Topic: Loops
In this tutorial, the time-stretching capabilities of Sony’s ACID Pro 6 will be used to dramatically alter how several ACIDized loops behave in a song. Two loops will be made to play in double time, and one loop will play in half time, all without changing the song’s overall tempo.

In Illustrator CS2, standard radial gradient fills won’t automatically follow the edges of an object. They’ll generally be circular and clipped by the bounding box of the object, rather than conformed to the object itself. However, with oval-shaped objects, there’s a little trick to get the gradient to follow the edges of the object, rather than appearing completely circular and clipped by the bounding box.

This script for generating line charts in After Effects is a little rough around the edges, but I wanted to get it out there so I can get some feedback and feature requests from readers. The script works nicely for data with a linear relationship, but no attempt is made to fit data that would be better represented by a log scale.

Final Cut Pro 5.1.1 resolves an issue with imported footage using the Import Panasonic P2 feature and 720p/24PN footage that can result in duplicate frames in rendered sequences.
The issue has been resolved for media imported directly into Final Cut Pro 5.1.1 but can still occur in Final Cut Pro 5.1.1 if the project contains 720p/24pn P2 media that was imported using an earlier version of Final Cut Pro 5.
The Knowledge Base article outlines two solutions: re-importing if the media is still available, or by using a batch export and importing the exported files.

Topic: Menu Design
You can reuse menus you create in DVD Studio Pro by duplicating them (for reuse within a single project), saving item descriptions (for reuse on a separate project) or storing the menu as a template (for reuse on multiple projects across multiple machines, if desired).
