Two Questions Actually

How does one create a fade out? I don't see it in the "Effects" folder. Possibly related: is it possible to create a black (blank) clip over which to run credits?
Thanks

Fade out: you can just keyframe Opacity in the Motion tab of the viewer, or better in the timeline itself:
o- make sure Toggle Clip Overlays is ON (bottom left button in the timeline)
o- alt-click (the cursor becomes a temporary pen tool) the black line in the video clip (opacity), to create the first opacity keyframe where you want to start fade out, and again at the end of the clip
o- drag the second keyframe down to 0 (the cursor becomes a small crosshair when over a keyframe)
Now the opacity line will have an angle at the first keyframe and then run down to 0 at the second keyframe. You can also change both position and value of the keyframe in the clip at any time later to fit your needs.
You don't need a black clip for credits: just create your text with Boris Title 3D or the FCE Text generator and drag it to the timeline by itself, not over any other clip. The background will be black.
In any case if you need a bleck clip just use the Slug generator.

Two Questions Actually. Display & USB

So I haven't even had my MacBook Pro 15" for a year and one of the USB ports seems to be completely unresponsive and I have no idea as to why. As such I have no idea what to do about it either?
Second question is. I just bought a mini dvi to VGA adapter and a vga to vga chord so i could hook my MacBook Pro up to my TV. I got the chords and hooked up and Wala everything works fine I see the display on the TV and I hear the sound (cause the vga chord also had a line in chord alongside it) and then I leave to a friends. I come back today and try hooking it in again. and Its not sending the Video out this time. What is my problem? I can't figure anything out and its rather depressing. ?

Well if you haven't had it a year yet, then you should still be under warranty. You can take it to your nearest Apple store/Reseller and have the repairs performed. Your USB ports are directly attached to your logicboard, and in most cases, it needs to be replaced. (Don't worry, this doesn't involve your hard drive, so your data should be fine!)
One question though. If the Macbook Pro is less than a year old, then the video connection would be though "Mini-Display" as opposed to "Mini-DVI". Could you please confirm which port you are using?
But along the same lines, the Mini-display port is also attached to the logicboard. Being as that you are also having USB issues, these two problems might be related.
2 things you can try:
1. SMC RESET: With the computer off hold "COMMANDOPTION+SHIFTPOWER BUTTON for about 10 seconds, you should see the sleep indicator flash rapidly (Little light in front of the laptop)
2. PRAM RESET: With the computer off, press the power button and immediatly hold "COMMANDOPTION+PR" until the computer restarts. (You'll hear a second start up chime"
Hope this helps!

Migrating to Ruleframe [two questions, actually]

Hi,
I know, this is a very general question but I'd appreciate any
thoughts/reactions..
Suppose a customer has a client-server application developed
thru Designer6 without the Ruleframe approach to business logic.
Everything works fine, business logic has been implemented using
triggers,constraints and supporting stored procedures..
1. Is there any reason for the customer to add Ruleframe to his
application?
I'm curious to know if there's a real necessity to 'migrate' to
Ruleframe.
Now the customer wants his application to be 'web-enabled', in addition to the current C/S approach.
2. What are the advantages of using Ruleframe to implement this
situation? (comments on any disadvantages?)
Regards,
R Jean Pierre

Two questions on SP1 and Vista booting

Hi all,
two questions:
1) did I understand correctly that if I want SP1 on my machine I have to install it manually, as it is not included in the automatic update routines?
2) my machine failed yesterday, I got a message "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause." The only thing I can think of is that before switching it off the previous time, I had inserted a USB hard-drive to copy some files on it. But I had continued working on the machine normally. The other unusual event is that the day before it was very slow booting up, so afer it finished booting up, I restarted it.
When the system failed to start, I tried the automatic procedures several times, which always ended up with "windows cannot solve the problem automatcally,
contact your vendor". In the penultimate attempt, I also clicked on an "advanced option tab" and restored the system, but that also did not solve the problem. Then, this morning I switched the machine on again to write down the exact error message I got, and instead, unexpectedly (and rather gladly), the machine started up normally. So, what might have happened? Should I get my machine (which is less than a month old) checked?
thanks!

Yes, theres a chance to have a complete image from the actual state of your operating system including all programs etc....
There are several solutions:
1. The Commercial One: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_(software)
2. Another commercial one: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/features-cloning.html
3. The Free one: http://www.ubcd4win.com/
(but more complicated and you need in all cases a external data storage, there are some tools on this ToolsCD which are free and do almost the same like acronis or ghostimage)
I guess there are still thousands of cloning programs but I tried to give you the most important and most reliable tools.
If I were you, I would check the UBCD4Win, burn it to a CD, buy an external HDD, start the UBCD4WIn and clone your drive to the external one. So you can perform incremental backups of your HDD and if something happens, you must only do the whole process like you perform the backup just reverse.
Hope I could help you..

Two questions: how do Skype and iChat compare for group video? quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to use in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs.

Two questions: 1) How do Skype and iChat compare for group video? Quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to input in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs, saying MobileMe, AIM, GoogleTalk (Jabber) all work. Thnx

Hi,
IChat uses better Video Compression than Skype does.
On a top flight Mac you can send a 640 X 480 pixel frame up to 30 frames a sec.
Skype can't match this.
iChat in Video is Peer to Peer. (you can actually Log out of the Buddy list)
Skype seems to borrow something from everyone's bandwidth to make connections.
What do you mean by Business account Tracking ?
iChat Adds (or can add) the First Name, Last Name of your Buddies and create an Address Book Entry
Whether you mark those cards connected with a company is up to you.
(I have heard of issues with earlier version of iChat and the Address Book that "saw" the Company Name as the part of the Name and linking several Screen Names to the one name
Audio on a Mac using Skype tend to be the same as the streaming needs are less.
However you have to rely on any PCs audio abilities from PCs which may not be to the same standard.
Mac to PCs in iChat and AIM can be difficult though. (It should work but it rarely as simple as Plug and go)
Skype may suit your needs better on ocassions.

Two questions, maybe stupid ones

Hi
Two iPhoto questions if that is OK.
The first one may be irrelevant depending on the answer to the second.
By way of background,I organised my digital photos on previous computers into a directory by year, this has been on PCs until now.
Then I name a subdirectory with the name of the event, then if I modify any of the images I put those in a further subdirectory and so on.
So for example I may have, on my PC:
C:\photos\2008\Paul's wedding\worked images\printed images\weddingprint1.jpg
And I have photos from about 2003 to 2009 and each year has between 5 and 20 events and all have a folder with "worked" images.
This system is obviously a bit clunky but has worked for me.
So now I am on a MacBook Pro and have copied everything over which as gone without a hitch. I have imported the images into iPhoto and left the original copies on the MacBook Pro HD.
I like the directory structure that I use and want to keep it because it fits with previous backups, I can navigate if I share the drive over a network and so on.
However iPhoto copies the photos into its own structure, it organises everything by year as I do, but then if you look in terminal there is only one level of subdirectory. So I have, for example
my-macbook-pro:2009:worked_1
my-macbook-pro:2009:worked_2
my-macbook-pro:2009:worked_3
With no idea which each refers to unless I go into iPhoto.
This is a pain in the neck for wanting to move the photos at a later date.
So I am currently keeping all the photos in my original structure and letting iPhoto keep its own. This doubles the amount of disk space needed.
So, that was a bit of a long story.
Here are the two questions.
1. Is there a way to get iPhoto to work with my directory structure?
2. Is there any way to get iPhoto to "watch" a directory, day one called "digital photos" and all its subdirectories and add any new photos to the iPhoto library. Picassa on the PC does this. It means that all I have to do is copy photos from my camera and iPhoto will automatically update.

Terence Devlin wrote:
However, there are a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
I am not sure how it is more complex. Granted, importing from your camera to iPhoto directly is a "one step" process, but dragging and dropping your photos from your desktop (or a folder) into iPhoto after importing them from the camera is not what I would call complex.
Deleting seems straight forward as well. Pick the photo in iPhoto and delete it. However, my situation is probably different than most people. Since I don't use iPhoto as my main organization and storage for my photos, anything I add to iPhoto are what is left after I have already sorted and erased the bad ones out of my camera. I don't usually have a need to remove much from iPhoto.
Terence Devlin wrote:
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
I never used iPhoto much on previous versions because I hated the way it organized stuff and didn't like that you HAD to copy your stuff to the iPhoto library files. I recently upgraded to my OS 10.5 iMac from my old OS 10.4 eMac and decided to play with iPhoto again. When I discovered I could use it with my EXISTING library folder structure without having to copy everything into iPhoto, I have been using it more these past couple weeks that I had the past five years of having a version of iPhoto available to me.
Terence Devlin wrote:
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Perhaps.
Terence Devlin wrote:
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
Well I think there is the big difference between us. It sounds like you use iPhoto as your primary photo tool for importing and organizing your library. I do mine manually and use iPhoto as an accessory for other secondary stuff so I don't depend on iPhoto to be able to find stuff or when moving from one system (new computer, new hard drive, new operating system, etc.) to another.
Terence Devlin wrote:
Remember that it you edit the pics via iPhoto (either with iPhoto itself or with another editor) it will store the edited version within the Library Package. And if you edit the pics via any other method the edits will not be available in iPhoto.
Yep, that I am aware of. My personal preference is to NEVER alter the original files from my cameras at all. Always work on copies. So I do find iPhoto fun to make quick edits to photos I add to it like cropping knowing that I am not actually altering the original in any way.
Likewise, if I do any editing outside of iPhoto it will again be on a copy for a specific reason, so I won't need those edits to be back flushed into iPhoto. If I do I will just add the new edited version back to iPhoto.
Of course shouldn't we really be more concerned with the secret government agencies tracking our photos via the face identification feature of iPhoto? {reference to another user's post in a different thread Terence and I both commented on}
Cheers,
Patrick

Two questions - album art and shuffling

Ok...I have two questions, but didn't really want to make two posts...
The first has to do with album art... All of my album art is in itunes and has been loaded onto my ipod (16gb, 4th gen)...I know it's there because I went song by song and did it and checked it. But my ipod chooses when it feels like displaying it...sometimes it displays it, sometimes I get the music note. If it's not there and I turn it off and on again, it will reappear...it does it on random songs when it feels like it. I tried resetting the ipod and that didn't help and it has resyncing multiple times. It's just hit or miss if the ipod feels like showing it.
My second question has to do with the shuffle feature. I always shuffle my songs, but it seems like it's only shuffling the same songs...mainly those that I first synced. Every now and then it will throw in a new song, but it seems like it's shuffling the same songs constantly....and they don't have more plays than others because I've flipped through them. It's really annoying because it seems like it's always the same songs...
Has anyone run into this also or have any ideas? I figured I'd through this out there before I exchange it out for a new one... both problems are just annoyances that are driving me nuts...especially the shuffle thing...I'm tired of the same songs!! Thanks guys!

1) Have you checked that the album art is actually on each file? Right-click on the song and select, "Get Info" and then the "Illustration" tab. Now, press the "Next" button and make sure that all the songs that you think have got the album artwork actually have them.
People often have problems like this with album artwork, or that two versions of the same album appear on the iPod etc. These problems are related to iTunes and how the music has been setup - and not usually the fault of the iPod.
2) The shuffle feature. I don't know what anyone else has to say about this but I find it REALLY bad on ALL iPod products. This is why: it starts to re-shuffle the music before it has played all of them at least once. I find this rather illogical and haven't experienced this with any other brand but I guess Apple programmed it like that for a reason. I thought they could have at least improved it somewhat on the Shuffle 2G as that is its main selling point. As a result, I get some songs that play 10 times and others that never play at all.
Hope this helps.

TWO QUESTION,PLEASE HELP!!!,THANKS

I had set up the stream replication environments,
which are from OLTP A to Warehouse C and from OLTP B to Warehouse C respectively,
A--->C
B--->C
and I build two APPLY PROCESSES TO apply changes origins from two source A and B,
the operating system is :linux 9 redhat;
oracle db system is :9.2.0.4 with two patchset appled
Now two questions puzzle me, would u mind giving me some advises,thanks in advance!
1) HOW CAN I CONTROL THE SCHEDUAL JOB WITH T+1 MODE
(that is I want apply all the dml changes ,which occur at source db A and B before 24:00:00,after the 24:00:00 changes at A and B will not apply at the C until the next day)
2) HOW CAN I Write THE RMAN DELETING ARCHIVE SCRIPTS TO ALWAYS KEEP ARCHIVES THAT the Minimum Archive Log Necessary To Restart Capture (Note:275323.1)
in the situation 2),sometimes the apply process will fail for some reasons,I want to control RMAN always not to delete the necessary archives that captures needed at restarting period in case of the applys fail.have some tips?

I don't actually understand your first question since in my time-count 24:00 does noet exist and 0:00 is actually allready the next day. But may be you could let the apply process put the changes on a queue (dbms_apply_adm.set_enqueue_destination(rule_name => ...., destination_queue_name =>...);). Then you could have one or more pl/sql jobs to dequeue the changes based on the enqueue-time and have them apply the changes.
As far as I've understood RMAN won't/cannot delete archived logs that are still needed by capture process. So I don't see a problem there. But let the other streams guru's correct me if I'm wrong.

Martien

There actually is a type of "pointer" native to iOS. it's part of the AssistiveTouch feature, used to replicate multitouch gestures with one finger. You just can't control it with a mouse.
Anyway, as far as I can discern the iPad does not use nanotechnology in any part of its construction.

HT1386 Two questions Itunes Movies and Syncing

I have two questions. I had been using a different computer and had several movies saved from those ones you get free with purchasing a DVD/Blue Ray. When I try to look at these movies it tells me it will cost me money to download again? Doesn't Itunes remember the movies I already downloaded to my account???
Second when I try and sync my phone to the computer this being the new computer I look at the aps to sync them and the photo has a different looking setup and all my aps are not in the same location as the ones on my actual phone. I have the 4s phone and carefully tried to place each AP in the correct place on the computer but then the next time I connected and looked to snyc with new items I downloaded to my phone it uplads the new aps fine but the same messed up screen shows up. It tells me I can lose aps on my phone ( i know they are saved on the computer) when I sync but what the ****! This NEVER used to be a problem on my old computer I even set it up so I am not connected with any other computers just this one.

Yes, although it's almost certainly not case-sensitive.
I read somewhere that Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (not case sensitive) is best for TM.
Usually. Case-sensitive is TM's default, though.
Does it really matter?
It may.
I'm only going to be using this one disk to back up my one drive.
Review the pink box in #5 again.
If your internal HD is case-sensitive, your backups must be the same. There's no choice.
If it's not, and you don't anticipate using any case-sensitive volumes (a few 3rd-party apps require it), then you're probably better off with case-ignorant: +Mac OS Extended (Journaled).+

Publishing to the Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server - two questions:

I publish Captivate output to the Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server. I have two questions:
How do I publish content so that users open up the output in full screen mode?
How do I publish content so that users open up the output in their flash players instead of their browsers?
As is well know, varying browser toolbar setups can make or break if your content fits on to the screen.
Thanks!

Hi there
I'm unsure if you are asking about this as it relates to Connect Pro server or not?
If you are asking if there is a way to open a Captivate presentation in Full Screen from Connect Pro, I do note that during Publishing, in the dialog the option for full screen mode is disabled. (which is odd because the first time I checked, the option was actually enabled!)
Again, speaking in terms of deploying the content via Connect Pro server, I am unaware of a way to coax Connect Pro into presenting as a SWF only. At least, not if you are publishing to it from Captivate. I did test by publishing a SWF from Captivate to a local folder on my hard drive. Then from inside Connect, electing to upload only the SWF. That seems to work. But again, you really don't have any control over the size of the window that opens. At least as far as I can tell. (I'm somewhat of a Connect novice)
Perhaps you might locate the forums for discussing Connect and ask the questions there?
Cheers... Rick

Two questions about my "new" used Macbook

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Macbook for my wife from craigslist. It is a early 2008 model (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook-core-2-duo-2.2-white -13-late-2007-santa-rosa-specs.html). I have two questions regarding its use.
1. I know a video adapter is available for these computers. Is there a cable that can connect the video out on the macbook to a TV that has only a RCA input?
2. I noticed (a little late) that the mouse button on the trackpad is a little chintzy. It takes quite a bit of effort to press the button and it appears to stick a little. I currently have the trackpad configured to accept clicks, however I would like to fix the button if possible. Has anyone had any success with changing the mouse button?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I went to the apple store and picked up the cable yesterday. It works perfectly. I cleaned the area around the trackpad button a little and it seems to have eased a little. I will try putting the piece of paper in there and see if it gets better.
I have a follow up question regarding the video out to a CRT TV. Does anyone know what resolution works best for this kind of low-tech TV? I tried 800X600 and 1024X768 last night and neither one seemed TV-like. Should I try a lower resolution? I am trying to stream hulu from my computer directly into my TV.
Thanks.
