Timeline troubles

Hello!
I am a fairly new user of Captivate and am running into some
timing problems. I am using Captivate 2.0. I inserted an animation,
another published captivate file (.swf), into a second captivate
project. The animation I inserted has rollover captions and are
setup to show for 200 seconds. When viewing the animation captivate
file the rollover images look perfect. When inserted into the new
captivate project the rollover captions display for approximately 5
seconds only. The particular slide in the captivate project is set
to show for 220 seconds. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly?

Hi SMTrainer and welcome to our community
Sorry, but I'm a bit confused. Where are things set for 200
seconds? The whole of the Captivate .SWF that has the rollovers
before you drop it into the second Captivate? Or the slide where
the .SWF with the rollovers has been inserted?
One thing I would suggest for this type of situation is to
configure the first Captivate, the one with the rollovers, so that
the slide has a Click Box object on it to keep it in a paused
state. The Click Box doesn't need to do anything if clicked by the
user. Just choose "No Action". This should keep it paused and allow
the rollover interaction. Then you could time that slide for
perhaps 3 to 5 seconds. Then when you publish that and drop it on
the new Captivate slide, sort of repeat that process. Insert a
Click Box or Button that pauses the slide. Then you don't have to
monkey around with making things 200 or 220 seconds. You would then
limit to 3 to 5 seconds and things should work.
Hopefully something here helped in some way... Rick

Timeline Troubles CS4

I'm sure it's a simple fix but my timeline won't allow me to drag or play the project. I'm using a Macbook Pro, circa 2009 if that makes any difference. On a new project I can add things to the time line, move them around but when I try to drag or arrow the TCI won't budge. The timeline seems to have blocks at 10 second intervals where I can click to the next block. When I try to play back, say a solid moving from left to right all that happens is a rapid jumping back and forth. Been to the help pages, been on the Cow pages and am still asking for the solution.
Any clues?
Just launched AE and discovered I'm looking at one frame intervals, not 10 seconds. That explains why I get the jumping from frame 0 to frame 1. Then I tried using the zoom out slider and nothing happened. Didn't resize the timeline. Still trying to figure it out if anyone has some thoughts...
Sorry for posting. The fix was paying attention to the duration of the comp, which was set at 3 frames. Duh!

Someone would have to look at the file to tell you what's
wrong.
Post a link to the files to get help. (Even just the swf file

Timeline Trouble

Hi, I am thinking this has to be an easy answer but after not being able to figure it out for the last several hours, it's time to post. How do I get the main time line and all of the symbol timelines to stop at say 500ms and then have them all start up again after a click event or mouseover event? Right now, the main timeline stops and then will continue on the click event. However all the symbol timelines contine on.
Thank you in advance for shedding any light on this for me. -Matt
Here is my code:
(function($, Edge, compId){
var Composition = Edge.Composition, Symbol = Edge.Symbol; // aliases for commonly used Edge classes
   //Edge symbol: 'stage'
   (function(symbolName) {
      Symbol.bindTriggerAction(compId, symbolName, "Default Timeline", 3500, function(sym, e) {
         // stop the timeline at the given position (ms or label)
         sym.stop(3500);
         // insert code here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindTriggerAction(compId, symbolName, "Default Timeline", 250, function(sym, e) {
         // stop the timeline at the given position (ms or label)
         sym.stop(250);
         // insert code here

Hi, Matt-
You're going to have to manage your symbol instances separately; part of the power of independent timelines in symbols is that stopping one timeline does not stop the other. So, if you have multiple symbols that you want to stop, you're going to have to do something like this:
sym.getSymbol("mySymbolInstance1").stop();

About HD Imovie timeline troubles

Hello,guys.
I think that I wan't descriptive enough when I posted before. Sorry,I dont know what else to discribe except that I am using ILife '05. Also I downloaded an Imovie upgrade for my version 5.0.2 last night and today I had a crash while using Imovie.
Info of the failure took over the screen and I took a picture of it which I downloaded to Iphoto after I shutdown/and turned it on again. Everything its working fine except Imovie. I reads "corrupt stack"! on the top.I really need to know where to start to get rid of these corrupted stack, someone that could interpret all this data.
Since I have no clue on how to upload it or if it is permmited here,I have no choice but to send it through email to somone. If you would like to help please contact me to [email protected]
Thank you for your patience.

Hi
As I remember it this is a "bug" and only way around is this.
• Select clip A and clip B
• Go up to Advance menu and select Extract Audio
• Now go to text tool - insert text - drag the tool name to where the text
should start in TimeLine
Now it will not tuch the audio.
Text can only be dropped where there is a sceen/clip brake.

HD IMovie timeline troubles

Hello, everyone!
Lately, when play my project the playhead skips and jumps over every picture and AVIs. My first project whent all perfect but now it wont even go smoothly over transitions.

Timeline troubles/question

Hi!
I have some questions..
(See image for more information...)
1.When the animation plays reverse, i want it to play faster..
Is there any way I can do this? By code maybe?
2.Also. When the animation played backwards, and then forewards again I want it to stop at 'mouseover'.
How can I do this?
If i put a trigger stop between them, it also stopt when it is playing backwards.
I really hope someone knows how to do this!
Thankyou,
Kind regards, Ellen

1. I have suggested a solution to this on your other post.
2. Add the stop() as a mouseEnter/mouseOver event on the symbol that is being animated that will stop the playhead at its current location, a mouseLeave play() will restart the animation but in the 'play' direction, You could then use a variable to determine which direction the playhead was moving and always send it in the same direction when mousing out, if you need/want it to do that. Hope this helps

Trouble with shortcuts in Timeline

Please help me!
I'm using Motion 4 but I've got some troubles last time with shortcuts. I select an object and push Shift+I (or O) to move playhead to In position but my playhead moves to some other place in Timeline. The same problem with the Shift+O.
But in my other computer everything works fine.
Maybe you'll help me, I hope
Thank you
PS Oh, by the way... is there any shortcuts to change zoom of my timeline?

Sorry.
Shift+O works fine, but Shift+I always send me to 05:03 except first layer with a camera.
Nothing starts at 05:03. There is no any marker or something else

Trouble dragging clips to timeline

We are having trouble dragging clips into our project timeline. The clips seem to fade out and can't be manipulated or dragged. We have not had this problem before.

I only know of one cause for that:
When you have finished importing the video do not go straight to editing but first save the project, close iMovie, then open the project again.
Now the clips should behave themselves!
I hardly ever use the clips pane except for occasionally 'parking' a clip for later use. I always import straight into the timeline.

Trouble Moving Audio With Video In Timeline

I'm new to Premiere Pro CS3, coming from Final Cut Pro 4.5 and am having trouble finding the following in the Help File:
-When I grab a clip in the timeline, and try to move it up and over to a different spot in the timeline, only the video portion moves up. The Audio portion stays on the same track and superimposes itself onto other audio clips as I drag. In Final Cut Pro, the video rises to a differnet track and the audio lowers to a differnet track so there's no collisions. Is ther a way to do this that I'm missing?
Gracias.

For PrPro CS3, this post should be in THIS forum. I feel that the MOD's will be moving it for you, so you will know where to find it, once they do.
Now, for the Audio issue, what is the channel-count of the Audio Stream? In PrPro, Audio will ONLY go to an Audio Track, that matches the channel-count of the file, i.e. mono only to 1-channel Audio Tracks, stereo to 2-channel Audio Tracks, etc. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
Now, when one brings a Clip w/ Audio onto the Timeline, from the Project Panel, the Audio will only go to the appropriate Audio Track, but if one does not exist, PrPro will create one of the appropriate channel-count, and it will be located just above the Master.
If one has the Clip on the Timeline, and they move it, its Audio will ONLY go to an Audio Track with the appropriate channel-count. If, for instance, you have a mono Audio Stream (1-channel) and only oen mono (1-channel) Audio Track, that is where it will go. If you need it elsewhere, because the now location already has Audio on that one Track, you just need to create another mono Audio Track.
One can also Lock Tracks, both Audio & Video, to keep the Clips on those Tracks "safe."
Hope that this helps, and good luck,
Hunt

I am having trouble creating a timeline in a trial version of Premiere Pro. Can anyone help?

I am having trouble creating a timeline in a trial verson of Premiere Pro. Can anyone help?

Quickest way is to drag a clip into the New Item icon (left bottom corner Project window)
You can also right click on the clip in the Project window and create sequence from clip (or something in that order, not at my editing machine right now).

Trouble moving playhead along timeline

Hi,
I apologize if this questions has already been asked and answered. I tried searching through the Flash forum and was unable to find the answer I was looking for.
I am very new to Flash and apologize for the simplicity of the question, but I am having trouble moving the playhead along the timeline in Flash. For example, when I open up a new Flash project, and start out with the initial layer with it’s single frame, I am having trouble moving the playhead forward to frame i.g. "75" or "80". My questions is, can I not move the playhead because I do not have content past frame one or can I not move the playhead because I have accidentally initiated a button or action that will only allow me to scrub my playhead through frames with content. On the off chance I had done this, I tried restarting Flash with the default settings with no success. Again, I realize this may be a very simple question and I am hoping the answer will be the same.

when you're in the authoring environment, you need a frame to exist at 75 or 80 before you can move the play head there. so, right click frame 75 and click insert frame or insert keyframe or insert blank keyframe.

Trouble Playing A loaded 'SWF' file in the pain timeline

Hey there. I have created a presentation that loads
interactive SWF movies into a 'target' movie clip on the main
timeline.
As you progress through the presentation different SWF movies
are loaded into the presentation. And this in turn allows me to
change the presentations content quickly and easily for different
clients.
These SWF's use some of the flash preloaded content objects
like combo box's and the like.
However when these SWF's are called into the main
presentation they cease to work properly.
They work fine when tested independently of the main
presentation.
Does anyone know how I may be able to get these SWF's to work
properly?
Cheers Fletch

The first thing to do is check the scoping in your loaded
SWF. Any references to _root, for example, mean something different
once the SWF is loaded into your wrapper movie.
Also, some of the V2 components don't work properly when
their SWF is loaded into another SWF. There's a Tech Note and easy
workaround here:

Good luck!

Trouble with J2D Timeline app

Hi,
I am very new to J2D and graphics programming. I currently know how to go about drawing stuff on the screen or make it move in a very basic fashion. I am trying to develop a app that looks like a timeline moving. Let's say that I have a bunch of planes and they are approaching some airport. The airport has its timeline that is a line in the middle of the screen(horizontal or vertical) with a bunch of time point hanging out of it. As time is going by the time points are going towards the bottom (or right) of the timeline at the end of the screen. Also if there is a plane that is approaching it too is hanging on to the timeline and is moving towards the end of the screen as time passes.
| | | | | | || | | * ||
start end
--------------------------------->>>Time passage
| = time
* = some plane
My problem is that even though I could probably investigate in drawing and animating this, I don't know how would I go about designing something like this. What would be the objects and what would move. Is the times attached to a circular timeband and the time band is moving(provided that I can program a timeband) or is the timeband static and the points moving. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how I could go about doing this or any referenced on the web that teach how to design something like this (and more).
Thank you,
Jay.

you could make an object for a timeline section that holds a string for the time and a boolean for wether a plane is on it. Then create an array of these objects and having them cycling through with different values every time.

FCP6 troubles with wrong timeline settings

I have several timelines and one of them is set up all wrong. The aspect ratio is wrong. If i copy the video from the timeline (apple+c and paste) and throw them in the timeline which is set up in the right way why the video files are still in the wrong aspect ratio? There's nothing wrong with files cause if I start all over again the aspect ratio is right.
I've also tried to change manually the wrong timeline settings to the right ones but it doesn't seem to work either. Could someone know how to help me?
Videos are dvcproHD and I'm running FCP6.

Well... basically unclear about mnost of it. Try some specifics. Sequence settings for example. Keep in mind if you create universal sequence settings in preferences, they only take effect in sequences mada AFTER the change. To change an existing sequence, use the sequence pulldown at the top.

Troubles with transition timeline effect

Hello,
I am trying to get a line of text to fade in over time via
the 'Transition' timeline effect. However, when I do this, editing
any of the settings makes no change, even after updating the

When I open the Transition effect dialog, I get an 'output'
window with the following inside:
quote:
Exception in exportPreviewSWF: TypeError: instance has no

Thanks. I kind of get half of what you are saying. I'm using a old flash mx and half the buttons/menu in it are really different. I'm checking out the motion panel as we speak.
