Unable to set custom speed to motion path on Camera

This is a followup question to "Controlling speed along motion paths"
(Many thanks to Mark Spencer and specialcase for the their excellent insights getting me this far =)
After experimenting with motion paths and realizing they were indeed what I was looking for, I set up my project so that the camera would follow specific paths along 2d images. Everything worked perfectly until I tried to modify the speed along which the camera travels along those paths.
In the motion path, in the speed drop down menu, I can select Constant, Ease in etc.... all the way to Custom, but they work slightly differently than I expected: while before (ie. applying motion curves to objects as opposed to the camera) I was able to getting a diagonal line in the Keyframe Editor where I could modify keyframes using bezier curves to adjust the speed, now, choosing the various speed options appears to change the "Transform.Position.X" and "Transform.Position.Y" curves directly.
When I select "Custom", "Motion path" and Custom Speed" appear in the keyframe menu above the Camera drop down, but its curve appears only as a dotted, completely horizontal line in the graphing window. The "Transform.Position.X" and "Transform.Position.Y" curves also revert to horizontal dotted lines. If I try to add curves to the custom speed line, the X and Y curves remain horizontal and the camera does not move.
Is there some reason I cannot get custom speeds for cameras without losing my motion path data?
Is there some way to work around this?
Thanks again for all of your help,
Tim

I'm not sure if there is some setting I have wrong:
When I try this, while I am able to set keyframes, the motion path data is reset. (ie. the Transform X and Transform Y curves reset to 0).
In the Keyframe Editor, I can make new curves for the X and Y values and for Timing, but the camera does not follow the motion path, it follows the new x and y curves. Trying to get those curves to match the motion path exactly is a large hassle.
This might help:
If I apply the motion path to an shape rather than to the camera, everything works perfectly (the object moves along the motion path, and I am able to set keyframes for the Custom Speed curve with no problems whatsoever). If I then copy the motion path directly from the shape and paste it to the camera layer, the path appears as a red curve (as it should), but the camera does not move.
Is there some way I can upload the motion file so that you can see what exactly is going on?
Thanks again,
Tim

Controlling speed along motion paths

I have created a motion document in which still images are given keyframed motion paths (in 2 dimensions). I would like to vary the speed at which the images move along their paths in between those keyframes.
I tried to apply variable speed time remapping using bezier curves (with the same keyframe locations as those on the x and y motion curves), but it seems to have no effect whatsoever.
If I first render the animation and, in a new file, apply time remapping, variable time remapping works perfectly, but I am trying to do this before rendering.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tim

Howdy,
This is where the Motion Path behavior really shines over traditional keyframing of position. If you use Motion Path to animate your object, you can set the behavior's Speed to 'Custom', which lets you set a single progress keyframe. This makes it ridiculously easy to control the speed, as well as do reversals, etc. You'll have a single velocity curve to animate in the Keyframe Editor.
Motion Path is one of Motion's biggest unsung heroes for animators.

Unable to set the speed on dot11Radio Interface

Hello Experts,
I have number of 1130ag access points in our network. The problem i am facing is that when I tried to set the speed on the dot11Radio 0 and 1 interface it doesn't appear
This is the command I am using:

B200M3 and Vsphere 5.1 - Unable to set NIC speed to 10gb full duplex

Hi,
My first post here!
I got 4 B200M3 blades with VIC 1240 and 1280. I have installed vSphere 5.1 on them. The blades are configed with a number of NIC's.
The NIC's get a speed of 20gb full duplex(set on auto negotiation) and i would like to set them to 10gb full duplex. When i try to change it in vSphere i get an error message
"Call "HostNetworkSystem.UpdatePhysicalNicLinkSpeed" for object "networkSystem-1264" on vCenter Server "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" failed.
Operation failed, diagnostics report: Forcing 1000Mbps or faster may not be supported on this network device, please use auto-negotiation instead"
After some searching it looks like you sometimes have to upgrade vSphere with new drivers to get these things to work?
Anyone got any ideas that can help me?
// Fredrik

Hi Fredrik,
A few quick questions:
1) What is the driver type and the version on the vnics? here is the HCL for the required driver versions:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/interoperability/matrix/r_hcl_B_rel2.04.pdf
2) Did you install 5.1 direct or did you upgrade from 5.0? For this blade you need to use the CISCO OEM Custom ESXi image. We still do not have the 5.1 image published, however the 5.0 and 5.0 U1 are avaiable for use. Here is the download location:
https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=CISCO-ESXI-5.0.0-U1-28AUG2012&productId=229

Unable to Set Custom Paper size setting of 15 (width) x 12 (Height) using J

Hi,
     I am unable to print the report using the custom paper size setting of 15 (width) x 12 (Height) with printer friendly fonts so that we can print on Line or dot matrix printer.
     This problem is not solved from last 3 months and we dont get help anywhere.
     We are using Java with Crystal Report XI R2 design for the same.
                       ITable table=null;
DatabaseController dbCtrl=null;
ReportClientDocument oReportDoc=null;
try {
String reportName=fileName;
oReportDoc=new ReportClientDocument();
oReportDoc.open(reportName,0);
dbCtrl = oReportDoc.getDatabaseController ();
rs=ad.sqlStringBigST(query);
table = dbCtrl.getDatabase ().getTables ().getTable (0);
dbCtrl.setDataSource (rs, table.getName(), "Runtimeres");
Object oreportSource=oReportDoc.getReportSource();
IReportSource reportSource=(IReportSource)oreportSource;
PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
printOptions.setPrinterName("EPSON FX-2175 ESC/P");
printOptions.setPaperSize(PaperSize.useDefault);
options.setPaperSource(PaperSource.manual);
oReportDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
Please let me know what is the solution for the same.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
    Yes i can understand that you need to first understand the root of the problem to give me the solution.
    I am here to answer to your questions until you understand what is the problem.
    Yes if i set the standard page size which are given in API doc , it sets up the page correctly.
    Following page size as given in the API doc works fine.
    http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxi/en/en/RAS_SDK/rassdk_java_api_doc/doc/rassdk_java_apiRef/com/crystaldecisions/sdk/occa/report/document/PaperSize.html
   It is rejecting the custom paper size and custom fonts (which in my case are printer friendly fonts).

Unable to set custom keybindings in gnome

I'm using forced fallback mode so I can disable gnome-panel and use AWN instead. And that's working great, except that when I'm in fallback mode my custom keybindings are completely ignored, but the defaults work. I've tried setting them in 'system settings'>'keyboard', ccsm, and org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings with dconf-editor.
Where normally (when using gnome-shell) there's a 'windows' section in 'system settings'>'keyboard', that section is not visible for me. When I change the bindings in ccsm and close it, they're back to default when I check again later. And the settings in dconf-editor persist, but are apparently being ignored in favor of the defualts.
Am I just overlooking a config file somewhere or what?

Thank you for the quick response!
Firefox does seem to have a much more reliable printing engine. Unfortunately, I am using a number of webkit CSS attributes available only within Safari. Gradients being one of these. Perhaps it's time to give up on them and simply render these custom layout elements as images... It's a pity really! Webkit delivers some very promising new technology for cross-media content delivery, yet without reliable print/pdf output control, these technologies and techniques are essentially useless.
I did leave feedback on this issue. Perhaps Apple will come up with a solution before I am forced to rebuild. .I most certainly would appreciate additional ideas and suggestions.
Thanks again

Unable to set custom icon for system drive

Title says it all. Can't paste new custom icon onto drive icon in the Info panel-nothing happens. Any ideas?

When a custom icon is applied to a folder (including the "boot drive" icon, which is really just the top level folder), an invisible "Icon\r" file is created inside that folder (or a ".VolumeIcon.icns" in case of a volume - I missed this in the last post, sorry) and the "Custom Icon" file attribute is set. In order to do these things, a user must have sufficient privileges to modify the folder.
In Leopard, the default permissions are:<pre>
$ lsbom -d /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.Essentials.bom |grep "^. "
. 41775 0/80</pre>
The owner is "root", group is "admin", both have "read & write" privileges, and everyone else has "read only" privileges.
Similarly, in "Tiger":<pre>
$ lsbom -d /Library/Tiger/BaseSystem.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom |grep "^. "
. 41775 0/80</pre>
Nothing has changed. But furthermore, since the "sticky" bit is set, this might even mean that a custom icon set by one "admin" would only be removable by the same "admin" (though this isn't something I have tested). But either way, at a minimum, "admin" privileges would normally be required.
So if you had previously modified the permissions on the boot drive to allow non-admins to make changes, then certainly you woudn't have to have "admin" privileges to do this. But that is not the "normal" state.
Beyond that, it's hard to say why you can't make the changes even as an "admin" without at least knowing what the current permissions are on "/" and "/.VolumeIcon.icns"...

Unable to Set Custom Ringtones on E63

Just got this phone (new) and have been fairly happy. HOWEVER, I have one grief that I have yet to get resolved. Except for one of my contacts, I can not seem to set either mp3's or aac's as a custom ringtone for a contact. Though I have gone through the process multiple times, only my custom default ringtone plays when I receive a call.
I would appreciate any and all help that will assist me in getting this resolved. To say I am slightly frustrated would be an understatement. Thanks ahead of time to all responses.
Happy New Year to all.

Duplicate numbers causes a number of problems, this was just one. It also will not display the caller's name if there is a duplicate. It's not confined to the E63 either.
If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

Unable To Set Custom Print Margins In Safari 5.0.2

Help Please!!
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to change the "default" margins Safari uses when printing. I have selected different print drivers, added custom paper sizes, even changed monitor resolution – all to no avail. I am trying to format some web content for letter size printing and it looks as though I will have to give in to the quarter-inch top, left, right and half-inch bottom margins Safari so persistently imposes.
I am hoping there is at least one other out there who has fretted over this issue as I have. Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Custom speed not working in motion path behaviour of emitter

I am trying ot make a custom speed motion path along an open spline. Any amount of adjusting of keyframes and percentages produce no movement at all along the path. The emitter is stuck at the beginning of the path. All the other speed options work except for custom, in the motion path behaviour. What's going on here?

What's going on is a little complex.
When you first add a Motion Path and select Custom Speed, you get a "default" 0% - 100% over the life of the behavior [basically the same as Constant]. If you try to add keyframes in between, it can mess things up pretty good. The results you get can be unexpected.
If you "clear" the automatic default keyframing, then the Custom speed stays at 0% (there are no keyframes). If you move the playhead and change the Custom parameter, nothing "takes" since no original keyframe is set.
In order to make a Custom Speed on a path, you need to first, clear the default keyframing (on the right edge of the column, click on the disclosure triangle and select Reset Parameter). Then, set the position you want your object to start at and Set a keyframe. Then you can advance the playhead and move the Custom Speed control to position the object on the path.

Using Light as Motion Path for Trapcode Particular

Hi,
I am trying to make an animation for a project, but I cannot figure out some things. I am trying to create the effect that a person is throwing money out the back of a car. I have the live shot of the person in the car, but I cannot get the money to behave how I want it to. I am trying to use the Trapcode Particular, but I can't get the particles to follow any motion path. When I set the settings to motion path, it prompts me to create a light. I create a light, but can't figure out how to make that light have an actual path rather than simply being a spot light. Please help! I'm sorry if I don't make any sense, please ask me to clarify if you need it.
Nicole

Because you are doing it all wrong! If you wanted to use the Motion Path option in the Air physics model, your light would have to be exactly named like that - Motion Path 01. It's not what you want, though. I'm 100% certain of that. You are looking to create a conventional light emitter, which is a whole different thing. For that, your light should be named Emitter (or whatever other prefix you define in the plug-ins Options/ Settings panel). Then you must set the emitter type to Light. If you use spot lights and want your money to emit directionally, you need to set the emitter to Directional as well. Apart from that, Particular will use the light's color, cone angle and intensity to colorize and eject the particles. After that, you can animate the light in 3D space to whatever you need it to do.

Motion 5 Crashes when applying motion path

Hello all,
heres my scenario and being new to Motion 5 maybe Im doing something wrong...
I have an image in my project....I bring in another image...I have tried this using one and two groups doesnt matter...
I apply flop to both images to rotate.....then grow shrink....then I set both on a motion path by selecting both and using the bezier tool...hit enter when I am done making the path I hit enter and the path is created....I select path fro the group and goto inspector change path shape to geometry and then apply the bezier path....at this point Motion 5 crashes and I lose all
work...I have saved the file up to this point now...but what am I doing wrong...
Thanks!

Make sure the shape you are using in the behavior is not inside the group you are trying to animate, put it in a seperate group.

How to make several copies of a shape follow a motion path

Hi all! Does anyone have an idea for this:
I have drawn a "highway" using the bezier tool - I want a lot of circleshapes to follow this highway to indicate a current flowing. I have the circle shape and with the motion path behaviour I can make it follow the shape. Now I want a lot of cirlces to do the same so the highway is filled with the circles repeating over and over. I have tried some different setting an emitter with motion path but it doesn't work.
I would think that this illustration is quite common so maybe some of yo could give me a clue on how to do this??
Morten

Hi.
I tried it using the Replicator:
Create the highway.
Create a Circle.
Replicator settings:
Shape> Geometry.
Shape Source>your highway Shape.
Points>27
Offset: assign a Ramp Behaviour. Start Value 0%. End Value: 191%. This moves the circles along the highway.
Tweak to taste.

FCE HD, confused by Motion Path (I want to change the speed of movement)

I am a huge FCE noob, let's get that out of the way. I have also been a member here since May of last year, but for some reason it now shows that this is my first post. (????) Anyway, I have figured out how to use a motion path, including curving the path, but I can't figure out how to alter the speed that a "motion path" video enters, or leaves, the screen.
While I'm here, I also want to learn how to use shapes (as in a circle/triangle/custom shaped border to a video clip) and I have not been able to find that info. I have Lisa Brenneis's "Final Cut Express HD for Mac OS X" book and have not been able to find the answers to these two questions there.
Thanks in advance for your useful help!!

The first and last keframes can have Ease In/Ease Out applied to smooth the start or stop action.
Clicking between two keframes on a a motion path should give you Bezier Handles. There a four blue dots on them, the inner two will control speed. Dragging an inner dot along the handle either slows or speeds the action.

Service Desk Unable to set status to Customer Action and Proposed Solution

Hi Everyone,
We are unable to set a service desk issue to the status Customer Action or Proposed solution.
I have someone create a new issue in the bakend system and when I receive the issue I assign it to myself as the processor. When I try to set teh status to Customer action it is grayed out.
I have checked the following:
1. As a test I assigned My user with sap_all profile so does not appear to be authroisation related
2. The status profile has all six standard values (New, customer action, In Process, Sent to SAP, Proposed Solution, Confirmed).
3. The transaction types have been defined using the standard profiles for Text Det. Procedure, Partnet Determination Procedure, Status Profile. The Partner Function ORG is set to Sold-To-Party , The date profile is a SRV_SLA_ITEM and the Action profile is set to SLFN0001_ADVANCED. The Org Data Prof is set to a customer defined one: ZSSC000000001.
4. I have checked transaction ppoma_crm and the org structure and my user is assigned to a team lead position.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
please check your status profile for the "lowest status no." and "highest status no." values of the status values as Alex mentioned!
You can find this in SPRO under "SAP Solution Manager> Scenario-Specific Settings>Service Desk>Service Desk>Status Profile".
If the "high" value of the status "New" is lower than the status number of status "Customer Action" than you can not set the message from "New" to "Customer Action"!
Hope this helps,
Christoph
