Setting the opacity of the mask. Not the pixels, the MASK.

Hello

I use After Effects CS3.

I have a shape layer with a mask, do what I want it to do, except that I don't want to mask completely the masked area blackout curtains. Say, only 80%, while the masked area would show through the mask to 20%, while the unmasked area is completely visible.

For example, imagine a pizza, with a slice of visible and the other seven being visible at 20%.

The opacity of the mask only changes the opacity of the visible pixels, which seems rather ridiculous because I can change that with its own opacity controls.

Thanks for any help you can give.

> For example, imagine a pizza with a slice of visible and the other seven being visible at 20%.

Have two masks on your layer. Have a mask in the form of a single slice and the other mask covering the rest of the pizza. The value of opacity for each individually.

> The opacity of the mask only changes the opacity of the visible pixels, which seems rather ridiculous because I can change that with its own opacity controls.

It is not ridiculous, for the reason has demonstrated with the solution I provided: you can have several masks, each with individual settings for the opacity of the pixels not transparent that they define.

  • OSB - how to set the mask of different file for the FTP traffic?

    Hi all

    I use transport FTP OSB to watch a folder (on remote FTP server).
    For file mask, we can use several types?

    In my case, I want to ask all the files that has the choice of the following file name extension:
    1 *. ABC
    2 *. ABc
    3 *. AbC
    4 *. ABC
    5 *.abc
    6 *.aBc
    7 *.abC
    8 *.aBC

    In other words, any file ends with abc (case doesn't matter).

    Can I set different types of file mask? How?
    I tried to put all 8 masks, separated by ',' and also tried ';
    But failed.

    Or any expression , can I use the file mask?

    I tried to put all 8 masks, separated by ',' and also tried '; But failed.

    A proxy may have only one mask file. You cannot specify more than one file in a single service mask.

    Can I set different types of file mask? How?

    Not in a single proxy service. You must either create a proxy with file mask *. * (star.star) to read all the files in the directory, or you must create the number of proxies with each having a specific file mask.

    Or any expression, can I use the file mask?

    Only the wildcard characters * and? are allowed in the file mask. Regular expressions are not supported.

    Can you let us know more about your use case so that we suggest a good solution? Will be your files with another extension of file system process differently or what all the file extension is treated in the same way? Which application writes files being read by OSB and cann't, it controls the naming of files?

  • I can not change / set the smtp password.

    T - bird 24.5.0 running. On Ubuntu 10.04. There seems to be no way to change/set the password. Here is an overview of the screen indicating a change of account: http://k4gvo.com/images/smtp.png I don't see a way to set/change the password and an exhaustive search of the other menus, including the configuration editor has not helped. For some reason, probably because of an automatic update, he ceased to send emails. I manually installed 24 to see if that helped, but it didn't. This profile/account is probably 5 or more years so there is probably something in the profile that is the pipe upwards. I tried to add a new e-mail account so I could put the server by default to it but it won't let me. He went through all the motions, but when I look in the list of accounts, it isn't here.

    I created a new user account on the system and it I would like to create a usable smtp profile without change it however.

    I'd start on if I can save emails, however when I tried to copy the Mail / directories < account > to another user to test, they never came.

    Thank you
    Jim.

  • Not possible to set the HDMI output as default screen on Qosmio G30

    It is not possible to set the HDMI output as default screen! This works only with VGA output. There is no option in the BIOS. According to support, Toshiba will plan any action for this useful feature.

    I use an external TFT with HDMI adapter DVI Cable and I want to have as default screen TFT. With VGA, it will work without problems.
    Any solution?

    Best regards
    Nicolas

    Hi Nicolas

    Very interesting question! In my view, HDMI port is to be used with the HD ready LCD TVs or plasma. Combination of connection HDMI and HD DVD movies, you can really have a HD on your TV picture quality.

    As you know the port is a standard VGA port to connect external displays. The image quality is very good and, in my opinion, you should not use HDMI port for the same. Do you perhaps the best image quality?

    Cancel the deployment of will stop the configuration and mark idle.

    If you restart the RT target by HW button or through the channel "System of command channels", while the configuration is active, it will start the Setup again after the reboot.

  • Is it possible to set the time on a device in real time so that the time will persist when the device is not powered?

    It seems that you can not set the time on a device sbRIO (9606) and have always the exact time when the card is powered after not being fed for a while.  I have a product which will be independent (not connected to a network) when it is supplied by the customer.  I would like to collect data in a datalog and would like to put a timestamp somewhere so that I can understand when these data were collected.  If I can't get an exact date/time, then the next best solution would be to set up my datalogs so that I can at least understand the exact order in which they were collected.  (I think I can understand it without much problem)    Any suggestions as to best practices?

    Hey John,

    Without connected VBat time will not be preserved between periods of closure. Unfortunately for the 9605 and 9606 we have not a way to date the connector 9693 VBat.

    How much sbRIOs you plan to deploy with your system?  9623 and 9626 have a compartment for the RTC. If you haven't bought your sbRIOs already you could focus on the options of the form always match.

    If it is necessary to have retention time between stops, we would need to understand the extent of your application more.

  • Programmatically set the size of a table control (not the number of col and lines)

    Hi all

    I am trying to create a little VI, in which the user selects the number of columns and rows in a table, and after clicking on a button 'OK', the table control is displayed in the control panel (to be filled in by the user). To do this, I use the nodes property to the number of columns and lines. I have no problem with that.

    However, I want to "limit" the size of the control table (control of himself, not the dimensions of the table) and make use of vertical and horizontal table, the scroll bars. I want to avoid it is that passes type 100 user and 100 lines and appears a huge table control.

    I could tho this by using an array instead of an array, via the node property "size", but I would use an insead table a table.

    Thank you very much

    Daniel

    With a table control, you cannot set the display size to be anything other than a multiple of a complete cell.

    If you are limited to a number of lines and columns.  If you want to resize with more control you also need to resize the control within the Bay, accessible via the property 'picture Element '.

    Another option (but seems huge exaggerated) is to place your table in a secondary and set the size of the secondary to the size you need and enable scrollbars for her.  It is not an option that I would choose but if it helps...

    Have it, your description of your user interface sounds not very intuitive.  How the user knows at any time exactly what cell they access if they have to scroll backwards?

  • The phrase after "Set Station models overall" step could not be evaluated.

    When you run a TestStand sequence, I get the following error message:

    The phrase after "Set Station models overall" step could not be evaluated.

    Types of variable or a property do not match or are not compatible.

    Error code:-17321; Types of variable or a property do not match or are not compatible.

    Although I do not understand the above said, the root cause of fixing is a little something else.

    I'll explain the scenario.  The code is developed in TS4.1.0, although this should be irrelevant.

    I inherited a project of TestStand that call LabVIEW modules.  The original sequence works very well on the test pc (which is installed remotely).  Local and remote computer share the same StationGlobals.ini.

    This is why it is strange...  If I use the old or the new code, I get the error message on the local PC.  I was assuming that by using the same StationGlobals.ini would have fixed that, but it didn't.

    When I run the old code on the remote PC, I do not get this message, but I understand with the new code.  I don't remember changing the code that hit the StationGlobals.  My aim is to fix on both machines (at least one remote).

    It is the expression he doesn't like:

    StationGlobals.Models = Locals.Models,

    However, this same expression is in the original code.  The only thing that has changed is the addition of a new model number in the Locals.Models.newNumber.  I suspect that this contributes to the error.  But why it give me an error when I run the local original sequence?  Maybe I should try running it again...

    In both cases, suggestions to overcome the error?

    Thank you.

    RayR

    Please ignore the post.

    I found the problem...  There was a disconnect with the number of models.  Easy fix.  It's all good.

    For anyone else that might fall on this thread for the same reason, here is an explanation.

    I added a new model with its variants to the Locals.Models list.  In total, he had 16 additions to the list.

    I also added to the StationGlobals.  Which means that my StationGlobals is no longer equal that on the remote PC.

    Where the error came, is there a model missing in the StationGlobals, so the size (number of models) does not match that of the local population.

    Surveillance at sea listed models a slight (I won't even count them).  Now fixed.

    ... and embarrassed...

    I can thus give me an "acceptable Solution".

  • Problems with the DC Power supply QL 355TP: I can not set the tension level

    Hello

    I'm trying to control a power supply DC via GPIB. The power supply being used is the QL355TP of society Thurlby Thandar Instruments (TTi). There are no drivers of OR to control the instruments, then I need to download and install the driver from the website of TTi: the package I installed is as follows:

    "QL - P power supplies, (including QL Series II) series pilot National instruments (Labview and CVI)"

    and I also installed the following:

    "QL - P power supplies (including QL Series II) series, IVI driver"

    So, my problem is that when I try to use the sample application of the driver 'Volts.vi DC Ouput'; defines a specific level voltage, does not work properly. The application gives no error, but it is not set the specific level voltage. However, other functions work properly, as the measure or activate the output. I tried a lot of things, but I don't know why it does not work.

    I enclose the block diagram of the application and the front panel:

    I must say that I barely control instruments using Labview and is possible that this problem would be because I did not consider things basic and mandatory.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    p.s. Try to replace the decimal comma to period. It is possible that the driver does not correctly handle the comma.

    Hello jerrylumpe

    1. If you use an old mouse, try to clean it.

    2. you can have a running process in the background that keeps XP thinking that he is busy and so the screen standby does not start.
    Go to msconfig and uncheck everything you don't need, then see if the screensaver will kick in.

    Start/run and type
    Msconfig
    Ok

    Startup tab
    Keep the page open then click on the link below. It will tell you what are all the entries and see if you can disable them or not

    Try this too

    It could be that something is resetting the timer. For example, it does take much vibration to move the mouse a little, and which will reset the timer to zero. Something like that would be possible? Or a pet that walks on the keyboard?

  • Windows 7 sees my second monitor as "generic non - PnP" and will not let me set the correct resolution

    Hello

    I just installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a new hard drive on my Dell Studio 540. The PC has a graphics card ATI Radeon HD 3450 and has a Samsung 226bw 22 "monitor on the digital output. This works very well, and has the resolution of 1650 x 4050. When I am running Vista (on the previous hard drive), I got a monitor flat 14 "old on the other out, and it worked fine (although at a lower resolution).

    I added a monitor AOC F22s + on the other output, expecting to be able to put this to the recommended 1920 x 1080 resolution. Unfortunately, Windows has developed the driver for this monitor "Generic non - PnP" and will not let me set the correct resolution. To the maximum it will allow is 1600 x 1200, (as well as all other resolutions it allows) do not use the monitor at maximum capacity, which is the ratio of evil anyway, so the display seems tense.

    I run Windows Update, so have the latest drivers. I tried to install the other drivers, but nothing helped.

    I tried to unplug the Samsung monitor and restart the PC, so that the AOC, one was the only monitor it and he always had as 'Generic non - PnP' with the wrong resolution.

    Someone at - it ideas? I'm at my wits end. AOC support did not understand and could only suggest that the monitor was faulty, but the place where I bought it insist that it works very well and so no Exchange or get a refund (no restocking fee, which is a RIP-OFF).

    I really want to use both screens and would appreciate greatly any help that anyone can give. I hope I gave enough information. If I didn't, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance,

    Alan

    PROBLEM SOLVED!

    It turned out that my VGA cable was wrong and that it was not send the right signal to the computer. The screen worked fine with a VGA monitor, but the PC has not said that the new monitor is a PnP I tried a different cable and it worked fine.

    Thanks again to all who have suggested things.
