Trouble adding a transition

I added to clips to a sequence without a transition, but now I want to add one. I have been trying to follow the instructions in the electronic manual, but it is not working. I have been trying two different ways:
Putting the play head between the two clips and trying to select that point (I also tried adding a marker at that point) and using Command-T, but nothing happens.
I put a Mark In near the end of the first clip and a Mark Out near the beginning of the second clip, but Command-T results in a message "Insufficient Content for Edit." The same thing happens even if I move those in and out points farther apart.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ben

If the OUT and IN marks are just at the end of the first clip and at the beginning of the second clip, respectively, there is not enough media for the transition to work. Each of the 2 clips must have a "handle", that is additional media both on the right of the OUT point of the first clip and before the IN point of the second clip.
To add handles, simply move the OUT point left by 15 frames (for example) and the IN point right by the same amount, to allow a 1 sec transition to work. If the 2 clips were already in the timeline close the new 1 sec gap (drag the second clip to its left) and apply the transition.

Note: shortening the clips by moving their IN and OUT points always discards some media you captured, but this cannot be avoided; on the other hand you should always make sure additional footage is shot before and after the main clips, if you want to make room for transitions.

Trouble adding simple transition between clips

Hi, for the life of me I can't solve this simple problem. I'm used to using Premiere and this was easy but FCP is giving me grief. I'm assembling a simple sequence of video clips in the timeline. Each clip is at least 3 seconds long and they are snapped together in the timeline. I want to add a 1 second cross dissolve centered over where each clip joins the other. Everytime I drag the cross dissolve over the area it makes a tiny sliver of a transition. I can't make it bigger. I should be able to grab each side and drag it out to make it bigger but nothing happens. I've tried other transitions also but I keep getting this tiny sliver of a grey transition. The timeline is stretched out far so the default 1 second transition should appear large, but it's not.
A friend has said he's had this happen before as well but he can't remember how he got around it.
This is driving me crazy, any help is appreciated.

#1 Transitions "Insufficient Content"
Shane's Stock Answer #1:
You need to make sure that your clips have enough media (called 'handles') at the beginning of the incoming clip and at the end of the outgoing clip for the transition. For example, if you have a 1 second (30 frame) dissolve, your in and out point need to be at least 15 frames from the edge of the clip.
What you are running into is that you are marking an out point at the end of a clip then adding a cross dissolve, say 20 frames in duration. Since the dissolve is centered on the cut, it will start 10 frames before the cut, and try to go 10 frames AFTER the cut...which it can't do.
What you need to do is plan how long your dissolve will be and back-time your cut so that it works.

Shane Ross, "Stock Answers", 03:58pm Jan 13, 2005 CDT
a full 1 second crossfade reaches 15 frames into each clip. So, if you want to change a cut to a crossfade, there has to be at least 15 additional frames of each clip.
Say you're trying to crossfade from one clip into the very first frame of a second clip. FCP cannot 'create' 15 more frames of the second clip to do a crossfade. If they're not there, you're out of luck.
FCP has to extend the end of your first clip by 1/2 of your transition length, and the beginning of your second clip by 1/2 of your transition length, so those frames need to be in your system. The nature of a crossfade is mixing two clips together.

New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?

0New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?8I have a new zen 4gb unit and love it, saw it has a memory card slot so i stuck an 8gb sdhc sandisk 3 extreme memory card in there, figured I could dump more fun stuff in there on it but when i use the zen explorer i don't see that card.
I formatted the sdhc card in fat 32 and named it sd4zen yet when its in the zen and i check my computer I am not seeing the card in the windows menus to drag stuff over onto for the zen nor is it showing in any of the zen media explorer areas.
Do i need to dump stuff onto the memory card externally (thru a card reader first) then insert it and access that thru the memory part of the zen menu, or are the zens not able to read from an sdhc sd card or is 8 gb too big (compatability)?
Thanks for any help on this,
Bill

I am a dork, a few mins messing with it i realized in the main menu of the zen with the card inserted hit removable disk and hook up via usb, now my computer sees the sd4zen dri've and i can dump more fun stuff for zen on there...
Sorry to take up space maybe someone will read this and help them with the same issue i was having or mods if you choose just delete.

Trouble adding comments using Reader X from enabled comments in Acrobat 9

I am a Technical Writer with Acrobat 9. Regularly I make my documents comment enabled for reader. IT has been updating systems and some of my recipients now have Reader X. Because of the difficulty they have, when they open the commentable PDF they are having trouble adding comments and wind up printing the document, marking up the hard copy, scanning it and emailing it back. What am I doing wrong? Is Reader X not downward compatible? We want to move forward with technology, not backwards.

Right click the document opened in Reader X and then click "Select Tool".
Hope that helps.
Thanks,

Having trouble adding purchased and imported music to my playlists

I'm having trouble adding purchased and imported music to my play lists. For example when I purchase or import new music to my playlists I have to re sync my ipod or the new songs don't appear on my playlists. Perhaps this is because I once unplugged my ipod w/out first disconnecting it. Previously when I purchased and imported music songs would appear on my play lists when I dragged them from purchased to playlist.

I do have an icon of my iPod but if I click on it it disconnects my iPod from iTunes.
If the iPod is connected via Wi-Fi, please connect with USB. If it's already on USB, or if USB is the same. log out or restart the computer and also restart the iPod, then try again. If it still doesn't work, see below.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

Trouble adding GoodSearch HTML search box: HTML widget doesn't work...

I'm having trouble adding a GoodSearch search engine box to my site. I've tried the HTML widget thing and also editing the code after it publishes to a folder. Each time, I get a non-functional search box as my end result.
The GoodSearch tech person says that iWeb might be stripping out or corrupting the Javascript code...interestingly enough, a Google search box works just fine with post code tweaking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is a link to my test site where the search box (upper right corner) is non-functional: http://web.mac.com/toesproductions/KQ/Home.html
This is the GoodSearch code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function GoGoodSearch_4()

var siteURL = "koreanquarterly.org/home.html";
var openNewWindow = true;
var searchtype = document.getElementsByName("goodsearchsearchtype4");
var baseurl = "http://www.goodsearch.com/Search.aspx";
var keywordsbox = document.getElementById("goodsearchkeywords4");
if (typeof keywordsbox != "undefined")
var keywords = escape(keywordsbox.value);
var url = baseurl + "?Keywords=" + keywords;
if (charityid > 0)
url += "&CharityID=" + charityid;
if (searchtype[1].checked)
url += "&Site=" + escape(siteURL);
url += "&Partner=goodsearch_syn";
url += "&typetag=" + escape(siteURL);
if (openNewWindow)
window.open(url,'SearchResults','height=700,width=900,location=1,status=1,toolba
r=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');
else
window.location.href = url;
function CatchEnter_4(e)
var key1 = "13";
var x = "";
if (document.all)
var evnt = window.event;
x = evnt.keyCode;
else
x = e.keyCode;
if (x == key1)
document.getElementById("goodsearchsubmit4").click();
return false;

iWeb does nothing to code you add in the HTML Snippet.
Actually, iWeb does not care what you put there. It blindly saves the code in a webpage.
http://web.mac.com/toesproductions/KQ//Homefiles/widget0markup.html
So, now you have no excuse.
Just edit the code in the file above until it works.
After that, copy the code in the BODY of the page and paste in into the HTML Snippet. Otherwise it will overwrite the webpage next time you publish.

Weird error when adding a transition to gif...

I keep getting the error below. All I'm doing is trying to
add a transition to a .gif file. I've tried converting it to a
graphic , movie clip, etc and I still get the same thing. Any idea
why its doing this?
Exception in forward: TypeError: myCurrentFrame has no
properties
Error opening URL 'file:///C|/Documents and
Settings/Compaq_Administrator/Local Settings/Application
Data/Adobe/Flash CS3/en/Configuration/preview1.swf'
Exception in reverse: TypeError: tmpFrame has no properties

Well I imported the gif to the stage and added the transition
fine. No problems so far. I go on adding some more content to my
movie clip and come back later and delete the gif with the
transition. I then add the original gif into the movie and try to
put a transition to it and thats when I get the error. It also
won't show a preview of my gif either in the window that you add
transitions and such.

Trouble adding toolbars

I am trying to switch from IE8 to Firefox but am having trouble adding all of the toolbars I use daily to Firefox. I want to add CouponBar from Coupons.com, Roboform (which it said was added, but is not showing up), Adobe Contribute CS3, and Canon Easy-Web Print EX (for my Canon MX340 printer). Please advise!

For Roboform you can install the adapter for Firefox from here.
http://www.roboform.com/browsers.html
You want the one under '''Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape'''.
Browser Version XPI file to use if not installed automatically
'''Firefox 3.0 - 3.7a1pre ''Installed Automatically (roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi)'''''
Or, you can install it with this link:
http://www.roboform.com/dist/roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi
As far as the other three programs you mentioned, check the websites for those programs to see if they even have a toolbar that is made for Firefox.

Trouble adding alias to the web.xml file (External Facing Portal)

I'm trying to implement the external facing portal. I don't really have any real custom content to add to it but have just created an iView that contains a webpage that's contained within a copy of the light framework.
I'm having trouble adding or accessing the alias that I've created to go to this iView.
I can test my iView by adding it to the master rule collection under one of the predefined aliases in the web.xml (e.g. portal/anonymous etc) but when i define my own (e.g. "ext" etc) and then go to http://portal:<port>/irj/ext I'm just getting an error:
The requested resource does not exist.
Details:   Go to main page of this application!
This is what my entry in the web.xml file looks like:
<web-app>
<display-name>The Java iView Runtime</display-name>
<listener>
<listener-class>
com.sapportals.portal.prt.session.HttpSessionHandler
</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet>
<init-param>
   <param-name>
      portal/anonymous
   </param-name>
   <param-value>
anonymous=1,proxy=0,low_bandwidth=0,include_in_url=1,include_application_name_in_url=1
   </param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>
   ext
</param-name>
<param-value>
anonymous=1,proxy=0,low_bandwidth=1,include_in_url=1,include_application_name_in_url=1
</param-value>
<init-param>
</servlet>
My master rule collection seems to be correct, since I can test the iView etc by adding it to a predefined alias. I've tried closing all browsers etc. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks!
I'll award points for any help.

Hi Beau
Just Have a try.
In the servlet mapping add the following entry.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name> gateway </servlet-name>
<url-pattern> /portal/* </url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<b><servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name> gateway </servlet-name>
<url-pattern> /ext/* </url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping></b>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name> prt </servlet-name>
<url-pattern> /irj/* </url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Restart after making the changes.
