Titles clipped in standard view

When creating a movie in iMovie and iDVD I have selected the Wide Screen option in both iMovie and iDVD. My movie will be played on a variety of TVs and on computers. With Wide View many titles get clipped on standard TVs. I there any way to prevent this?

Phil,
You will need to crate two versions
For 4:3 old skool TVs, try Share/Export using quick time/options/size/preserve aspect ratio.
Make sure you are choosing a screen size that is 4:3.. i.e. 720x480 or so.
Hope this helps.

Why is FCPX freezing repeatedly while moving title clips?

Hello to all.
I am facing an exasperating situation. I am at the tag end of a project and I find that FCPX is freezing whenever I try to relocate a title. Have been forcrd to repeatedly force quit! Have trashed the preferences repeatedly, have restarted and even shut down the computer, have deleted thumbnail data, but, FCPX refuses to work.
Have read other posts in which one gentleman facing a similar problem was able to shift his titles with the inspector window closed. In my case, his method of surmounting the problem has not worked.
Right now I am minded to do this:
open FCPX once again, delete the existing titles, accurately place new titles and renter the text. Shall let you know the progress.
Until then, if there is some useful input in this totally frustrating matter, I would be too happy to lap it up!
Thanks in advance.

An update.
I have done this: copy the 'problematic' section of the project into a new project and have tried to edit the title clips in the new project...but this too was not of help.
I noticed that the FCPX would freeze only when a playback is attempted with the clip selected. But it would not whimper were I to move the clips, extend or shorten them.
Upon this realisation, making a 'crude' assessment based upon the audio waveforms, I did my 'rough' editing of the titles...and, the finished work appeared 'decent' enough. The flaws would be certainly noticed by seasoned viewers.
While pondering over this matter, I have this hunch that this erratic behavior of FCPX could have been triggered by my doing this: I had need of placing many titles in the project, and all of the text had to be given [almost] the same size fonts, tracking, face color, outline color and width. I had in an earlier thread asked whether there was any shortcut by which one could get all these parameters into the text without having need to edit each title individually. In that thread I learnt that one needed to do such a 'custom title' in Motion, which I do not have. In a moment of 'carelessness', acting against my better judgment, I did this 'easy' way of gettting things done: copy one title which had been editied and paste it at the required spot on the timeline; this done, I would delete the earlier text and replace it with the new one.
I guess that resorting to this 'easy shortcut' had forced me to take the 'hard long route'!
Whether this 'logic' of mine regarding the origin of the problem is correct or not, I sincerely hope that Apple would give its fans the happiness of easily adding preset parameters such as font size, face color, outline color and width etc. to one's text from within FCPX itself.
I would also like to hear from other forum members regarding this seriuos matter. From other posts I understand that I am not unique in facing this problem but others too have faced it. For those to whom videomaking is a hobby [I am not one of them], having to face or pass through this kind of problem may not affect their careers adversely, but for those who are professionals [I am not one of them!], whose livelihoods and reputations are at stake, facing this problem would be the equivalent of smelling one's goose being cooked!

How can I compensate for what a transition takes from a title clip?

I'm putting together, in iMovie 4, a slideshow, consisting entirely of clips from the Photo Pane. I imported my clips to the Viewer, then added cross-dissolve transitions, except where I wanted to create a title. Some clips have the Ken Burns Effect.
Here's the problem: after I add a title clip, then add transitions in front & back of it, the title clip's duration reduces. With the title highlighted, I go back into the Title Pane and increase its duration, but the transition bleeds off the increase, as it re-renders, every time. There's no problem updating a photo clip between two dissolves.
The cross-dissolves are about 1:20 in duration. I want my title clips to be about 2:10 or so. There's also the problem with title clips that their total duration is a combination of speed and pause. So adjusting their duration is complicated, once I get the total duration I want, but then have to try compensating for what the transition will take away.
Has anyone solved this problem for themselves, & if so, what do they suggest?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
David

What if you put a photo down for a set duration, and
then put the same photo down back to back with the
first one, and use the second one to make the
transition with? Then of course, use a "transition"
photo for the next clip, and then back to back with
it, with a secondary clip of the same photo to last
the desired duration before you go on to the next
clip, with a third but same photo dedicated to make
the transition with? And so on...
Your suggestion has helped me in other ways by introducing me to the concept of adding clips to solve problems. I won't get into the details. Lennart, some time ago, suggested the same thing in another context, which worked, but I didn't transfer that knowledge, until now. Thanks.

Combining and Editing Sound in Titles Clip

Okay, now that I actually managed to capture the sound I wanted from my camera to my computer I am unable to find anything in the iMovie tutorial that explains how to get the sound and titles together AT ALL, much less exactly the way I want. How do you edit sound to coordinate it with picture? For instance:
1. Because of the nature of the capture device, I had to capture sound at the beginning and end of the clip that I didn't want to ensure I got ALL the sound I DID want. As a result, I want my opening titles sound to BEGIN at 1:23:28 and END at 1:59:17. I think the clip is almost exactly this length. If it's longer, and there's black screen/no sound for a few seconds at the end, FINE, but I don't want extra sound at the end of the audio clip spilling over onto the picture (titles). So how do I make sure that JUST this part of the clip ends up on the titles without recapturing it trying to cut it closer, and
2. How do I get the sound to play at the same time, in the same clip as the titles, at all? What is the exact process of putting picture and sound together?
Thanks for any replies. I'm off to work on the parts I do understand.

Although I can't find anything about combining picture and sound in the iMovie Tutorial, I did find something about shortening clips:
Keeping Only the Parts You Want
Edit clips in the timeline view
1. Click the Timeline Viewer button in the iMovie window.
2. Select a clip from the iMovie timeline.
3. Move your pointer to near the end of the clip and notice the pointer change to two arrows. This means you can trim your clip.
4. Drag your pointer toward the center of the clip and notice that the duration of your clip shortens as you move further to the left. You can see the new ending point in the clip viewer.
5. Stop dragging when you find exactly the frame you want to end your clip. Notice the right edge of your clip now displays a straight edge rather than rounded corners indicating an edit has been made.
6. If you change your mind and want to restore the clip to a longer duration, simply drag the edge to the right.
7. Repeat this process with the other end of the clip.
8. Save your iMovie project.
I don't see why in the world this wouldn't work just as well for a sound-only clip as a picture-and-sound clip. The only way I see of getting the out-of-sequence ones I want in the order I want is to either duplicate the clip and then shorten both clips, or delete the existing clip and recapture it as two clips--then shorten each to the length I want and somehow run them together in sequence. (Copying it into two clips would be faster and easier for me, but is it possible and does it make a difference?)
What I don't know is how to make it understand to put the three clips (these two shortened ones and the third I want to follow it) into ONE sound sequence, and then make it understand to run THAT sequence with the closing titles! How do I get each sound clip together with each other, then make it run together with each title clip I want? This has me at a loss. It would REALLY help if I could do this like TODAY! I will be DEEPLY GREATFUL to whoever can offer a CLUE!

Unable to open "compose mail/settings/contacts" in standard view in 2 out of 3 Gmail accounts

Unable to open "compose mail/settings/contacts" in standard view in 2 out of 3 Gmail accounts. When "compose new mail" is selected "loading...." appears at the top then the page is frozen. ie you can't select inbox etc. Changing from standard to basic h/ml then clears the Loading... and gmail can be used (without spellcheck etc).
This might not be Mozilla, but I can access these accounts in standard view on another computer.

Your Gmail account may well be an IMAP account, just like the iCloud mail account. In which case it will work in just the same way as iCloud mail, except that you will have to set it up manually on each device, where as iCloud mail adds the account itself when you log into iCloud.
Whilst it works the same as iCloud mail it isn't iCloud that syncs it for you.

How to use data from standard view in Web dynpro for ABAP

Hello:
I have to create an Abap Web Dynpro, and I must use data from a standard view in the new one. Does anybody know what do I have to do?
Thank you and have a happy new year.

Hi Rodrigo,
Firstly, list the Standard component under Component Usage of the Component which you are creating in your View.
Second, In the Custom Component, view, goto context, and try to add the node from the Standard component in to your view.
NOTE: The second step requires a Node in component controller of the Standard Component.
Finally, Now in your view, get the data from that and map the data.
NOTE: To do this, I think you need to call your Standard WDA first and then only your node contains data and it will be passed.
I hope it is helpful.

Shashikanth. D

Can't see clip preview in clip or timeline view

This may be a simple problem, but I am brand new to this. I am making a movie out of photos, and the process seems simple. I drag a photo from my iphoto library (from the photos pane) into the clip view (or timeline). The image is imported and the movie looks correct when played, but in the clip (or timeline) view below all imported clips are just black. So I can't really easily edit the clips because I have no idea which one is which (besides looking at the filename!). The images I am importing are jpegs and like I said it has no problem playing the movie correctly I just see what I am working with in the clip view. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum!
The image is imported and the movie looks correct when played, but in the
clip (or timeline) view below all imported clips are just black.
Very strange.
To make sure we understand what you see... The imported image plays okay on the timeline after it's imported, but its thumbnail in the timeline is black. Instead of the thumbnail showing the imported image, the thumbnail is black. Correct?
Does the imported clip play black too?
The only thing I can think of that makes a clip play black is when the Ken Burns Effect is set to pan above/below the image or left/right of the image. Then, instead of importing the image, Ken Burns imports the black border along one side of the image.
To unset the pan so Ken Burns is centered over the image, do this:
1. Click on any image in the iPhoto library.
2. Turn ON the Ken Burns checkbox.
3. Click in the "Start" half of the Start/End thingy.
4. Drag the zoom slider (the slider with the small/large face profile) a bit to the right, then all the way to the left.
5. Click on the "End" half of the thingy and repeat #4.
Now the import is centered. If the pan was causing the problem, that should fix it.

How to get standard view or table for the standard inforsource

Hi all:
According to business reqirement, we are going to use standard inforsource 0CO_OM_CCA_10,
we need to know the standard view or table in order to corresponding DataSource?
could you please tell me how to get the standard view or table or DataSource?
Couldn't thank you more!

Hi Sony,
Goto RSA1>BI content installation>goto objects>double click on the Infosource>then a pop-up comes search for that infosource-->select it and click on transfer
Before that in the right side of the tab select the grouping as "Before and afterwards of the dataflow" and collection as automatic.
then you get all the datasource/cubes and all the object related to the infosource.
OR another option is-->
Goto RSA6 in the R/3 and search for the datasource with the name "0CO_OM_CCA_10" (don't forget to expand all the tree structure in RSA6)
then goto that datasource and double click on the datasource then you will get the Extract structure of that datasource.
double click on the extract structure then you may get the View name also.
hope this helps...

How to create a new view by copying from standard view in IC webclient?

Hello, expert,
I need to enhance a sap standard component (BP_Factsheet), inside it I need to create a new view by copying from an existing standard view (Acitivities). However when I try to make a copy, I was asked for destination BSP application, I entered the Z-Application which I used when defining enhancement for the component. After the copy, I don't see the new view.
Then I tried the destination BP_factsheet, instead of the z-application, then after the copy, I can see the new view. However since it's in SAP application, it seems like it's a MOD, not enhancemnet, and inside the new view, the classes (for context, context nodes, etc.) are not in custom namespace (not starting with Z).
So please let me know how can I make a copy of sap standar view in custom namespace.
Thanks in advance.
Jayson

When copying you can put any BSP name..normally the practice is to prefix the standard name with a Z.
Secondly when you want to make changes to the individual classes and methods you need to right click and say enhance. Then the AZ class names etc would be generated. The view should appear in the component wherein you copied the original view from.
I hope this helps.
The cookbook should have details on this. Otherwise also its quite intuitive.
Award points if it helps.
Thanks.

Modify "standard view" settings for an ALV in a WD4A view

Hi fellow developers
I have placed an ALV on WD4A view.
In the WDMODIFYVIEW I try to manipulate the ALV settings but somehow the settings of the "standard view" overrule my commands.
The settings of the "standard view" are not modifiable from within the function.
Is there a possbility to change the settings of this "standard view" that is being used for this ALV?
Kind regards
Wouter Heuvelmans
Pyramid Applied Solution

Execute your application in administration mode, afterwards you can change the settings using settings link of the ALV and save the same as part of "Standard View". If you want settings only for a user then ask user create a view of there own and set the same as default view.
Even if you maniuplate ALV Layout settings ( other then Initial settings set during ALV call ) the same will be overruled by the default view set in the ALV i.e. Initial settings.

Create a new button in a sap-standard-view WD4A

In webdynpro for ABAP
I have changed the text on an existing button in a sap-standard-view using configuration (change application configuration/go to component configurator/implicit configuration and then on the view-component change the text) it works perfect.....
my next step is to create a new button beside the old one with a new text on it, I created a new button by using "enhance view" (I copied the existing button) the new button appears (so far so good) but when I go into the configuration to change the text on the new button (using configuration the same way I did when I changed the text on the existing button) I cant find my new button in the view-component list....why can't I find it there so I can change the text?
Can anyone help me this one?

I don't believe that the Configuration tool picks up Enhancement Objects because of the way they are linked to the original component at Runtime. Why set the text using configuration? You can control the text within the enhancement object. Do you want different texts based upon multiple configurations?

Deleting entries from a Standard View

Hi,
How do I delete duplicate entries from an Standard View in an Abap Code?
Thanks,
Pravs

Then it becomes complicated. Are you trying to delete the duplicates from a view? Then look at your view definition and see if you can avoid duplicates by changing its selection criteria. Also take note of Rob's comment.
If you are trying to delete from a database table as opposed to a view, then I don't know how you achieved the feat of having duplicate entries as any duplicate inserts with same key fields would have resulted in dump. Can you please clarify?

Deleting fields from a standard view

Hello,
I want to delete fields form standard view which are appended by me accidentally . I have written a delete statement to delete the fields from the standard view . but i got an error at declaration part . I have declared it as shown below
Tables : V_MMIM_REP_CUST
V_MMIM_REP_CUST----
> is the view name
So, guide me how to declare this view .
Regards,
mnarar.
Edited by: mnarar on Nov 30, 2011 1:12 PM

Hi,
This is just an idea to delete the records from the Table. But ideally you should not use this approach in any development.
The table for this view is MMIM_REP_CUST. You can write a Custom Report Program where you need to create a work area with the values which you would like to delete. And then write a Delete statement and delete the table entry from that work area.
I guess you are doing this in the development environment and have all the necessary authorizations. And you should not transport any report like the above to other environments. Also double check if that entry will not effect other business scenarios.
Hope this helps.

Problem in calling standard view in nested view container

Hi Experts,
We have a standard SAP component in which there is view containing a TABStrip. In one of the tabs there is a View container. This view container calls another view containing a view container, which in turn calls another standard view of standard component SALV_WD_TABLE. The whole structure is as below:
MAIN(View)->VC_container1(view container)->View1(called view)->VC_Container2(View container in called view)->Table(standard view of SALV_WD_TABLE).
Now we are trying to add one more tab in the same tabstrip and trying to call the the same TABLE view of component SALV_WD_TABLE in the same manner described above. It is allowing us to add the view but when we are activating the enhancement the standard view TABLE of component SALV_WD_TABLE gets disappeared. Can anybody suggest what to do.
Thanks and Regards,
Vaibhav Tiwari.

Hi Vaibhav,
My Ques is that are your using the same component usage of salv_wd_table for the Second tab you have added.
Because you are using the component usage of salv_wd_table already in the first tab. So when you are goinig to use the same component usage for the second tab then this problem might will happn i.e. the table is disappeared in the second tab.

Manoj Kumar
