Track index points

I have a long track that I want to split up into many tacks on a CD. Can I set track index points in GarageBand? I'd like it to play through with no split between tracks when playing the CD, but I'd like to be able to navigate between sections using the forward and back buttons on a CD player. Is this possible in GarageBand? I'm thinking maybe using the Split into Regions?
Thnx!

The momentary "blip" as you call it is probably caused by a track split at some point other than a zero-crossing point.
You can easily use Audition to burn a CD using your split track. In Edit View, simply find a point in your waveform where you want to make a track split, Right Click the yellow cursor, choose "Next Zero Crossing" - the yellow cursor will jump to the next zero crossing point and should prevent that point from being a "blip". After the yellow cursor has moved to the zero crossing point, Right Click on the cursor and choose "Insert CD Track Marker". You can do this for the entire waveform. Save the waveform with all the track markers, then put it in the CD view. The CD view should read the markers and put the tracks in order for burning.
NOTE - When using this method be sure to put a CD track marker at the very beginning of the waveform so the CD View will recognize it as a track. You can edit the names and order of the markers in the Marker List.
This method isn't fullproof. In both 2.0 and 3.0 I've experienced some bad burns where the last few tracks in the list aren't actually burned, but for some reason the program takes sections of earlier tracks and burns those again in place of the missing tracks. I recommend listening to your burned CD, checking the beginning of each track to make sure it's what it should be. I don't have any experience burning using this method in 1.5 so I can't say if this is true of 1.5.

After Effects warning: An invalid track index

Hello, I am running CC 2014 on Windows 7.
I have a project with a significant amount of basic animation (just 2D scale and position keyframing), and while working on adding sound effects, I keep getting this error when I try to RAM preview: "After Effects: BE: An invalid track index has been added to the sequence."
If I hit ok, the preview plays, but with no audio.
Any ideas what to do? I've tried clicking tracks on and off, and it does help, but very inconsistantly to where I can't pin point the source of the problem. There's one track that when turned on, I do NOT get the error, and when turned off, or deleted, I DO get the error. This just baffles me.
Thanks for any help-- I'm on a tight deadline and really need to work through this ASAP.

You have two, and perhaps three, problems going on:
1) Don't use mp3 audio in AE. Just don't. It has NEVER worked properly, and problems rear their ugly heads only intermittently... like when you time-remap it. Convert mp3's to lossless audio files like wav or aiff.
2) Don't Time Remap audio and expect it to work properly when you render. It's better to export out the time-remapped audio as a wav or aiff, reimport and use the new audio clip when rendering. Or just export it and use it in a video editing application along with your animations from AE.
3) FORTY-NINE layers of audio? That's crazy in AE! AE stinks at audio! It's Hell On Earth to mix all those tracks in AE!
I bet you can find a different application to put all those tracks together with the video. I bet you can figure out an alternate workflow. And you should. The best way to use audio in AE is as a reference for timing your animations. I use that strategy when I'm working on my stuff, and when I render, I don't render an audio track... not even when it's lip-sync audio! I match up everything in a video editing application, and I have never, EVER had a problem. Not once. You can find a different application for that audio work -- now go find it.

Tracker Indexing: Database Keeps Corrupting!?

Hi,
I am trying to use the tracker indexing, but after running for a while (with or without reboots in between) the miner- and storage-processes still operate, but tracker-search will yield no more results. This is independent of the search term, i have some filenames i check just to know whether it still works or not. Usually it stops after a few days (or about 12h of uptime.....which unfortunately not always translates to several days....). Till this happenes, searching works perfectly.
We are talking about a new Arch 64bit installation, just the mounted drives contain "old" documents. All drives are ext4 formatted, the drive with the index is an SSD with ext4 and noatime,discard as additional mount params. I use e17 as window manager; it has a "start gnome services at startup" option which allows to include tracker. But also when launching tracker-control -s manually i eventually end up with this corruption (if this is the correct term - i call it that because once the search failed i never managed to get it back to work).
All the folders chosen for indexing are subfolders of my home and owned by my user - though there are mutiple drives mounted here. But again: The searches work perfectly for a while.
There is plenty of space left on the drive to allow for further growth of the database. I have no clue how large the database file in ~/.cache/tracker is allowed to become (or what is reasonable). Last time i checked it was 2.2 Gb large, then search stopped working. I have not checked yet if it always dies at this db size.
I checked /var/log and /tmp/tracker-USERNAME for logs or error messages, but theres nothing related. I have no clue where else to look or what might be the cause for this problem. Unfortunately naming the program "tracker" doesnt really help me trying to google for answers (the irony of the tracker bug bugtracker...). Maybe someone has a hint on what I am doing wrong?
Sorry for the textflood,
MC.

I had to create a new Access database and move data from the old database into the new one to resolve this issue. Apparently something in the original Access Database file was corrupt.

Tracking of points

Hello everyone,
is there any "standard" algorithm for tracking a lower number of points (i.e. ~ 5 ) in a sequence of frames?
At the current point, I'm able to analyse a video stream and search for the center points of circles. Now i have to determine in each frame, which center point belongs to which circle - thats where i need to track these points.
Is this very complicated? I cant seem to find any method on the web on how to do this Oo
Thx a lot in advance!!
greets,
Binom

Hello Alan,
i must admit the "question" was a bit confusing.
What I am doing is capturing a real time video stream (a video file right now, but should be a stream from a camera in the real application) and analysing this stream frame by frame, or "picture by picture" as you can say. This is what I meant by calling these "frames".
I'm trying to track a special target, which is built out of 5 spheres in order to constantly track the position and direction of the target. There should be 4 cameras, each of these capturing a 2D view of the target (I dont have to care about the environment of the target, because i capture the spheres in infrared, so nothing else should be recorded).
So, i have to analyse each of those camera views in 2D - first step would be circle recognition (for the center points), this is something i hope that works just ok right now.( After analysing all 2D views I have to bring them togeteher(somehow^^) to calculate the 3D information [namely: position and direction] ). I search for the circle by using the DSJ Wrapper (a directshow wrapper for Java) to capture the video stream and then using some sort of "Flood Fill" algorithm on each frame to find the circles.
So the tracking of the center points is the challenging part of this: For each frame(or picture) from the video stream, i have the 2D position center points of the circles as x and y coordinates in the resolution of the picture in the video frame. By now, these coordinates are stored in an array. These are the points i need to track."Tracking" means i have to check which point in the array belongs to which sphere on the target. I know the relation of centers to sphere in the first frame (meaning at the start of the video i know which center belongs to which sphere), because this is a special initialization postiion. From this point on , the relation must be calculated by the tracking algorithm...
I only found one tracking concept, called "IPAN Tracker", but it seems to me a bit overloaded since i dont have such a great number of points to track and I wonder if there is an easier solution for just 5 points...
Thanks for reading all this, hope this wasnt too long Oo
greetings,
Binom

Is there a way to motion track a point in a shape layer?

Hi all,
Is there a way to motion track a point in a shape layer?
Thanks

As Mylenium points out, you can't to it directly. But if you're willing to jump through a hoop, you can: Precomp that shape layer!
Now AE will see it as another piece of footage, which can be motion tracked. You can use Mocha or AE built-in motion tracker, depending on the nature of your precomp.
Alternately, you can simply parent a null object to the shape layer. After you do so, you can adjust the null's position, positioning it precisely where you want it to be in relationship to the shape layer. It will then maintain that relative position, following right along with any animation applied to the shape layer.

Mixed CD's with Track Indexes?

Hello All,
Is there a way or is it going to be possible to have track index markers for mixed CD compilations that I've imported "joined". Then I could have artist info for the songs of a joined mix compilation. Being able to skip past a track in the mix would be great.
Thanks

I don't believe that link refers to creating your own mixes as the reply states that it can be used if (say) you have downloaded a long mix from somewhere.
In any event, you'll need to find software of a similar nature as iTunes won't do what you want.

My Blackberry 9300 track pad pointer not stable.

Please help me, my Blackberry 9300 track pad pointer is moving upward on it own, even when I try to scroll down or side. I wiped the phone, but the problem still continues. Please help me. What should I do?

Oh...you elected to skip past backing up your data. OK...your choice.
The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Help with tracking. Point or Planar???

I am making a short action sequence for fun and am having extreme difficulty tracking some of the explosions and blood splatter effects in the short. The main blood splatter I tracked with a point tracker in AECS4 and it's extremely shacky and you can cleary see how fake it is. So then I looked into it and realized planar tracking with Mocha existed and I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. This is a link of a RAM preview of what I have with the point tracker. Am I even close to being on the right track? SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

There are lots of tutorials for using mocha. Start here.

ITunes Track Starting Point

I am trying to merge an iTunes track into the audio on a piece of footage but I want the iTunes track to start at a certain point not at the begining.
I want to fade out the original audio and fade in the iTunes track starting a minute or so in.
Can't seem to find how to go about it.
Help!

The easiest way is to use the Clip Trimmer.
Here's how:

Can tracker index open document format files?

On my system, tracker doesn't seem to index them, and their web page is quite vague on the topic, so does anyone have a definite answer? Also, if tracker can't index ODF files, is there an alternative that can?
Thanks for your answers!

Support for the Nikon D40 was added in Camera Raw version 3.7. So you would need Photoshop Elements 4.0 or later to be able to use that.
To use your version you may need to download the free DNG converter from http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ and convert your D40 files from NEF to DNG.

Only other blutooth device is keyboard in the house BTW. Thanx

Hi. you can read this link for some possible solutions. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203171 You could also try a pram reset. Command/Option/P/R keys at startup for three chimes.

Erratic track pad pointer.

Hi new to the community. First post. I have a 2012 Macbook Pro (15 inch). I am running OS X Yosemite. For no reason at all, all of a sudden the track pad arrow is erratic and highlights words and gives the dictionary definition, moves the pages around and is driving me nuts! I am not a computer geek. I just want it to work. Any suggestions?
