What shortcut to lock the timeline to the curser in the canvas?

I need to know which shortcut keys are used to lock the timeline to the curser in the canvas so I can see what is going to happen in the timeline BEFORE it happens.
Thanks

What do you mean "You can't"? Yes we CAN. Apple don't sell trash software where you have to things MANUALLY, that is totally against all that they stand for, I think you will have to check again Tom. That would be like selling a beautiful clock without a way to wind it up!

Locking the screen shortcut from a standard keyboard

Hello,
Have a question. Does anyone out there know what the shortcut to lock the screen is when using a (no mac) standard external keyboard?
I know that Control+Option+Eject works on the Macbook keyboard, but I'm suing a standard Microsoft Keyboard.
Thoughts?

Yes, but if you have System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Required password > Immediately set, you will need a password each and every time, you try to wake the screen.

How to lock the screen in OS X?

im new to Mac. been a PC user for over 10 yrs. I'm just wondering if OSx has a similar shortcut to lock the screen just like what you can do with "windows key+L" in XP.
I know i can do that with screen savers or just log off. But i just wanna know if there is an easier way. Thanks.

What about using the Sleep command?
APPLE > SLEEP
It puts your display and computer asleep. You can set it so that it requires you to insert your password to awake the computer from sleep mode or even your screen saver for that matter.
Open System Preferences then go to Security section. Then find the check box that says "Require Password to wake this computer from Sleep". Check it.
There's also an application that locks it and sets an alarm off when it is touched, tracked pad moved, keyboard or taking out your power adapter. It's called iAlertU. iAlerU - Version Tracker. You use your remote.
Open it in your applications folder. It's then added to your menu bar. Hold down the Menu button for 2 seconds on your apple remote until you hear a car lock sound. Do the same to unlock it.

Is the canvas something like "the final output"? Or is that the viewer?

I am making a video of my HD footage i shot with my Full HD Camcorder (Sony HDR-SR12).
When i go through te timeline and play something, it shows fully in my viewer, but in the canvas i get only a selection of the full image (it seems that it is zoomed in)... So, my question is, do i have to "make the video smaller" by choosing image+wireframe in the canvas? Because i am afraid that when i output on to a DVD, i will also get the zoomed-in video? Or is the Viewer the "final output?"... I am getting crazy, because i can't let two or more clips play after eachother in the Viewer, right?
Also, what is the best way to output my full HD footage? (without loosing to much quality) Just click "Export -> Quicktime Movie"? Wil quicktime not lose the HD? Thanx...

The canvas always displays the final result and quality of your editing in the current sequence in the timeline; the viewer is just a way to monitor single clips (not the composition of clips as in the canvas) and displays the quality of the clip usually before you edit it into the timeline.
This is important, because if (for example) your sequence (in the timeline) is a standard DV while your captured clips are HD, when you look at a clip in the viewer opened from the browser, you watch it at +HD quality+, when you drag (edit) the same clip into the timeline it is down-converted to the +DV lower quality+; and this is what you see in the canvas. Instead if you open a clip from the timeline (not browser) in the viewer, you see the exact same quality as in the canvas, but only for that single clip. So the best way is to always check quality in the canvas, since it shows the result of all your editing, conversions, and composition, as it will show up in the exported movie.
Now, to really verify the result in the canvas you must also make sure to:
- use Fit to Window (from the small zoom button on top of the canvas window) when you want see the full frame and its composition, but not the final quality
- instead use 100% (same button) to see the final quality for HD
- or even better connect the firewire output to an HDTV through a HDV deck (or camcorder) for HD, or to a standard TV through a D/A converter (or camcorder) for standard DV. The advantage of this solution is that you see the final result on the final output device while editing, without having to burn DVDs to check it (and this is almost mandatory when you import images and want to have control over interlacing artifacts).
When you export to iDVD you always use Export/Quicktime Movie even if you burn the DVD on different Mac; if the burner is on the same Mac you can uncheck the Make Movie Self-Contained option, so the file will be smaller and the export faster; otherwise you leave that option checked, and the file will contain all video and audio media necessary for burning (but the file much larger, and export much longer).
One more note: the Image+Wireframe option in the 2nd small button on top of the canvas (or also viewer) window allows you to apply changes to the frame size and position directly in the canvas without using the Basic Motion control of the viewer; in any case, whatever change you apply and you see in the canvas will be reflected also to the exported movie.
My guess in your case is that you are using a wrong (standard DV) setup for your sequence even if you captured HD, and that probably you zoomed in too much so that both the canvas and the exported movie show a small portion of the original frame.
I hope this helps a bit

Why is the CANVAS so shy all of all sudden?

Suddenly, when I want to slide the Canvas around to enlarge it full screen, it hides behind the Viewer or the Browser or the Timeline. Brand new phenomena. Any shortcuts for making the Canvas fullscreen and back? And why this new curtailment? - Thanks!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) fcp 5.1.2

The Viewer, Browser, Canvas and Timeline are all different windows that have their own visual hierarchy. If you resize the canvas and then select the viewer and they overlap, the viewer will cover the canvas. Quickest way to get back to your canvas if you lose it is using exposé.
To preview your movie turn on Digital Cinema Display. Go to the toolbar ----> View ----> Video Playback ---> and Select Digital Cinema Display Playback.
Now use command + F12 to toggle between cinema display and your standard editing view. If you're using a notebook you'll have to reclaim your F1-F12 keys in system preferences.
Other hotkeys for navigating between your windows while editing:
Command + 1 = Viewer
Command + 2 = Canvas
Command + 3 = Timeline
Command + 4 = Browser
Option + H will give you a list of all the hotkeys.
Good luck.

FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

Please help ASAP.
Specs: IOS 10.6.8
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MV

What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

What does the error "Unable to lock the following files:" mean?

What does the error "Unable to lock the following files:" mean? After the colon in this error message, a path to the .icml file is listed. We are using InDesign CS6 with InCopy CS6 (Mac), assignment-based workflow, on a shared server.
Thanks,

Sounds like a permissions issue on that server.

What is meant by locking the audit statistics?

Hi all,
I am getting this error in the inbound IDoc ALEAUD "The Audit statistics for sending system E1Q100, receiver system QS1310 and message type ORDERS could not be locked." Status 51, What is meant by locking the Audit statistics?
Thanks,
Charles.

It is basically trying to get a get a database lock on the table BDAUDSTATE to make your status updates but it was not able to.
See if a lock exists on this table and remove it, or it may also be a case of stepping on the toes that two simultaneous updates are going for the same IDoc.
It is basically a database lock error.

What is the shortcut to activate the tab list drop-down?

I seem to remember I used to use a keyboard shortcut to activate the tab list drop-down, instead of clicking on the downward arrow. Can someone tell me if it still exists and what it is?

Not that I know of if you mean the "List all tabs" button at the far right end of the Tab bar.
You can look at this extension to have an Alt+A shortcut.

What is the T-code to lock the VA01

What is the T-code to lock the VA01

Hi,
For any std. SAP T-codes, while implementation or support - normally t-codes
are alloted for the end users based upon the authorizations and roles..wherein
authorizations like create/change/display would be alloted depended upon the user
roles..when comibined all those corresponding authorization basis persons would
generate the User Role which would be again consider for generating the user profiles..so, this way, any SAP Std. or User Defined T-codes would be controlled.
Hope this helps..
assign points if useful..
Cheers,

When the locks are showing in te Track headers, press them to disable them.
