Turning off the magnetic timeline?

Where the **** is the off switch?!?!?! I hope there's an option to turn it off occasionally. I don't always want things sliding around on their own, especially when I'm trying to time something to music!!!! I've been a FCP editor since day one and a professional editor for 15 years, I see how the magnetic timeline can be useful, but if I have to have it constantly engaged I have a feeling I'll be jumping off a bridge very soon!

Hey Syntax,
AVOID editing on that middle layer (STORYLINE LAYER...the cursed magnetic layer). Create a gap on that layer and stretch the heck out of it so you have lots of space to work with ...than just work above that track. I find working on the upper video layers makes life a lot easier. Starts feeling more like it should. Just grab and drag clips around without fear of other clips slipping out of sync with the lower audio track! Hope that helps you.
I really love that you can expand the clips when they have audio and independently grab and lengthen audio independently from the video and visa versa. Also I like the tracks come and go as necessary. And clips get out of the way when they need to as well by bumping above to a higher or lower layer. That's VERY cool IMO!
We need Apple to get rid of that middle STORYLINE layer..IT'S ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!

When I drag a synchonised clip to timeline, can I turn off the video's audio track only without breaking apart clips?

I have preparred many clips by synchonising them with audio recorded on H4N - and have these in keywords.
When I drag them to the timeline, do I have to break apart each clip item to turn off the video's audio track or is there a shortcut to doing this?

For each clip you can go to the audio portion of inspector and uncheck/disable the tracks you don't desire. That would take longer than Tom's method, but I think the audio won't show up as a blank later on.

How do i turn off the service searching?plz read

Ok so I was stationed to Iwankuni Japan and of course my awesome iphone doesn't work out here :'-( how can i turn off the phone part so that i can still have my wifi on and it isn't searching for service?
pretty much i want to make it an ipod touch.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Just put it into Airplane mode: settings> airplane mode on
This will also disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth though. To avoid this, take out the SIM card; then you'll have Wi-Fi, and all the non-phone features. Use a paperclip to press on the hole next to to the earphone recess; press firmly and the SIM card tray will pop out. Make sure you put the SIM card somewhere safe, away from magnetic sources. When you return home, simply put the SIM card back in; and you'll resume normal service, with no need to activate again.

In Safari 5.0.6 how do I turn off the auto save to contact list of addresses I send mail to?t

How do I turn off the auto saving to my contact list of every e-mail address I send a note to?

It might help knowing that Apple uses the term "Versions" instead of AutoSave. I have not yet found how to turn it off, but in the meantime, here's how to delete "Previous Versions":
Do one of the following:
If you have unsaved changes in a document, choose File > Revert To, and then click Previous Save.
Hold the pointer to the right of the document title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Browse All Versions from the pop-up menu.
Click a gray tick mark along the timeline on the right to display various versions of your document.
Do one of the following:
To restore your document to the state of a particular version, display that version, and then click Restore.
To delete the displayed older version, hold the pointer to the right of its title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Delete This Version. To delete all older versions, press the Option key while holding the pointer to the right of the older version’s title, click the arrow, and then choose Delete Old Versions.
To create a new untitled document that duplicates a particular version, display the version, press the Option key, and then click “Restore a Copy.”
To leave your document in its current state, click Done.

How do I turn off the Audio included in "Epic Drama" so I can hear my own soundtrack?

I have used "Epic Drama" to create a Movie but I am unable to turn off the audio included with it so I can hear my own soundtrack. I have clicked on the little speaker symbol within the frame and a line goes through it but the sound s NOT muted. Any ideas please?
Thanks

Ok, well to begin with when you unpin a music track it goes from 'floating' to 'pinned' - floating is the opposite of pinned (if something is not pinned down it is floating), so obviously you cannot unpin something from the floating box because it is already unpinned.
But you are on the right track - just wrong screen. After you have unpinned go back to you main movie editing screen - you will have noticed the purple box around the outside of your movie in the timeline has now turned green. This green box is the sound track you want to delete. This should now be easy - just click once on the green box to select it (it may look like you have selected the entire project but you haven't and then hit the 'delete' button on your keyboard and you are done.

Turn off the vertex points!!!

Is it possible to turn off the vertex points that appear
after I use the pencil tool. It is really annoying and distracting
before I even start I know those points will destroy my next
thought...
It's as if Adobe does not know how to create a program that
will allow you to naturally animate. The page thing is nice but
Can't get around these vectors!

In vector graphic programs they are called nodes or outline
points. Vertex is usually a corner node of a polygon used in a 3D
program.
No, you can't turn thmem off. This is how this kind of tool
works and it is very good for certain tasks. Many users regard
FreeHand's drawing tools the best. I think it is Corel Draw but
I'll agree that FreeHand has very good tools. Illustrator's drawing
tools are just as good but when it comes to editing existing
outlines Illustrator falls way behind.
Programs like Fireworks and Flash have less technical and
more paint like drawing tools too and maybe more suitable for you.

Freehand can do many things but it is NOT a animation tool
although you can make modest animations using layers. Flash is much
better for animation as well as FireWorks - even Photoshop (CS3)
has much better tools for animation, now with timeline and
keyframes.
But if you want to make 2D animations you probably have to
use programs like ToonBoom or Anime Studio.
It is quit trendy these days to blame Adobe for just about
anything but Adobe has not developed FreeHand - at all. It is a
former Macromedia product, Aldus's before that, and the most
complaints here are just about Adobe's decicion to discontinue
FreeHand development.

IOS 8 on the iPad: How can I turn off the night view in the iBook bookshelf?

I've already turned off the automatic switch to white on black in low light while reading my book. But other areas, such as the shelves still switch to night view and I can't find where to turn that off.

How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

FAQ: UI - How can I change the color theme, size of the text, or turn off the application frame?

CHANGING THE INTERFACE COLOR SCHEME:
The Photoshop CS6 default interface is dark, but if you prefer the lighter interface you are used to from earlier versions,
you can change it back in the appearance area. There are 4 default color themes.
Mac Photoshop > Preferences > Interface
Windows Edit > Preferences > Interface
CONFIGURING LARGER FONTS:
For those who need larger fonts, you can also change the UI Font Size down in the type area.
Be sure to restart Photoshop to see the changes.
TURNING OFF THE APPLICATION FRAME
CS6 opens now by default in "Application Frame". You can go Window>Application Frame in the main meu and uncheck this

Select the title / text and then click on the "i" (inspector). A colored pin wheel shows up after you click on the square box directly below the font settings inside the inspector window. Then simply drag the dot to the color you want. Like this:

New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

S1 Yoga - How to turn off the built-in display/monitor?

Hi,
Trying to find a way/hotkey to turn off the built-in display whilst I'm connected to another external monitor with the Thinkpad S1 Yoga model. Do you guys know how to do it?
I could even remap any of the default hotkeys if someone knows how to do that as well, as the defaults are not too useful for me...
Thank you!!

This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

How to safely turn off the computer while the motion servo is still enabled?

When we use PCI-7344 and set it for serve closed control, I have found a very serious problem
in using the control card in this mode.
As the card is able to control motors only with the computer at power on status, but if we are very
carelessly to shut down the computer and without the notice to turn off motor driver power first
we would always get serious sudden moves of the motors, and might cause damages to the system. The same situation also applies to when control the motors under open/closed loop stepper mode.
How should I do to prevent the above situation?
(note: in my system, we have hook up relays and timers if we could set DIO bits before shut down
the computer. But
still, there are a certain occassions that the operator would still forget to set the DIO bits
and turn off the computer directly)

The Inhibit output pin of the motion controller (also called drive enable) is the best way to achieve this. It is basically a signal that most power drives take in as an active low input so that when the powergoes out of the computer, the line goes low and immediately kills the axis so that no servo ouptut command affects the motor.

Alex Games
