Timeline Slider Question

Is there any settings I can change so that the timeline window/viewer follows the slider during playback instead of staying still?

No, unfortunately not. However, you can zoom out so that you can see a larger portion of the timeline during playback, or just scroll manually.

Missing Timeline Slider

Hi there, Happy New Year,
My timeline slider has vanished, very odd!
Only on the laptop though, even when pluggin in an external monitor. iMac upstairs has a fully functional slider. Both are running 10.1 and latest OS.
I've attached a grab - any idea?
Thanks!

Ah, you mean in the OS System Preferences - not the FCPX General Prefs ... cool.

Timeline Slider Problem

hello,
I'm having a problem with my timeline slider everything works great on it until I try and hide it when going to a new page in the flash. There are two pages, a homepage with the timeline and second page with the timeline hidden. When going to the second page I want to have the timeline slide off the document. When I do this it causes the timeline slider tab position to jump back to the beginning of the timeline before sliding off screen. I can't seem to figure out how to preserve the slider tab position before the timeline moves off screen.
Originally the slider tab of the timeline animates onto screen using a traditional tween after running this as2:
var enableTicker = false;
var tickerMc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("tickerMc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
tickerMc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if(enableTicker) {
if((timebutton._x > 35) && (timebutton._x <= 70)) {
if((_root._currentframe != 46) && (_root._currentframe != 45)) {
theframe = "frame1920";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 70) && (timebutton._x <= 140)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 47) {
theframe = "frame1930";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 140) && (timebutton._x <= 208)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 48) {
theframe = "frame1940";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 208) && (timebutton._x <= 275)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 49) {
theframe = "frame1950";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 275) && (timebutton._x <= 345)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 50) {
theframe = "frame1960";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 345) && (timebutton._x <= 413)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 51) {
theframe = "frame1970";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 413) && (timebutton._x <= 481)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 52) {
theframe = "frame1980";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 481) && (timebutton._x <= 547)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 53) {
theframe = "frame1990";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 547) && (timebutton._x <= 610)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 54) {
theframe = "frame2000";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
if((timebutton._x > 610) && (timebutton._x <= 690)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 55) {
theframe = "frame2010";
//_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
//trace(timebutton._x);
At the end of the tween the slider tab has this as2:
on (press) {
if(init) {
startDrag("timebutton", false, 32, 440, 637, 440);
if(!dragHelpInit) {
dragHelpInit = true;
_root.dragHelp.gotoAndPlay("hideDrag");
dragging = true;
usingDrag = true;
on (release) {
if(init) {
stopDrag();
if((timebutton._x > 31) && (timebutton._x <= 100)) {
if((_root._currentframe != 46) && (_root._currentframe != 45)) {
theframe = "frame1920";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
if((timebutton._x > 100) && (timebutton._x <= 170)) {
trace("i'm here");
if(_root._currentframe != 47) {
theframe = "frame1930";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("and here");
//_root.gotoAndStop("frame1930");
if((timebutton._x > 170) && (timebutton._x <= 235)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 48) {
theframe = "frame1940";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
if((timebutton._x > 235) && (timebutton._x <= 303)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 49) {
theframe = "frame1950";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
if((timebutton._x > 303) && (timebutton._x <= 373)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 50) {
theframe = "frame1960";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
if((timebutton._x > 373) && (timebutton._x <= 443)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 51) {
theframe = "frame1970";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
if((timebutton._x > 443) && (timebutton._x <= 508)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 52) {
theframe = "frame1980";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
if((timebutton._x > 508) && (timebutton._x <= 573)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 53) {
theframe = "frame1990";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
if((timebutton._x > 573) && (timebutton._x <= 630)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 54) {
theframe = "frame2000";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
if((timebutton._x > 630) && (timebutton._x <= 720)) {
if(_root._currentframe != 55) {
theframe = "frame2010";
_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
trace(timebutton._x);
dragging = false;
Now when I try to animate it off screen it obviously jumps back to the initial position because I'm basically just using the same key frames, but reversed. Does anyone know how I can preserve the position of this slider tab?

Just to get this out of the way early, as a test, make sure that the Timeline Panel has focus, and try the Spacebar again. While the Timeline will play, with many other Panels having focus, I have encountered times, where, say focus on the Project Panel, will not allow the Timeline to play.
In PrPro, there is an orange border around any Panel with focus, but PrE is not so easy to spot, unless you are looking at the Timeline Panel's border, when you click on it, and notice a very subtle (I mean VERY subtle) change.
Good luck,
Hunt

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?

As a preemptory response...yes I am in touch with AJA engineers as well to try and get an answer to this question

Timeline ripple question

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
Van

If 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.

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.
iMac, Premiere Pro 5.5

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,

Meter / slider questions - cluster names, changing needle colour

OK, so a couple of questions about meters /sliders.
I have a meter indicator on a form, with two needles. (example attached)
I want to create the cluster for the input using "bundle by name", but the meter "cluster" does not appear to have any names. I want the elements of the cluster to be "Channel 1" and "Channel 2" - how do I do this?
Secondly, I want to be able to set the needles to transparent.
I can do this with a meter with only one needle, but for more than one, I think you need to set the Active slider ("Actslider") property.
It strikes me that the easiest way to do this is to use a loop, but how do I discover how many needles the meter has? Or could I use the cluster names to s
pecify which needle I want to change colour?
TIA

Slider_Cluster_Question_for_Labview_Forum.vi ‏14 KB

Thank you both for the responses, and apologies for the tardy reply - changing priorities, etc, etc, you know how it is...
I've attached a Vi to act as an example for anyone else who has either of these problems.
The main thing I found out is that although you can, as you say, use a constant to "declare" the cluster names for the gauge, these names are only "remembered" by the wire - if you create a local variable of the gauge, it will NOT remember the cluster names. That's what had me confused...
Cheers

Resize slide question

I am trying to convert a slide show that is in a 4x3 aspect ratio to a custom 8x3 aspect ratio. I have changed the slide size from 1024x768 to 2048x768, and that works fine.
However, I need to old 4x3 slide content to be on the left side; currently is seems to default to centering it on the new, larger format.
Is there any way to accomplish this?

Image Slider Question

So this is my HTML. I am using a JS image slider.
I am trying to get the image slider to be full screen and scale to 100% in the window. Weither it is full screen or smaller.
The width works perfectly, but when i make the height 100% it doesnt work.. px's work fine, but thats not exactly what i want to have.
Here is the CSS

I have used this in the past to get 100% height, I don't know if there's anything inherantly wrong with it, it validates, so at least there's that.
Adding in style="height:100%;" to the <html><body> and any other parent element of the one you want to be 100% will make it 100% of the window size. It takes a little reorganizing/positioning if you have something you want to be 100% burried too far into other elements.
Here's an example...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html style="height:100%;">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Todd is 100 Percent</title>
</head>
<body style="margin:0; height:100%;">
    <div style="height:100%;">
        <div id="todd" style="height:100%; background-color:blue;">some stuff</div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
In this example, the todd div will be 100% of the window size. If you add any content before todd though, you may want to reorganize the layout because todd will stay 100% even after it's dropped down the page by other content, so you can end up with a scroll bar vertically.
EDIT: Had wrong doctype.

Importing Powerpoint slides question

I'm working on one of my first paying gigs as an editor. It's a weekend seminar about Accupuncture. Much of what was presented during the seminar accompanied a Powerpoint presentation.
Now that I'm editing it down I'd like to take individual slides from the PP presentation and include them in the video. However, I am unsuccessful in importing the files for use.
Is it possible to use PP slides in FCP?
thanks!
G4 Dual 1.25 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Open the PPT file in Powerpoint. Go to File->Save As and choose an image type from the 'Save As Type' menu ... I prefer TIF but you can choose JPG or PNG as well. Make sure you choose to save "Every Slide", not just the current one. Also make sure you create a folder to save them in so they'll all be grouped together.
In FCP, set the still frame duration you want the slides to have in FCP's preference. Next, go to File->Import->Folder and navigate to the folder of slides.

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.

Timeline Compression Question

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.
Thanks

ProRes 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.

CS5 Timeline Panel Question.

Seems I always have a few stray "timeline no sequence tabs" in my timeline panel whenever I start a new project. Anybody know the reason for that? Only a minor annoyance to x them out. But what might I be doing to cause this?
TIA points will awarded.

Right. I think this only affects new projects; if you were to open a project that only has one sequence after your project with six sequences, you'd get only one sequence tab. However, creating a new project would create a timeline panel with as many sequence tabs as were open in the previous project.
Note that this also affects the Project Panel: if you open bins into tabs, you'll get much the same behavior. Drove me crazy the first time I saw it--my new project opened up with something like 8 Project Panel tabs!
Thanks for the points. I think I'll redeem them for a milkshake.

Timeline Slideshow question

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)
