To devs - feature request: finer channel output control

dunno how easy it would be to implement such a thing but it would be awesome if channel output was a little more flexible
using ffdshow I downmix multitrack audio to pretty much whatever, and I use 4 channels (L,C,R,LFE) which sound waaay better than stereo
5.'s only an option for me when i'm sat directly in front of my pc, which i can't be arsed to do most of the time
being able to to do something similar with games would be pretty cool, and a nice little niche feature

I would use the OS X feedback page.

There is no hack to do this.

Feature Request: Brush Size/Feather Control Like CS5

CS5 introduced a brilliant way to adjust brush size and feathering on the fly with a couple of spring-loaded keystrokes. I plugged those into my Wacom pen and while holding the button simple drag left/right to change size and up/down for opacity. Works brilliantly. Would love the same functionality in LR4.

Well welcome aboard then.
This forum's primarily focused on the new features and bugs that are in this beta. Your request is great, but as it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request. In fact, if you search over there, you may find others with the same idea, so you can add your vote.

Feature Request: Third video output for script

It would be nice if VC allowed not only full screen output of the master video, but full screen outupt of the teleprompter while still maintaining control.
This would let somone be the talent, and someone be the director. If you run the teleprompter inf ull screen mode, it takes away the Director's screen.
It would mean a lot of memory and three video cards.
Other features: Ability to do more on the fly - such as run videos, sound, etc with hot keys, Video banks, etc. There are programs meant for church multi media that can do this (but can't chroma key, save video files, etc)

Great suggestion, I'll check 'em out. It also seems likely that somebody manufactures a FireWire-powered device that could do the job. I thought my old ADS PyroAV might work (Standard Def only, of course), but it only outputs a still picture of wherever Final Cut Pro's playhead was last parked. Crystal-clear video, but it essentially frame-stores and displays whatever still image it last "saw". Weird, huh?

Feature Request - Enable z-index control

I am surprised that such a simple feature like z-index control is not natively available in Edge Animate.
Just think of a simple animation of some cards overlapping each other and you want to bring one of the cards in front when hovering.
So please add this feature as a keyframe able value on the panel or at least as an action.
THX

THX,
yes I do know how to do this with css, but than I have to switch to
scripting insted of using keyframes.

OS Cover sheet in output control

Hi all:
Here in spool request, there is output control info about spool request <NN> in <xx> system (which is being generated by SAP Script).
There is OS Cover sheet in Output Attributes tab. I would like to change the value by ABAP report / program , is there any FM for it or another programing way to send the request for not printing . Plz remember, we are using the SAP Script.
thanks in advance

That is a problem. It is same as yours in my system. Better Search for OSS notes. They might have solution for this
Before that, make sure you have specified a right printer (working)

My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable speakers has quit working. Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine. Can anybody help?

My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working. Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine. The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine. Can anybody help?

Just tested something and it worked.
If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
It's probably this crappy headphones.
If anyone has the same problem, try this out.

Feature Request: Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence? I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature. The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it. But the benefit is entirely lost on me.
In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else. I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere. Note: Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two. Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence).
Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep. But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc). Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point. After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit. If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit. And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance. This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline! It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
Does anyone else feel the same? If not, what is your workflow?
Feature Summary: Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature.

Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement and use of a 3rd party application that runs you into an issue.
Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else. Find footage in the Media Browser. Import it. Create a Sequence and start editing. Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline.
At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline. The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip. This works, but requires many steps per clip. Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable.
Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio. Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate. This is not something Pluraleyes imposes. It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines. This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track." Ideal? No. I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work. Period.

Got ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Fine-grained access control

Trying to implement VPD, I've got ORA-00439 when implementing Fine-grained access control. Will this be available on XE?

Hi,
lewisc: Yes. I mean "persistent package variables" and I know this feature is available in any version of Oracle. But, I don't know how It works whith HTMLDB when using "HTMLDB Authentication Scheme".
i.e.: when I connect to an HTMLDB Application, I can see a new session on
V$SESSION with username=ANONYMOUS with SID=xxx and SERIAL#=yyyy.
1.-Will HTMLDB use the same session until User Press "logout" link?
2.-Will this particular Database session be exclusive or shared for any HTMLDB sessions?
3.-If I Logout from HTMLDB App, then Login again, Will HTMLDB reuse the same session?
or will create a new one?
-About VPD.
VPD is a Personal Edition feature too. All features of EE is
available on Personal Edition except RAC and a few others
specials features.
After all:
Maybe with these examples you can see my question.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW myviewname
AS
SELECT *
FROM mytablename
WHERE somecolumn = V('Fxxx_HTMLDB_ITEM_NAME')
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER mytriggername
BEFORE
INSERT
ON mytablename
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
:new.mycolumn1 := V('Fxxx_HTMLDB_ITEM_NAME');
END;
Can these two examples work? If so, maybe there is something wrong in my applications.
Thanks GaryM for your issues and I already know this can be done that way

Five Feature Requests - Do you have more?

Forgive me if this isn't the appropriate place to post feature requests but I couldn't find anywhere else that seemed better.
I love Keynote.... I'm looking forward to the day when I can ditch PP for good. Here are some features that I think would really help Keynote become more powerful.
1. Export as faithfully as possible to PP. Motion paths, alpha channels, etc. We live in a mixed platform world and I hate seeing my presos butchered on export.
2. Include a "slide library" like we have in iPhoto and the new iMovie. Opening dozens of presentations to find a particular slide is a pain!
3. Give us a layer browser (ala PhotoShop) to make arranging object hierarchies easier
4. Let us apply Quartz image processing to objects/layers ( blur, distort, colorize, etc) and make those effects non-destructive and play in real-time if appropriate (eg, ripples, fading, etc).
5. Give us some alternative to "SmartArt". Being able to create structured diagrams easily with SmartArt is a HUGE time saver.
Thanks!

The best way to hide such a discussion such as this is to lead on from another established thread about a related matter. The worse way is to put "feature request" in the title. I listed ten or so features and got the thread pulled in 24hrs.
Against that, I feature requested (*Keynote Menu> Feedback...*) a feature similar to Magic Move (but less ambitious) last year and was pleasantly surprised to see MM in KN'09. Also noted KN'08 had very difficult Build>Move path construction tools that hid control points under other objects and now they stay active. Very subtle but effective improvements there. Not sure if it was listening, synchronicity or randomness but gives hope.
Co-Melbournian, Les Posen presented to the Keynote dev team and his blog has an account of sorts.

Feature Request: Support for External Synths/Modules (via MIDI)

Hi,
I just posted a feature request (via the Apple Feature Request form) but also wanted to post here. I use a combination of hardware instruments (sound modules) and software instruments.
*My Setup*
- Keyboard #1: M-Audio Axiom 25 (also includes a USB MIDI interface)
- Keyboard #2: Roland A-33 Controller Keyboard (via my Axiom-25's MIDI In)
- Edirol USB MIDI Interface (sound modules plugged into MIDI Outs)
- Sound Module #1: Roland JV-1080
- Sound Module #2: Yamaha TX802
MainStage currently takes care of all my software instrument needs, however, what is missing is the ability to add external physical MIDI devices as either patches or as channel strips. I would like to use a combination of software and hardware instruments in the same song, and control this via Mainstage.
Example:
- Patch 1 could potentially contain 2 software instruments, each seperately controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently possible)
- Patch 2 could contain 1 software instrument and 1 external sound module each controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently impossible)
- Patch 3 could contain 2 external sound modules, mapped to different ports and/or channels, and therefore independantly controlled by my 2 keyboads (this is also currently impossible)
Would I be correct in assuming that this is a fairly common limitation of MainStage?

I have achieved MIDI out from Mainstage, thank to the information found on this forum..
what I actually do is send Prg Change from every preset I select to control a hardware vocal harmony pedal. this way i don't have to remember which setting i use on every song or even, section of a song.
*Step 1:*
Library>application support>Logic> create a folder named precisely MAINSTAGE CALLBACKS
inside of it, create an applescript with this code
on action(parameter)
set myprogramchange to programchangenumber of parameter
tell application "MidiPipe"
MIDISend toPort "MidiPipe AppleScript Input" withData {192, myprogramchange}
end tell
end action
*step 2*
download MIDIPIPE from http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/
and install it in your apps folder
*step 3*
start midipipe, and define the following modules
MIDI IN-> use applescript input from menu
MIDI OUT-> route to your midi interface desired output
save this to a Midipipe file you can easily access
Now, when I go to a gig I FIRST (this is important) load midipipe and my preset, and just hide it and let it work in the background
Start mainstage, and set the program change of every PATCH to what I want to be sent over MIDI OUT when I enter the preset (-1 if needed or modify the previous applescript).
Ok, this just gives you Prg change... if you want something like CC or others, you can look at some of the example files on midipipe, and write your own applescripts to be used from a control within mainstage (you know, select a screen control, and assign it to an applescript located in library>application suport>logic>Mainstage scripts. you have to tell the applescript to receive incoming data from mainstage and send it (with even some filtering or transforming) to midipipe to go to the outside world.
One last idea: i used a free plug-in called MIDIIO that, although the plugin analysis on mainstage might say does not pass, you can use it anyway, and lets you insert it as if it was a plugin instrument...then you just route your screen controller to a MIDI parameter on that track, and there you go...but in the past it was not as solid as the midipipe solution.
I am still investigating...I am pursuing having my hardware controller knobs to follow screen settings everytime I just change a patch, but lack some info on how to get parameter values when entering the patch ¿anyone knows, blueberry, zuelito...? I promise to share the results!

Feature Request: RGB Histograms / Tone Curves

Hi team,
It would be really helpful to be able to view the RGB Histograms separately in addition to a composite (rather than the "compact" mode we have now).
It would also be really helpful to be able to adjust the Tone Curve applied to an individual RGB channel in Develop.
Finally, it would be most helpful to be able to see the RGB values as well as or instead of the RGB percentages when moving the cursor over an image area. This would be particularly helpful for fine-tuning skin tones.
Thanks, and keep up the great work.
We're delighted you're evolving Lightroom!
Cheers,
Matthew

Your post seems to assume that Lightroom is a tool for travel/landscape photography, and other types of photography (e.g., portrait/fashion) should be supported by a "specialized add-on module". I have to disagree with you on that point. Considering many of the examples on the Lightroom marketing are fashion shoots, I would think that they considers portrait/fashion photographers to be an important part of their target audience. They are not a fringe group of specialists.
I'm sure that portrait/fashion photographers would feel the same way about a Lightroom capability that primarily benefits the workflow of a travel/landscape photographer, i.e., when I do do some landscape work, I just edit in Photoshop. But you wouldn't agree to that, would you?
Skin tone measurement can be an incredibly easy tool to implement. It can be something as simple as showing the CMY values alongside the RGB values during a mouseover. Keep in mind, I'm talking about CMY not CMYK, so there should be no need to worry about what ICC profile to use. RGB to CMY is a straightforward transformation. It's embarassingly simple.
There are other ways Adobe can implement skin tone management that would be more powerful but a little more complicated. Those would be great too.
Anyway, thanks for the link to the Adobe feature request page! I will use it.
Regards,
Mike

Temporarily disabling opacity layer property - Feature Request

Hi.
I have searched but not found any answer in the After Effect's keyboard shortcuts page.
Is there an easy way to disable the opacity effect layer property for one layer in a comp ? (temporarily, removing all the opacity keys is not an option)
I'm working on a slideshow with fade in/out, self modified (so opacity keyframes are 0, 100, 100, 0).
But since I have to change also position and scale, I sometimes need to edit one layer solo, with 100% opacity, instead of 0.
So far, I've been pushing my keys out ( 0 - - - 100 - - - 100 - - - 0 => 0 - - - 100 - - - - - - - - - - - 100 - - - 0 ) so my view is opaque most of the time, and then I need to put everything back in place so the transitions look fine.
Since I'm not advanced user in AE, may be I've missed a way to do it, or a shortcut.
Right now, I'm thinking about Photoshop's mask thumbnail (in the layers panel) that you can alt-click/shift-click to display or set inactive. Is there such a thing in AE and if not, where is the best place to put this as a feature request ?

For a quick toggle on off opacity set up an animation preset. I have one that uses the in and out point of the layer to set in and out opacity fades. I can't remember when I last manually set keyframes for opacity for a layer. Here's a free preset for you: Dropbox - fadeIO.ffx
To add a second instance of the standard transform controls plus a skew control go to Effects>Distort>Transform
Add in a mask and you have the best of all worlds. Works for everything but Z and in conjunction with CC14's new Effects Masks, opens up all kinds of single layer possibilities.

Feature Request - Safari Dimmer

Did not see any other place to make a feature request, so here goes:
Recently I installed a DivX player on a WinXP system as was pleasantly surprised with the "Desktop Dimmer" (apparently also available for OSX). It seems that though this functionality is currently a function of the player, it may be possible for Safari to detect that a particular video player plugin is active and streaming and perform the same function for all formats.
This would tie in nicely with the annoying behaviour on my MBP to dimm the screen after a minute or so of inactivity which can't be controlled from the Power management or Screen controlls in System Manager. Argh.
If I'm trying to stream an hour long motorcycle race, I don't want to have to keep moving my mouse to brighten up the screen. And it absolutely MUST be dimmed, then at least leave the streaming part alone.

This is a perfectly good place to post this. There is also at least one other place to give Apple feedback (including feature requests) about their Mac OS X applications: the Mac OS X feedback form. (You will not receive a response by filling out that form, but the feedback is channeled to the people who can best use it.)
This would tie in nicely with the annoying behaviour on my MBP to dimm the screen after a minute or so of inactivity which can't be controlled from the Power management or Screen controlls in System Manager. Argh.
Raising the time before display sleep in the "Sleep" section of Energy Saver settings, making sure that's changed for both the Power Adapter and Battery settings, doesn't do the trick? (It might not, always - just checking. :-))

Feature Request: Lights Out Mode / tagging display.

Problem: "Lights out" mode hides tags - need to enable option to allow tags to be seen during lights out mode.
I love editing down photos to selects in lightroom, I love using the (L) LightsOut Mode to set the screen(s) to black.
however, when I do so, it hides tagging data as well. I would like an option (keyboard shortcut) to toggle the display of stars/flags/colors on and off.
Possible solutions:
Flags and stars are simple graphics that could appear over the image or beside/under it in tiny non distracting ways. colours could be the same or perhaps have the outer border turn to the selected colour.
ADDITIONALLY: I would love to see an option to "LIGHTS OUT" the second monitor indipendantly of the main. (this could be done in the second monitor drop down menu)

Some headphones sound just too **** loud when plugged in the headphone amp so line out is only option. However, while that works just fine for normal stereo music, it is not optimal solution for games because the HRTF is way less accurate.
So, how about adding "Headphone mode" tick box for line out (or "Use line out plug instead" tick box in headphone mode)? It would solve various issues and fix one of the most annoying problem with Z/Zx/ZxR cards right now. It should be rather simple (i.e. same settings as headphone out but different output plug) thing yet would make massive difference in usability.
Hi Anarion,
I have relayed your product feature request to the designated department.
Will keep you informed for any updates on this thread, fingers crossed!

Feature Request / After Effects

Feature Request from Advanced Level User.
1. Copy and Paste Comp settings to Other Selected Comps
We are creating Motor Shows for major Automotive clients and often need to resize animated stings etc. in various different formats and clients often change things whenever they like.
When a client says could you change the resolution of that master render or the framerate then it would be great if you could copy composition settings and apply them to all the nested compositions that you choose. This should be similar to copying footage interpretation and pasting the info to a selection of video assets.
To elaborate, take the scenario where you have a file rendered at 1024x768 @ 30fps. The client says please make it PAL 720x576. Simple: you just put the master output into another comp and scale down to the new size. The 25fps would be reducing frames so that should be fine also. Now the client says they need a 1280x720p @ 50fps version that they forgot to tell you about. Now you could put the 1024x768 comp into the new 720p size and crop top and bottom. But you would have to scale UP the width from 1024 to 1280. Increasing the framerate would only work if you switched on collapse transformation in all of the nested comps, lets assume there are 50 of these due to the nature of this streamlined composite. Collapse Trans. or Grow Bounds is of course an option but not always relevant. Often the only way is to trawl though a chain of Nested comps and manually change size, framerate etc. The process of neatly nesting and working at the highest resolution needed is good practice. But often clients do not tell you about that 'big' version they need too, so speaking in hindsight is of little use. It happens often.
If you could simply change the size of the master output comp and then copy it's settings, select all the nested comps in the Project Window and then paste the settings into all the nested comps you would have saved a lot of time.
Shari.

Dear Steve,
Thank you for that superb feedback. It was a great place to start and eventually I arrived at a script called selected_comps_changer.jsx by Chris Green.
If anyone else needs it then it is here:
http://www.crgreen.com/aescripts/actual_scripts/Selected_Comps_Changer.jsx
It does exactly what it says on the box.
Many thanks again,
Shari.
