What is the easiest way to freeze-frame a movie file and run it as a still?

I have a 'chase' sequence of images of elements in the Periodic Table and it slows down and stops on an element. This is in a movie file. After it has stopped I want to hold that single frame for another 10 seconds or s. Rather than make a still is there an expression or shortcut to doing this inside AE? preper to do on the same layer as I have about thirty of these movie layers so don't want to dupliacte if there is a trick to it. But if I have to duplicate how do I assign a locked timecode to replace the running timecode for the layer? I bet its just putting a literal into some propoerty but i dont know which property.

For freezing a frame for the entire duration, there's Layer > Time > Freeze Frame
Details are in this section of After Effects Help.

What is the easiest way to read fixed width ascii files?

There does not seem to be an easy way to read fixed with ascii files in labview. CSV files and other delimited files are easy, but I cannot think of a simple way to read data from a fixed width ascii file.

Reading a file does not depend on its contents. Unless the file is gigantic, you can just read it as one big string and parse it later, especiall if you want the entire contents of the file.
If you only need a subset, you can calculate the offsets and sizes as multiples of your record size. That's the beauty of fixed size records.
It is typically not efficient to read a file in a loop, small portions at a time, so I would not recommend that except in some very specific situations.
Could you be a bit more specific on what exactly you need to do? Is your problem with reading or with parsing the fixed sized records? Could you attach a sample file and some description on what you need to read from it.

What is the best way to differentiate a flatten pdf file and a mult-layers (live) file

Hi All,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.3.
I have over 10,000 pdf files saved in the same directory. Some of them have been flatten while some of them are still live.
All the files need to be flatten and I need to identify all the live files.
Is there any way I can identify them without going through one by one?
Is there any program I can use?
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks,
Chris Wong

You can use JavaScript to tell if there are any layers in a document. You could use it in a batch sequence that checks all of the files in a directory and print the filename to the JavaScript console for each file that has layers.
For more information, see:

You can also use JavaScript to run a Preflight profile that yo've set up to flatten layers. For more information, see:

What is the easiest way to download a document from SAP DMS with C#?

Hi,
I've been sifting through this forum and looked at various posts and sample code, but so far my quest hasn't been fruitful.
What is the easiest way to download a physical document file from SAP DMS using C#? I'm using the NCo 3 (SAP .NET
Connector 3).
Requirements
- As few dependencies as possible (not adding or changing functionality in SAP)
- C# code (MS Visual Studio 2012)
- SAP Environment: NetWeaver 7.4.0
Thanks for all help.
Regards,
Frank

We've been using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUT2, but there seems to be a limitation. From what I've found on Google, you must enable the use of the SAPGUI through the flag UseSAPGUI when connecting to SAP. It works, but my issue is that when I use it on a web server, I end up with some error when trying to start the GUI. There is very little recent information for this out there right now.

What's the easiest way to cut out about 20 seconds (in the middle) of a minute+ vid that i made on and downloaded from my iPhone 6

Hi - I'm a vid beginner, actually have a training session tomorrow at an App Store, but for now...what's the easiest way to cut out about 20 seconds (in the middle) of a minute plus vid that i made on and downloaded from my iPhone 6? I I'mported the clip to iPhoto on my new Macbook pro. The TRIM function in iPhoto seems only to want to let me cut from either end. I guess if I do cut out a section in the middle, maybe 'glueing' the sections back together is too much for iPhoto to handle (?). I spent about 10 minutes just trying to (unsuccessfully) import to iMovie, so that aint working either. Quicktime maybe? Thx for reading

Hey jabXhook,
Thanks for the question. You may have already received your answer from the Apple Store yesterday, but iMovie is definitely the way to go if you want to trim or split clips. Check out the following resource:
Trim, split, and move clips - iMovie Help
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.6/#/movf8b8fc9b2
Trim unwanted frames from a clip
1. In the timeline, select the range of frames you want to keep in the clip.
2. Control-click the clip, and choose Trim Selection from the shortcut menu.
The clip is trimmed to the boundaries of the selection.
Thanks,
Matt M.

What's the easiest way to make a password system? 10 Duke Points!

Hello everyone,
What's the easiest way to make a password system in java?
I'd like to be able to:
1) store passwords for about 6 people.
2) have the people only interact with my program using my Eclipse console with no GUIs, pop-ups or Swing code.
3) let the people have the ability to create/delete their own passwords and logins. (ideally)
Having searched around the Internet, it seems that the options are to:
A) have code that allows users create files, write to files, read from files.
B) have code that serializes objects - this seems pretty difficult.
C) have code that has a hash table of some kind - although I don't really know hash tables very well and am not sure if they can store data over time unless the program is always running (which is an option).
D) use some sort of javadoc like PassWordCallback - this one looks the easiest as the code already seems to be there but I'm not really sure how to include this type of stuff in my code.
E) have code that allows users to input their password, which I've given them on a piece of paper, and then allow the code to match it to a file - this wouldn't let the users create their own passwords though.
Anyway, hope you can help!
I have a 'Head First Java' book and a 'Java for Dummies' book if you know of anything directly useful in these books.

Using GUIs and Swing is really easy, I have only been using Java for a week now and I have already made a simple application with events. First of all Swing is a package and you need to import it (as described in the documentation).
When you click on the Swing package in the documentation to the second frame you'll see JFrame when you scroll down. JFrame's are the main windows on your screen. JFrame is a class therefore it needs to be instantiated (making an instance of that class so we can use it). After all, everything is based around classes.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Title here");
Note: The "JFrame" before the frame vaiable name is the "data type" of the variable, really we're making an object type (I think its called) just like we'd do String frame if we wanted to make a frame variable that is of type String.
As explained in the [JFrame section of the documentation|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFrame.html] in the "Constructor Summary" section is the different types of Construtors that are made available to us when we instantiate the JFrame class. One of the construtors available are:
JFrame(String title)
... which is exactly what I did above in the brackets/parentheses (its telling us we can add a String title).
Remember constructors do not have any return type or anything and is not a method, because it is the same name as the class and when we instantiate we call the constructor. And so the JFrame class has many constructors, one is for making a title for our JFrame and another is just instantiating without a title. If there wasn't the JFrame(String title) and just JFrame() constructor, we wouldn't be able to add a title as we made an instance of JFrame.
So once we've made an instance of JFrame we have all the methods available (and all of the methods are shown in the API documentation).
Hope you understand now :).Wow. Thanks a lot bastones_. I think Swing is just a bit beyond me at the moment and will require quite a bit of time for me to master. Is there not an easier way of making a password system? I think that A (see above) seems the easiest for me at the moment and D (see above) would be nice if I could just figure out how to use the javadoc.

What is the easiest way to wrap photos with text in ps CS4?

What is the easiest way to wrap photos with text in ps CS4?

InDesign handles text much better that either Illustrator or Photoshop.
In InDesign there is more than one way to put a frame around a paragraph:
Select the text frame, go to Object menu - Text Frame Options and set the Inset Spacing to keep the text away from the frame edge.
Then select the text frame with the selection tool (black arrow) check the Fill/Stroke icon at the bottom or the tool box and make sure the Stroke is selected, and choose a Stroke width from the tool bar at the top of the screen.
Or you can do it a quick and dirty way by just drawing another frame and place it on top of the text frame. Give this frame a Stroke and make sure the Fill is set to None.
I selected both frames in this example simply to show that they are two separate frames. The first method (above) only produces one frame.
Your original question was regarding text wrap, the third example shows text wrapping around the photo.
Place or type your text. Place your image and go to the Window menu - Text Wrap. You can set the Offset margins individually to keep the text away from the edge of the image.
For things like this InDesign is definitely the best way to go.

What is the easiest way to transfer photos to a SD card

I have one of those electronic picture frames that use a sd card. What is the easiest way to transfer an album to the SD card? How do I know when the album is too large for the SD card? Last time it tried this it took forever. I was told after about several minutes that the card was full. thanks for the help.

Select the photos you want and export them them to a desktop folder setting the ,aximum dimension the size the frame wants - then drag that folder to the SD card - you can check the size of the folder prior to copyings it to be sure it will fit

What's the easiest way to do this?

hey, my music videos are included in the lists of songs, which usually cause my iPod to freeze. what's the easiest way to get them out of my songs lists so that they only show up when i go to Videos. should I just change the names of the music video artists so they don't get mixed in with songs, or is there an easier way to do this that i am missing?

why restore it? does this not happen to everyone? i thought it was just my fault for giving the same artist names for songs and videos...

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
What is the best practise for that?
Thanks in advance

Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
Thanks

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?
