Where is wireframe view mode in Motion 5?

Am I missing something, or is there no way to view, like in Motion 4 or FCP 7, a way to view and manipulate objects in wireframe view.  That way complex actions can be tweaked and viewed back in real time, without the heavy rendering.
Maybe I just can't find the toggle.

I've been through the apple archives for Motion manuals. Could not find a manual for 1.x, but since 2.0 onward, the options for wireframing have been the same: Emitters and Replicators. 3D scene icons are wireframed (that would be since 3.0).
Your speed issues stem from Motion using floating point all the time now. There's no option to use 8-bit (integer) color.
Turn off Field Rendering (docs say it nearly doubles rendering time and it's not necessary for non-broadcast projects) and Frame Blending.
You can also reduce quality and resolution of the canvas (Render > Draft [or Half or Quarter]), but I haven't noticed very much benefit in speed increase by doing this.  You can also use the (Render>) Custom settings and turn everything off or set to lowest quality options. [The benefit of this is that Text quality is also included in the resolution settings.]
Another option is to toggle visibility of layers. Turning off layers you don't immediately need to test an animation will speed things up considerably (depending on the object.)
And lastly: RAM Preview. Set a play range of 2 - 3 seconds worth though, unless you have a huge amount of RAM available. Along with that, shut down all other running apps.

  • Where is timeline viewer mode in iMovie 11 like iMovie HD?

    I only have clip viewer mode? Where is timeline viewer mode in iMovie 11' like iMovie HD? for audio and video timing  I would just click on the clock symbol. HELP?

    Hi
    Bad news - There are non (Exactly as in iMovie 1 to HD6 or FinalCut)
    Good news - There are sort of - at least project is presented in ONE row.
    • Click on a specific iMovie PROJECT
    • In this window - top right hand there are two small symbols - one blue three squares and one with two brown red symbols. Click on the three blue squares one.
    • to get the Audio - under this there is a small wave like symbol - Click on this.
    But still this view has so many quirks that a person familiar with iMovie 1 to HD6, FinalCut, Adobe Premiere and Avid can feel a bit of serious frustration. (at least I do)

  • Any way to get frame accurate in icon view mode?

    Does anyone know if there is a way set frame accurate in points in icon view mode?  I know that if you are "hover scrubbing" a clip, and then click on it you can use the JKL keys to shuttle through the footage.  But is there any way to go frame-by-frame through the footage as well?
    I ask because I have a 4-camera shoot where the clips were synced by a slate clap.  I'd like to make a multicam clip from the shots so am going through and setting the "clap" as the in point of each clip, and then using them as sync points for the multicam clip.  I hover scrub to the general area of the slate clap (works great) then use the JKL key to narrow in "clap" even more (also works great).  However, it is nearly impossible to stop exactly on the frame where the slate hits using the JKL keys.  So I would like to get in the general vicinity using JKL, and then use some other keys or method to get to the exact frame of the "clap".  One would assume that the arrow keys would do this, but they don't. 
    Does anyone know if there is a way to accomplish this?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    I understand your point, and it never ocurred to me that I part of my normal workflow when doing things like that to more than a few clips is to select all of the clips and put them all in the Source Monitor with a single command. (Select them all, right click, and select "Open in Source Monitor".) So I don't go back and forth between windows. I guess I have been doing it so long I missed that step in the explanation. Sorry about that. Also, please understand that I skipped CS4 and CS5 so when I started using CS6 I have never really been comfortable with the hover scrub for anything serious. Not yet anyway.
    I figure that all of the clips will end up in the Source Monitor anyway before they hit the timeline, so why not put them up there and as I finish with each one I close that window and start on the next one.
    Those of us who go back to when Premiere became Premiere Pro have been waiting for some of these features a very long time. Slap-your-head it might be to you or me, but Adobe only has so much money to pay engineers and there is always something more important to work on. Like becoming codec agnostic or handling huge frame sizes. Adobe has borrowed many features from FCP, but it is still a work in progress. We just submit feature requests and attempt to convince others to do the same. You can't imagine how much time we spent a decade ago getting people to create the proper sequence. Now you just drag a clip to the New Item button and your sequence is perfect. That is magic to someone like me, who taught people how to use Premiere Pro 1.5 by copying FCP tutorials and recreating them in Premiere Pro (for Lynda.com) using the same footage.
    Jim Simon is often quite vocal about things he would rather see done that some of the requests. I agree with him most of the time, but every now and then a little thing I think should be done is not on his list and he will let me know in no uncertain terms why he thinks what he thinks. He can be pretty persuasive and it is difficult to argue with his logic. The Adobe folks read these forums, yes, but they read the feature requests and look to see how many customers want certain things done. Not a bad way to prioritize. Now that more FCP people will be submitting requests, there is a good chance that you will see more features that you want.
    So, while it may be obvious to you, it isn't obvious to Adobe until the masses speak. I suggest that you might want to consider being a rabble rouser, getting like minded people to put in the same requests. That is probably the best way to get what you want.
    As for going in reverse.... I think that if you have never had some of these things, they are not important to you. They are not all like adding reverse. Some are but some of these are like the tailfin on the 1959 Caddilac. The higher the better back then. But are they necessary?

  • Adding a link to another page in View Mode using Destination URI

    Hi All,
    I have the Search items page in iProcurement, and the Supplier Name is a text field in the search results region. Now I want to display the Supplier Name as a link, clicking on which the user should be taken to the corresponding Supplier details page in View Mode.
    Is this something that can be done through personalisation, as in without extending the controller etc. I tried by giving the url of the supplier page in the Destination URI of Supplier Name, and it navigates to the supplier page, but how do I implement the functionality of querying the details of the Supplier in context. That is, what is the url that needs to be used, and what are the parameters that need to be passed etc? What is the approach to implement such a functionality. I have done OAF development, but havent done any personalisation.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have a custom inventory report where I have a header region with the From Date and To Date column. The user enters these two dates and the data is displayed in the Table region between these two dates. Then in the item column I have a URL link which takes us to the Detail page. I need to pass the item number and the From Date and To Date in that link so the where clause can be set for the detail query. The attribute value for the item passes fine but I do not know how to pass the value for the dates. My URL looks like as below. I have tried different ways as mentioned in metalink or google search but no luck. Tried to capture the value also and it shows as the value as ‘$FromDate’.
    OA.jsp?page=/xxbn/oracle/apps/xxbn/consignment/webui/ConsSaleDetailPG&ItemNumber={@ItemNumber}&FromDate=$FromDate&ToDate=$ToDate&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=Y
    I would appreciate if I can get some light on this.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?

    iTunes on my Win7 PC: where is the slider to resize album arts???

    In the Grid view, *View > Grid View > Show Header* should expose the header. In the List view it's contolled by the size of the artwork column.

  • Book View Mode Crashes

    Hi all,
    I'm having some problems working on a photo book using iPhoto 6.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.3.
    I'm working with a small iPhoto library of about 1200 photos, all JPEG files. The library is about 3 years old. I probably started off using iPhoto 3 then gradually upgraded the library to iPhoto 6.
    I'm having some problems with the photo browser in book view mode. If I move the photo thumbnails around in the photo browser, they don't go where I drag them. Instead, they get wind up 2 or 3 thumbnails over. I don't know if this is happening all over the book thumbnails or just at the very end (where I happen to be working). I've been working on this photo book for about three weeks and this strange behaviour has been going on for the past day or two.
    The work-around is drag photos to the book pages and then drag them back to the photo browser.
    Eventually, iPhoto will crash.
    To me, it seems as if something's corrupt. I trash the various thumbnail files (ThumbJPGSegment.data, Thumb32Segment.data, Thumb64Segment.data) and the iPhoto pref file. (These are leftover workarounds from iPhoto 5.) But these actions don't seem to help.
    Any ideas, anyone? Has anyone seen this before? (I did a search for this sort of problem but didn't find anything in the discussion forums. I apologize if this has been covered previously.)
    Is there a solution? To me, it seems as if something's a preference or thumbnail file has gotten corrupted but I don't want to mess up my iPhoto library or do something I might later regret!
    Many thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    dan g.

    Hi GreenBug,
    People have had problems when moving photos from the photo browser strip to a page then dragging them back to the strip if they change their mind. This will most often cause a crash.
    Instead, if you don't want the photo where you placed it, select the photo and hit the delete key. This will pop the photo back up to the browser strip. Many people have reported that this stops the crashes.

  • Making custom icons with transparency, and Cover View mode

    I tried making a new icon for a folder, and transparency doesn't seem to be treated the same in Leopard as it was in Tiger.
    Trying to get an object to float onscreen, without a square white background, I tried pasting the following onto the folder's icon at the top of a Get Info window:
    1. one layer of a .psd file
    2. the image Saved For Web in Photoshop (as a GIF), open in Photoshop
    3. the same image saved as a .png, opened in Photoshop
    4. a Photoshop EPS with a clipping path, opened in Photoshop
    5. the GIF file opened in Preview
    6. the .png file opened in Preview
    the results:
    1. the transparency surrounding the object comes out as white
    2. a speckled, purple image with a white background
    3. the same as 2
    4. the same as 1
    5 and 6: the transparency seems to work: the icon on the
    Get Info window loses its white background and the icon floats correctly on the Desktop. But in Cover Flow viewing mode, it completely disappears.
    What am I missing? By the way, the icons for the image files, in Cover Flow, show the white background for the .psd and .png files, but not for the .gif, where the transparency shows correctly. The .gif's icon seems to show the image with a white background in List and Icon view, but only the generic GIF icon in Column view. This all seems strange to me.

    I think you probably discovered the Cover Flow Bug. See this thread and the older one referenced in it as well:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6846850
    As for the rest, well, at least you can copy something with a transparency out of Preview and paste it as an icon. Preview and Photoshop seem to me to not play well together with transparencies. I've gotten some VERY strange looking things, going back and forth between them with pngs and tiffs. Don't use gifs, or eps files, but I did notice that Finder does a rotten job coping with Photoshop's alpha channel (especially weird since once upon a time it worked fine, ditto for being able to show thumbs for eps files).

  • The "add to devices" button in "albums" view mode

    When I browse albums in iTunes in the "albums" view mode (cover art in grid format) and click on an album, the album is highlighted and an arrow appears to the far right of the highlighted album's title. This opens a menu which includes an "add to" button, when clicked it gives the option for m to add the album to my iphone. When I do this nothing happens. What is the purpose of this?
    I manually manage my music and I use the option to only sync checked artists/albums/songs. This works OK, the sync is oddly sluggish and I've had some instances where the iphone would randomly delete all my music but I guess that's another matter. There is no way to "check" an album in "albums" view mode so I was wondering if the "add to device" option would do the same thing but apparently not.
    Can anyone explain what this is for?

    Hi,
    I am not sure about whether you can able to add the button in Mail form but for your requirement you can certainly add URL to your mail form which will nevigate user to Log-in page of your webshop.

    It could be a permissions issue at the CMC level - raise it with your administrator. Your Web Intelligence options shouldn't look like that by default in 4.1 SP3 (mine don't!)

  • Main viewer mode affects browser mode but cannot be switched in browser mod

    The main viewer modes - specifically Multi and Stack change the selection and navigation operations of browser mode, but cannot be adjusted in browser mode.
    For example, if the main viewer mode is Stack mode, then the stack pick is green, the motion left and right cursors do nothing (beep), and multi-selection is not possible. While this is useful if you want to do stack operations, it's annoying if you don't, and it's not possible to switch to multi-select off without either going to the main viewer and changing it, OR (oddly) double clicking on a non stacked image and that goes to the main viewer AND changes it.
    Ideally you should be able to switch main viewer mode even when you are in browser mode.

  • Browsing Websites while in Presenter View Mode?

    Hi,
    I am doing many presentations where I have to comment on the content of websites and I have been using a lot the Web View feature, which I love. However, I don't seem to be able to do it while on presenter view mode, since I can't click on the slide to open the browser; it will just go to the next slide.
    Is there any way of doing this (apart from using single screen mode)? I am very comfortable on Two Screens mode and I don't want to go on One Screen mode just because I have to show a website online...
    Thanks

    Thanks. This actually work as you said, by clicking on screen 2.
    However, in most cases this may not be very useful...since you have to browse the website also in screen 2, which most times will be behind you, and if it's big it will be hard to read and many links will be hard to reach...
    Anyway, I imagine there is no other way and what we need is another feature for Keynote 4...maybe automatic switching from 2 screen to mirror when you browse a website?

  • Input Control in View mode

    Hello all,
    When I right click and "modify" my report i am able to set up my input controls. My question is that when I try to open my report by right click "View" mode, I dont have any option to change the values set in the Input controls.
    The report is only displaying what is set already. Is there any way for a user that only opens the report in view mode, change the values of the input controls?
    Thanks in advance!
    Niraj

    Hello,
    Thanks for both replies!!!
    I am still not able to locate the Input controls in "View" mode.  Once I open the report, in  the left panel is showing a Navigation Map.  Only options I see are down below where I can switch to "User Prompt Input", there it only shows me the prompt that I have in place upon refresh, and Binocular Icon for search.  Otherwise, no other options available; I must be missing something.  I am unable to see any other settings regarding input controls.  Do you think that it may have to do with some setting in the CMS?
    Any more feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Editing the 'show help' view mode default page

    I have enabled the 'show help' view mode on a few of my pages to give users some insight into how a given portlet should be used. However, when clicking on the 'help' link now on portals Portal takes you to some default styled help page. On this page are links to Portal Navigator and Portal Builder which I don't want my users seeing or being able to access. Also I wish to style the page differently. Can this page be altered and where can this be accomplished?

    Yes I understand. In that package is where you can input code for each of the modes. In the section for help view mode I have one line
    htp.p('Hello');
    The issue is on the actual webpage when you click the 'help' button for the portlet it displays the output of the line above but also displays other links that portal decided to stick in like a link to the portal navigator, an image in the upper left, etc. I don't want these to show up and want to sytle the page myself. I was wondering where I can go to edit the way that page is displayed.

  • View Modes - Day-Week-Month

    Does anyone know of any way to add a quarterly view mode? (in otehr words being able to see 90 days at a time as an added view option - Day/Week/Month/Quarter)
    If not, are there any third party workarounds that can modify and provide a 90 day view mode in iCal?
    At the very least is there any EFFECTIVE way to communicate and get this easy enhancement added to the upcoming version of iCal.
    It is incredibly inconvenient to have to move calendar items to the following month with the restrictive view of only one month. IN other words, if I wanted to move an appointment from February 24 to say March 20 I am forced to manually open the item and type in new dates.
    A great system program known as DateBook Pro 4.0 had such a view option and I absolutely miss it EVERY day!

    I am experiencing the same symptoms - Day, Week, Month and the Today button are all grayed out. It particularly seems to happen if I've left iCal running overnight. The only way I've found to fix it is to re-start iCal. When this is happening, the only way to navigate to a different week (or month) is to use the menu "Go to date" function. I think the onset of this problem relates to an Apple software upgrade , but I can't be sure which one.
