Editing / changing images in a m4v file in Motion 5 - how do you do that?

My boss has given me a m4v file so I can adapt some of the images used. He used Motion 5 which I now have and chose a pre-set template but the 'layers' seem to go on top the video not change / edit the original file?

No, for sure:
a  m4v is no Motion-project-file, containing all elements, groups and layers separately.
It's a 'consolidated', solid video, which indeed  allows only to apply 'on top' changes. (or 'cuts')
If you want to edit the 'layers', you need the original project.motn file ..

  • When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files or versions should I have in my database of images?

    When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files should I have in my Library?  I start with a RAW file or a tiff scan from film. I label that "A" as the archived file. I make a virtual copy to work on in the Develop module. When I am done, I save a file as a Print file with dimensions of the print.  Since Lightroom is non-destructive, do I need to save any other versions?  For instance, in Photoshop since the crop is destructive,
    I edit an uncropped version and do the crop when I am working on the Print version.  What should I have for the most flexibility over time in Lightroom? 
    I use Lightroom CC on a IMAC desktop.  My photos are on a separate hard drive and are also backed up offline.  Im running OSX10.9.4.

    You don't need to make a virtual copy before you edit the photo (this is optional, but most people don't bother as its extra work with little or no benefit). EXCEPTION: If you are doing multiple crops of the image, you would need virtual copies in that case, created after all other editing is completed.
    You can't "save" from Lightroom, you can "export". (It's a terminology thing) You would need to export a photo at the desired dimensions for printing, but there's no need to retain this exported photo, you can consider it temporary and delete it once the print has been made, knowing that you can always re-create it exactly from Lightroom if you need it.
    So to answer the question in your title, all you need to retain on your hard disk is your original image (and in the EXCEPTION case where you have multiple crops of the image, you would retain the multiple virtual copies in Lightroom).

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • I need to covert an ACSM file to adobe how can I do that

    I need to covert an ACSM file to a PDF file please help

    Unfortunately the answer you got from Michael is incorrect.
    .ascm files are created when you start the downloading process from a
    website - a publisher, distributor, author or library.  .ascm files are not
    ebooks.  They are a pointer or 'tag file' that tells Adobe Digital Editions
    (ADE) where to find the ebook text plus some other information ADE needs to
    know in order to download the ebook to your computer.
    Let me assume that you tried to download an ebook (in .pdf format?) and all
    you got was this .ascm file.  What happened was that the place from which
    you downloaded that ebook didn't tell ADE on your computer to go and get
    the ebook - it just dropped this 'tag file' on your computer.  What you can
    do now is to find that file and tell your computer to open it with ADE.  If
    you're using Windows, you can do this by finding the file using a utility
    program, such as Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer), and then
    right-clicking on the fine name.  The drop-down menu will give you a choice
    'Open With', and you should move your cursor to that entry.  A list of
    programs will be displayed.  Windows might be smart enough to know that
    this format is opened with ADE and give you that choice.  If it doesn't,
    then pick 'Adobe Digital Editions' and it will go and find the ebook and
    open it for you.
    Here's a reference article:

  • Changing images' formats in .PSD files.

    How can I change these without copying single images to new files, changing there and copying back?
    e.g. I've pasted some large tiffs into one .psd and want to convert them to jpgs, keeping the rest of my .psd as it is.

    Most image formats are disc-based, meaning that the format change takes place while saving the file. If you have a .psd and want a jpeg, SAVE IT as a jpeg, etc. -- This has advantages: there is potentially a lot more information in the psd file than the jpeg, so it is wise to retain the psd, as well as the jpeg you need in the moment.

    Hello
    We are currently having a beta for Measurement Studio. This is a public beta where we let customers evaluate beta software versions of the next release of Measurement Studio. If you can go to the beta site ( http://ni.com/beta ) and sign up for the Measurement Studio beta, you can evaluate this behavior in the newer CWGraph control and see if it provides you the desired behavior.
    The main reason you are seeing problems like this is that the ControlImage function selects 600 dpi to draw the image out, since this is a standard number that works with most printers.The 7.1 controls will now provide a ControlImageEx function that lets you select the dpi for the image. The standard for most screens is 96 dpi.
    Please email the beta coo
    rdinator( [email protected] ) once you have signed up.

  • I have an iPhoto event on my computer that I have photo-edited, named, key-worded, and place and dated. How to I transfer that event to another computer in a way that includes ALL the information?

    I have iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2. I have an event in the Library whose photos have all been edited, faces named, keywords added, and place and dated. How do I transfer the event intact (with ALL the editing, names, dates, places, etc) to another computer? Exporting does not include all the information (no dates or face names), nor does burning a DVD (it shows the location pinned on the map, but doesn't write out the name of the place).

    File -> Export:
    Kind: Jpeg
    Check the boxes at Include...
    This will get everything you mention except the Faces data. There is no way to share that on any system.
    Note that this information including the dates is written to the IPTC and Exif metadata. So you'll need an app that understands these things as the Finder doesn't - a Photo app for insstance.
    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider  jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export. However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.
