Steve Steve Grisetti vs Bill Hunt & "Classroom in a Book" - cognitie dissonance?

   Bill Hunt suggested that I size my animations, created in Photoshop and ImageReady, to 1920 x 1080 pixels at 72-dpi for optimal viewing on a 24" widescreen monitor. Ditto both Classroom in a Book and Premiere Elements itself, as regards the intake from my video camera.
   Steve Grisetti on the other hand gives a size of 1000 x 750 as a "standard definition video" and recommends a size of 2000 x 1500 for a still of a map that is to be zoomed in and out of, and to slide across the viewing frame.
   This is what's called "cognitive dissonance."
   Anyone have a clarification of this?

Now, it does not take all that many 4096 x 4096 pixel Images, before most computers will "run out of gas," and especially if it is running a 32-bit OS. Because of that, I would limit the use of very large Still Images, even if the program CAN Import them.

Now we are beginning to agree.
I put 40 full size DNGs and 10 AVCHD 1080p60 video files into a recent project. The DNGs are 5460 x 3068 and 80 MB each out of an HDR process. PrE11 didn't flinch -- not even a little. My laptop does have an i7, 16 GB of RAM, 64 bit Win 7 and a SSD. I'm sure the project would choke a Window XP vintage machine. But, the weak spot is the machine, NOT PrE11.
Bill, you have new laptop. Try dragging 50 or a 100 full sized RAW photos into fresh PrE11 and see how it does. Make sure the project settings are forced at AVCHD 1080p60. Add some transitions and put some Pan & Zoom on them. I'll bet a bottle of Washington wine for (next winter's consumption in AZ) that you will find it works ver well.
My point in several threads over the last several months is that you should not write that photos need to be re-sized. Instead you an Mr. Grissetti should consider writing, "Depending on the strength of your computer, you may find resizing will improve the performance of PrE11. Strong computers may show no change in performance from resizing of photos and in may not be at all necessary."
As a side note, if you have not done it, try a Help > Update check. If you have a fresh install you will probably have ACR 7.1. No, I don't now how to check what it is. But, if you do the update, ACR 7.4 will install. There is something under the hood that uses ACR and it is not video clips! It appears to me that Adobe has gradually turned PrE into an NLE that will make slide shows and put them into MP4s that play well on YouTube and Vimeo.
Let me know if I need to bring that bottle of wine.

Bill Hunt's custom 64-bit laptop

In another thread, moderator Bill Hunt mentioned he was waiting for the delivery of a 64 bit laptop he has custom ordered. He added he would be putting PrE11 on it.
Bill, if you read this, would you give some detail on what you ordered and how it relates to PrE11 performance?
Thanks.
Bill

Thanks. I had not heard of ADK.
A couple months ago I was looking at HP Laptop Workstations and Macbook Pros. I ran into an ASUS i7 "gamer" at B&H with 17 inch screen, a SSD, HDD, a Nvidia card, 16 GB ram, four USB 3.0 ports and even a Blu-Ray burner. I bought it with Windows 7.
It works very well. At your suggestions in other posts, I tried spreading the workload across drives. It seems to perform best with everthing in one folder for each project on the SSD.
I can't tell if the Nvidia card does me much good with PrE. And I don't know if it is a supported card if I upgrade to Pr Pro. Since I probably won't spend that much money on an NLE it won't matter.

Premiere 5 classroom in a book compatibility with Premiere 5.5 demo?

Newby here,
I have Premiere 5.5 demo and am working with a newly purchased Premiere 5.0 "classroom in a book" with DVD lessons. Version 5.0 demo does not appear to be available on the Adobe site for download. I find that when I try and open lesson 1 that it takes me to the folder where I have the lessons on my hard disk, I click on the file and get a message 'file format not supported'. I hit the cancel button in Windows and the file opens up in Premiere 5.5 anyway, but with no pics in the editing windows - as per whats in the manual. So is there a known incompatibility between these two versions or am I doing something else wrong? Thanks for your attention.

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below
For PC http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
For Mac http://mediainfo.massanti.com/
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line
above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project
Also, if that file ends in MOV you need to have Quicktime installed

CS5 Classroom in a Book Delayed AGAIN

Amazon just sent me a notice that Premiere Pro CS5 Classroom in a Book is delayed again
The new "possible" date is somewhere between Sept 8th to the 14th
I will HOPE this means that the author(s) are working with Adobe to document the latest program features

You know, Curt needs to give up any hope a "real life," and get busy!!! He has buyers clamoring.

PS - it's probably all completely written, and Adobe Press is the holdup here. At least that's my guess.

How do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book

how do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book?

Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

Classroom in a Book Examples Do Not Work.

I am working through the Dreamweaver CS4 Classroom in a Book, while working on a MacPro OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard.
Many examples do not function as advertised. This is one example:
On page 114, the user is asked to insert a Spry menu into the page. When this is done the properties panel should appear, in which the Text, Links, Titles and so on can be entered. On my system the properties panel does not appear as it should. Instead, the properties panel for HTML and CSS remains present. It is not possible to enter the attributes as intended in the lesson. I can enter them manually into the markup, but since this will not result in correctly generated script (it is generated Javascript) it is pointless to do this. The failure of the Dreamweaver GUI makes it impossible to proceed with the lesson.
I tried to repair this situation be deleting the files and copying them anew from the CD ROM. then started again. The error was repeated.
My file setup is slightly different from the default. I always make an extra directory for the HTML files, named html
    ~/username/Documents/DW CIB/html/
    ~/username/Documents/DW CIB/css/
    ~/username/Documents/DW CIB/images/
    ~/username/Documents/DW CIB/js/
    ~/username/Documents/DW CIB/SpryAssets/
      and so on.
But this is not the problem, as the system is seeing this. For example, the links inserted to the pages are automatically correct:
   <link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Is there an issue here with Mac and Snow Leopard? Or are more people having these problems? Or am I missing something here?

I have a reason for using a different directory structure. I like to see all the .html files in alphabetic order, and not interrupted by the directories containing images, scripts and other resources. These directories are particularly disturbing if they are open.
You have two options:
Buy a Windows computer. Windows organizes files and folders that way by default.
On your Mac, expand the Files panel so you can see the Type column header. Click Type, and the files will be reorganized the way you prefer.
I put only the index.html in the site root, with a redirect on it to home.html in the lower directory, so that only one .html file is in the default root directory of the site. Now I know the Dreamweaver will not function correctly when I do this.
I think this is not good. I recommend that Adobe augment the system to operate correctly for any file structure built by the user.
Dreamweaver does operate correctly for any file structure, but it can't detect a redirect.

Problem with Classroom in a book

I have been working through the lessons in Adobe Premier Elements 11 Classroom in a book and am having a problem with Lesson 6 "Creating a Picture-in-Picture overlay. the lesson comes with Greenscreen.mov file to be used in the lesson but when I try to use it I get the error message in a pop up "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. As this is the file downloaded from the CD that came with the book and can't understand why I am having a problem using it.

Ermananda
It appears that my first impression of your situation was correct, that is, another Classroom in a Book corrupt/damaged lesson file as confirmed by nealeh's detailed post numbered 5.
You may want to bookmark this thread and the link to the publisher since you may run into other corrupt/damaged files are you proceed through the book's lessons.
Regarding what you wrote
As a further note I went on to lesson 7 creating transitions. You start by openning Lesson07_Start_Win.prel. It tells me to open the file Lesson07_Movie.mov in the project assets panel and to open and play it in the preview window. When I do that the greenscreen.mov that I could not open in lesson 6 appears to be running in the preview mode but maybe that is because the whold clip is done together as a completed mov file??
That might be explained by nealeh's report that the greenscreen.mov exists in more than one place.
The following is the link to the Premiere Elements 12 Help PDF. You might want to cross check with it as you go through your book's lessons.
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/premiere-elements_reference.pdf
Give the keyframing another look. If problems with the concept and its working through, please let us know and we can provide some step by step information on that.
Glad for the opportunity to be of assistance. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need any help with your Premiere Elements workflows.
Thanks.

Hi, I am also experiencing the same issue. The code that's inserted in frame 1 (actions) appears as follows:
stop();
gabelloffel_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant1);
function restaurant1(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label1");
garygari_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant2);
function restaurant2(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label2");
ilpiatto_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant3);
function restaurant3(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label3");
pierreplatters_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restaurant4);
function restaurant4(event:MousEvent):void
gotoAndStop("label4");
/* Click to Go to Frame and Stop
Clicking on the specified symbol instance moves the playhead to the specified frame in the timeline and stops the movie.
Can be used on the main timeline or on movie clip timelines.
Instructions:
1. Replace the number 5 in the code below with the frame number you would like the playhead to move to when the symbol instance is clicked.
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(1);
When you test the movie, the following errors appear:

Problem Playing AVI Files From Adobe Classroom In A Book

Hiya,
I just bought the Adobe Classroom In A Book for Premiere Pro CS4. However, when I try to run Lesson 1, Premiere Pro appears to be having a cow with the AVI file needed for the project. It tells me that the codec is missing or unavailable. I'm using a MacBook Pro on Leopard and, according to the updater agent, I'm up-to-date. Has anyone tried this book? And run into problems? Any solutions to offer me? This is driving me bonkers!
Please and thank you!

Hm-m, the DV-Type II's *should* play fine in QT. At least they do with QT on my PC. Adobe is usually pretty good at getting their CiaB assets X-platform. Wonder what's going on here. I think that this is the third thread on CiaB assets not playing on a Mac. Odd indeed, and probably just a "mess up" on someone at Adobe Press.
Had similar with a Painter 3.0 book, years ago. The author had to send me 11 CD's before we found one that had the PC files on it. All the rest were Mac-only and she was really pissed at her publishing house. However, she hung in there, and we got it sorted out.

I bought the ibook version of "Photoshop Elements 11: Classroom in a Book"

Hello
the ibook version of photoshop elements 11: classroom in a book did not come with the lession CD that normally comes with the hardcopy of this book. I was wondering if there
was any way of getting the Lession CD because the ibook is worthless to me without the lession CD.

There should be a link to these files at the back of the book. For example in PSE 10 the page looks like this:
You could try substituting the ISBN number in the above book to see if it works.

I am new to PS PS6 and purchased PS Classroom in a Book as a primer.
In Lesson 1 (using the 01B_Start.psd example) I am able to type and move horizontal text but when I follow the instructions (exactly as writ!)
to change the text colour, via a swatch selection, the foreground colour and the Optios Bar text colour swatch change, but the text that I typed and then selected to change (per instruction!) does not change from default black.
Can some one help me fix what I am sure is a trivial problem? No tech support over the week-end. The only time I have to do this!
Thank you.

Hi ! Kendall,
Thank you for your response. Your reply was very clear and helpful.
The screen shot you requested is attached.
Using your advice I can change the color of the text I inserted in the
Classrooom in a Book Adobe Photoshop CS6 Lesson 1 lesson (Page 24)
Following the instructions in the Book however, the text I inserted does
not change color.
The Book instructions are:
1. In ther tools panel, select the Horizontal Type tool (T).
2. Drag the Horizontal Type Tool across the text to select all the words.
(When I do this I select the text in a "box" as shown in the Screen Shot
below. It does not "highlight" the text in colour as your methods do.)
3. Click the Swatches tab .... and select a swatch.
The selected colour does appear as the foreground colour and the text
colour swatch in the options bar BUT THE TEXT DOES NOT CHANGE.
Is the book wrong or (more likely) am I making a mistake?
Really grateful for your help.
Screen shot attached below.

Adobe Classroom in a book file won't open anymore

I have a Framemaker 7 Classroom in a book file that won't open anymore. I purchased in in 2006
and it's worked for years. There is no error message. I keep getting redirected to Adobe Digital Editions website. So I've installed the Adobe Digital Editions software and still no luck. I spent 2 hours on the phone this morning with Adobe support and their final conclusion is they don't support this issue.
Anyone have any ideas? All my other pdf's open with out any trouble. Some of them are ancient.
Thanks,
June

Adobe Classroom in a Book - Automated Editing to Markers

I am trying to learn Adobe Premiere in a class right now and we are using "Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book" as our text.
On page 139, it is talking about automated editing to markers and no matter what I do, I cannot get the results that the book is talking about.
I followed all the instructions to the letter:
Open the sequence Sunset Mortgage in the sequences bin.
Set the Timeline at the beginning and play the sequence.
Press the M key to add the markers to the beat of the music.
Set the Timeline to the beginning.
In the Project window, select all the Sunset images
Press the "Automate To" button make the setting match the same as the book.
I did all this and it still does not work. This is happening on the Mac I have at school as well as my Windows 7 machine at home.
Ideas?
I included two image. The first one is a screencap of my Automate To sequence (which is the same as the book) and the 2nd one is the Timeline window, showing what happened.

I'm not 100% why what you are doing is not working, but I can say the following steps work great in CS5 w/ Win7 64 bit:
1) Use the Asterisk key on the number keypad to mark the "beats" of the soundtrack
2) Drag and drop a folder of images or clips onto the "Automate to sequecence" icon
3) The same pop-up "Automate to Sequence" menu you show will come up; I use:
- Ordering = Sort order
- placement = At unnumbered markers
- method = Insert Edit
Also note that your photos or clips need to have a longer duration than where they are being inserted or there will be gaps
Regards,
Jim
