Time remap tool not responding

For some reason I can't use my Time remap tool. I select it and nothing happens. Does anyone have any answers?
John

Bogiesan,
Yes I have done the tutorials and have used the time remap tool before. I'm certified pro level one. I have not used the tool outside of the advanced Apple Pro Training series. I'm actually using the pages in the DigitalFilm Tree (P.179-180) as a guide for my own stuff and it is the only tool on the palette that will not respond to the click of the mouse.

  • New development with time remap tool

    It turns out my time remap tool works just fine in other projects just not this one. I do have alot of still shots with some motion graphics which is starting to extend my render times extensively. My question is, how do I solve this rendering time problem? Is there a way manage rendered footage better? Compress it? I'm new to this motion graphics and would appreciate any help.
    thanx

    John,
    Keyframing smooth moves takes a little bit of practice and a BIG Canvas window to really see what you're doing. You'll be using the Canvas window and the Motion tab of the Viewer window a lot for this.
    Once you have the Canvas window up-sized (but still keep it at "Fit to Window" or smaller), set it to Image+Wireframe mode. When you click on or highlight a clip in the Timeline, you should see the Wireframe for that clip in the Canvas window (as long as the playhead remains over that clip). But first, double click a clip in the Timeline to load it into the Viewer window then open the Motion tab.
    Depending on what you want to do, you can approach most keyframed motion tasks two ways; move the Wireframe in the Canvas window, or enter values in the Viewer window. I usually do a bit of both.
    When you set a keyframe that shows up as a green dot (Scale, Rotation, Crop, Opacity, etc), you can right-click on that keyframe and select "Smooth" from the contextual menu. You'll see the purple bezier handles added to the keyframe. You can leave them as they are, or you can move those handles to manipulate the desired action. But for items like the Center control (black dot keyframe), you don't have this option in the Viewer window. Say you want to move the center point over the duration of the clip. Set the beginning and ending keyframe - or just set the beginning keyframe then move the playhead to the end point and manually drag the Wireframe in the Canvas window to the new location and FCP will automatically add a new keyframe. You should now see the path of the clip shown in the Canvas window displayed as dotted line. Right-click on the end or beginning keyframe and select "Ease In/Ease Out" from the contextual menu. Now you should see the same purple bezier handles added. Again, you can use the handles to smooth out movement, or slow down or accelerate a clip (by extending or shortening the length of the handle). If you have a multiple keyframed motion path, you can make wonderfully smooth curves with the bezier handles.
    For more info, look up Bezier in the user's manual, or better yet, go to Amazon.com and buy Kevin Monahan's book; "Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Pro."

  • Firefox won't open when prompted the first time. Says "Not Responding". I have to hit cntrl/alt/del then try starting again. Sometimes multiple times.

    Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:

  • Very annoying Time Capsule problem - Not responding

    Hi,
    I have a really annoying problem with my Time Capsule and/or network setup. Although I did huge research on this matter, I still have no solution for the problem, nor any more ideas how to get rid of this misbehavior.
    First of all, I would like to introduce a draft of my current network setup with all included clients, switches and routers:
    As you can see, I have 3 Apple computers, 1 Windows 7 client, a Canon MX895 network printer, the said time capsule and an AVM Fritz!Box WLAN Router for internet access.
    Both MacBooks are WiFi connected to the Fritz! which serves as the central WLAN accesspoint with simultaneous 2.4/5 GHz. The interconnection between the Fritz! and the Time Capsule is a wired 100MBit. Also it manages the IP adresses via DHCP enabled.
    The Windows PC, iMac and MX895 are directly connected to the remaining 3 network ports of the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule is a 2ng gen one equipped with a Samsung 2TB drive. WiFi on the Time Capsule is disabled. Firmware is 7.6.3
    And here is the problem description:
    After adding the Time Capsule to the network, there was no problem configuring it as a switch with Time Machine sharing available to the 3 Macs. Everything worked as expected... until...
    ...the Time Capsule does not respond any more. In more detail:
    The LED of the capsule is still green, not blinking or amber!
    I can access the capsule with Airport Utility but as soon as I try to do a remote restart, the Time Capsule is not responding any more.
    First I thought: "Okay, probably there has happened something" but I didn't care much about it and did a restart by pulling the power cord out and plug it back in after some seconds. Then it seems to work again... for some hours/days...
    ...then it happened again:
    My MacBook's Time Machine tells me that "the network drive does not respond", "...does not exist" or "...identity has changed". It seems to happen randomly, I don't have a clue what is causing this!
    What I have tried to fix this:
    Tried another Time Capsule (1st gen) with the same hard drive
    Tried this 1st gen with another Samsung 2TB HD
    Reset the 1st and 2nd gen TC and started with fresh backups
    Tried different TC settings, like transfering DHCP from the Fritz! to the TC, fixed IP
    Reset the complete Time Machine settings on all Macs and configured it again
    At the moment I'm trying, if a specific Mac in the network causes the issue by disabling the automatic Time Machine backups. I checked the TC log with the old Airport Utility - there is no error.
    I know, this is a bit strange and maybe I make some mistake, but I don't know what to do next. Maybe someone has an idea or can give me a hint what to try.
    Any help is very appreciated.
    Thanks
    Alex

    I don't see anything wrong in your setup.
    Unfortunately I think this is just network bug in mountain lion and the TC.. this is fairly common that the two will lose connection and a reboot will get things perked up again for times varying from a few hours to days or weeks.
    I don't have a bug killing solution either sorry to say.
    Let me recommend a few things.
    1. Do not use 7.6.3 firmware on those old TC.. go back to 7.5.2
    It has proven much more reliable. Do a factory reset after you flash back and redo the setup from scratch.
    2. Names on the TC for network sharing to be kept short, no spaces pure alphanumeric. Do not use apple type names with spaces and particularly the apostrophe.
    3. Whichever is running dhcp.. it should normally be the Fritz though, set dhcp lease to a very short time.. eg 30min. This will get the lease renewal faster and hopefully keep the ARP tables in the computers updated.
    4. But even though the TC is in bridge it should have a static IP address. That can help so you can link not just to the TC by name but also by IP address. The static IP is better handled by the Fritz though via fixed host type setting.. I am sure the fritz offers that.
    5. Just as a matter of interest why keep the link between the fritz and the TC to 100mbit.. both can do gigabit? It has nothing to do with the problem and there is nothing in the current setup that needs more than 100mbit link unless you are getting super speed on the 5ghz from the fritz. 
    Your post and picture of network are excellent.. helps when you are so clear.

  • Aperture tools not responding

    I should have specified that I had aperture, not aperture 2, so sadly the "p" key did not work

  • Time Remap expression not working when targeting parent.parent comp.

    I created a character rig and I'm trying to set it up so most of the keyframing is done on the main comp instead of the sub comps. Most of the body is set up in the main comp except the head which is in its own sub comp. In this Head_Comp, i have two more sub comps, SideHead_Comp, and FrontHead_Comp. In both of these comp i have the head base, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, etc.   The mouth is in its own comp set to time remap from the head comps.
    Quick Breakdown:
    Body_Comp
              > Head Comp
                             >FrontHead_Comp
                             >SideHead_Comp
                                            >Mouth_Comp
    What I'm trying to do is be able to animate the mouth comp from the main body comp. I've done this with the eyes and eyebrows using dummy objects on the main comp, but when I try to "parent" the time remap of the mouth comp from each of the head comps to a slider in the body comp, nothing happens. The mouth comp will take the current position of the of the slider value and that's it, it won't change if I move the slider around. I'm doing it this way to avoid having a bunch of different copies of the head comps when I'm animating different scenes. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong.
    Here is the expression I used.
    a=comp("Diane - AE Rig").layer("Body_CTL").effect("Mouth_Control")("Slider")
    framesToTime(a)
    I've tried different expressions, but all it does is change to the current value and thats it. It won't move when I move the slider.
    Thanks for any help.

    If one or more of your subcomps doesn't start at time zero as a layer in its parent comp, you have to compensate for that. It's tricky with multiple levels, but basically you end up with something like this:
    a=comp("Diane - AE Rig").layer("Body_CTL").effect("Mouth_Control")("Slider")
    framesToTime(a.valueAtTime(time + some_offset))

  • HT5148 Protranscoder Tool not responding. What is the problem and how can I resolve the issue?

    Why is the Protranscoer Tool always show not responding? I see the CPU is almost full when I am sharing to Blue Ray or Master File, and it shows the Protranscoder tool and the QTKit server not responding.

    Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem.

  • Why is my direct selection tool not responding?

    I have Creative suit 5.5 upgraded last year but cannot use ID as a couple of the application tools including direct selection tool just dfont respond. Any ideas?

    Thank you. Please see InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)
    If you have large fonts enabled in Windows 7 interface customization you cannot run an Aero theme with ID. You can leave the large fonts and use a classic theme, or return the font size to normal and keep the Aero theme.

  • Illustrator CC2014 zoom and eyedropper tools not responding correctly?

    Ever since the upgrade, I'm not able to control these functions as I have in the past, using Option + zoom and Option + eyedropper turns the tool into the hand.  Any ideas?

    Try re-assigning a keyboard shortcut for the zoom in, but this time try to assign the plus sign at the right hand side of the keyboard not the one next to the backspace.

  • My iphone 4 has frozen. I can not slide to unlock nor shut the phone down. It flashes the apple logo from time to time but will not respond to the touch screen.

    My iphone 4 has frozen while I held the button down to try and access voice command. Now it will not allow me to slide and unlock. Won't respond to the shut down button on top nor any touch screen commands. The apple logo appears from time to time but mostly it shows my wallpaper and the time. Can you help me out ?

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Text Tool not Responding

    I'm just getting a horizontal line when I try to type a letter in Photoshop CS6.  No Brush Presets it seems. I was previously Painting in PS CS6.
    I use Apple  OS X Ver 10.8. 
    How do I fix it?  I'm not sure I'm in the right Forum but any help will be appreciated

    Is the type tool set to the same colour as the background?  Is the text size tiny?  Try OKing your line of text, and using Free Transform to enlarge it.
    To do it properly, oepn your image size panel and see what the linear dimesions of the image are.  If it is something daft like ten miles by 8 miles, and the DPI is set to 1, uncheck resample and change the dpi to something like 300.  
    I like to set preferences so that type size defaults to milimetres (or inches).  That way I can predict how big type will appear on an image document.

  • Time Expired will not respond

    My son has been using his Ipad, and now it is displaying "Time Expired  A time limit of 1 minute has been set for guided access. Triple Click to enter the Guided Access passcode."  I have no idea what it is talking about.  I have tried to click the home button 3 times, I've tried to tap the screen 3 times and nothing happens.  I've tried to turn it of and restart it, but it will not turn off.  HELP PLEASE!

    If you press the home and power buttons at the same time for 15 seconds it will force the device to reboot and close guided access.

  • Time machine does not respond when entered for file recovery

    When I enter time machine, the expected display appears but there is no response when trying to move time back, select a file or exit, even with Cmd Q.
    I can only get back to a useable screen by powering down or using Cmd+Alt+Esc.
    I was able to use TM to restore old files about 6 months ago, but only after restarting system.

    Welcome to Discussions.
    Select your Time Machine drive in the finder and do a Get Info (command-i). The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it isn't you will need to reformat the drive. This will erase it so copy any files you need from the drive first. Directions for formatting your Time Machine drive are in this article. People with PPC Macs should substitute Apple Partition Map for GUID when following the directions.
    If Time Machine doesn't automatically ask you to use the drive you can choose it for Time Machine backups by going to System Preferences > Time Machine > Change Disk.
