Tracker AE or Mocha..Tip or Trick for hanging on to track?

Hello Guys,
Thanks for being here. I am trying to track a 25 second spot and Mocha keeps kicking the track. My settings match (See pics) I get about halfway thru and my track flies off the spot. I am trying to figure how to add some texture to my foootage so Mocah or AE has something to calibrate off of. Right now I am re trying with Motion Tracker, as I have had many failed attempts trying Mocha. no matter where I place the track screen/matte. To then tie it to a null in my comp. I tried corner pin which worked in the first part of the comp fine. But the second part had a slight jitter and a pan that kicks it... Any ideas on how to get the track to stick? Other then a manual KF? I started that and there are about 550 easy that need attention... Yikes! Right.
TRACK:
Point my Track Kicks:

HI Rick,
Yes, you are correct in my goal of tracking the window area to place my sign. I agree with you about the sign looking better in the middle and Rotoing my actor to have the ability for him to pass in front. As of now I am concerned with getting a proper track for that window, to not be jittery and look like what it is. Superimposed graphic stuck in there.
Thanks for the video links, they are appreciated. I search around and find a ton of stuff that is a regirg of another lesson. I will take the time to watch those. Thank you for the layout of the track matte, or spline placement. (which I think are one in the same?) 
A couple of clarity questions please:
YOU-The 4 green splines are what I would use to track the shot. If they hold position properly then you can accurately set up another spline and use that as a matte. ~  You are referring to 4 seperate mattes in green in your original illustration?  I ask because, I only see one layer in your illustration, yet there are 4 mattes/splines? I am hav not noticed before if I can create more then one spline/matte in a layer?
YOU-The other layer would become Layer 2 in Mocha and you would link it to the track you get with layer 1.
~The "other layer"-this being the first layer with 4 splines? I ask becuase again I did not see a layer for those 4 splines in your C.P in the original Illustration, which I think you are referring to?
Maybe the videos will enlighten me a bit more...
The reason you did not address some of my previous questions is becuase my assumptions were correct in regards to the "lingo"?
I figured out how to move the matte as one unit BTW.... Marquee and drag it around with the Move Icon
The key to using mocha is to end up with a good track. I'm assuming that your layer kicking out means that you are having problems with the track and it is requiring a lot of adjustments--Correct. Kick means to fly off set point.
Thanks for showing me a better way to track that shot. I was not thinking out of the box. Literally, I was making boxes. What you did was trace the columns wich have texture. And not making boxes. Appreciated. I will watch those videos.
One more note, I am going to re-master my asset in PPro, I sped up the footage to 150% for a silent movie feel as this will be done that way and tooning will be added to this. Do you think the 150 Time change over in PP and exporting a Uncompressed AVI at 29.9 FPS would cause Tracker to "Spit the Bit" or Kick?

    We are trying to install ADF runtime lib, from jdeveloper it is asking server home which is on UNIX (/opt/oracle/product/10gas) and it is not taking... our connection is sucess.. Alternate option it is saying is install from zip.. Do you think we are making any mistake..
    If you are deploying to Oracle Application Server Release 2 (10.1.2), you have to perform some additional steps before you can run your ADF applications:
    2. You need to install the ADF runtime libraries on the application server. This is because the ADF runtime libraries that were shipped with Release 2 (10.1.2) need to be updated. To install the ADF runtime libraries, see Section 34.12.1, "Installing the ADF Runtime Libraries from JDeveloper". "

  • Office 2013 APP-V Tips and Tricks

    Hi there, 
    I got Office 2013 working with APP-V 5.0 Sp2 and rolling it out globally. 
    Out of the box nothing goes wrong, but i'm testing a lot and whenever I unpublish and do not delete the old programdata directory my computers go nuts. 
    Does anyone have any tips and tricks for troubleshooting the Office 2013 APP-V Package? 
    For Example I unpublished the Office 2013 APP-V package because I needed to update it with a connection group and add an excel plugin. After I updated the excel plugin and connection group, the connection group was configured succesfully. Whenever I try
    to open Office 2013 on a already used account it won't start without an error message. 
    When I log in as as different user everything goes fine. 
    However everything i'm trying to fix this for a particular user on the computer fails. 
    Manually removing the packages gives an error. Something with a rollback error. Really strange. 
    Does anyone have tips and tricks on rolling out App-v and publishing/unpublishing the application and modifying application connection groups. 
    This is driving me bananas because we have a dynamic changing environment. Out of the box it works fine but don't try to change anything because the computer goes nuts. 

    So I found out this value:     <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
    So if I perform the remove-appvclientpackage command I guess it sticks on this because something in the script goes wrong but how do I found
    out what goes wrong? 

  • Please help. Performance tips and tricks on Camera RAW 6.6 needed.

    Hello I really need your help and I want to thank you in advance for your time!! I need performance tips and tricks for Camera raw 6.6 and Bridge CS5? I have Intel i7 920, with 16GB of RAM which I thought is powerful enough to make developing in Camera RAW smooth as butter but I am not getting that performance. When I slide the settings, it has a delay for the preview and it gets worse if I apply a vignette. I usually open the camera raw file to photoshop and sometimes it does take a considerable amount of time to load. Working on photoshop is great, quick as expected, but Camera RAW makes me cringe.
    What tips and tricks would you suggest for performance boost? The best case scenario is to have the preview reflects the changes of the slider without delay. Is this possible?
    Thank you very much.

    Thank you for your help.
    I found an adobe link on how to optimize lightroom and followed some tips there that are applicable to bridge. The notable setting I tweaked was to change my cache directory to my RAID 0 drive, and increased cached size to the maximum setting. The difference is night and day, and I am extremely  happy now. The only thing that still bugs me a little is that there is still a slight delay cropping when the vignette is not set to 0 . I can understand that's a little extreme though and I usually add the vignette at the end anyways.
    Yammer P:
    After making the tweaks, I was able to slide the settings with instant previews even with Noise Reduction (luminance) set to zero.
    Robert Shomier:
    Thank you for the link, I have seen that before and followed the directions. I upgraded to 16GB of RAM two weeks ago after reading the tips.
    Thank you guys again..

    At one point in time I used to visit the Arch forums quite actively in my efforts to contribute back to the community.  More recently, I've stopped reading the forums but I now wish to get back into the "swing of things" and read/write the forums daily.  I'm curious as to any tips or tricks the forum "regulars" know about to better tackle daily forum viewing.
    The 2 helpful things I know about are..

    How do you guys and gals participate in the forums so much and still have time to be a dev, work, eat, sleep.. rofl  you get the picture! Tell us your secret strategy!

    I recommend the Vimperator Firefox extension.  Once you couple that with the It'sAllText extension you can zip through the forums very easily.
    Why do you need It'sAllText? Simply hit ctrl + I
    But you can only change tabs while gvim is open with the most recent version of vimperator.

  • Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

    Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
    1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
    Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
    2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
    You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
    3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
    You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
    4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
    The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
    5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
    BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
    6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
    The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
    Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
    7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
    The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
    8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
    The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
    9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
    Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
    10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
    You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
    Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
    And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.

  • CSS General Tips and Tricks, Please if you can add to this, thanks

    I thought of some general guidelines in CSS and XHTML, please feel free to add some more if you think i missed, thanks in advance !
    No Empty Divs
    Use text-indents in hyperlinks for images and images background so that the  div does not remain empty
    Even if you have a division marker that contains a backgrounds and is  embedding another inner-container (or any other reason), use a  text-indent:-9999px so that it does not appear empty.  This misuse has led to  many misinterpretations by search engines
    Validate your codes on W3C
    Even if there is a warning, there’s always this possibility to wipe it out  and write the right piece of code for it.
    No Ids! Classes & inheritance
    We’re in 2010 now ladies, things have changed and now it’s the new era.  Like  for me, it was quite a bite that day I got those slaps (uhh… let’s call that  e-slaps for the sake of this article) from my boss, who clearly mentioned the  important generic methodologies of using inheritance techniques in everything we  do… And that included CSS my oh my..
    Besides, even if you are using ids, make sure that they are unique and that  they are not being duplicated elsewhere on your page.  That’s the good thing  with the W3C validator: it doesn’t miss those
    Comment your lines of codes
    There are many advantages for this, the major one I’m considering is to help  situate the programmer in line who will be taking your codes elsewhere.  It’s a  form of diplomacy, hence good practice.
    No Styling in your html pages: out!
    It’s better to transfer all the related style, with comments alongside on  your generic style sheet
    Insert Images on web pages only if necessary
    Whenever there is an opportunity not to insert an image as an <img  src>, do it; the best practice is to load it as a background image and if  possible use write any text that’s ever found on the image instead of importing  the image from photoshop or any app you’re using down to tyou
    Anti-aliasing of gif images for better image  quality
    I have this luck of having a chief who knows quite a sleek stuffs in  photoshop and image rendering techniques and that includes gif images.
    Integrators love gifs: light, minimal use of colors.. when they’res no  curves in any way, but what about transparency ?
    There are possibilities to avoid the use of pngs, which are usually heavier  and take quite some time to load.  Sometimes when gifs are being exported, codes  or designers forget the background image on which the gif will be laid onto.   That is why anti-aliasing techniques are very important for keeping the design  intact.
    use overflow: hidden instead of clear:both
    More information can be found on this link:
    http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html
    To brief a bit, using clear is like ol’ school teaching stuff which was the  fast-driven solution while the overflow:hidden seems to satisfy the major  browsers like MSIE, FFx , Chrome, etc…
    Minimise the use of style sheets
    Avoid using different style sheets for different browsers. Use one generic  style sheet,  unless you have different themes for different pages, but that  depends.   All this creates confusion and that might also mean you are not be  using the right html codes and the right css styles
    To minimise the use of multiple style sheets, use:
    i.e. <!–[if IE  6]><div id=”IE6″><![endif]–>
    Validate your css codes on  http://jigsaw.w3.org
    Jigsaw is the CSS passport for integrators.  I never knew it, but now O I  know !
    It’s the haven.  The hide in our line of business.  It’s what keeps our ego  hmmm strong and heavily proud, the reason why integrators are so needed in the  web business.
    * Squeak *
    Always have this final habit to validate your css in the following  link
    http://jigsaw.w3.org/ to make sure that you are in line with your css  standards.  Even if there are warnings, that would mean you are wrongly  interpreting your css codes or that some styles have been duplicated here and  there.
    Conclusion
    That’s all for now folks.  I think , whenever I’ll have some more time, I’d  probably create a CSS tips and tricks Part 2, cos amending what’s already there  would sound so cheap and it’s not like facebook, uhh Sheran changed that  article, etc..
    It’s good to have some feedbacks and all, well, that’s probably interesting  to know what’s out in the CSS jungle, so jot in some lines, criticise, be blunt  and bold and don’t hesitate to contact me (except ma okes at work, you know who  you are, ladies) for any info ya need
    À La Prochaine !

    use CSS, it will save you time no matter how much DW does things automatically for you
    if you don't know how it's done, ask or view source. css is client side code and can be viewed.
    use divs instead of tables for layouts
    firefox has a great plugin called HTML Validator (http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/). you don't have to keep going to the w3c website to validate. when viewing your page within firefox it will validate it and tell you any errors and warnings. saves me a lot of time. it's also great if you're development environment is behind a firewall - you won't have to view source, copy & paste onto w3c validator. they don't have support for html5 yet
    this could be more of style and preference but i use multiple files of css. usually 2 or 3. one is for the layout (layout.css), one is for forms (form.css) and one for display data. anything more can become more work when it's time to make any changes, especially with multiple people working on the same project
    create a standard workflow. naming conventions for file names, class names, etc.
    i'm not sure you can get away from those IE specific css. i've tried a campaign at work to not support IE so that we become fully compliant with the web but unfortunately, IE still has a lot of users. what we've done is support IE but the latest versions only. M$ is at least getting better with being compatible.
    view the page in firefox and IE. if they work, then you should be fine with the other browsers. as a developer, it's my responsibility to ensure that any user whether mac or pc can view the website - as long as they are running the "latest" version of the browser. latest as in what the software developer still supports.
    well that's my tips, tricks and a little pet peeve here and there

  • Tip - Hidden Keys for Portable Home Directories

    FYI, the following info was posted by John de Troye on the Client Management mailing list.
    hth,
    b.
    Buried inside the managed client properties are a set of keys that allow more overt control of the portable home directory (PHD) behavior. Many people have asked for a procedure to block the error message that pops up when users change computers (the "Your network home has changed..." dialog). Others have asked about being able to force a dominant direction for syncing the portable/local home and the network home directories. The keys noted below can be applied inside the Preference Editor in Workgroup manager for a set of computers, groups, or users using the Mobility settings. They can also be applied using the 'defaults' command directly at a standalone client.
    In WGM, in the account (computer/group/user) that you are establishing mobility for, select the Details tab in the Preferences settings. Locate the "com.apple.homeSync" domain. It should contain various settings, such as "excludedItems-raw" and "syncPeriodSeconds". You can click on the 'Always' or 'Once' setting (your choice) and then on the 'New Key' button. You will then add the new keys as needed.
    domain: com.apple.homeSync
    key: "loginConflictResolution"
    description: who wins login/logout conflicts
    values (number):
    1 = local home wins
    2 = network home wins
    comment:  DANGER: this may also affect the first time sync;
    key: "periodicConflictResolution"
    description: who wins background/Sync Now conflicts
    values (number):
    0 = show conflict dialog
    1 = local home wins
    2 = network home wins
    key: "periodicSuppressErrors" = suppress background sync error messages
    values (boolean):
    true = suppress error dialogs
    false = show error dialogs
    A key (no pun intended) point to be aware of is that you should rigorously test this out with some test accounts first. Finding out that your users lose all of their files because you decided to force the sync in one direction is not a good way to establish user vs support relations.
    This material, with pictures, will be in the next Tips and Tricks doc.

    I've found this page which seems to do exactly what I want. Though I don't understand what a loginhook is and where I would put this text.

    Hi Steven,
    Craig's links are goods and he made me laugh
    Just to let you know - I've just submitted something to SDN that might be the kind of thing that you were looking for. I'll probably need to amend it so that it conforms to any SDN standards but then it'll be available for everyone to view/use.
    So sit tight and I'll let you know how the work progresses.
