Size of images to be used for backgrounds

I would like to create backgrounds in Adobe Illustrator that I will later composite myself in front of after being imported into FCP. I plan to shoot 720p24n.
The video after being edited will be down converted to h.264 for the web.
1. What size should I make these images in Illustrator? Should they be larger than needed? Looking for any suggestions.
Thanks.

Unless you are going to pan/zoom the images, make them the size of the video. If Illustrator has video templates, use the one that matches your video format/codec. If they don't, make it 1280x720 (in square pixels) which FCP will fit into whatever codec of HD 720 you are using.
If you are planning moves, make the image large enough so that you never have less than 1 image pixel for each video pixel

    I am usin awt and I want to put an image from my HD as background instead typical colours. How can I do this?

    Ah. This one is mine. You can try making a Frame anonymus class and overriding paint(). Do you know how to get your picture?

  • HT1386 Photos stop synch at one I used for background.  Now it won't synch photos at all.

    My phone is full and I need to clean photos from its memory.  When I plug it into my mac mini, the download goes OK, then slows, then stops at the picture I was using for wall paper on the phone.  It won't go beyond that file and none of the options seem to work.  The phone kinda goes into pinwheel.
    I cant seem to find an option to just download the first 200 files so I can use my camera again.

    Well, I figured out how to get selected photos off the iPhone.  Now I'm wondering about the one that was stopping the process.

  • Why does a picture used for background "zoom" when applied

    It frusterates me to no end when you tak a picture and apply it to your background or lock screen and its zooms on it !!! not portraing the actual pic size ~!!!

  • What is the best image format to use for importing images into a Pages document?

    Image quality is good in photoshop. I am currenlty saving as .tiff at 300 dpi but when I import the image in the resolution diminishes radically.

    I like to use .png or .pdf.

  • Help with partitioning ext firewire drive to use for storage/image backups

    I just ordered a 2tb external hard drive.  Want to put at least 1tb of the space for normal access file storage and use between 500gb and 750gb (probably the latter if I upgrade internal drive) for image clones to use for emergency boots.  Software maybe Super Duper?  Anyway, will get pre-formatted drive tomorrow and need to make it happen quick.
    Would I delete whatever partition comes on it and put 2 new ones on?  One for file storage and one for clone images?  Or can I even just use one big 2tb partition?  Want to make regular clone images for emergency booting and expand my file storage at same time.  Probably use something lIke Carbon Copy Cloner(?) or Super Duper for images and maybe do some Time Machine backups?

    Yes, you can do it that way. Again, it is recommended that TM have its own partition.
    It sounds like you have two 2TB HDs. Why not put three partitions on one, put the 750GB of data on one partition, and you have two more partitions to clone to (I would alternate each time).
    Then you have the other 2TB HD for TM. It's recommended that you have a volume at least double the size of the amount of data you're backing up (3x or more would be even better), so that would be great.
    Obviously you can do what you want, but starting out from the beginning like you are, why not do it "right?" It's the "foundation," and the better that is, the better luck you're likely to have with the structure built on top of it (your backups).

  • Image file used for "Image Fill"

    Hi,
    In the "Road Trip" iWeb template there is a wood background.
    I want to create a square shape and use "image fill" to make
    it look like wood. Where do I find the image they are using
    for this fill?

    Control-Click on the IWeb application to Show Package Contents. Then go to Contents/Resources/Shared. In that folder, again Control-Click and Show Package Contents for any of the Road Trip webtemplate packages. That's where you'll find background.jpg.

  • Location for images used for login identity?

    Where are the images that are used for a user at the login screen? I used a picture for a user that I no longer have and I would like to retrieve it, though I can not figure out where it is stored within Tiger. It does not seem to be a picture that I have in my iPhoto library, so I am guessing Tiger copies the image I selected to another location?
    Thanks!!!

    Look in the folder /Library/Caches/ on your hard disk for this image; if it is here, it should have a name along the lines of com.apple.user501pictureCache.tiff.

  • For highest photo quality what should ppi be? in photoshop should I "Sharpen Edges" as in use for web?

    For highest photo quality what should ppi be to look good in Retina?  In photoshop should I use "Sharpen Edges" as I would for in use for web?

    There are about 1 trillion  threads and replies about the size of images to be used and accepted when using iBA.
    Obvioulsy you have not taken time to search the forum  before asking your question, nor do you seem to have downloaded the iBA asset guide.
    I suggest you go to Apples iPad page on the store and check the screen dimentions/ resolution for a non mini  iPad retina. DPI at 72 or above is your choice.
    I also suggest before setting out on a book project, you take time to read the forum and download the PDFs which are available.
    A KT states in effect - first do your own home work before starting out asking questions and that way you will avoid the proverbial self inflicted wounds - which will follow because  it seems you have not yet actually spent time learning about iBA or read the  help files.
    This forum will gladly spend time and effort to help folk... but most dont  really have time to continually  givie answers which already exist on the forum.

  • Date and time for background job

    Hi,
    I am creating a program with out selection screen . This program runs based on date and time . so I need to create a table
    with date and time fileds.
    Program runs based on FROM DATE FROM TIME  TO DATE  TO TIME....... FROM DATE and FROM TIME  will get it from ztable and TO DATE & TO TIME values as SY-DATUM & SY-UZEIT. In the end I will update sy-datum and sy-uzeit values in the custom table to get the values ( Use it for from date from time ) for next run of the program.
    This program is mainly used for background job so how do we get the values of from date and from time for the first run of the program ? how do we update the latest date and time details by deleting old date and time details.
    Thanks ,
    Vinay.
    Edited by: Vinay parakala on Apr 22, 2010 9:18 AM

    First of all, I'll suggest to maintain TVARVC instead of doing it in custom table unless you need a complete log.
    As per my understanding, you are trying to fetch some records based on the time period(Delta loads).
    So, you will do an initial run to load the complete data then you will run it for time periods. For example,
    1st Load- 01/01/1991(earliest date possible) - today's date say 03/22/2010
    2nd load- 03/22/2010 - today's date
    so on............
    You have to move the to date values to from date values and to date value needs to be updated by the latest one for each load.
    Do you have any dependency on background job? Please let me know if my understanding is correct or specify your requirement in detail.

  • Using a background image for the buttons in spry menu

    Hi All,
    Going nuts here.
    I'm using the vertical spry menu widget w DW CS3 and trying
    to alter the css style sheet, so that I can use a li class for each
    of the 14 links on this page, with an upstate and a hover state
    only. (the focus, and hover while down will be the same as the
    others, to keep it simple and not too distracting)
    The page is here that I will be replacing the entire
    background image in sidebar1 and sidebar2 with a custom spry menu
    with the 14 li classes for 2 seperate menus:
    http://audibleimagesav.com/blank_doc.html
    Has anyone used a background image in place of just using
    bkgrd colors and borders for the spry menu ?
    I am aware of the attributes that the help docs suggest that
    need to be altered as listed here :
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/1.4/help.html?content=WS0BB04E11-1BE3-4a67-BC94-BE7DA 93A0159.html
    I have been working on just an experimental page, that is now
    hacked up, however if you want to see that it is here with only the
    first list item coded:
    http://audibleimagesav.com/site%20theme%20ideas/sprymenu_exp.html
    The spry css menu widget for that page is here:
    http://audibleimagesav.com/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css
    So in short, has anyone done a bkgrd image for the main menu
    (not submenu) in a spry widget?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Image for background

    I have an image now that I want to use for a background on
    all of my WebPages. The image size is 2912x 4368 and I have made it
    1024x1536. On the page it looks good but what happens is the image
    repeats itself twice for width and length. I want it to only stay
    as one image no matter what resolution it is viewed as and not
    repeat the image for either length or width. Plus not look
    stretched or distorted.
    I am using Dream Weaver MX version 6 and also have Adobe PS
    CS2, any questions just ask.
    How do I achieve this?
    Thanks

    Why so huge? What is the weight of that monster?
    > I want it to only stay as one image no matter what
    resolution
    This is not a resolution issue. It's a browser window size
    issue (and
    always has been). When you say "stay as one image", do you
    mean "not tile",
    or do you mean "fill the entire width and height"? If the
    latter, then you
    cannot do that with a background image. Background images
    tile, they don't
    stretch. You can prevent the tiling with a little CSS -
    body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }

  • System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

    Greetings    
                                        - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
    server -
    Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
    partition on each source hard drive is not included.
    Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
    Server A good.
    Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
    disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
    At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
    "The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
    The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
    Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
    Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
    Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
    The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
    Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
    Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
    Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
    Server A  SRP 100MB  C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Server B  SRP 100MB  C: 102GB  on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/e855ee43-186d-4200-a032-23d214d3d524      Some people report success after diskpart clean, but not us.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/31595afd-396f-4084-b5fc-f80b6f40dbeb
    "If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring."  Doesnt apply here.
    http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
    for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
    Thank you so much.

    Hello,
    1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
    You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
    2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
    3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
    correct order in the hardware.
    4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
    bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline. 
    5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
    should be present with minimum size requirement.
    6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

  • Can you change the units used for size and position in layout editor?

    Hello,
    In Aperture 3.4, does anyone know if you can change the units used for size and position in layout editor?  The page is set in inches, but the image size and position are given in centimetres and I would prefer to work all in inches to create custom layouts.  I can't see any way to change this.  If anyone knows how it would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

    Aperture uses the unit settings defined in the System Preferences.  Set the "Measurement Units" in the "Region" tab of the "Language & Text" preferences to "US"; the Aperture will display the Size & Position in inches, if it is the "Book" layout manager you are asking about.
    Merry Christmas!
