find any info on this in the help or manual..so I'm sorry if it seems basic.
Thanks.

You could use FCP's built in 'Lower 3rd' text selection from the drop down at bottom right of your Viewer window.
This allows for two lines of text (which can be different sizes) and an underneath layer...bar or solid or none.
Play around with it a bit. Bear in mind that FCP's internal text generator is a bit weak and you'll have best results by using san-serif fonts, a minimum of 20 point size and keeping the positioning of the text on even numbered lines in the 'y' center axis of the motion tab...or in the 'y' axis of the origin in the Controls tab.
That's probably the easiest and quickest way.

you titled "simple quick question"...
.. complicated to answer..
a) the TermsOfUse of the iTS don't allow any processing of purchased files, these are "copy protected"..
b) iM has a voice-over function..
c) iM is a video-edit app.. easy to use... just learn to handle it...
d) iM allows to "extract" audio (=muting the original audio, adding your own..)
e) to learn iM, spend some time here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html
f) use pencil and paper first! WRITE and scribble, what shall happen when in your movie/parody... make a script, draw a storyboard .. THEN launch iM.. in other words: think first, then edit.. iM is just a tool, it does not "create"... Picasso needed a papertowel and half a stencil to create art....
g) to get comfortable with iM, start with your own, small, short (3min!) project... import some stills, edit them, add a funny voice-over, add sounds, add music... good? make a bigger one...
h) .. in our Lecture II, we teach you how to import shows from TV, youtube, wherever..

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

erjoalgo wrote:
I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

A few simple Logic questions...please help.

I have a few probably simple Logic questions, that are nonetheless frustrating me, wondering if someone could help me out.
1. I run Logic 8, all of the sounds that came with logic seem to work except organ sounds. I can't trigger any organ sounds (MIDI) on Logic, they won't play. I have a Yamaha Motif as my midi controller.
Any idea why?
2. I've starting running into a situation where I will record a MIDI track, the notes are recorded but they won't playback. The only track effected is the one that was just recorded. All other midi tracks playback.
I have to cut the track, usually go out of Logic and back in, re record for it to playback properly. Any idea why this may be happening?
3. How important is it to update to Logic 9. Are there any disadvantages down the road if I don't upgrade. If I purchase the $200 upgrade, do I get a package of discs and material, or it just a web download.
Any help is appreciated!

Why do I have to render simple titles in Premiere 6?

Hey People...I just got a brand new smokin' MAC with Premiere Pro 6...have been editing with Premiere for 10+ years...why do I have to render simple titles??? I could have three layers of video and not have to render, but a simple title needs to be rendered???!!! WHY?? This did not happen in all previous versions of Premiere that I used...which leads me to believe it's some sort of setting issue...HELP ME PLEASE:)

Titles, rather like Still Images in the Timeline, are "synthetic Video," so for the ultimate playback, one would Render them. Now, I seldom find playback of Un-Rendered Titles to be an issue, and usually on do so, if I have adjusted, say Effect>Motion>Position, or Motion>Scale, or similar. Then, I might Render that portion of the Timeline, and maybe several times, if I am adjusting the Effects' parameters.
Good luck,
Hunt

Simple title takes forever to render in FCP X...stumped

I have 2008 (2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) MacPro desktop with 8 GB of RAM and 1 Terabyte hard drive that's 70% free.
I'm running FCP X on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and can't figure out why a simple animated title from the Titles menu in FCP X is taking forever to render.
I dropped it into the timeline 10 minutes ago and it's still 0% rendered. Nothing's going on in the Background tasks window. Under Rendering it still says 0% rendered after 10 minutes.
What could possibly be going on that FCP X can't perform a simple title render ("Gradient Center") from within its own program?
I must be doing something wrong, otherwise has anyone anyone else encountered this problem?

Check your settings in Final Cut Pro->Preferences->Playback. Do you have Background Rendering turned on? If not you can force a render from the Modify menu.
Notice in the preferences there is a time setting for background render. It won't render until you stop working and then it will wait for the time specified. Even if it starts rendering, if you begin working again it will stop.

Just simple titles causes long render times

Lately I have noticed that adding simple titles really seems to take a very long time. These are not complex titles. They do have a border, but 10 minutes for a 1:30 tiltle over just one layer of video? What's going on here?
Best,
Tom

Obviously 10 minutes for a "simple" title is ridiculous so there must be something unusual about your project and workflow.
It will be impossible to guess what those factors may be without detailed relevant info on the title and project specs.

SIMPLE titles in livetype

hello all,
how do i make simple titles with NO animation. i just want the text to fade in, stay for a few seconds, then fade out. nothing more. i tried this in livetype but the only choices it gave me were cheesy animated ones. thanks,
keegan

The easiest thing is just to make your own effects. A fade in takes about five seconds to make.
Just create a new effect, click on the first keyframe, and set the opacity to 0%.
That's it.
The built-in effects are great as sources of inspiration and as instructional tools to get you started, but they have drawbacks: the best ones are used by lots of people, so you should avoid them if you want a unique look, and it's usually faster to make your own effect rather than to try to tweak the built-in ones.
On the other hand, saving your own hand-crafted effects so that you can reuse them is a fantastic feature.

Simple query question

hi all,
I have a XMLType table with one column - I have presently one row, in my column xmlsitedata I have stored one large xml file.The schema definition is given below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
- <xs:element name="siteList">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="site" type="siteType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
- <xs:complexType name="siteType">
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="nameEn" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="nameFr" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="code" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
I have executed the query below:
select x.XMLSITEDATA.extract('/siteList/site/nameEn/text()').getCLOBVal() "stName" from wsitelist x;
and I get all english names of some 200 locations, however, there is 1 row selected and all names show up on one row. How do I split them into 200 or whatever rows?
Thanks,
Kowalsky

Workflow for adding 300+ simple titles

Hi,
I'm about to start a new project that involves adding about 300+ kids names to each 1 minute video segment of each child. When it's finished I'll deliver on 4 DVDs.
I'll occasionally need to move sections of kids between sequences so that each DVD is about equal in length. I want to make sure the title stays with the child.
I know how to do this in the simple case -- place my segments in the timeline, add a second video track. Then repeat x300:
In the viewer choose Generators->Text->Text.
Click "Controls"
Click in the "SAMPLE TEXT" area.
Type the kid's name over the words "Sample Text".
Click "Video"
Move the wireframe down so that it's in the lower third.
Click on the duration.
Change the duration to 3 seconds.
Apple-2 to bring up the canvas.
Apple-F10 to overwrite (Don't ask me why it's not plain F10 as the mouseover hint implies, I can't figure that out)
' ' to move to the next edit point.
My question is, is there a way to improve this workflow and make it more efficient? I intend to also name the segments with the child's name, so that I can find them easily if that parent requests an individualized cut. (Right now they all have names like "Segment 39 from Saturday Tape 02") Ideally I'd like to pull the "SAMPLE TEXT" text from the name of the segment, so that I only have to type each name once, while naming the segment.
Is there a way to save my text settings and bring them up quickly with keyboard shortcuts? I can't figure out how to get a keyboard shortcut to get to the "Controls" tab of the Viewer window.
Thank you,
--Beth

I asked our PowerPoint geek about this and he said:
If all you have is a hammer...
Thanks for trying though.
The solution posted eariler is much simpler, creating the list in word still requires the TAB keystrokes to get to the next entry, and it doesn't have the integration of "What am I looking at as I title this?"
The solution above is basically "Do some setup, then:
Type the kid's name.
Tab.
F10.
Cmd-1
Tab.
Type next kid's name, 5 keystrokes, type next kid's name, 5 keystrokes...
It's very easy. I've even re-mapped "bring up the viewer" (previously Cmd-1) to the semicolon to mimize multi-finger keystrokes.
Speaking of minimizing multi-finger keystrokes, I attempted to re-map "Edit Marker" in the browser (orignially some combo involving M) to a single keystroke, but nothing I tried worked. I tried the letter 'g' and 'y' and 'r' and a few others, but most seemd to jump me either ahead or back in the browser list. I found a workaround while searching for a solution, but I'm still wondering if anyone knows why this is?
For completeness, the reason I was doing this is that my original footage is captured as one complete chunk then markers added with DV start stop detect. I wanted to make sub-clips and have them have reasonable names, but there was no keyboard shortcut to do that (or so I thought) so I was editing the marker names using a re-mapped CMD-G, but I wanted it to no longer need the CMD in front.
When seeking a solution for that problem I learned that hitting the ENTER key on the numeric keypad will allow me to edit a subclip name directly, which is actually better for my purposes.
Thanks again for all the help!! (Even in forums where I didn't ask the question, only searched for answers)
--Beth
PS. People reading this far into the thread are probably efficiency nuts like me, so I thought I'd share that the reason I used CMD-G to edit the marker is that I name each one with the reel and segment number followed by the text name. For the reel and segment number I cut (CMD-C) the first one, then paste it as the default name in the field for each subsequent marker, changing only the last digit. i.e. "01-003 Firstname Lastname" I cut-and-paste the "01-00" portion. I'd hold down on CMD and hit 'gv' and type the digit and the name.

Simple selector question

Don't know why I can't figure this out, but In my html page I have the following simple text which are directions to an office:
<div id="maincontent">
   <p>FROM THE
        LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY: Get off at exit 37, Willis Ave. Then follow the directions below
    from the <font color="#FF3300">*</font>.<br />
        <br />
        FROM THE
        NORTHERN STATE: Going eastward, get off at exit 28S, Willis Ave. If going
        westward, get off at exit 28, Willis Ave. Then follow the directions below
    from the <font color="#FF3300">*</font>.<br />
    <br />
        <font color="#FF0000">*</font> Turn
        South onto Willis Ave. for approximately 3 miles. Cross over Jericho Tpk (Rt.
        etc. etc. etc. etc.
</p>
</div>
#maincontent p       is defined in an external css file and has the property text-align:center   and I did it this way since I use this in other pages on the site. However, on this particular page, I would like this p text to be left aligned. If I'm in the CSS portion of the property inspector, and select the text of the paragraph and then click on the left alignment icon in the property inspector, a box opens up where it asks me to define a new compund rule and asks me to name it, and gives me the starting point of      #maincontent p
My question is what should I type in this box as the name (which I'll use only in this page so I'll check that checkbox) so that I can then continue on and choose left aligned from the choices that follow. Thanks.

Here is the code for the page (line 72 is the line you had me put in and I've bolded it for you), and the css you told me was put at the very end of the external css file.

Simple scripting question

OK, so I'm fairly sure this is a simple scripting issue, but I just cannot get my head around the scripting language.
I am working on a DVD where the viewer has the option of watching the track once or having it loop continuously.
There is not enough space on the disc to duplicate the track so that is not an option.
Any help would e much appreciated.
Tony

This is a perfectly scenerio for Stories. It allows you to duplicate a title without increasing the space. Look in the manual and have a go at it. Come back if you have questions.
