Working with a QuickSwipe comp

Questions about working with a QuickSwipe comp:
1) If I drag a new file into a take folder containing several takes, the new take file gets placed on top. This is fine unless I want the order to match the takes from another track. How can I change the order of takes in a take folder?
2) I had a QuickSwipe Comp all finished except that I was missing a short piece of audio. I brought the new audio into the take folder, but I didn't drop it into the exact right location. I had to move it, so I picked it up and moved it. Somewhere in this process, Logic erased all the QuickSwipe work that was previously done on the takes below this layer (all the way from the beginning to the end of the song). I don't know if it was when I first dropped the track in the take folder, or when I moved it, or what. What happened and how can I avoid this in the future?
3) In #2, the QuickSwipe comp that disappeared was on a comp track that was grouped with another comp track below it. "Editing" was checked in the group settings. When the QuickSwipe comp was erased by Logic, this only happened on one of the comp tracks. Somehow, Logic allowed me to use QuickSwipe to recreate my previous work on the screwed up comp track without affecting the other comp, even though editing in sync was still turned on. I would have expected to affect both tracks by applying QuickSwipe changes to one of them. This seems like a bug, even though it worked in my favor this time. Is it a bug or what?

Premiere CC - media offline when working with AE comps

I am working with Premiere CC and using After Effects CC comps for some Keylight 1.2 keying within the project - AE comps created in Premiere via "right click" on clip saying "superseded by AE comp".
The After Effects project incl. all the comps and Premiere project saved locally - same location, local.
Till now editing (P) & keying (AE) worked without any huge problems - due to using 4k material I had some play-back problems - not worth mention it though.
POSSIBLE REASON? When it started:
With both open - AE and Premiere project - I worked on the key in the AE comps. When finishing the keying I saved the changes - what normally works finw without asking me WHERE to save it.
Now AE asked me where I would like to save the project although it should have a location already - as I saved it before locally.
So I saved it with the same name and same location - overwriting the "old" project. That was when the problem occured...
PROBLEM:
Now the Premiere project can not find/link the AE comps / project. Saying: Media Offline.
Although it displays the right path in the Premiere project window!
TRIED THIS:
In Premiere I tried to "Link to media". Which will work for any three of the 20 AE comps!
At the 3rd or 4th one I try to link (automatically doesn't work here for some reason?) Premiere either hangs after a while or "changes mind" and finds no links anymore - even those I relinked just minutes before will have no connection anymore - again "offline"!
Nonetheless, the After Effects project works fine. No problems here (project has neither a long name nor blanks).
Any ideas what could be wrong? How can I relink the comps? I am really clueless.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Mylenium basically answered your question: quit both applications, manually clean Media Cache Database, restart PrPro and let it rebuild Media Cache Database (reconform files). Other than that provide information about your disk setup. Since AE wanted to know where to save project file, it might for some reason lost connection...

Working with 60fps clips in 24fps Linked Comp

I am trying to use the time warp effect in Ae to alter the speed of the clip at different points in the clip. So going from normal 100% down to 40% then back up to 100%, with a nice smooth gradation/ramping between speeds.
This is easy enough to achieve, I know how to do this, but the problem I am experiencing is bringing the clip from a 24fps timeline in Pr into a linked comp in Ae. The clip is 60fps, and is not conformed in Pr to 24fps. But when I bring it into the 24fps Ae comp it is slowing the clip down, conforming it to the comps setting, i guess. I just want it to play back in real time in Ae so that I can edit the time warp myself.
It is especially a problem because now the comp length is way shorter than the clip, which makes working with it an absolute nightmare.

It is very easy to get confused with frame rates. First, the only way to show all of your frames is to have the comp and the footage at the same frame rate. The speed of the playback as it relates to the clock on the wall depends on the frame rate used to record the original footage. If you want to slow down 60fps footage so that is plays at half speed then put your 60fps footage in a 30 fps comp and interpret the footage as 30 fps. Now the every frame of the footage will play back but it will take 20 seconds for the clock in the shot to show 10 seconds.
Most folks have a hard time figuring out how to look at time changes in footage and they make incorrect assumptions. If you want to play your footage at normal speed then slow down the footage, then return to normal speed and your original footage is 60 fps and the final video will be 24 fps then you have to Interpret the footage at it's original frame rate, bring it into After Effects, then enable time remapping. Time remapping will set a keyframe at the start and at the end of the clip. The clip will play back in real time but frames will either be blended or dropped. There is no way around this.
You go to the point in the time line where you want to start slowing down the clip and you set a keyframe, then you go to the part of the clip where you want the footage to play slowly and set another, then you go to the part of the clip where you want to start returning to real time and set another, then you go to the part of the clip where you want to return to real time.
Now comes the fun part. You select all of the keyframes except the first two and drag them to the right. so that keyframe number 3, the point where you want the footage to be at it's constant slow motion part is where you want to have this happen according to the clock on the wall. IOW if you want the first 2 seconds to play in real time then the second keyframe is at 2 seconds, then at 3 seconds you want to clip to start playing back at 1/4 speed you would select all of the keyframes except the first two and drag the third keyframe to the 3 second mark.
Now you select all of the keyframes but the first three and drag them to the right. You need to move the 4th keyframe far enough to the right so that the footage will be playing at 1/4 speed. If you want the original footage from two and a half seconds to 10 and a half seconds to play at 1/4 speed then that's 40 seconds according to the clock on the wall so you would slide all of the keyframes except the first 4 to the right until the 4th keyframe came to the 40 second mark.
You repeat the process for all of the keyframes except the first 4 and move them to the right until you get to the point where you want the clip to return to normal time. Then you go into the graph editor and adjust the curves of the value graph until you get the timing you want with a constant angle between the first two keyframes, a curve between the second and third, a straight line that has 1/4 the slope of the first section between 3 and 4, then a curve between 4 and 5 and the same slope between 5 and 6 that you have between 1 and 2.
I think I already went through this for you in another thread. Maybe it was for someone else.
If you use Twixtor to do this the theory is exactly the same. It just takes a while to get used to thinking in time.

Hi Rajesh,
Development Component : The projects(say WebDynpro) are by default private. i.e. the components inside a project are not accesible from another project. To make them as public, so that it can be shared, we are creating Development Components.
Scenario we use DC's : We use them in distributed computing, where a product will be developed by a team of members.
Know the hierarchy:
> A product may have as many as Software Components.
> A Software Component may have as many as Development Components.
> A Development Component is the smallest building block in the hierarchy.

Can I do all my work with 8 bpc and then change the comp to 32 bpc for final render?

Well, I know I can, but I want to know if this is a fine workflow.
Since non of the effects in AE are destructive, when I change from 8-bit to 32-bit everything gets recalculated, right?
To give you more detail, I'm working with RAW footage from my Canon 5Dm3 and I'm using Element 3D and RedGiant plugins. The whole thing has tons of comps and effects.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

The look of blend modes, color correction, and blurs, gradients, and motion blur will change so you'll need to check everything carefully before you render. FYI I seldom work in anything but 32Bit because most of my work involves a lot of blending and layering and that all works better. If I do 8 bit projects they are usually just simple graphics. Even those projects are usually converted to 16bit for rendering.
Most of the time I render tests for client approval using the AME using the Vimeo or YouTube h.264 presets, but most approved projects are rendered to a 32 bit image sequence if they are to be used again or at minimum a 10 bit 444 Digital lIntermediate for archiving. Compressed deliverables are always rendered using the Adobe Media Encoder or specialized software requested by the client.

Iwork 06 not working with new comp (says I never purchased it, lies!)

-this question was suggested to be moved from appleworks to this forum-
So I recently purchased a Macbook Pro. The gentleman at the apple store suggested I move over my hard drive from my old comp to my new one using a firewire cable. Which worked great. But when I tried to open my iworks ('06) it stated that my 30 day trial was over and that I had to purchase one now. I purchased the iworks as a bundle with my old comp but now it says its a trial version instead now?
I have no desire to shell out the money needed to purchase this product that I already do own.
Suggestions please as to how I remedy this situation.

If you have not entered the serial number in iWork on the new Mac, it does not "know" you purchased it. It is not lying. How would it know?
If you still have access to the old computer, you can open one of the iWork applications as fruhulda suggested & write down the serial number, or you can copy the com.apple.iWork.plist from HD > Library > Preferences to the same location on your new Mac. This is the main Library at the root level of your hard drive.

You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. just opened this Mac comp having regrets.. uploaded this version because it was offered.. and can't work with pics???? what do I do to resolve this????

HELP.. I just opened this Mac Pro.. having second thoughts of the gift.. got it to work with pics .. and now it tells me ..
"You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X." "you have iphoto 9.3.2"
I hav no idea how to use this Machine..

If you're running Mavericks and have iPhoto 9.3.2 you can upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 at the App Store for free.

Cisco css http keepalive is not working with GET command

Dear all
i have Cisco Css connected to Dell Server (via switch)
Cisco CSS - 192.168.1.3 and Dell Server - 192.168.1.5
Dell server is setup with windows 2009R2 and Apache HTTPD is version 2.2
This server is dedicated to host multiple doamins with Apache lik
www.abc.co.uk
www.xyz.co.uk
Now the clinet wants to setup the http keepalive with specfic web page like /testpage.html for all these domains. i have teseed with single URI. it is working the comamnds are
config)# service serv1
(config-service[serv1])# ip address 192.168.1.5
(config-service[serv1])# keepalive type http
(config-service[serv1])# keepalive method head    ( get i have not used due to hash mismatch with apche server, if i use GET it is not working)
(config-service[serv1])# keepalive uri "/testpage.html"
(config-service[serv1])# active
It is working with single URI. but how can i do the same thing for multiple doamins ?
for multiple doamins do i need use script ? or can i use with commands ?
if i need to use script the script is
!no echo
! Filename: httptag-test
! Parameters: HostName WebPage HostTag
! Description:
!       This script will connect to the remote host and do an HTTP
!   GET method upon the web page that the user has asked for.
!   This script also adds a host tag to the GET request.

!       2. Not receiving an HTTP status "200 OK"
if ${ARGS}[#] "NEQ" "3"

        exit script 1
endbranch

! Wait for a good status code
set EXIT_MSG "Waitfor: Failed"
socket waitfor ${SOCKET} "200 OK"
no set EXIT_MSG
socket disconnect ${SOCKET}sh w
exit script 0
in the script i have not used GET becasue, when CSS send GET request to apache it use hash, but apache is not able to respond with same hash and it shows that website is down. more information- click below url

keepalive type script httptag-test "192.168.1.5 /testpage.html www.xyz.co.uk
but this script is not working
my question is:
1.do i need use script only to setup http keepalvie with webpage for multiple domains ?
2.with out using script is there any solution like CICSCO CSS commands to setup http uril for multiple domains which are on 1 singl server.
please help me asap

Hello Muhammad,
If you wish to use multiple domains for a URI keep-alive check, and perform a HEAD request what Daniel mentioned is correct. You have to use a scripted keep-alive check on the service. However, you should not use the default "ap-kal-httptag" script to do so as it's limited to only 1 website (unless you modify the script). You're best bet would be using the "ap-kal-httplist" script on the CSS as it allows the checking of 2 different websites along with a webpage to check for each site using HTTP HEAD method.
!no echo
! Filename: ap-kal-httplist
! Parameters: Site1 WebPage1 Site2 WebPage2 [...]
! Description:
!    This script will connect a list of sites/webpage pairs. The
!   user must simply supply the site, and then the webpage and
!   we'll attempt to do an HTTP HEAD on that page.
! Failure Upon:
!   1. Not establishing a connection with the host.
!   2. Not receiving a status code 200 on the HEAD request on any
!      one site. If one fails, the script fails.
! Make sure the user has a qualified number of arguments
if ${ARGS}[#] "LT" "2"
        echo "Usage: ap-kal-httplist \'WebSite1 WebPage1 WebSite2 WebPage2 ...'"
        exit script 1
endbranch
while ${ARGS}[#] "GT" "0"
        set Site "${ARGS}[1]"
    var-shift ARGS
    if ${ARGS}[#] "==" "0"
        set EXIT_MSG "Parameter mismatch: hostname present but webpage was not"
        exit script 1
    endbranch
    set Page "${ARGS}[1]"
    var-shift ARGS
    no set EXIT_MSG
    function HeadUrl call "${Site} ${Page}"
endbranch
exit script 0
function HeadUrl begin
! Connect to the remote Host
set EXIT_MSG "Connect: Failed to connect to ${ARGS}[1]"
socket connect host ${ARGS}[1] port 80 tcp 2000
! Send the head request
set EXIT_MSG "Send: Failed to send to ${ARGS}[1]"
socket send ${SOCKET} "HEAD ${ARGS}[2] HTTP/1.0\n\n"
! Wait for the status code 200 to be given to us
set EXIT_MSG "Waitfor: Failed to wait for '200' on ${ARGS}[1]"
socket waitfor ${SOCKET} " 200 " 2000
no set EXIT_MSG
socket disconnect ${SOCKET}
function HeadUrl end
Rather then modify the default "ap-kal-httplist" script on the CSS I would simply define the arguments within the service configuration itself.   Something like the following (using your service example):
service dell-192.168.1.5
ip address 192.168.1.5
keepalive type script ap-kal-httplist "www.abc.co.uk /testpage.html www.xyz.co.uk /testpage.html"
active
As long as the server is configured to reply to host headers, and the page is configured to retuen a "200 OK" the above service configuration should work. If there are any errors simply run "show service " to view why there was a failure. If there is a failure, and the output from the command specified shows a line number run the following command against the script to view at what point (line) did the failure occur:
show script ap-kal-httplist line-numbers
Hope this helps!

How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

Hello fellow Mac users,
How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
Best,
Tony

Why does my ipod work with another itunes library

I was adding some music from my friends computer onto my ipod nano, and I do not know why, but it synced like usual, despite the fact it was a different library.
Why is it doing this?

I have a 30GB iPod that only syncs with my iTunes
once a day. When I purchase songs and plug in my iPod
again to my computer to update it, it won't update
again. My comp also doesn't recognize that my iPod is
plugged in. This frustrates me because I have to wait
for the next day to sync my iPod with these new
songs. I also can't sync songs from my Windows Media
Player to it as well, because I've already updated my
iPod for that day. Does anyone else have this
problem? Am I even making sense?
Well, Windows Media Player really isn't supposed to work with iPods, so if you are having trouble getting those two together, it's not all that surprising. As for iTunes not recognizing the iPod... are you leaving the iPod connected to your computer and then going back to iTunes at a later time? If you are, try just disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. If you connect it and it doesn't recognize it, you might want to try a different USB port, preferably on the back of your PC tower, or restarting the computer, that sort of thing. Basically, there's no reason iTunes would recognize the iPod only once a day... it should be recognized everytime you connect it, as long as you are physically connecting the cable each time you want it to appear in iTunes.

Mac Mini not working with AOL Cable modem

All,
I just bought a brand new Mac Mini but it not working with AOL. My windows XP PC working well with AOL but not with mac mini. Any suggestions? thanks
Hung

I just found an interesting thing that i brought my mac mini to Apple store where i bought it. Hook up with store cable, it can go thru to internet with out sign on AOL. ALso I can connect to AOL very easy. Brought it back home, I tried to open browser w/o sign on AOL like i did at Apple store, it did not work. I also tried to sign on AOL alone, still not work either. The weird thing is, my other Windows XP computer is working well with AOL. I called customer service of AOL for help, who takes care the Mac computer, asked me to follow the simple procedure that I already did before i called them like unplug cable modem, restart computer...etc. Nothing new, and then they transfered me back and forth between Mac and Windows specilist with no help. I was on phone with them for 2 hours yesterday. I'm very disappoint with AOL customer service with the way they serve the customer. I'm thinking to cancel membership with AOL where i stay with them more than 10 years, and look for another cable or DSL ISP. Now I'm packing the Mac Mini back to box and bring it to Apple store to return it. Next thing, is search around which ISP, who supports the Apple comp. I'm living at Los Angeles area where's very easy to find a local ISP Verizon, Earthlink, Road Runner... I'll be back to buy a new Mac when i get the internet ready. I love Apple computer, and i want to have it.

Big Fish Games stop working in Mavericks. What do I do? I have re-installed them and the manager app, and nothing. I have not gotten an answer from Big Fish tech staff. Thought the problem might be with Maverick. all the games worked with Snow Leopard

Any body have this kind of problem. What was done to correct it. . .

I can't wait to get a new phone as well. LG Revolution owners should be comped for this phone if Verizon intends to keep them as customers.

Neither JMX nor JNDI seems working with OEP 12.1.3 (regression ?)

Hi,
I'm currently writing an OEP application, on the 12.1.3 version.
My first problem is related to JMX: when OEP is started, I cannot connect in JMX:
I lanch "OEP_HOME/oep/bin/wlevsjconsole.cmd"
I use the following URL "service:jmx:msarmi://localhost:9002/jndi/jmxconnector" with user "wlevs" and my pwd
Impossible to connect...
My second problem is related to JNDI resource access:
I add an "data-source" with its "data-source-params/jndi-names/element" in the OEP domain's config.xml file
I start my OEP (with or without security disbaled, it doesn't change nothing)
I try to access programmatically the JNDI resource (using the InitialContext lookup method with no prefix, with "java:comp/env/jdbc/", with "java:jdbc/, with "jdbc/") but I always get a NameNotFoundException.
I try to list programmatically the JNDI resources using the list("") but I get a NoPermissionException.
I'm not 100% sure, but it seems to me that these things were working with the 11 version of OEP. Could these be regressions ?
Thx for any help or advice on this.

After a reboot of node 2 everything returned to work fine.

How can I work with lightroom when I use two computers ?

I am new to Lightroom and work with a laptop at home and a PC at work. Before I started to use LR3 I simply duplicated my pic files onto both machines, edited on whichever machine I wanted and then synchronised the folders. This system provided me with a working copy at either home or work and also a backup copy on the other machine.
I would like to operate the same system with LR3 but am unable to figure it out due to the automatic filing system used by the programmme to seperate the raw files and the instructions for those files.
Can anyone provide me with simple step by step instructions on how to transfer the files/instructions by using a flash drive and "Copy and replace"system
as I am totally confused by the grammar, syntax, and terminology used by Adobe.

Hi Geoffbubbles,
if you see only 1 photo you did export only 1 photo in the catalog.
Make sure you select all (e.g. <ctrl> A or remove the tick from "export selected photos only" in the dialog box of export-as-catalog =>will pick the total folder).
What Dorin mentions are catalogs as transportation vehicles between the two LR computer catalogs.
Let's assume you start on your home-comp and transfer to the work-comp.
When you EXPORT you give a name "home-to-work" for the transport catalog. You decide if you include the pictures by ticking "exclude negative files".
You would do so only for the first time, when your work-comp would not yet have them.
These are the original files which would never be touched, but which LR needs to have available to do develop work (i.e. to write develop instructions into its database). [Or maybe only you need them in order to have LR display the effects of what you are doing, if your slider settings achieve your desired result.]
When you transfer your new settings from the work-comp to the home-comp which has the original files already you only need to transfer the DB-records for the files, i.e. the catalog parts. Then it is sufficient to export-as-catalog (name it "work-to-home") without the tick for the negative files. Which will obviously save a lot of data to transfer.
As would leaving off the tick for "include available previews", but then your receiving computer would have to render the previews itself - your choice where you spend the effort.
Depending on your ticks checked in export dialog the data on the transfer stick will show different folders:
1 wrapping folder with the name you specified as transportation catalog name (in the example above "home-to-work")
therein the catalog file *.lrcat (home-to-work.lrcat)
if "include negative files" ticked: as many subfolders as the original folder structure/names of the pictures in it had on the sending machine
if "include available previews" ticked: an *Previews.lrdata-folder ("home-to-work Previews.lrdata") with lots of subfolders labelled 0...F
On the receiving computer, when you IMPORT FROM CATALOG, you only select the *.lrcat-file.
In the dialog box you decide if you import the negative files (prereq you had included them) or if you just add them without moving (why not leave them on the stick i.o. actually copying over to the work-comp?). If there are no new photos, but just new settings, you can either overwrite your old settings (which is probably your intention) or tick "preserve old settings as virtual copies".
When you use Dorins smart collection "Touched today" the virtual copies should not show up upon re-export on the way "work-to-home", provided you have further tweaked the master versions only. Or they do because in the end you liked them better and continued tweaking on them.
Note if you do not include previews: you might need to tell LR on the receiving comp to rerender the previews if it contains the photos and earlier previews already - I am not sure, if LR starts off on its own to rerender them.

How do I get ym video to work with Lion? The video button is greyed out.

I thought this was supposed to be an automatic thing but I can't seem to get the video portion of ym to work with ichat. Any suggestions are appreciated. I am using Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
