Yikes!! (I lost my Effects Tab) .. Simple Question

Greetings all. I was editing a video on my copy of Premiere pro CS5 today and I somehow lost my effects tab.
Where is says Audio mixer, thats where I used to be able to go on the Effects tab. I just want help getting it back.
I was not paying attention when it happened but I lost it because for some reason one time I looked at it and it was in a seperate window up there. Not sure if its supposed to be but I wasn't buying it and I clicked the cross, then realised the tab is gone.
I have tried to set the layout to something else then back to editing and its still missing.
I just want to know how to enable the Effects tab. Thanks for your time.

Or,
Window>Effect Controls.

Shoul there be an access tab on my iTunes

You don't view your calendar, on your Mac, that way. You sync your calendar to your Mac using iCloud, or iTunes. Read here:

Snap function in CS4 After Effect (simple Question)

Windows 7 Ultimate
After Effect CS4
Gentlemen .
A very simple question, since i am more of a Premiere person, it seems like I am stuck with this problem and the problem is
In Premiere its called "Snap" its a tool or function that automatically finds the connecting or starting or ending of a clip.
For example if I have 3 channels of video and I have many cuts, by dragging the edge of a video , it tells or shows me when they are connected
I tried to search , all I find is "Snap to Guides" which in not doing what I want .
If you need more explanation, plz let me know , else hope you can help.
Thanks.
Btw. in Premiere the Snap looks like a "Magnet"

To help you with that we need to know something about your composition settings and the settings you picked in the output module. Anything else would just be a guess. My guess is that you're using some HD footage from a non square pixel aspect ratio format and rendering to the same size. If you pick a square pixel HD format (1080 or 720 both have square pixel frame sizes in the default composition settings) and you put your HDV, DVCProHD, AVCHD, Mpeg non square footage in a square pixel comp it will fit and render out correctly.

Lost Effects Tab In Browser. How Do I Get It Back?

That's it! How do I get the Effects Tab back in the Browser and how did I lose it in the first place?
Ian.

Thanks Rhyno,
But I have tried that and the Effects Window appears but it is no longer part of the Browser and I can't get it back in the Browser.

Lost Effects Tab In The Browser !

I have seen this problem mentioned in the past but never taken any notice.
I have got the Effects tab and window back in FCE 4 by trashing the preferences but wondered if there was a less drastic way of doing it?

SOLVED !
I managed to find a 3 year old answer by VJK.
Window>Effects and drag the tab into the Browser.

Load Balancing Directory Servers with Access Manager - Simple questions

Hi.
We are in the process of configuring 2 Access Manager instances (servers) accessing the same logical LDAP repository (comprising physically of two Directory Servers working together with Multi-Master Replication configured and tested) For doing this, we are following guide number 819-6258.
The guide uses BigIP load balancer for load balancing the directory servers. However, we intend to use Directory Proxy Server. Since we faced some (unresolved) issues last time that we used DPS, there are some simple questions that I would be very grateful to have answers to:
1. The guide, in section 3.2.10 (To configure Access Manager 1 with the Directory Server load balancer), talks about making changes at 4 places, and replacing the existing entry (hostname and port) with the load balancer's hostname and port (assuming that the load balancer has already been configured). It says that changes need not be made on Access Manager 2 since the LDAPs are in replication, and hence changes will be replicated at all places. However, the guide also states that changes have to be made in two files, namely AMConfig.properties, and the serverconfig.xml file. But these changes will not be reflected on Access Manager 2, since these files are local on each machine.
Question 1. Do changes have to be made in AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml files on the other machine hosting Access Manager 2?
Question 2: What is the purpose of putting these values here? Specifically, what is achieved by specifying the Directory server host and port in AMConfig.properties, as well as in serverconfig.xml?
Question 3. In the HTTP console, there is the option of specifying multiple primary LDAP servers, as well as multiple secondary LDAP servers. What is the purpose of these? Are secondary servers attempted when none of the list in the primary list are accessible? Also, if there are multiple entries in the primary server list, are they accessed in a round robin fashion (hereby providing rudimentary load balancing), or are other servers accessed only when the one mentioned first is not reachable etc.?
2. Since I do not have a load balancer setup yet, I tried the following deviation to the above, which, according to me, should have worked. If viewed in the HTTP console, LDAP / Membership / MSISDN and Policy configuration all pointed to the DS on host 1. When I changed all these to point to the directory server on host 2 (and made AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml on host 1 point to DS of host 2 as well), things should have worked fine, but apparently Access manager 1 could not be started. Error from Webserver:

In effect, AM on 1 did not start. On rolling back the changes, things again worked like previously.
Will be really grateful for any help / insight / experience on dealing with the above.
Thanks!

Update to the above, incase anyone is reading:
We setup a similar setup in Windows, and it worked. Here is a detailed account of what was done:
1. Host 1: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST1:389)
2. Host 2: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST2:389)
3. Host 1: Started replication. Set to Master
4. Host 2: Started replication. Set to Master
5. Host 1: Setup replication agreement to Host 2
6. Host 2: Setup replication agreement to Host 1
7. Initiated the remote replica from Host 1 ----> Host 2
Note that since default installation uses abc.....xyz as the encryption key, setting this to same was not an issue.
9. Started webserver for Host 1 and logged into AM as amadmin.
10. Added Host 2 FQDN in DNS Aliases / Realms
11. Added http://HOST2_FQDN:80 in the Platform server (instance) list.
12. Started Host 2 webserver. Logged in AM on Host 2, things worked fine.
At this stage, note the following:
a) Host 1:
AMConfig.properties file has
com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host1_FQDN
and
com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
serverconfig.xml has:
<Server name="Server1" host="host1_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
b) Host 2:
AMConfig.properties file has
com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host2_FQDN
and
com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
serverconfig.xml has:
<Server name="Server1" host="host2_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
c) If one logs into AM, and checks LDAP servers for LDAP / Policy Configuration / Membership etc services, they all contain Host2_FQDN:389 (which makes sense, since replica 2 was initialized from 1)
Returning back to the configuations:
13. On Host 1, login into the Admin server console of the Directory server. Navigate to the DPS, and confgure the following:
a) Network Group
b) LDAP servers
c) Load Balancing
d) Change Group
e) Action on-bind
f) Allow all actions (permit modification / deletion etc.).
g) any other configuations required - Am willing to give detailed steps if someone needs them to help me / themselves! :)
So now, we have DPS configured and running on Host1:489, and distributing load to DS1 and DS2 on a 50:50 basis.
14. Now, log into AM on Host 1, and instead of Host1_fqdn:389 (for DS) in the following places, specify Host1_fqdn:489 (for the DPS)--
LDAP Authentication
MSISDN server
Membership Service
Policy configuation.
Verified that this propagated to the Policy Configuration service and the LDAP authentication service that are already registered with the default organization.
15. Log out of AM. Following the documentation, modify directory.host and directory.port in AMConfig.properties to point to Host 1_FQDN and 489 respectively. Make this change in AMConfig.properties of both Host 1 as well as 2.
16. Edit serverconfig.xml on both hosts, and instead of they pointing to their local directory servers, point both to host1_FQDN:489
17. When you start the webserver, it will refuse to start. Will spew errors such as:

Success!
The server https-host1_FQDN has started up.
The server infact, didn't start up (nothing even listening on 58080).
However, if AMConfig.properties is left as it originally was, and only serverconfig.xml files were changed as mentioned above, web servers started fine, and things worked all okay. (Alright, except for some glitches when viewed in /amconsole. If /amserver/console is accessed, all is good. Can this mean that all is still not well? I am not sure).
So far so good. Now comes the sad part. When the same is done on Solaris 9, things dont work. You continue to get the above error, OR the following error, and the web server will refuse to start:
Differences in Solaris and Windows are as follows:
1. Windows hosts have 1 IP and hostname. Solaris hosts have 3 IPs and hostnames (for DS, DPS, and webserver).
No other difference from an architectural perspective.
Any help / insight on why the above is not working (and why the hell does the documentation seem so sketchy / insecure / incorrect).
Thanks a bunch!

Need a simple answer for simple question???

simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
help

The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.

Can't Save Custom Columns in Effects Tab?

In the now archived thread at
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5264320&#5264320>
Jerry Hoffman and D. Gilmore describe how to right-click on a column in the Browser (other than the Name column) and then choose the Save Column Layout option, which is exactly what I'm wanting to do. Weird thing though is when I try to do this for the custom column layout I've created under my Browser's Effects tab, that "Save Column Layout..." option is greyed out, along with most of the others as well.
Under the Project tab, I can Save and Load column layouts to my heart's content, but under the Effects tab, the only options which AREN'T greyed out when I right-click on a column heading (any column heading) are Hide Column (at the top) and Show Thumbnail (at the bottom). The other five in between (including Save Column Layout) are inaccessible.
Am using 6.0.2 with OS X 10.5.2. Any theories?
Bonus Question:
Is there any way to make a custom column layout in the Browser be part of a custom window arrangement, so that when I select one of my custom window arrangements FCP will load my preferred Browser column layout at the same time?
Thanks,
John Bertram
Toronto

Thanks to both Jerry and Doug for that confirmation -- albeit not the one I was hoping for!
And though it may come as a surprise, I did indeed create a custom layout of the Effects tab columns: with my Browser window over on a separate monitor, I like to have the Name column set wider (so the full names of all my Nattress FX are visible), then the Description column first (also set wider so I can actually see what the description says), and then my own Comments column immediately following that.
Despite the limited number of info columns in that Effects tab, it does seem odd that they would implement a Save Column Layout option in other Browser tabs, while then displaying it but not actually implementing it in this one tab.
So along with making custom column layouts part of custom window arrangements, I guess it's time I sent in yet another Feature Request to the friendly folks at FCP Feedback.
In any case, thanks again for the confirmation that at least my system wasn't doing something weird.

Javac : command not found ?? A simple question.

Hello.
I need to somehow tell linux where to find javac so that I don't need
to type in /usr/local/jdk1.4/javac HelloWorldApp.java every time I need
to run javac. I have seen how to do this in windows but I don't know how to do it in Linux
I know it's a simple question, I'm just new to Linux.
Your help is appreciated.

The answer depends on the shell you use.
The default on linux is bash, so do this: In your home directory there is a file with the name .bashrc. Commands in that file are performed every time you start the shell.
In that file, add the command "export PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.4/bin:$PATH". Then "source .bashrc" so that the change takes effect. You can verify that the directory has been added with "echo $PATH".
If you want to set the path for all users and not just yourself, make the change in the system startup files. This depends on your distro; the right file might be /etc/profile or /etc/profile.local or /etc/bashrc.

After Effects CS4 Exporting Question

I am creating several After Effects CS4 compositions that will be used in a Premier Pro CS4 project. Right now I am importing the AE compositions into Premiere with out exporting them first. It is real convenient to be able to click into PP and see the current changes take effect. My question is this, once I am done tweaking a composition should I be exporting it in another format or I is it ok to use the AE file as is? Am I suffering any quality loss by not going to quicktime or one of the other choices?
And in PP you hit enter to render. Is the AE equivalant hitting the space bar and playing the timeline? I see the green line above any changes but I didn't know if there is another step to maximize the quality of the finished product.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you suffered any quality loss, you'd know your settings are wrong. Most commonly people make a mess of field order, which of course you can neatly avoid by using DynamicLink such as you already do. The rest is more or less a matter of personal preference and how much performance is consumed by live rendering the AE compositions vs. how much juice your machine has. You wouldn't use that workflow on very complex projects where rendering a single frame can take up to several minutes, but for straight titles and color corrections it's okay.
R-Cole wrote:

The green line refers to frames stored in RAM, the blue ones to the disk cache, should you use it. Read the help files on how to generate RAM previews to populate both caches. After you have RAM-previewed each segement of the timeline and use the disk cache, it may be possible to get realtime spacebar playback, but there is no guarantee for that. After all, AE is primarily foicused on compositing, not RT editing. There's one caveat, however. The disk cache will only be used, if AE thinks it could not render the frames quick enough, so in your simple scenario it may never be used. And of course specific chnages will invalidate caches, so you's have to re-render. It really depends.

Win7 "Task Manager" has lost its header tabs

Somehow the task manager has lost the header tabs to move from applications to processes to network. It was there originally.
I also lose from time to time my volume control icon, and it doesn't become hidden, it just disappears completey. To change the volume I have to either go into the control panel/sound and then adjust the volume and leave that open if I need to turn it down. OR reboot and it sometimes comes back.
When I go to 'notification Icons" in control panel the icon and lettering for sound icon is not bold or high lighted but instead it is diminished. I have also seen a popup stating that modification will take affect when it (the sound) is activated as a pop up, but can't remember where I saw that happen.
Another question I have is...
Ihave only one machine, my C:drive has Vista ultimate, all important files are on E,F HD's, removable, or external drives. I downloaded Win7 and burned a disk.
I removed the 40Gig C: with Vista put a 250Gig drive in that location and installed Win7. So far so good and am very pleased with everything even with a few bugs.
Now I needed to go back to the Vista drive, so I removed the Win7 drive, reinstalled the 40Gig as C and received a prompt stating that ? win logon was not found. So I got the Vista DVD and did a repair which worked. If Win7 doesn't get an update to operate past August 1st and I go back to the 40Gig Vista drive will that happen again? AND where does that file get stored when you originally install? Does it go into the bios chip? Only becasue when I went back to the Win7 HD I got virtually the same prompt for that other drive.
I am in the process of building another machine, but because the computer I'm currently using is antiquated in comparrison and all new parts are required except for the chasis the cost is setting me back a bit. Maybe when I do get everything I'll be able to do a dual OS, but for now I have what I have. Computer is an old dual xeon with ata drives going on 7yrs old, but has been a work horse and needs to go to pasture.

In addition to what Techoutsider said, you can open the Notification Area Icons control panel item and you can try clicking the "Restore default icon behavior" link near the bottom of the window and see if that fixes the MIA volume control.
Your issue with swapping the hard drives may have something to do with the BIOS. Namely, it may not have correctly registered the replaced drive the first time you rebooted. You may want to try going in and making sure that it's where it should be in the pecking order. If it's expecting the 40 GB HDD, and it suddenly finds a 250 GB HDD, that could be the reason why you're having difficulty booting. Simply removing the drive and swapping it out should not cause it to become unbootable unless something changed within the BIOS settings. Given the drives you've got there aren't identical, there may be an issue with the BIOS not finding the correct drive. Make sure you update the BIOS settings by going in and then saving while exiting.
For the record, NO OS writes ANYTHING directly to the BIOS. The exceptions to this would be the utilities you get with your motherboard that allow you to tweak settings (overclock) your components - such as Nvidia's NTune applet. All Windows files get written to the hard drive. As long as you didn't change anything, it should be able to find everything as it was the last time the hard drive was plugged in.
According to rumors and such, there should be an RC build available almost any time now. There have been rumors to April 10th - or 1 week from this writing - and there have been rumors to some time in May.

Please help me, it stresses me, dont have much time left :( thx If you have use excel and know what's an excel wokbook and excel sheet, then you know the answer. If you Don't, then a workbook it's a sheet container. And sheets are each of the reports/queries that you have in a workbook.
And from the Discoverer manual, in the Glossary:
Workbook: "One or more sheets created and saved together. Each sheet is displayed in a sepa-rate tab in the workbook."
sheet : "A tab in the workbook window. A sheet displays the results of one or more queries."
Hope this helps

Browser/Effects tab problem

I accidentally closed my browser tab. I got it back, but now I can get the browser and the effects tabs to show up at the same time so I can easily switch back and forth.
I've tried trashing preferences, arrange selections but can't figure it out.
Is there a quick fix?
Thanks

Drag the effects tab next to the project tab so it snaps to it. Or trash your preferences. If that didn'd do it you didn't trash the prefs correctly.

Or I'm misunderstanding the question.

Reset effects tab arrangement

OK, kind of annoyed at this. Not sure why there's not a simple way to fix it as it was simple enough to screw up. In my effects tab, I was playing around and arranged the folders by name. Well, I don't want that. I want it like the default is with the Video transitions first, then filters, then audio transitions and filters. how can I reset it?

I clicked on the button that says, "arrange by name". that button is part of the default button list and is a part of the viewer window. I had the Effects tab selected when I clicked that button, and it arranged them that way.
