Track State in Project

Hello All,
Happy New Year! I need to "track the state" of lessons in our
tutorials. What I mean by this is: I have an on-line tutorial (a
demo), it has 5 parts (lessons). I want to be able to tell/show the
user which lesson they are on, and which lesson has concluded or is
concluding. I know that captivate (3.0 here) will not track state
like a web page. I was thinking i could make a skin without
buttons, etc. but with text that says " Lesson 1 ", and then put my
app skin with-in that skin, much like your suggestion in other
topic (have a skin within a skin)
[You can view the message at
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=464&threadid=1324241&fo rumid=67.
, with one skin with no borders, etc. What do you all think?
I know this could be done easily in Flash. It is too bad that
Captivate does not comfortably import into Flash (or vice versa).
Any ideas on how to do this? I know I could put a caption or button
on each slide that says "Lesson 1" etc. I am looking for nicer
ideas,
Thanks,
eholz1

It occurred to me that there's an easier way to show slide
count.
Captivate community contributor Paul Dewhurst offers a whole
slew of widgets for Captivate at his website. He recently created
one that shows the slide information in a custom playbar, so you
might want to check it out.
It's available at Paul's site here:

Function to bounce single tracks of a project automatically?

Hi guys
Is there any function i can use on logic 9, which bounces all the single tracks of a project automatically?
I have to bounce everything in Audio, cause I am about to send the stems to someone..
The project has 88 tracks so its quite a job to do it manually..
Ca anyone help me?
cheers!
Jon

Hi !
Thx for the answer!
It worked, but it bounces the tracks without the volume settings..
Means that the tracks doesn't fit each other what volume concerns..
I think I will have to do it manually
cheers

Track "state" in Captivate 2.0

Hello Captivate Forum Members,
First - thanks for the help and good information that this
forum provides!
My question of the day is: Can I track state in captivate?
I am using Captivate 2.0.
What I mean is: I have a slide setup with 5 buttons. Each
button click takes the user to a particular slide in the
presentation. If the user clicks a button on a given slide
that "returns to the main menu" slide, is there a way to
gray-out the first button, the user has clicked? The idea
here is so the use can see which part of the tutorial
has been viewed.
Scenario - the user clicks a button, watches a presentation,
returns to main slide, click a different button, watches a
different presentation, returns to main slide, and now two buttons
are grayed out, showing which subject has been viewed so far.
thanks for any tips. I was thinking that some sort of
Javascript could be used to do this???
Thanks Again for a helpful forum,
eholz1

It's been awhile since I looked at it, but Jesse Warden's
Captivate Player might offer what you're looking for. If you're OK
with using a menu instead of buttons and breaking your sections out
into individual movies, then give it a look.
Links to a Captivate Developer Center article, documentation
and the latest version can be found at
Jesse's
website.
If you decide to use the player, be sure to grab the
documentation separately as I don't think it is included with the
latest build.

Milestone tracking in Master project plan

Hi,
I have 6 projects(project 2010) and also need to have one master project. The master project should contain milestones of each of the 6 subprojects so that the director could view status of milestones only.
Could you please suggest how should i go about this or pass references please to any sites
I dont use EPM server but only standalone project professional 2010
Thanks
mp

Hi, I would suggest to use the "marked" column to flag the milestones to track in each projects. Then in the master plan, just create a filter to display only marked milestones. Note that if you need to show all milestones in the master plan, you can simply
use the out of the box "milestone" flag.
Hope this helps,

PS - Tracking report for Project

Hi Folks,
I was needing a tracking report to check at least 3 months of changes to a project t code because I have to rectify it? This is my main problem The overall budget should be 2818 111 USD. the available balance for 2010 should have been carried over in 2011, however the overall showed 218 752 USD
Someone knows anything about it?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
As Abdul said, it is not exactly clear what you require.
CN60 is for change documents for a project.
For changes related to budget check CJI8 report.

Copy tracks from one project to another

(Hopefully, I'm just missing something obvious. Programs like Final Cut Pro and PhotoShop make it very easy to have multiple projects open and copy and paste between them.)
I frequently copy tracks I like from one project to another. Although it's possible to do, it seems a given that Logic doesn't not like to have more than one project open at a time. This complicates it a bit, but I just copy the track I want, close the current project and open the new one.
I wish in the edit menu or in the track drop-down menu there was a straight forward "Copy Track" option. Since there isn't, I just select the whole track (which is essentially all the regions) and copy and then paste into new project. The problem is that it brings the content over fine, but not the track info (name, etc.)
Is there some better way to accomplish this? I don't want to export MIDI tracks as audio, so the Export option doesn't work.
Thanks,
Dave

I looked at the video again and unless they did some editing in FCP (which would have to be the case), the following frame after selecting the regions shows both gone simultaneously.
It is quite possible of some FCP editing but as I said first you can do that very fast using two neighbor keys so it can look as one magic shot. The screen capture tools use low FPS settings for media capturing about 15 fps for example.
I tend to occasionally put a blank track between other tracks as a separator (been doing this since the Master Tracks Pro days).
I think you can try a little trick for doing that. You can create a "Dummy" empty region inside a folder track for example, and use the folder track(s) as separator(s). I have not tried that yet, cause I'm away of my Logic but it must work this way.

Move tracks from one project to another?

I'd like to know if there's a way to move tracks (with or without inserts, automation and other stuff) from one project to another.
I have a project containing a working mix of a song that I've spent many hours assembling. One of my bandmates sent me parts he tracked in GarageBand, two audio tracks and one track using a MIDI instrument. I imported the GB file into LE and made some edits. I'd like to bring those three tracks into my current mix.
I understand that I can bounce each track out individually, then re-import them on new tracks in the mix project, but this means turning off all the inserts and EQ on each track and blah blah blah, it seems like there must be an easier way. Being able to directly move or import the tracks would preserve my editing flexibility in a way that bounces won't.
Please, any suggestions may prove valuable.
Thank you for your time.

...let me also re-emphasize: the GB2 file was imported and converted and tossed. I am trying to move tracks from one Logic Express project to another Logic Express project.
Just to be perfectly clear.

How do you set up the tracks, Dual Layer project

I have a dual layer disc and project.
The breakpoint will be in the middle of one of the programms. But i don't want that.
Now i want to had a 'hidden' track on layer 0 (so it becomes larger than layer 1)
But how does dvdsp4 calculate whitch tracks goes on what layer?
I've tried to put the hidden track in the outline between track 1 and track 2. But watching dvdsp4 muxing he doesn't put the hidding track between track 1 and 2, but totally at the end.
p.s. the hidden means it doens't have a button on the menu, so it isn't acceseble for people. it's just there to make layer 0 larger than layer 1.

Since you are using DVD SP 4 go to the VTS view in the outline tab. (Press F3 Key, click on outline view, and you will icon at top right in that section [still of left side of the screen] where you can toggle the screen from the list you see to somehting that will list VTS) A pciture of what I am describing is on Pg 589 of the PDF manual.
Drag the "Hidden" so that it is between the VTS for track 1 andd tracks2 (and make sure that there are markers on it (a few at least) so that (hopefully) there should be a layer break in there.

Tracking a LSMW project

Hi All,
Mistakenly a project got deleted from repository by one of the users. So is there any way that we can retrieve that project. And can we track that which user has deleted that project. Is there any way in which we can find that which user had made changes to which object and what time, like log activity.
Any help will be greatly rewarded.
Regards,
Harsh

Hello
Sorry to hear of your troubles.
Whilst this won't help you now, this highlights the need to backup repositories in the development environment (have you checked to see if the repository can be restored from a DB backup?). Deleting from test and prod should be rare as access should be limited to a release team, although it should be possible to restore it from the release package stored somewhere safe...
Configuration management is a topic that should be considered at the start of development.

Is BaseLining mandatory for Tracking Gantt in Project Server ?

Hello all,
I am new to Project Sever and I am feeling a bit uncomfortable with the usage of baselines. I just want a simple implementation where I will have my own custom defined Actual Task Start and Actual Task Finish to track the tasks. But is it possible to have
a Tracking gantt chart using these custom fields in PWA ?
I found no OOTB options to set the dates to be looked for tracking in the gantt customization.
Please update me with this. If there is no other way, then I will go ahead with the Baselines.
Thanks,
Shanky

Hello Guillaume Rouyre,
The requirement in my case is that the engineers are allowed to enter tasks at a later point of stage in the project lifecycle.
ie., Say the Engineer creates 2 tasks with
T1 & T2   :   Start: 1/2/2015      and   Finish 28/2/2015
Now the manger saves the "Baseline"
Now say the engineer updates these tasks with actuals as
T1 & T2 : Start: 5/2/205        and            Finish: 5/3/2015
Now the manager can see the Tracking gantt, the difference between the planned and actuals on the gantt chart.
But say, at this point of time the engineer adds 2 more tasks with say date
T3 & T4 : Start: 5/3/2015    and Finish: 30/3/2015.
Now these 2 tasks are not saved in "Baseline", hence the manager wont be able to track these tasks on the gantt chart. For this the manager has to set another baseline, "Baseline1" and if the engineer changes the dates for the last 2
tasks there after, the manager is unable to track these 2 tasks in the Tracking gantt chart, as the tracking gantt chart shows just the difference with the "Baseline" dates (But these 2 last added tasks are not a part of the Baseline, but are a part
of Baseline1). Until and unless I save all the tasks into a single baseline, I am unable to view all the tasks on the tracking gantt chart in Tracking View.
When I checked in the forums, I saw something about Interim Plan, where the manager can save temporarily these baselines and then combine it. But to my surprise I am unable to find that "Interim Plan" in Project Server 2013 PWA.
So is there a way that, the manager must be able to track all the tasks added by the engineer at any point of time in the project lifecycle through the "Tracking gantt charts" ?

Keeping track of multiple projects

I have an 84min movie I made years ago and want to edit a 3min trailer and a longer 12min trailer from footage I captured via the original VHS 4:3 transfer to mini-DV. I want to maintain the original 4:3 transfer but add 16:9 mattes to the two trailers.
My concern is how to keep track of the various versions I want to make. I have already created a New Project for the full 84 min 4:3 and created a 2nd New Project that I put a 16:9 matte over. Framing is quite good too.
I plan to make new projects for each version unless there's an easier way to keep track of everything. Nesting is also a consideration but I've never really done that before.
Any comments, suggestions, warnings, etc. greatly appreciated.

Not sure I understand what's wrong with the way you are doing it now.... creating new projects for each change? Or you could have one project with different sequences for each change.... Should be simple to keep track of things as long as you come up with a naming convention that works for you and then stick to it.

Unable to drag and drop itunes tracks intp idvd project

hello
After selecting media I am unable to drag and drop most of my itunes tracks into my dvd projects ,this is true for both imported cd's and purchased music
Only a few tracks will show with the + sign
any thoughts
Thanks
Paul T

Give this basic remedy a try. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
If that doesn't work, do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.

Copying an entire software instrument track from one project to another

Hello,
Is it possible to copy or import one entire software instrument track from one GB 3.0.2 project to another? At the moment I've got to copy a region from one project, open another project, paste it in the 2nd project, and open the other one again (which appears to close the 2nd project) to copy the second region. This is incredibly cumbersome because I can't have both projects open at the same time.
Has anyone found a less tiresome method to do this?
Thanks
Hiranya
Powerbook 15" Hi Res 1.67 GHz 2 Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The easiest work-around I can imagine is to join all regions of the track and copy that. Another option is to freeze the track, which will turn it into normal audio. You might also add your MIDI parts to the library. That will avoid the need to switch between projects, but does require one or two more actions.

Tracking progress in Project Server 2013

Hi,
What is the difference between the two operations:
TIMESHEET > Send > Send Progress for Selected Tasks
and
TASKS > Send Status >Selected Tasks
Thanks

Hi Robert,
The timesheet will be sent including the administrative time to the timesheet manager of the resource. Depending on your configuration, either the timesheet manager can be picked up from a predefined list of users or it could be an attribute of the resource.
The task updates will be sent to the status managers who is by default the project plan owner (this can be changed). Approving this update will also update the project plan with the actual work.
See reference below:

Adding more than one music clip/track to a project

I add the first music clip/track just fine and place it where I want it and it positions itself below the frames. When I go to add the next clip/track, it won't place where I want it. It always goes to the beginning of the project and it "surrounds" the video clips in a large purple frame. I can move it downstream to where I want it, but it never "places" underneath the video frames like the first clip/track. What am I doing wrong?

Drop it on the video clip, not between clips or above the clips.
