VCS Transform - ([^@]*) No effect?

Hi Folks,
In my CUCM -VCS-C deployment (sip only), I've configured a ([^@]*) replace transform to standardize destination alias to sip uri format, as per configuration guide. But during my testing, I found that even if I disable this transform, when a sip endpoint dials another without entering the domain name, the call would still work. And then in the search history, I can see the destination alias is already e.g. [email protected], and the log reads "Not Transformed". I just couldn't figure out why. Can someone shed some light please? Thank you!
regards
Chenzhe

Thanks Paulo.
when I dial 12345 from an endpoint, isn't 12345 a destination that doesn't have @domain?
From my testing I came across the following:
1. endpoint [email protected] dials 12345 -> the destination becomes [email protected] automatically
2. endpoint [email protected] dials 12345 -> the destination becomes [email protected] automatically
I suppose what I am asking is, does VCS automatically append the domain name based on the domain name in the endpoint's alias?
regards
Chenzhe

The Transform Each Effect: more flexibility is needed please...

Is this really wishful thinking?
Hi,
I was reveiwing recently an episode on AdobeTV with Colin Smith regarding a very neat trick applying a style with Illustrator and repeating business cards on the same page. Very cool idea and way of using that effect indeed. I particularly like the fact that you can store and save that effect as a style so you can use it over and over again.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/no-stupid-questions-with-colin-smith/illustrator-business-cards/
A question came up to my mind about an issue and some possible limitations of this "Effect", since it can only resize objetcs by entering % values but nowhere can one can enter numeric values instead. Of course you can perform that task with the "Transform Pannel" but you cannot do it with the "Transform Each Effect". Let's say that you have many logos on a page that you would like to reduce/enlarge to a certain width or height for each one as 2" width for example, you would have to do the math first to figure our what would be the % and then transfer this result in % to the "Transform Each Effect" so it can do the task.
In such a case, you cannot use the "Transform Panel" to reduce all the logos at the same time to a individual width of 2" because Illustrator then consider the width of all the logos globally or as a "Group" but not each one of them. So you would end up with the wrong result. And, going futher with the math would means further steps and maybe involves then other "Trial an error" tests before acheiving what you are looking for.
For a better understanding, please view the above video where the author explain and debates quite clearly that point::
http://youtu.be/V4-Ee9mJAOA
Like the author says at the end of in his video, you can always make a small "Action Script" but it involves more steps andfurther testings. So more flexibility is needed here from the "Transform Each Effect" and I tend to agree with the gentlemen on that matter. As you may know, many of us who are involved in production the simple task of rearranging/transforming logos is performed many times for certain projects. By adding this feature to the "Transform Each Panel" would be a great help to us all. Also, just imagine if that feature could then be save as a "Style", what a great time saver it would be for all of us!
I know that you can first rezise one object with the "transform Panel" an then use the the "Transform again" command in order to apply it to the others. But you cannot do it to all at the same time because Illustrator apply that transformation then globally. Also, if the some logos are let's say of various sizes it does not work at all.
Is there another way some of you may know how to do it simpler? Is there a special "Plugin" available with Illustrator that you may know who could perform that type of task?
May I finally point out that i'ts not a matter of doing that small task but the pain rather resides in doing it over and over again. So I do beleive that flexibility is needed here for us all...
Thanking you in advance and looking forward to read you,
Robert Marchand
P.S.:
Sorry, but English is a "Work in progress" in my case...

oh yeah. sorry. Two new errors were generated (same
type). ...Yeah, sorry I didn't look closely enough.
May I suggest a different approach? This is far from perfect, but is a big improvement of your current code:public class Inventory
    public static void main( String args[] )
        Iteminfo[] myItems = new Iteminfo[3];
        myItems[0] = new Iteminfo( 01, "Laptop", 15, 2000 );
        myItems[1] = new Iteminfo( 02, "Desktop", 25, 1500 );
        myItems[2] = new Iteminfo( 03, "Server", 10, 5000 );
        System.out.println("Inventory Program Part 2\n\n");
        displayItems(myItems);
        System.out.printf( "The total of all inventory is: $%.2f. \n\n", getInvTotal(myItems));
        System.out.printf( "The sorted inventory list is: ");
        sortItemInfo(myItems);
        displayItems(myItems);
    static void displayItems(Iteminfo[] myItems)
        for(int i = 0; i < myItems.length; i++)
            System.out.printf("Item "+(i+1)+": \n\n");
            myItems.displayInfo();
static double getInvTotal(Iteminfo[] myItems)
double total = 0.0;
// Do the same thing with the for-statement here as
// well, and add everything to the variable total.
return total;
static void sortItemInfo(Iteminfo[] myItems)
// your sort algorithm here
Try to finish it.
Good luck.

Advice on Fixing Clip Distortion Caused by Transform Video Effects

So I make video works specifically using a method of 'quilting' clips together e.g. cropping, then mirroring horizontally and vertically until they make one seamless clip. The problem is that often when I do this after a clip is flipped, usually always vertically a line of what looks like static appears on the bottom or side of the clip and no matter what I do I can't ever get rid of it. What I've done in the past is layered them so the clips that are less altered are on top and thus hide the distortion, or opening the clips up by themselves in MPEG Streamclip and cropping the portion that is distorted but this doesn't always work and can often cut out valuable parts of the subject. Both these also feel like bandaid fixes and I'm hoping someone who knows I'm sure WAY much more than I might have an idea or a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Example of the work below, not the distortion, just so you can visualize what I mean by quilting. Im sure there is probably a real term for it, but it's what made the most sense to me.

Still no ideas?
I imported another clip, rendered in a different after effects project. I also copied it into new sequences with new sequence settings. I'm still getting the same thing! HELP!

Get output of layer after applied effects and transformations?

I know I can get the pixel data of a layer either by calling Sampling8Suite1()->subpixel_sample() or by directly acessing the layer's data field.
Both methods work fine, but give me only the pixels before any effects or transformations (scaling, rotation, etc.) have been applied on a layer.
Example: I add a red solid and on this red solid I add the effect "Fractal Noise".
On another layer I add my plugin which samples the input of the first layer. But it will never give me the fractal noise output, only the red solid pixels.
DId I miss something somewhere or is this not possible within AE?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!

in short, no such functionality is offered.
there are however some exceptions:
1. if you checkout your own layer, even at times other than the current, and you do it using the smartFX checkout_layer() funciton, then you get it post all effects previous to yours in the stack.
2. you can checkout any project item, so if you checkout a comp with only one layer in it, you get that layer post transform and effects.
3. write an artisan (the plug-ins that render comps such as "advanced 3D"). artisans get post effects/transform layers.
sorry.
not much good news.

Vector layer effects not showing up in comp

I'm working on my first After Effects project and would really appreciate any help.
Everything was working fine and now none of the transformations or effects I add to the layers of newly added vector files want to work.
They are visible when I open up the comp for the vector file, but they aren't rendering in the main comp.
Any ideas on what could be wrong? I probably disabled something by accident
Thanks!

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like what version of AE or for that matter what kind of "vector layers", comp details and so on. you are throwing around a lot of vague statements.

Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions.
However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box. If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette. Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box. Then use menu File>Save. Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

Can After Effects read Opentype fonts?

I was given a PSD file that uses a font called Soho Gothic Pro. In Photoshop, the designer toggled on Stylistic Alternatives under the Opentype menu option under Fonts (see picture).
However, I can't seem to find this same option in After Effects. So in AE it appears that the font the designer used isn't available, but in Photoshop it is. Is After Effects unable to read Opentype fonts?
Thanks for your time.

It's very much as Dave said - AE does not support any of the rule-based glyph substitution, the sad excuse behind it being that someone thought we don't need ligatures, table numbers and so on because they "break" with text animator (when half the time people don't even use this, but only basic transforms or effects). *crikey* Well, one can always hope for CS6....

How to Re-size Layers (and Maintain Properties)

Hello all and pardon my lack of knowledge of AferEffects. I have been currently given the task at my job to create a video for a display at a local arena. The height of the arena display is 36px. I purchased a template from Envato which I liked but resizing has been a problem. I created a new composition for the proper specs and copied the layers from the template into my new composition. I then went to size to composition height but noticed that there are layer "points" and i guess "transforms or effects"" that are not scaling with the composition height.
Is there an easy method to rescale the layers and all their properties to meet my composition height?
thanks in advance and I promise I will get more up to speed on using AE but at the moment I will have to get by finishing with google searches and forum assistance.

opps sorry for leaving that out. Ok to explain without getting too crazy here is the dimensions.
Purchased template is 1280x720
Vendor Display is 2760x36 but there are a few things to take into consideration.
there are GIP (game in-progress) sections which overlay my design (included in the vendor AE template).
within the template the layout is (i will break up the sections by brackets):
[912x36] [GIP] [912x36] [1632x36] [GIP] [1632x36]
my idea for each usable section (912x36 & the 1632x36) is to replicate a composition at least 4 times so the [912x36] section will have 4x [228x36].
So my scaling has to be scaled down to 228x36 for me to be able to replicate it 4 times on the [912x36] usable section.
After I can get passed that I will have to create a new composition to follow the same logic for the [1632x36] section. I will most likely do 5 sections of [272x36] to complete that side.
Sorry if this is cluttered or if I went too far into my explanation but ultimately this is what my entire project for this one display is looking like.
Thanks again Dave for responding and I do apologize for any lack on info you would need to better assess this.
thanks

Old chestnut ? IMAGE PAN

Hi all - just joined the forum today and would appreciate some help from teh great the good and the wise who live here.
I've used Premiere 6.0 for some time now and recently downloaded the CS3 trial.
One of the features that I like most in 6 is the video/transform/ImagePan effect. All I have to do is create a series of keyframes. Each keyframe defines a section of the clip using a bounding box. Hey presto! I have a clip with pan and zoom effects. Perhaps not everybody's cup of tea but I like it.
I've tried to replicate this with the Motion effect without success.
Also I've spent most of yesterday and today on the web, including this forum, trying to find out whether there is a CS3 equivalent but no joy so far.
The closest I've come is the StageTools MovPix plug-in.
Do any of you more senior members know whether I can produce the equivalent effect in CS3 as easily as it is in 6.0?
I'll upgrade to CS3 eventually but don't want to lose some of my favorite effects or go through a steep learning curve...I 'aint that bright!

You will also find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

FPGA FFT and filtering

Hi, I have an application in which I need to collect a lot of (50+) narrowband spectral components from an analog input datastream. I am using a PXIe-7965R FlexRIO FPGA board and an NI-5732 digitizer adapter module. There are a couple of ways I could implement this, but I'm not sure which would be more efficient or plausible. The input datastream would be a 1D array of either 16kS or 32kS from the digitizer, and I would need to filter very specific frequency components out and sum them. Here are the options I was considering:
1. Take a Fourier transform of the data set, then generate a binary mask to multiply with the Fourier transformed result, effectively giving only the desired frequency components. The product array could then be summed for the final result. The main problem with this method is that I have not been able to find an FFT IP for LV FPGA that supports 1D input arrays longer than 8 kS. Does one exist? Additionally, there is the question of whether a longer FFT could fit on the FPGA.
2. Create a lot of time domain narrowband filters (Butterworth?) and sum the results of all of the filters. I am not sure if this would be less resources than the FFT or not. It would certainly be more cumbersome, considering I would have to implement 50+ filters on the input sequence.
I'm very new to LV FPGA and FPGAs in general, so I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions anyone may have for my application.
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,
I do not have any experience with FPGA so I am not addressing those aspects of your questions.
Have you verified that your numbers make sense? When I read your question my gut reaction was, "Can this even work?" "Is there enough data in 16 K or 32 K samples to extract that inforamtion?" What is the range of frequencies in the datastream? What is the sample rate? What is the required resolution? Can two or more components ever be closer together than the specified resolution? (Even if you do not care about resolving them in this case, which you cannot, overlapping signals might complicate the analysis). Are the frequencies of the components known? If so, are the frequencies rational fractions of the sample rate? Do any of the components vary in amplitude or frequency during one sample set?
I think that an FFT-based system will be the way to go. Multiple filters with narrow enough bandwidths would be a real mess, hard to get working well, and not versatile.

CS3: Pan/Zoom & Cross-Fade

Hi,
I'm trying to make a "Ken Burns" style effect for a banner,
using several photos. I've got the Pan/Zoom down, by using the
"transform" timeline effect, or by doing a motion tween. My
question is: how can I get a fade transition between one image and
the next
during the pan/zoom effect, for the last couple seconds
only?

Spacing balls on a circle?

Hi
I need to draw a concentric circles with balls (like molecules), evenly
spaced from each other. How would I do that easily and quickly?
Thanx,
Rogier

In Rogier's revised post on the topic (which Ian closed off to replies), he added the following clarification:
"I would like to be able to add more balls, depending on the circle-radius. With every new ball added, the spacing needs to adjust correspondingly."
If all your balls are identical, here is one way:
Draw one ball.
Draw a straight vertical line, the intended radius of your circle.
Snap the top end of the line to the center of the ball. (Easiest to do with Smart Guides turned on.)
Make the straight line have no stroke, no fill. (It will be used for setting the transform origin.)
Group the ball with the straight line.
Making sure that the group is still the Appearance target, go to Effects>Transform&Distort>Transform to apply a live transform effect.
If you want N balls around your circle, set the Copies to N-1, and the rotation angle to 360/N. On the little "tic-tac-toe" grid showing the transform origin, click on the bottom center square. (This is why you grouped the ball with the vertical line, so that you could set the rotation origin to the correct location. The Transform live effect only has these 9 origin choices, so you have to set up your objects so that the origin you want is at one of these 9 positions relative to the bounding box of the object the effect is applied to.)
Turn on Preview to verify that it looks like you want, and if it does, click OK.
Now, if you want to adjust the radius of the circle, direct-select the bottom anchor point of the radius line, and shift-drag it up or down.
If you want to change the number of balls on your circle, double-click on the "Transform" row on the Appearance palette, so that it brings up the effect options dialog again, and change the number of Copies and the Angle.

Synonyms for packaged procedures

Heres something that is currently bothering me.
Why are we not allowed to create synonyms for procedures and functions within packages ?
Our database has too many individual procedures and functions for my liking and I would like to move some of them into packages. Consequently I want to create synonyms to avoid changing application code.
I have found metalink note 1061643.6 which confirms this cannot be done, but it also goes on to say:
"Oracle does this using the STANDARD package with overloaded functions and procedures such as TO_CHAR() and TO_DATE(), but how Oracle does this is proprietary information and is not available to the public."
(Thanks Oracle)

The basic reason for this restriction is that the Oracle synonyms are alternative names only for database objects, not for PL/SQL objects like packaged function and procedures.
But moving stored procedures/functions to packages is a good idea, recommended by all the experts, with many benefits for you in the future.
There is a simple solution for you problem, with very little impact on the continuity or performance of your applications:
1. Copy the code of the DB stored procedures and functions to PL/SQL packages, mirroring them into packages subprograms.
2. Replace the body of the DB procedures and functions with plain calls to their packages equivalents, transforming them effectively into wrappers behaving like synonyms.
3. Change gradually the code of the application to call directly the packages functions and procedures
4. When the change is completed, delete the wrappers.
BTW If Oracle does not support a feature, than you it's better not to use it. Modifying the STANDARD package or using some volatile, undocumented features is not a clever move...

Change colors in the png - keep transparency

I load a png-file as ImageIcon into a JLabel as setIcon(). A color of the png (generally color white) is defined for transparency, that in the JLabel is represented correctly as transparency.
I want to convert now another dark color in ImageIcon like new Color (0,0,0) into a bright-grey-color like new Color (244,244,244), after the transformation transparency effect should kept by color white.
How can that be done, please?

BufferedImage is the easiest interface to the pixels yes. You can always load your images as BufferedImage instances and pass those to your ImageIcon objects; if you ever want the image back you simply cast the return value of ImageIcon.getImage() to BufferedImage.

How to get rid of overhead light glare

I have a picture that I want to get rid of the overhead light glare. I did take two pictures.
thank you
Mike

I think a perspective / distort (p/d) transform will probably work even better. There's still some glare in both shots in the o and r, and the oval edging, but otherwise it looks pretty good. I just copied the top of the o and rotated and p/d transformed it to fit the bottom. Same with the r.
You can see some softness in the stem of the m where my soft brush betrays the inexact lining up of the two images. Any tips on how to use distort transform more effectively would be appreciated. I always find it a bit fiddly.
