Title Craw - use Boris or LiveType?

I'm working with the included Boris title crawl provided within FCE HD, but wondering if someone could tell me how to slow down the speed of the crawl.
I'm hoping at this point that I am not 'barking up the wrong tree' so to speak, in using the built-in Boris titling, or would I be better off in creating title crawls across the lower portion of my frames in LiveType.
I'm still an infant at this, any insight to working with title crawls would be appreciated.

It's been a while since I used Boris but can you select the clip and go 'modify' - 'speed' or command j or drag the clip to the length you require.
I prefer to use Livetype as it's more versatile, but it means switching between apps. If it's a simple and quick title you need, use boris or the title generator in FC, if it's more complex use LT although if you've not used it much there's a bit more of a learning curve involved - just open it up and experiment.
Scrolls and crawls are in the media browser under the effects tab. First select your font, type a few words, apply the crawl then in under the timing tab in the inspector, adjust the speed.

Titles created in Boris title crawl disappear after render

I build a title roll in Boris Title Crawl for a weekly TV show that I edit in HDV 1080i60 (that is how I get the footage) that airs on Dish Network and DirecTV. I build the end credits in Boris Title Crawl using the "Roll" animation style. The roll will appear in the perfect position on the screen. However, sometimes over time and subsequent rendering, the titles will disappear completely from the screen, and I believe they are being positioned far off to the side outside of the viewable area. The wireframe for the roll remains in the correct position, it just appears empty. If I re-open Boris Title Crawl and then click "apply" again, the mispositioning is corrected, at least for a while. If I try to export using quicktime conversion to another format (Quicktime Movie with H.264 compression), the roll might disappear again, and the movie will export without the roll. This has only been happening since upgrading to FCP 7, I don't recall it every happening with FCP 6. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don't use Boris regularly, but when I have, I never encountered this, and I doubt it's related to upgrading to 7. If I understand correctly what you're describing, the changes could be caused by any number of things – like whatever cutting took place on your TL "over time and subsequent rendering" causing re-renders.
How many v tracks do you have and is the crawl on a separate track? Consider exporting the credits clip as a QT movie and reimport it.
And somewhat off topic, typically I get better (and far more predictable) results by exporting my sequence as a QTMovie (current settings) and do all encoding (e.g., H.264) in Compressor.
Good luck.

How to display diferent Title by using diferent TC in one Report

Hi all,
Ich have a problem by Implementation:
So my Report must be calling from 2 Transactions
Transaction 1 call Report 1 --> show title 1 (exp. Windows was called by Transaction 1) (start window - Dynpro screen 1000)
Transaction 2 call Report 1 --> show title 2 (exp. Report 1 was called by Transaction 2) (start window - Dynpro screen 1000)
I used SET TITLEBAR but isn't work
How can I do that? Can I user sy-tcode for the changing report-title?
Thanks for Answer!

Hi,
the following code I have used to change report title for selection screen of the 2nd transaction:
initialization.
                                                                                if sy-tcode               ne 'ZTGIODOK'.
       sy-title                  = text-shd.
     endif.
This is only for the selection screen. For the result screen SET TITLEBAR should work.

How to use BOR in my program

Hi Exprets,
I want to use a BOR(INSTLN) to update data of an installation, but I do not know how to use a BOR in my program, how to declare it, how to use the methods of the BOR. I would be appreciated if some1 give me some sample code.

Question about Setting Window Title/the use of AVWindowSetTitle()

Hi everyone,
I have a question about setting the title of the window in which the Acrobat viewer normally opens a PDF file. The documentation states that AVWindowSetTitle() cannot be used in this case. However, using it has worked with versions of Acrobat/Reader up until and including version 8.
Everything breaks down starting with Acrobat 9.
According to the documentation I am supposed to do the following: "To set the title of a window in which the Acrobat viewer opens a PDF file, you must replace AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() and pass the window title in tempTitle."
Unfortunately, there are 2 problems I have with this approach:
     I do need to be able to change the document title on document Save, not only on document Open
     I do not know what AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() implementation has to look like if I have to replace it using HFTReplaceEntry().
Is there a sample customized implementation of AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() somewhere that I could take a look at?
Is there a way to change a document Title inside Acrobat/Reader window after a Save operation?
Thanks a million,
Lana2010K

     I am sorry. I don't know how you tested this and came to conclusion that this works correctly in Acrobat X.
     I just tested our Acrobat plug-in with a trial version of Acrobat X and this did not work.
     When we open a file in Acrobat (doing it ourselves in the plug-in by adding another specialized open) we set the window title to something different from the default file name. Then if a file gets edited and saved (File->Save), the window title gets reset to the file name. In the PDDocDidSave callback we call AVWindowSetTitle() to set it back to a more descriptive window title we need. This has worked up until and including Acrobat 8, but does not work in either version 9.0 or 10.0.
     Also, I just modified the plug-in code to always change the Window Title of every document (even if opened through native File->Open) on document Save. It does not work.
     Please help,

Creating buttons on title bar using alv

hi all good morning,
can any one help me in making a button on title bar of ALV report. Till now i have used only one function of ALV i,e REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. it is showing proper out put but i want to make some action using my own button on the final ALV result displayed like save change etc.

Hi,
How to add button to ALV toolbar using REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY?
In the program which calls ALV using REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY,
I have to add a new button.
I saw the demo program BCALV_GRID_08, which is written using ABAP-Controls.
In that example, the button is added using TOOLBAR event of cl_gui_alv_grid.
Could you help me to implement the same logic using REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY parameters.
you should copy the 'STANDARD' GUI status from program SAPLKKBL using transaction SE90 >Programming SubObjects> Gui Status.
Execute this transaction to get to next screen. select status using checkbox. click on GUI Status --> Copy.
Enter your Z program name and the name you what for this status - you can keep it as 'STANDARD' to be simple.
Then you can edit the new status to add or delete buttons. This will also bring in the standard SAP ALV functionality such as sorting/subtotaling etc...
When you call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' make sure you pass it the new status name.
an example of one of mine:
call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
i_callback_program = 'ZSDBOLST_REPORT'
i_callback_pf_status_set = 'STANDARD' <----
i_callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND'
i_structure_name = 'I_BOLACT'
i_grid_title = 'BOL Action Report'(031)
is_layout = gs_layout
it_fieldcat = gt_fieldcat[]
i_save = 'A'
is_variant = v_variant
TABLES
t_outtab = i_bolact
EXCEPTIONS
program_error = 1
others = 2.
I just tried the same procedure ,but my entire application toolbar disappeared and a lock icon appears next to the application toolbar in my copied pf-status.
Could you advice what might have gone wrong ?
As identified with the FM's help you can do the following.
1). Using SE80 (I think) you can copy a GUI status from one program to another. It mentions which one in the FM's help.
2). Create a form named like so:
Code:
Form Set_pf_status
Notes: Called by FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
FORM set_pf_status USING rt_extab TYPE slis_t_extab.
SET PF-STATUS 'ZSTANDARD'.
ENDFORM. "Set_pf_status
In the above case the GUI status copied was named ZSTANDARD and adjusted accordingly, adding and removing the desired buttons. A button was added called '%DELETE'.
3). Create the following report:
Code:
Form User_command
Notes: Called by FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
Detects whether the icon/button for
'Return Tag Deletion' has been pressed. If it has then
detect whether any rows have been highlighted and then
set the delete flag.
FORM user_command USING r_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
DATA: li_count TYPE I.
IF r_ucomm EQ '%DELETE'.
LOOP AT %g00 WHERE mark EQ 'X'.
ADD 1 TO li_count.
ENDLOOP.
IF li_count GT 0.
gc_delete_flag = 'X'.
r_ucomm = '&F03'. "Back arraow
ELSE.
MESSAGE W000 WITH 'Please highlight the rows to be deleted!'.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM. "User_command
As I've added an extra button to indicate which records should be deleted I need to identify a form to be called to process when this button is chosen.
Then when you call the ALV function you to specify the following extra details:
Code:
call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
exporting i_callback_program = gc_repid
I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET = 'SET_PF_STATUS'
I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND = 'USER_COMMAND'
i_grid_title = lc_grid_title
is_layout = lc_layout
it_fieldcat = gt_fieldcat
it_sort = sort
i_save = l_save
is_reprep_id = l_bbs_id
is_variant = l_variant
tables t_outtab = %g00
exceptions program_error = 1
others = 2.
The parameters in capitals are the extra ones that need to be added.

Satish

Export custom title for use on another computer

I created some custom lower thirds titles on my old computer using Motion 5 running Mountain Lion.
I want to be able to use these custom titles in FCPX on my new computer running Mavericks.
How do I do this?

Your custom titles should be in your Movies>Motion Templates folder on your old computer. Just copy that entire Templates folder to the Movies folder on your new computer. If your new computer already has a Motion Templates folder then just transfer the contents of the Templates folder on the old computer.

After upgrading to FF4 for Mac OSX.5.8 the Flash-based website builder WIX will not register any keyboard inputs; eg i cannot type in a title or use command+z to undo something, Why is this?

I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX.5.8 installed. I just upgraded to FF4. I have been previously using the online website builder WIX and now when i open up my website to edit it in a separate browser window it does not register my keystrokes. I can edit with the mouse and make changes but i cant type in any titles or names for save files or anything. Shortcut keystorkes like command+z also do not work.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Any Solutions for when Premiere Elements 8 which crashes when Title is used?

I have been using the software since 2010 without major problems and have produced many videos, both Blueray files for using on a media player and DVDs. All of this time I have been using video from the same camera; a Sony HDRCX110 which produces an m2ts file, and have also been including stills from various cameras. The software now crashes when a new title is attempted. I have read previous responses to a similar question and have done the following in accordance with the responses:
- updated Windows 7 and Quicktime,
- used CC cleaner to remove temporary files
- reduced the number of files on the hard drive which now has 548Gb free.
Can anyone suggest further action please?

Mocca Warrandyte
Thanks for the update. Sorry the news is not better. But, onward.
If you have not been through the uninstall/reinstall process, it is probably time to go through that.
Before you do, just to dot the i's and cross the t's, check out the video card driver to make sure that it is up to date according to the manufacturer of the video card. If that does not contribute to getting the issue resolved, then
1. Go back to the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, but this time delete that whole folder (8.0 Folder) in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Before you just deleted that one item in the 8.0 Folder, namely the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file. The path is reproduced for reference.
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
8.0 Folder
and in the 8.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete.
2. If that does not have any impact on the situation, the let us go for Help Menu/Deactivation in the open project. Close out of there. Then Uninstall via the usual Control Panel route. Next ccleaner, regular and registry parts. Then Reinstall the version 8. Then Reinstall the 8.0.1 Update.
Please review and let us know if you have any questions on the plan.
Thanks.

JSF Page Creation wizard title configuration uses old values!

I just noticed that if you don't explicit change the value of the page's title in the JSF Page Creation Wizard, the page created will get the title from the last page where you changed the title.
Tested in JDev 10.1.3.1Production and JDev 10.1.3.1 Preview

I'm thinking this has to do with the fact that the UIComponents use the localValue after validation fails. This prevents the values from being overwritten when re-rendering the page, i.e. the inputs keep the value set by the user.
The solution is to manipulate the components directly during the AJAX request when the first pull down is changed. Use the binding attribute to place them into your bean and clear the value directly. That way it will not matter that the expression is not evaluated.

Using Boris 3D Generator

I am very new to FCE - Version 4.0 having always used Imovie. I am trying to create a fairly straightforward 3D Title. I type in my Title, bring it in to project, everything is fine. Now I get a bit fancier. I want to see my Title being generated in a Random Order - letter by letter - over the duration lifespan of the Title (20 seconds). I set TEST TYPE ON to 50, TYPE ON ORDER to Random, and APPLY TO Letter. I then move this to my Project and play it. All that seems to have happened is that some letters are now missing from my Title but as the Title plays nothing happens. The title remains constant ( minus the few letters ). Can someone explain what I am doing wrong. Thanks!!!!

Thanks - This indeed was the missing step

Adding title search using Lucene

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

hello,
yes lucene-1.4.3 API is compatible with java 1.4.,because the API itself contains all the required info for it.
as the current running site is updated with new LIB(.jar) files ,and class file so it need the remote server to be restart again.
so when server get restarted it automatically detected those file and Package.and started working.
thanks to all.

Title Scroll using Photoshop

I'm attempting to do a title scroll for the end credits of a feature length film in Photoshop. I think I have it set up correctly in Photoshop (using Ken Stone's tutorial) but when I bring it into FCP it is SOOOOO teeny tiny that it is unreadable. I'm stumped! If I try to change the size using the wireframe it just gets big & blurry. I am monitoring on an external HDTV and it doesn't work anywhere. I've been scouring the message boards for more tips on doing a scroll this way but I am stumped. Any help?
Thank you
Carrie

We're using an HD format (960x720) - when I set it up that way in PS it doesn't work.
Without watching you work it's really hard to debug. The origin of your text file depends on your need for typographic tools and control. PS is fine for that. But most credit rolls are not continuous, they're actually two or more discreet pages that are traveling at exactly the same speeds so there is no apparent break between them.
Forget the realworld dimensions of your needs for now.
Create a document in PS that is 2000 pixesl tall and 500 pixels wide. Use a non-serif typeface at 36 pixels (points) and compose a random set of names and titles that more or less covers this document. Use white text. Save it over transparency.
Bring it into FCP project, drop it onto your timeline.
Double click it to open it into the Viewer, go to the motion tab and look at distorition and scale. Set scale to 100% and distortion to 0.
Now set two keyframes for the vertical travel.
Render.
Report back.
The two things you will have trouble with are trying to put effects in PS, don't, and pixel aspect distortion. There are books written about that, you're on your own there.

Inline dialog title icon used when the dialog is running a bound taskflow

Hy,
if a bounded/unbounded taskflow runs inside a dialog, in the upper left corner of the dialog a 'task_flow_definition.png/unbounded_task_flow.png' appears.
Is there a way to replace these icons with a custom icon ?
In oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.rich.RichDialogService these icon url's are hardcoded. I've tried to put an 'afr' and an adf/oracle/skin/images directory under html_root or META-INF with two custom 'task_flow_definition.png/unbounded_task_flow.png': this doesn't work (the original icons from the adf-libs are displayed, but not custom icons).
Thanks in advance for any help !

Thanks for your response.
I tried that and I could not get it to work. Even though I can set pageFlowScope.pageTitle dynamically, the browser window title does not refresh (I tried to refresh via PPR and full post back).
here is my code:
public void setPageTitle(ActionEvent actionEvent)
RequestContext requestContext = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
Map pfs = requestContext.getPageFlowScope();
pfs.put("pageTitle","TEST 2");
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(this.document);
public void setPageTitle(ActionEvent actionEvent)
RequestContext requestContext = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
Map pfs = requestContext.getPageFlowScope();
pfs.put("pageTitle","TEST 2");
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String currentView = context.getViewRoot().getViewId();
ViewHandler vh = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
UIViewRoot x = vh.createView(context, currentView);
x.setViewId(currentView);
context.setViewRoot(x);
}
