Triangular poly filter for live action?

Is there a filter that yields a triangular poly look to a live action clip with the polys following the natural contour of the imagery...similar to a low res 3D render?

It would be fantastic if someone cracked that, would it not? No, short of experimental 3D reconstruction software or things like the various Kinext experiments there is no such software that I'm aware of and even if there were, to get a proper polygon flow you'd need more than one view. Y'know, self-intersections and other ambiguous situations that won't work from just one fixed angle...

Two par biddig and live action for sinle document

Hi,
I have a requirement for a sngle shopping cart at the time of sourcing is it possible to carry out live action process and bidding (RFx process) simultaneously for single shopping cart document.

only one JAy is correct.
SC Item will not agian appear in the cockpit once it was converted to next follow on docuement and Object links are created.
OR
You can create an auction by converting an RFx into an auction. This enables you to process converted auctions more efficiently and use bids copied from an RFx to drive competitive bidding. You can choose to copy full-quantity bids without attributes from the RFx to the auction; only valid bids created for the current external version of the RFx are transferred during conversion.

Can you set up a template for live performance in GarageBand for iPad Air?

II'm trying to set up a template for live performance using GarageBand on my iPad Air. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

QuickTime is AppleScript aware and has its own "dictionary". Many scripts and droplets have already been compiled and you can download them from this link:
http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
Some need further editing to update them to version 7 features but it's not difficult using the Script Editor app.
Tiger's new Automator app could also be used but its feature set is rather basic. Newer actions are available for download from the Mac OSX Downloads page.

How to add live action video to the timeline in Adobe Flash CS5?

Hi, I want to make an animation over live action footage, I've looked on the guides and the ones which explain what I need to do are for previous versions of Flash and don't work on CS5.
I'm wondering how I can import a video in to Adobe Flash CS5, so that it plays in the timeline frame by frame? I dont mean putting it on one frame so it will play, but so i can edit objects over the top of the flash in each single frame
Thanks.

So are you saying that you cannot embed the video directly into the main timeline (I don't use CS5) as you could with earlier versions?
Overall I wonder if you are using the wrong tool for the job. Flash is not a video editor and attempts to use it as such often fall short. Adobe After Effects or even a simple video editor may work better:
http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html
If that is not an option... how about
.... embed video directly into main timeline... or
... convert video file to .swf, then import .swf... extending timeline as needed..... or
... if vid is short, do frame grab for each frame, save as bitmap, import the series of bitmaps, place them on layer below animation... or
but to keep the video synced to the animation, you'll need to set the Flash doc frame rate to exactly the same as the original framerate of the video. For example, if shot in mini-dv format, the frame rate of the video is 29.97 so the Flash doc frame rate would need to be 29.97 also.
Best of luck,

How do you filter for photos with develop adjustments?

I wanted to put this information out there, because it was difficult for me to find an answer to the question of "how do you quickly filter for photos that have develop adjustments?"
Some earlier posts in this forum observe that a smart collection has the ability to filter files wherein "has adjustments" is "true." Yes, it can do that. And it can also add in a "date" parameter for more specific targeting. But it cannot simply say, "in the current folder," or "in the selected folder." And frankly, that's the exact situation when I need to filter down to the files I want: I'm in a folder—typically the current folder that I've just imported—and I've done a smattering of develop adjustments. Now, I want to quickly select just those images for export. Can't be done, not with a Smart Collection, anyway.
But Lightroom is nothing if not deep, and if you approach the problem from a filtering standpoint, it will eventually get you there—but the solution is very non-obvious. Expose the filter bar, with your favorite preset: camera info, default columns... it doesn't really matter. Hover over the header bar and to the far right will become visible the "add column" widget. Add a column. From the pop-up menu on the name will come a long list of options, the second-to-last of which is "develop preset." Once that's in place, click on "custom." Save your current settings as a new preset and give it a descriptive name like "adjusted images."
Now, when you're in your current—or any—folder, just click on "metadata" in the filter bar, and your custom preset will be in effect: any images that you've worked on will be selected. It's a fast, one-click selection.
If there's another way of doing this (keep in mind it's for the selected or current folder only), let me know. It's such a seemingly desirable action that I'm kind of astounded there's no built-in or easy or obvious way to do it... or that no photographer has requested it.

I am honored to have a response from Rikk "MVP" Flohr, and I do readily agree that your approach is one way to approach the issue. It puts the relevant images in a discrete area that is easy to access. However (this is where I look a gift horse in the mouth) I find "sorts" a bit underwhelming in comparison to "filtering." Two problems: first, the sort still does not 'clear your deck' of unwanted images. You still have to squint at the badges and carefully select the range at the top (or bottom). Mistakes can be made (and I would be the first to make them). Second, the sort command is "sticky," meaning that folder will always have that sort unless you undo it. In general, I think most photographers want to see a folder's images sorted by capture time, so they can easily glance to the beginning, middle, and end of the shoot. With my method, once you click out of the folder, the filter is taken away and you're back to normal.
I do understand that Lightroom wants me to flag my images with rankings or stars or colors or dancing beavers or what-have-you. But in this particular situation, that's an extra step. If I've applied development adjustments, it's already done. Why shouldn't I be able to choose "Select Developed Photos" from the Edit menu, right under "Select Flagged Photos"?

Can I video capture 'live action' from Viewer screen ...

Can I capture 'live action ' video as it appears on the 'viewer screen' in iMovie as I move the cursor across the 'source video' clips. Does iMovie allow me to record this 'action' to hard drive ?? ... Suggestions greatly appreciated.

it is this 'rapidly changing 'still' images' as it appears in the 'viewer' that I want to record.
You could use a screen capture application like Snapz ProX to capture the "preview" window as it is either playing or being "scrubbed." On the other hand, if you have QT Pro, you could also export the original source clip as a sequence of still images (image frequency can be selected by the user) to a folder and then simply open the "Image Sequence" using QT Pro to create a motion clip with a user selected frame rate for viewing. This approach would provide a more even playback than a screen capture of a "scrubbed" playback which depends on how fast and steadily you "scrub" the file.

AS3 - 1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place; 2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true - ActionScript 3 - flash cs3 cs4

Hi folks,
Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
       i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)
       ii) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.CountdownTimer Class in the package. (file: CountdownTimer.as)
c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems need to be Resolved)

Problems to Resolve:
Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
Problem#1 Description:
I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within New York, NY 10012.
Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
Problem#2 Description:
Secondly I need to Detect the End of Stream state while using FLVPlayback component, an rtmp:// live Stream from FLASH MEDIA SERVER.
I need to Play a YuMe Post-Roll Ad when Steam Finishes/Ends.
Live Broadcast Stream Event starts every night on Wednesdays & Saturdays exactly at 10:59 PM EDT GMT-4.
Live Events only Streams/Broadcasts the stream for 50secs. exactly. When [playback stopped] it plays a PostRoll Ad and after the CountdownTimer again comes back to life. The Next upcoming Event is calculated & the Countdown begins until Next Event's time/date is reached.
Here is the code on the frame 1 on the MainTimeline: (rest of the params like source, volume, skinAutoHide are Set using Property Inspector for FLVPlayback instance on Stage)
//myStream instance of FLVPlayback is on the Stage
myStream.isLive = true;// Frame 1 Actions in the FLA
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onEndOfStream);
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onState);
myStream.addEventListener(String(VideoError.NO_CONNECTION), onStreamError);
myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
/*if(myStream.stopped){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);

     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
function onStreamError(event:VideoError) {
     trace(event.code + "\n\t" + event);
function onState(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function onEndOfStream(event:VideoEvent) {

Importing 3D objects to animate within live action

Regarding motion tracking, I'd like to import a 3D model of a robot and interact it with live action characters in a scene. Nothing too complicated - it hovers around but, it needs to be in 3D space for realism. What I've read of tracking, I can put an object in a scene and lock it down through camera movement and such. I would imagine the rotobrush tool will come in handy for this process. I just haven't wrapped my brain around how to animate this robot in a scene where the camera may be moving. Any suggestions?

3d tracking a scene is never "nothing too complicated".
The most important step is having a good script.
Other steps following that will include planning, storyboarding, shooting the scene (with enough tracking markers - or trackable elements - in the right places in the shot), shooting a clean plate (also, take the chance to grab some ambient room noise for your audio editing later), and shooting an HDRI - note: this is not an all-inclusive list.
That was all just pre-production and production.
Steps in post would include tracking the shot, modeling the 3d elements, texturing the 3d elements, lighting the 3d elements, animating the 3d elements, rendering the 3d elements and their various passes (object buffers, ambient occlusion, shadows, lights, motion vectors, depth pass, etc.), compositing your 3d elements into the scene (which will involve color correction and may or may not involve keying, rotoscoping, and other techniques - you'll figure this out during the planning stages), rendering out your composite in a proper intermediate codec, bringing your final shot into your editing program, adding sound design, color grading, and producing a finished file in the correct delivery codec. Again, there is more to it than this, but these are some of the basic steps.

SRM 07 Live Action

Dear Expert,
I am starting to work with the SRM 07 Live Action.
I can enter to the Live Action after I published the Action.
Can someone tell me how to create password to the bidders I added to the auction?
How can I create the URL for them?
Can they enter the action using regular internet Access?
Thanks,
Yaron

Hi,
You will have to have the vendors in the SRM vendor organization, and also create contact persons to these vendors.
So when you create contact persons you will have a su01 user with bidder role associated with it, hence for the same su01 user a portal user with bidder role has to be created.
Once the live auction is published the bidders have to login to the portal with above user and access the live auction.

Sam

Rotoscoping and live-action animation

Is it possible to do rotoscoping and live-action animation in iMovie? This type of animation was used in the "Take On Me" music video by a-ha in the 80's and more recently in the Charles Schwab commercials and the movie "A Scanner Darkly" starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder.
iMac 1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

welcome SCD to the  boards of discussions...
iM is a consumer video edit app... import some minutes of miniDV camcorder stuff, edit it - done...-
such elaborated effects as rotoscoping are for sure NOT supported... these are domains of the Big Guys as Final Cut (I'm using FCElements for the "special effects" in my homemovies...) or $$$$ Motion, After Effects etc.pp.
they main need to do such effects is a second video-layer.. which iM doesn't support...-
the "poor-man's effect machine" is the combo of a grafic app + QTpro... that will allow to convert a bunch of handpainted pics into a solid dv-stream for iM... I did that for my lil' StarWars project I made for my son... (which reminds me to finally finish the making_of website < slapping own forehead .. > )
another, excellent tool for rotosoping is

Program for Leaving Action..

Dear All,
We have created a leaving action with set of Infotypes and certain actions and we have to carry out this action for about 5,000 employees.
Now user needs to have a certain program to carry out the action as it's not feasible to carry out manually for 5,000 employees.
Now my qestions to you all is
1. Do you have any Std Program which takes care of this
2. IS their any Std Function Module/BAPI exists which can be used
3. Do we need to write our own BTC/LSMW/etc
Kindly suggest.
FYI : I have already tried one program using the FM - HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION but this FM is not working for Action - DELIMIT (LIS9) for various Info types so now wondering what to do next. Kindly suggest.
Thanks and have a nice day ahead.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best regards,
Mangalagi S V

Dear All,
Thanks to all those who have responded to this.
Unfortunately I can't go for BDC also as I was told that they might add/delete certain info types for this particular action.
In my program, I am reading table T588M for the action and taking all the infotypes and the related action into my own internal table, after that I am generating the dynamic internal table for each infotype and then reading the Infotype using HR_READ_INFOTYPE and proceeding for related operations using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION but this LIS9 was not working so I have to check out as Suresh suggested. Hope every things goes fine with my coding...!!, any way it looks to be big exercise and needs lots of testing.
Thanks for your valuable inputs.

Report for Hiring Action Along with BASIC Pay

Dear
I have created a BDC for hiring action for which data is updated in infotypes 0,1,2,6,7,8,9,14,15,16,41,105,587,588 mentioned in the infogroup.
Earlier we are not creating entries in 0008 now we need to BASIC PAY in the hring Action.
What should be the best apporch.
Either we create perner by giving infotype values 0,1,2. and put this values in internal table and then update other infotypes.
OR
In a single fo we provide all the data related to infotypes by using PA40.
Now record need to be created of few of additonal infotypes which is not part of hiring action infogroup like 19,21,22,23,185.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Thanks for your valueable comment.
AS hiring action it is must to input values of infotype 0,1,2.
So acccording to you firstly, i need to hire a person through bdc.
So for next infotypes i need to do by PA30. But for this i need pernr which i created in first step.
how it is possible to get perner created and then go for one by one infotypes sepratley.
