Very Technical Keynote Question - Calling all experts/pros

Hello All,
I am in the process of building a keynote for a rather large event that will be displayed on one of the largest Hi-Def Screens in the US. We will be having a very large background that will be animated, and coming from a source other than keynote but the material that will be placed over the background we are using Keynote, mainly because it is cheap, effective, and great for what we need to display.
Here is my question. Is there anyway to present the Keynote with a transparent background i.e. so you can view the large (non-keynote) background that will be behind keynote box.
In other words think of a large rectangular screen with a large animated background, over a smaller section of the screen there will be the keynote running in a square over the background. Is it possible to produce the keynote without a white background, and more to the point, a transparent background so that when it is running, you can see the non-keynote background behind the keynote aspect.
Hope that wasn't too confusing.
Many thanks,
Seth

As Brain has said, set bkgd colour and key it out (either in software or hardware) is one way to go.
Presumably you are running KN live rather than outputting a .mov. Not sure if keynote .mov exports can generate alpha but certainly keynote objects (.mov, .tiff & .qtz) can have alpha. If generating a movie you could add the alpha in another app.
I'd be doing this in Quartz because it's cheap (free with MacOSX Leopard in Developer Tools), reliable and powerful. Live vision mixing can be done inside Quartz. Other powerful shareware vision/vj tools out there if you search.

  • Question for ALL Bootcamp Pros....

    Ok so i am currently on a PC (and have officially decided that I hate PCs) and I want to switch over to the New Macbook Pro-15". See I have a rather advanced question about the Bootcamp program (cause i understand it's basic premiss). I was wondering, is it possible to use a Thumb Drive (like a 60GB USB Drive... and yes I do have one) as my hard drive partition instead of actually partitioning my hard drive on my new Mac. The reason why I am asking this is because I use up a lot of hard drive space (quickly) and I don't want to have to worry about using up my New Mac's hard drive.
    So yes, my question is: Can I set up Bootcamp to use a 60GB USB Drive as my hard drive partition for Windows XP on my Mac? In addition, if I were to do this would anyone know how I would go about doing it?
    Thanks for the help!

    Why do you need Bootcamp at all. I'm not a gamer, and if I were, I'd find Mac versions, or a new game
    Parallels 4 will let you boot XP from any drive you choose to move the Virtual Drive folder to. You can even store multiple copies of XP or run XP and Vista at the same time, with MacOS. Get plenty of ram for this...
    Backing up Windows becomes so simple. Zip the folder and copy the file to a backup drive. Hose up your XP? Just delete the folder and move an uncompressed copy back to the right location. XP just runs again. No mixed partition drive, and the problems people have when they screw up removing the Windows partition.
    Exclude the XP folder from Time Machine, and when working with XP save documents to the 'Shared' folder that Parallels creates (that isn't excluded from Time Machine) for hourly backups of your files.
    If you trash XP on a Bootcamp partition, you are stuck with the same format and reinstallation of everything that you are trying to leave.

  • Calling all mac pro quad core users

    Ive been talking to vetran poster tbirdparis about a problem ive been having that might be isolated to just this model of mac, so my question is...
    Is anyone else having issues with their cpu meter running Logic 7.2.x with virtual instruments ?
    My problem is this, i can run 40 instances of NI massive on cubase sx 4 macintel version without any issues, however on logic 7.2.3 i can only run 20 instances before cpu meter one goes into meltdown, the crazy thing is the other 3 cpu meters appear not to be useable, as the 1st cpu meter maxes out and does not overspill to the other 3 processors, so in essence my macpro quad core acts as if its working as a single core single processor mac.
    This isnt just with Ni plugins either this is with the native logic instruments too.
    Anyone else having these issues ?
    I'm stumped !

    Found this via Wikipedia (not the most reliable source, would rather get the opinion of someone on here with first hand experience)...
    "The application also features distributed processing abilities, which can function across an Ethernet LAN. One machine runs the Logic Pro app, while the other machines on the network run the Logic node app. Logic will then offload the effects and synth processing to the other machines on the network. If the network is fast enough (i.e. gigabit Ethernet) this can work in near-real time, depending on buffer settings and CPU loads. This allows users to combine the power of several Macintosh computers for significantly enhanced processing power. However, the Logic Node application can offload processing only for Logic Pro's built-in software instruments and plug-ins, but not including Logic Pro's EXS sampler virtual instrument which is excluded from Logic Node applications capabilities. Third-party plug-ins are also not supported for Logic Node application processing."

  • Calling ALL Experts...SSIS Package keep failing in Debug Mode..SQL 2005

    Hello everyone,
    I just want to thank you in advance for all the help that you can give today. 
    I just started at a new Company, as a junior DBA, the previous person left. Before that person left he created a lot of SSIS packages and
    turn them into jobs basically to refresh many different tables on the SQL server. The datas are being import from another datasource, which is why the SSIS packages was created so we can bring the datas over to SQL side.  Whenever I want to create a new
    SSIS Package for a new job, I always get the same failure as below...

  • CALLING ALL EXPERTS - Connected TWO Actiontec Routers to use one as main and second as GUEST

    Hello Experts-
      I have TWO Actiontec Routers from Fios. I bought the new N one, and I have an old Actiotec that I was previously not using.  So here is what I am trying to do...
    I'd like to leave Router 1 (the New N router) as my primary router (comes from ONT via cat5 wire NOT Coax) and Set-up the second router off the first to be a guest router.  So essentially make it a bridge.
    I can't seem to configure it to work correctly.  
    Can anyone out there give me a step-by-step walkthru on how to configure this second router so I can have them both hooked up, seperate SSID, with one as the Main and the other being the Guest?
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
    Rob
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm basically wondering how to change the routers IP address and where the Disable DHCP is within the menus.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!
    Rob
    To change the IP address of the Local Area network choose:
    My Network
    Network Connections
    Click edit on the row for "Network (Home/)office"
    On the next screen click Settings
    On the next screen you can change the LAN (192.168.1.1) address to something different.
    On the same screen you can disable DHCP too.
    I hope this helps.

  • Printing Original DocTotal on Check Stubs - Calling all PLD pros!

    We have at least 2 clients that want to print the Original Document Total on their check stubs.  For example, they want it to print:
    Original Invoice Amt, Open Total, Discount, Payment. 
    That way, when you have a $1000 invoice but previously paid $400, that it would read orig: $1000, Balance due: $600,  Discount: $0, Payment $600u2026but with Credit memos, it breaks.  If youu2019ve put Credit Memo 603 on that check, it actually pulls the original total from INVOICE 603 (the wrong answer).  Support told me that thereu2019s nothing wrong with that and itu2019s a system definition!  The problem is that you need to add AP Invoice into the PLD report but is joining on OPCH only on DocEntry u2013 not DocEntry and ObjType.  So thereu2019s many ways to fix this u2013 change the join, union OPCH and ORPC and get Credit Memo data on there or hide the Original Total if itu2019s not an invoice.  But I have no idea how to do any of these.

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • I have Safari 5.1.10 and want to get the newer version.  This may be a dumb question, but do I have to pay to get an upgrade, or is this just a software update.  I am not very technical.  Please advise!

    I have a Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, and I am using safari 5.1.10.  I think I need to get a newer version of Safari if this is possible.
    How do I go about doing this?  Do I have to purchase a different "safari" product? 
    I'm obviously not very technical, and don't know how to proceed!  The reason I want to change this is because
    I keep getting messages saying that my web brower (isn't that what safari is?) is out of date.  Please advise!

    For you it requires an upgrade of OS X. Since you have 10.6.8 installed you can upgrade directly to Yosemite for free provided your hardware meets the requirements:
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • Very simple question: Call JavaBean method on page load?

    Someone clicks on a URL that contains parameters like: http://server/page.jsf?param=b
    How do I trigger a JavaBean method to run during page load? I see many JSF examples where JavaBean methods get called during form clicks and that works great but here I want to run code on page load.
    This must be really simple; sorry I'm new to this technology.
    Must I use <% ... %> syntax or can I use actual JSF tags or configuration to accomplish this?
    Thanks very much in advance!

    Putting a lot of logic in getter( ) function is not the best idea considering that getter( ) could be called all over the place. Using constructor for same purpose is also a bad idea especially with request scope beans. This could also happen many times at different stages. You are right, having a page load concept could be useful. Unfortunately JSF framework does not support. You could architect around it in case desperate. Or if using JSF implementation of certain vendors like IBM, you can take advantage of their implementation that was extended to support pageLoad and postBack events (similar to .NET).

  • SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU

    hi,
    I have some questions for all of you.
    1. Oracle uses cgi (even asp!!! I've seen an asp page somewhere on an Oracle's site but this moment I don't remember where perhaps it is asp->cgi). Why ?
    Oracle doesn't support their techologies
    (Pl/SQL, Jsevlets,XML) ?
    2. Oracle says that has just released a
    new product for mobiles called "Portal2Go".
    I tried to install this product on NT with OAS 4.8.1.
    I had many problems during the installation and after many tries finally I did it(thanks God). but the problems continue...
    many Jsp errors (from the "tested" supplied apps). My question is:
    a. This product is in an early stage (many installation errors.. just a baby) and I think is stable for Sun Solaris but not on NT.
    b. You Oracle "experts" (i.e. oracle staff, NOT YOU guys) tell me ONE advantage to use you product (I'm an oracle developer for 6 years now):
    You say that I can PORT my existing app in any device and Web (through XML). This is a joke. Mobiles,PalmPCs,Web etc. have different requirements (content,display etc).The scope is different.. so this is absolutely FALSE (to use a boolean).
    This release is user unfrienlty. Why.. tell me WHY to pay for a product and for extra hardware (read the product technical reqs!!) to do the SAME THINK
    I do NOW with existing sources.
    I've developed an app for my company's employees using existing version of DB (8.0.5),pure pl/sql and a WAP GATEWAY.NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.
    please answer. Any comment welcomed...
    maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm not.
    PS.WHERE THE WAP GATEWAY/SERVER IS. I searced the cd and..nothing :-) ?
    thanks

    Portal-to-Go is a wireless portal server, the first version was released November 1999.
    The problems you describe that mobiles, Palm devices, etc all have different characteristics is one of the key reasons for Portal-to-Go. It allows any service to be displayed on any device by generating content in an appropriate format for specific devices. This way you can take into consideration the size of the screen, the display characteristics, etc.
    It is 'stable' on Solaris and NT, though it is true that the installation procedure of the CD is for Solaris only. The product is not currently available on OTN, so the installer restrictions should have been explained to you when you obtained the CD.
    Why Portal-to-Go? Here's three reasons:
    1. Inherent problems of the User Interface for a wireless device, so we provide a way personalise the UI to improve navigation and allow commonly used parameters to be saved as stored preferences through the portal.
    2. Differences in the characteristics between wireless devices make it hard to support all type without re-creating content and applications for each specific case. With Portal-to-Go, the same service can be accessed from any device.
    3. Lack of content available for WAP and other wireless devices. We have tools to quickly create wireless services from existing Web sites as well as an application platform for creating new Java or database applications for wireless devices.
    You are correct that the product does not have a WAP gateway.
    I'm not sure where you are located, but feel free to contact me offline. I can answer any specific questions, or get you contact with a local Oracle representative.
    At the moment, if anyone wants to obtain a copy of Portal-to-Go, you should contact your local Oracle representatives.

  • Is there any way to contact verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?

    Is there any way to contact Verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?  I prefer e-mail so as to provide details (like I am trying to provide here).  I have tried in-store personnel (no help at all) and the web chat - they just want to see me more data instead of helping me with my basic problem!
    I CAN NOT GET ANYONE FROM VERIZON TO GIVE ME ANY HELP NOR CAN I FIND A WAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT.  AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT TO DROP MY VERIZON ACCOUNT BUT I'M SURE THAT IT WILL COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE TO GET OUT OF IT.
    Here is my issue:
    Chat transcript removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
    BELOW IS A SCREEN COPY FROM REDDIT ABOUT SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A VERIZON CELL PHONE
    So last night my RAZR MAXX HD did something totally bewildering by spontaneously downloading 2.6 GB of data over the course of ~ 3 hours. Fortunately I was able to catch this problem before it ended up being really expensive, but I still exceeded my 2 GB data plan by 600MB.
    The Culprits:
    Reddit News Free: 160 MB foreground / 0.96 GB background
    Android OS: 0 MB foreground / 1.18 GB background
    Several unnamed applications: ~ 350 MB
    Screenshots:
    The massive data spike
    Android OS data usage
    Reddit News Free data usage
    Weird unnamed processes
    Detailed timeline:
    5:12 PM: Incident begins according to VZW data usage website (2.60410 GB used). This is around the last time that I used my phone at the laundromat before getting dinner and watching Game of Thrones.
    8:04 PM: 50% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    8:31 PM: 75% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    8:58 PM: 90% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    9:13 PM: 100% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    10:05 PM: Got the text messages and immediately put the phone into airplane mode
    10:30 PM: Took screenshots
    10:45 PM: Enabled wifi, installed Kaspersky premium. Scan returned no threats.
    11:00 PM: Left phone in airplane mode, went to sleep.
    The questions:
    What was the root cause of this issue? Did Reddit News freak out as a result of an esoteric bug or was my phone hacked?
    If this was a simple Reddit News bug, then why was the Android OS also trying to use such a massive amount of background data?
    What the hell are these unnamed numeric applications? I've inspected my process history and this is the first time they have ever attempted to use data.
    I'm pretty sure that I can explain this situation to Verizon and get out of having to pay additional data usage fees, but I would like to know more about the problem before I get in touch with them.

    All I can think is your phone may have background downloaded an OTA update, and you'd then be prompted with something like, "As update to your Android system has been downloaded, would you like to install it now?"
    I do find it very odd that the update would be 2.6GB. As a rough base, the CyanogenMod 10.1 firmware for your device is well under 200MB, so unless Verizon has a ****-ton of bloatware in the update, or it had to attempt to download multiple times for some reason, it may be a stretch.
    But doing a little homework, it looks like the Verizon Razr Maxx was updated to 4.1 in late March. Maybe they're still rolling it out in waves? Have you gotten the update yet?
    Edit: Aaaand I just noticed you appear to be running an AOSP-based ROM, which totally rules out a carrier update being sent out.
    Edit2: If you want to live dangerously, you could try running:
    #kill -9 12289
    That 12289 is the PID listed in your screenshot. But don't run that without fulling understanding the kill command.
    The ps command could also be of use, but probably not.

    I can confirm that the phone is currently at 4.1.2 and that I wasn't prompted for an OTA update.The fact that both the Android OS and Reddit News processes were simultaneously using an extremely large amount of data is unlikely to be a coincidence...

    That is very curious that the spikes happened at the same time.I'm curious. It may have put at least some of that 2.6GB somewhere. You could use a data visualizer tool to see if you can find it, which may lead to more clues.

    The largest directories are:
    DCIM: Normal looking photos (90,825 KB)
    Android: Primarily map cache data (64,846 KB)
    If it was downloading content then it did not significantly save content to storage. It's not like I have anything particularly sensitive on the phone, but the idea that it was uploading a snapshot of my data definitely makes me uncomfortable.

    Yup, Digital Camera IMages and videos.Somewhere in /sdcard/Android would be my guess as to where a mysterious file would be downloaded, but if it's only 64MB, and mostly map data, I'd safely rule it out.I'm sorry, but I'm stumped here.Edit: I should mention I don't think this is malware, because unless a malicious app gained superuser access, any data it used would show under it's own apk in the data usage list, not Android OS.

    Although I'm not really up to speed with the Android platform, I come from a UNIX background so I feel comfortable running commands. How do I pull up a bash terminal? Do I need to root the phone first?

    [–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
    There's a number of terminal emulators in the Play Store that work well. You don't need a rooted phone to get to the shell as your user, but any privileged command won't execute unless you can grant it permission from the Superuser app that is installed when you root the device. So you could probably do a ps -e, but not a kill -9.

    Got it. I downloaded a terminal emulator but unfortunately those processes no longer exist.Does Android keep a generic log of system level events like /var/log/syslog?

    I don't think so, and I know you'd need superuser permission to read most of the files in /var/log anyway. I'm not super familiar with how Android does its logging, but I do know that the two files of interest are the logcat and dmesg.

    Want to mention here that using your settings to set your data cap (set it on your billing day), then you won't go over again.Those text messages are really unhelpful, as they send out well after the data has been used. Chances are good you hit close to the 2GB mark before you received the bulk of the messages.

    That's definitely not the case here; both my PC and and Android phone are free from pirated apps.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • To Apple: Why is it called Final Cut Pro?

    My question is to Apple:
    So why is it called Final Cut Pro?
    You can't call it Final Cut Pro if it's a whole new program. (or if it's an upgrade to IMovie)
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15458061#15458061
    I am soooooo disappointed in this!!!  I have been editing on Final Cut since version 1. I can't even figure out how to put on a fade to black without shifting the whole timeline. @#$%R@Q$E%QQ@!!!!!!!
    Are you really going to make all of us start over from scratch and learn the edit software again? 1/2 the stuff I've learned, keystrokes, favorite effects, screan layouts, 3 party filters etc...over the last 10 years is out the window. It's going to take me months to figure the ins and outs of this new program. How am I supposed to bill my clients for hours when I'm working at 1/10 the speed?  And when am I supposed to take 2 months to learn a whole new program?
    If anybody from Apple is reading this>>>> PLEASE give us back control and stop trying to do everything for us.  We have our own ways of working and our own workflows, folder structures, organization and views.
    Everytime I want to do something on the timeline, FCP X thinks it knows what I want and tries to override what I'm trying to do. Maybe for someone from IMovie this is fine. I know what I want and don't need my software trying to second guess me all time. That's our job as editors.
    (Now some smart a## is going tell me>>> "Just to keep editing on FCP7".... Well that's great, till they stop supporting FCP7 in 9 months, then what do we do?)
    If it's not broke, don't fix it!!!!  And for sure don't abandon it!
