What is the proper way to delete video transitions and restore clips?

I guess this is a two parter.. In the case where you overlap two clips and add a cross-fade, etc., and when you butt two clips together and do a 3D-spin, etc. I am talking about when you are long past using Command-Z to backup. I'd like to restore adjacent clips to their original state before overlaping and/or adding transitions.

well, i can think of the best way to restore if you think you're gonna get into a transition heavy sequence.
duplicate your cuts only sequence and add transitions to your duplicate. i often create duplicate sequences and than add a word or two as well as the date as an identifier. when i'm done with the project, i delete the unused sequences or keep them around if i think i may reuse something.
otherwise, what is wrong with just selecting the transition and deleting?

What is the proper way to run a DMM and Scope back and forth continuously?

I am running a list of tests from an Excel file that could be a DMM or Scope test or neither. I am creating a session of each at the beginning, setting up the device before measurement and disabling them after making a reading then set up the device before next reading. I thought this would be quicker than closing and initializing around each test. Is this an efficient way or is there a better way?

Execute tests runs the list of tests. Call Required Test Steps runs through each individual test. Device is called to initialize all devices before Execute tests is called. Then they are not closed until all tests have been ran.
Maybe to clarify my question.
Here is what I do with the DMM and scope
init DMM, init Scope
setup DMM or scope
measure
disable
setup DMM or scope
measure
disable
//(repeat these three steps as many times as needed)
Close DMM and Scope.
I disable so that the DMM isn't still reading Ohms when a voltage is connected, etc
I am just wondering if this is efficient

I have been filling up my internal memory on my laptop after years of video editing. I now want to export all this footage to an external hard drive. What is the proper way to do this.

Are the videos being stored in iMovie or another application? Have you exported/shared the video? If the video is in iMovie what version of iMovie are you using? Give as much info as possible, and you may also want to post the question in the iLife section of this forum since more people with video skills will be reading the iLife/iMovie threads.

What is the proper way to record line numbers in Master/Detail records?

Guys and Gals,
Been thinking about this for awhile, but thought it best to ask the people who really know what they are doing.
What is the proper way to record & show line numbers in a Master / Detail record set?
For example, take Master/Detail relationship Orders and OrderItems. Orders has a column Document_Number and OrderItems has Document_Number, Line_Number. Line_Number should contain the row number 1,2,3,4 ... etc. for each row in a document.
Should I ...
<ol><li>Add a sequence and a trigger in the database? The FusionOrderDemo does this, but then the sequence never "resets" and I've got row numbers that keep incrementing. So one document has rows 4,5,6 and the next document has 7,8,9 when they should both have 1,2,3.</li>
<li>Programmatically take care of the row numbers? This seems like I'm asking for trouble. Anytime an insert or delete operation gets done, I'll have to iterate through rows and re-assign row numbers.</li>
<li>Is there a way to assign row numbers in a table iterator (or data collection?) to an entity?</li></ol>
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It's looking like #2 is my only option, but if anyone knows different I'd love the input.
Will

Thank you both guys.
As John said, I believe I'm looking for a gap-free sequence per master record.
The line number of the OrderItems table is the second half of the primary key. The first half of the primary key (DocumentNumber) is the foreign key to the Orders table.
Think of it like line items on an order or invoice. For example, if you were talking to someone on the phone concerning an invoice, you might say, "The pricing for line item #3 is incorrect." In this case, it's good to have a common reference. Or imagine a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with no row numbers displayed! You'd never get anywhere if you had to explain something over the phone.
If this is tricky to perform, I take it using a sequence and trigger such as the Fusion Order Demo is the best way to approach the challenge for simplicity's sake?

What is the proper way to close all open sessions of a NI PXI-4110 for a given Device alias?

I've found that, when programming the NI PXI-4110 that, if a the VI "niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI" (NI-DCPower pallette) is called with a device
alias that all ready has one or more sessions open (due to an abort or other programming error) a device reference results from the reference out that has a (*) where "*" is post-fixed to the device reference where and is an integer starting that increments with each initialize call. In my clean up, I would like to close all open sessions. For example, let's said the device alias is "NIPower_1" in NI Max, and there are 5 open sessions; NIPower_1, NIPower_1 (1), NIPower_1 (2), NIPower_1 (3), and NIPower_1 (4). A simple initialize or reset (using niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI, or, niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI, etc.) What is the proper way to close all open sessions?
Thanks in advance. Been struggleing with this for days!

When you Initialize a session to a device that already has a session open, NI-DCPower closes the previous session and returns a new one. You can verify this very easily: try to use the first session after the second session was opened.
Unfortunately, there is a small leak and that is what you encountered: the previous session remains registered with LabVIEW, since we unregister inside the Close VI and this was never called. So the name of the session still shows in the control like you noted: NIPower_1, NIPower_1 (1), NIPower_1 (2), NIPower_1 (3), and NIPower_1 (4), etc.
There may be a way to iterate over the registered sessions, but I couldn't find it. However, you can unregister them by calling "IVI Delete Session". Look for it inside "niDCPower Close.vi". If you don't have the list of open sessions, but you have the device name, then you can just append (1), (2) and so forth and call "IVI Delete Session" in a loop. There's no problem calling it on sessions that were never added.
However - I consider all this a hack. What you should do is write code that does not leak sessions. Anything you open, you should close. If you find yourself in a situation where there are a lot of leaked sessions during development, relaunching LabVIEW will clear it out. If relaunching LabVIEW is too much of an annoyance, then write a VI that does what I described above and run it when needed. You can even make it "smarter" by getting the names of all the NI-DCPower devices in your system using the System Configuration or niModInst APIs.
Hope this helps.

What is the proper way to convert a VHD from dynamic to basic without losing data?

Hi,
What is the proper way to convert a VHD from dynamic to basic without losing data?
Our VM is running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Thanks in advanced

Hi efebo,
"After you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk, you cannot change the dynamic volumes back to partitions. Instead, you must delete all dynamic volumes on the disk and then use the
Convert To Basic Disk command. If you want to keep your data, you must first back it up or move it to another volume. "
Please refer to following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731274.aspx
You can try to backup the dynamic volume via Windows Server Backup then restore it to a new basic VHD file ( the space is recommended to be larger than or equal to the old one ) .
Hope it helps

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

What is the proper way to create a monotone image with real looking contrast?

Once I apply a color to my previously created black and white image everything looks washed out.
I have an artwork with 3D representation of the letterforms, casting shadows on the textured surface. Shadows are deep black. I need this artwork to be colored in gold. My client forwarded me the specs for the metallic gold which he got from the PANTONE. They are:Gold (871); Adobe 1998 RGB: 126-113-76
HSB*: 44 degrees-40%-50%
What is the proper way of applying those values to the desired image.
My idea was to make the image black and white and than create a monotone image with the above specs. In this case the image gets washed out as the darkest black in the shadows becomes this Pantone gold. Is there any other way?

A duotone will work, however you are going to want to work closely with your printer . Most printers will want the second color in CMYK (Possibly C60 M40 Y0 K100 instead of RGB values or specify a Pantone Rich Black (I personally like 6C)but it will cost you more for the wash up of both heads of the printer...
Go to Image>Mode>Duotone (image must be greyscale first for this to work) then add the desired colors to your ink scales.

What is the proper way to include search terms in your page

Say you have a web page that is about a certain topic and has information displayed on the page. What is the proper way to include terms that you would like this page to show up on a search for but don't necessarily want to display on the page?
I didn't know if including the search keywords at the bottom in small font with invisible color was the proper way.

I didn't know if including the search keywords at the bottom in small font with invisible color was the proper way.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! This practice will get your site banned or blacklisted from Search Engines. It is considered a Black Hat tactic to attempt to mislead search engine results in an effort to drive traffic to your site.
Instead, use plenty of keyword rich, relevant text and good semantic mark-up (h1, h2, h3) inside the body of your pages. In time, search engines will find you.

What is the proper way to deal with cascading triggers in AcroForms?

(this has already been posted in the Scripting forum. Due to the lack of response, I am coming here to the Land of C/C++ Developers)
What is the proper way to deal with cascading triggers in AcroForms?
My question refers to the forms in which there is a binary question such as:
"Are you interested in travel?"
When the user clicks "Yes", there are further questions whose interactive fields are dot.hidden (or "!"), depending on the answer.
So far, I can handle the 1-level cases fine, but my doubt is how to implement nested dependencies. For the sake of simplicity, I would prefer to define the cause-effect relationship once ("Every time the 'Interested in Travel' box is checked, the field 'International or Domestic' should be visible") and send some sort of message/trigger downstream.
I would like the right things to happen (cascading triggers included) when the "Clear Form" menu command is selected.
Are those desirable features available in JavaScript (the particular JS used by the traditional AcroForms)?
Maybe I should look into C/C++ programming?
TIA,
-Ramon

I guess my problem is that I have some basic college experience in digital circuit design, and would like the forms to be programmed and behave in the same fashion as digital logic.
The "Clear Form" menu item, of course, would be equivalent to the reset button.
Perhaps it is possible to hook my code onto the "Clear Form" menu item?
