Brilliant. Many thanks.

An alternative approach is Result = Selection.Find.HitHighlight("text2find", wdColorYellow, , False) which highlights all instances in the document, but I have yet to get the new searchg pane to open programmatiucally.

Thanks for that. CTL-F or the Find command from the Editing Group in Word 2010 brings up the new dialogue, which won't record into a macro. Replace brings up the old macro. Your code seems to work fine, even if there is no selection - which is how I want to use it. Thank you. Pity the new...

I'm OK with Excel VBA, but haven't tried Word VBA recently. Using Office 2010 Pro under Win7 x64. I want to set up a macro to search a document for a specific (constant) word. I know how to do this manually and I know how to link a macro to a button on the Quick Access toolbar. My problem is...

It sounds like your source material is much larger than the frame size for your timeline. I assume you are using one of the Premiere Pro versions. Scale to Frame Size (with variations in the exact words) is a tick box in General Preferences. When ticked, it will fit material to the frame size...

You can use Interpret Footage under the file menu in Premiere Pro to change the replay rate without affecting individual frames. If you keep the original replay speed for audio sync but change the frame rate, you will inevitably get interpolated frames whatever software you use.

This going to be something of a fiddle. Place the two clips one above the other on a Premiere Pro CS4 timeline. Apply the Strobe effect to the top clip with the duration half of the period and the strobe set to make the layer transparent. This will cause the lower layer to appear half the...

You don't say what format of video you are using. If it is DV, you might want to look at using Scenalyzer Live (www.scanlyzer.com) to do the timelapse capture since it includes an onion-skinning facility. Scenalyzer also allows easy capture of still frames, so you could opt to generate a...

Perhaps not strictly accurate: put 'wmv on mac' into Google and find http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx

Might be worth trying Real Player (free version) which includes an option to download many types of streaming media.

I may not have a fine arts degree - mine's in maths and computing - but I do know Premiere etc quite well. I visit now and again.

I used to make and edit documentaries as a semi-professional and spent some years teaching the UK amateur movie organisation (www.theiac.org.uk) how to use NLE in the early days. Nowadays I seem to do more editing for other people than my own productions, but video work is only a small...

It might be easier to use a combination of the strobe effect and lens flare effect on a static image to create an artificial light under your own control.

Well, it the rotation of the light takes 2 seconds and you choose to speed up such that you only take one frame every two seconds, then the rotation will appear to be stopped. The benefit of time remapping is mostly related to gradual changes of speed, which won't apply in your case if you want...

You will need to do some math to ensure that your frame rate doesn't result in an interval that matches the rotation period of the light. Not sure exactly what effect you are trying to achieve. If you want the light at normal speed but the rest of the day rushing by, you could film the light...
