Where is the "Express" in FC Express?

I've used a PC for 15 years now, and was a Pinnacle Studio user for the last several years. Recently they added a Green Screen effect to STUDIO and it was "impossibly easy" <g> to do green screen in that product.
I've recently (5 months) started using FC Express to edit my video do to a number of reliability issues with STUDIO.
I also have used Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements.
What I find ironic is that FC Express is seemingly ignoring the ease-of-use features in other Express or express-like product.
Take green screen for example--in FC Express I read several articles on-line on how to do a chroma key effect/green screen effect. 99 clicks and adjustments and several hours later, I had a somewhat poor result.
I went back to STUDIO and in 15 minutes I had the entire sequence finished and much better quality that in FC Express.
My question and point is, when is Apple going to realize that Express users may be people who want more than iMovie offers, and yet also want to do a semi-profressional job of editing. When is Apple going to add ease-of-use functions to Express? I mean, I want to use Express and then perhaps jump into FC Pro for more complicated or profressional stuff--but Express should have at least 5 or 6 ease-of-user features built-into it.
Green Screen
Picture-in-picture
Scene Detection (improved)
Ken Burns Effect
I'm sure there's a couple more I'm forgetting--but you get my point.
There are some of us that want more than iMovie can produce, but don't want the high-end controls. In otherwords, we want Cessna not a Space Shuttle navigation system.

Hi Bob,
Sorry to hear of your problems.
I am quite new to FCE HD and have not done any Green Screen but I have done Blue Screen using a large bedsheet costing £3 at the local market!
The results were excellent and took little more than seconds to set up in FCE. (I did use the Green/Blue Screen filter rather than the Chromakey one).
The speed, ease of use and finished product were all superior to previous attempts in Premiere 6.5.
Picture in picture and the workaround for auto scene detection are also a doddle.
For PiP just use the Scale Setting in Motion (having put the small picture in Video Track 2) to set to the required size in the Canvas and drag the resultant small image to the desired position. I have just done a test one and it literally only took a few seconds and played back instantly without rendering.
If you want to do Ken Burns Effects try this simple tutorial from Tom Wolsky's book - "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop".

Thank you all for the responses. By process of elimination, I think the problem is the connection to the express in between the extreme and dock. I bought another express and tried it at dock, no luck, I then replaced new express where the one is between

I have an airport extreme and express setup. My extreme is in my 2nd floor office with windows facing the water. My dock is about 250 ft away down a very steep hill. I have the express about 100 ft down the hill in an electrical waterproof box attached to a tree as high as I could install. The signal is weak and I'm thinking I might have to buy another express. Any thoughts on the best setup for me. I ultimately want to control speakers(hard wired in) down at the dock with my iphone. I have a receiver coming with airplay built in.
Thank you all for the responses. By process of elimination, I think the problem is the connection to the express in between the extreme and dock. I bought another express and tried it at dock, no luck, I then replaced new express where the one is between extreme and dock, no better. I unplugged the express between extreme and dock and there was no difference. So I believe I am connecting to the airport express or extreme that is inside the house. Again because when i approach express that is halfway I reconnect. so if you can understand my chaos, I believe the express in between is not really connecting to the extreme inside my house. Yes, No? So I need to know how to know if the express half way down the hill is getting the connection from the the extreme in the house. This is wearing me out!!!!!

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Where is the serial key on the pack of Labview 7 Express??

Where is the serial key on the pack of Labview 7 Express??

Hi
It can be found on a card within the box , there are usually two stickers (Self adhesive) to be attatched to the CD Pack or filed away for reference. It is not printed on the pack itself.

FinalCut Express - where is the serial number ?

I had to change motherboard on my macbook pro (not hard disk), and then final cut express ask again for serial number - I have the original box and cd, and cant find this number !
==> where is the serial number ?

There should be 2 peel-off stickers attached to the documentation.
Very distinctive as the print at the top is red and the numbers below are black.

HT4262 where is the apple airport express ID located?

just bought an apple airport express. can anyone tell me where the airport ID can be found?

Unfortunately, Apple no longer prints the Ethernet ID and AirPort IDs on the AirPort Express.
You can locate the IDs by configuring the Express to connect to your network, and then use AirPort Utility to display the information that you need.
You did not provide information on the type of operating system that you are using on your computer, so we cannot provide any more specific information about locating the IDs if you need more help.
If yu are using a Mac, and do not know what version of the operating system you are using, you can find that information by clicking on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then clicking About This Mac. The OS X Version Number will be displayed. Post back with that info.

Where is the Airport Express Assistant?

I have successfully installed a first airport express as base. Now i want to add 3 more extensions ... but i cant find the assistant that allows me to the extension. I have looked in Applic/Utilities, but its not there. I think i am update in basic software -- 10.4.3 and Tunes 6.01.3.
I have tried to reinstall the Express CD ...but the system sys refuses ... saying that I already have the software.
I have looked in the support section of Apple to get a download and it does not exist alone ...only in the full airport software...that my machine refuses.
Help please!
Many thanks in advance!

The Airport Express Assistant is an obsolete application referred to in some of the older product documentation for the Airport Express. You should use the Airport Setup Assistant, which is found in the /Applications/Utilities folder of your Mac - unless you trashed it by mistake!

HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good. Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension. Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express. But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet. Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it. I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty. I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

I finally got it working. I was trying to set it up ethernet. My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode. So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'. Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it. So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
So here's the weird part. When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options. One would be 'ethernet' extended. So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem. This is when I got frustrated. I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options. One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was). And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful. I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from. It will work if only 3 options come up. And success if only verified by the big checkmark. Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it. Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with. It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
Thanks for the response. I really do appreciate it.
Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
- configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
Using Airport 5.6.1
1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
2) Following restart, Select Continue
3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
- if 4 options are present, may not work
4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger. The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
Thanks again.

I have an airport extreme for my main internet connection, an express to listen to music on my home theatre, another express to extend the network upstairs, and one more express for my wireless printer. whats the best way to setup the express stations?

So basically I would like to know if its best to have them setup on "join a wireless network" or "extend a wireless network"
Obviously the one I use to extend the network is setup that way, the other 2 are set on "join a network"
is this the optimal configuration? or should I have them all on "extend a wireless network" ?

There is really no "best" setting here for the AirPort Express devices. If you need more wireless coverage in the area where an Express is located, then it makes sense to configure the Express to "extend" a wireless network.
If you already have good coverage in an area where an Express is located, then the "join" configuration makes sense.
I've yet to meet the first user who felt that he/she had too much wireless signal coverage in their home, but you never know.

I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."
For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb.
In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.

In the expression editor dialog box my TAB key doesn't function correctly

This is bizarre behavior that seems to have started recently.
In Visual Studio 2012, an SSRS project, any expression editor dialog:
The tab key doesn't work right.
Open the expression editor and:
* I see a blinking cursor and I can type in the expression box.
* If I hit the tab key, the cursor disappears and I cannot type. I appear to lose focus in the editor but focus doesn't appear to go anywhere else in the dialog box.
* If I hit the tab key a 2nd time, the cursor is still gone and I cannot type.
* If I hit the tab key a 3rd time, I can finally type again and note that I am now
3 tabstops in. In other words it seems like the tabs were working but I lost the ability to type anything until I "tab" 3 magical times.
I can work around this by hitting tab key then grabbing the mouse and clicking where the cursor SHOULD be which returns focus to the text area.
Hopefully this image helps clarify:
Anybody know what is wrong?

Hi Bostaevski,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, as you said that the cursor disappears and cannot type issue. It seems that the issue may be not Visual Studio the VS IDE issue.
In addition, I find a similar thread about the
Expression Editor Cursor Issue,
please see:
http://www.beta.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/780682/vs-2012-rdlc-expression-editor-cursor-issue#.
Therefore, I suggest you could also try to press alt with left and right arrow keys and check if it is works fine.
Thnank for your understanding!

Your problems are many...
a) it's very poor design to be storing expressions or sql statements or any 'executable' style code as data in the database.
b) what you're storing is a string of characters. Oracle isn't going to miraculously know that that is some expression that has to be evaluated, so why should it decide to treat it as such?
c) this poor design can lead to security issues especially around SQL injection.
d) to actually perform what you want would require you to build a dynamic SQL statement and then execute that using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE or DBMS_SQL (or for a 3rd party client, a Ref Cursor), but then there are numerous issues around doing dynamic SQL, aside from SQL injection, in that you are producing code that is not validated at compile time and can thus lead to bugs showing only at run-time and sometime only under certain conditions; the code is harder to maintain; the code can potentially be avoiding the use of bind variables, impacting on resources and performance on the database; the final query can be difficult to know just from reading the code, making further development or debugging a pain in the posterior. Essentially, dynamic SQL is considered very poor design and is 99.9% of the time used for the wrong reasons.
So, why are you trying to do this? What is the business requirement you are trying to solve?
