Add Movie Ratings/MPAA image to moviesheet

Hi All, I've been slowly but surely personalising my WDTV Live SMP unit with the awesome "Simplicity by DeVicious" theme. I've basically altered the theme to the point where I'm happy with the final result, but i'm stuck on one last part. I want to add the movie Rating/Certification/Classification/MPAA image onto the moviesheet for each movie. Basically I want to know whether it's possible for the moviesheet to pick up the movie MPAA from the .xml file (or where ever the data is sourced from) and load the correct image. This theme automatically picks up the resolution of the movie, and adds the appropriate resolution image onto the moviesheet, but I can't seem to get it working for the movie MPAA. I'm not sure where or how it picks up this data but I believe it comes from these two sections of code. <Resolutions>
<Resolution Name="288P" Text="288p" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\288p.png" />
<Resolution Name="480I" Text="480I" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\480i.png" />
<Resolution Name="480P" Text="480p" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\480.png" />
<Resolution Name="576I" Text="576I" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\576i.png" />
<Resolution Name="576P" Text="576p" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\576.png" />
<Resolution Name="720I" Text="720I" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\720i.png" />
<Resolution Name="720P" Text="720p" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\720.png" />
<Resolution Name="1080I" Text="1080I" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\1080i.png" />
<Resolution Name="1080P" Text="1080p" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_resolution\1080.png" />
</Resolutions> <ImageElement Name="Resolution" X="762" Y="128" Width="54" Height="37" Source="Base64String" Offset="0" MultiPageIndex="-1" SourceData="%RESOLUTION%" NullImageUrl="" PreserveMetaData="True" TGD_IsLocked="False" TGD_IsVisible="True" /> If anyone can help point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

**EDIT** I just saw your post with the MPAA code and will try that now and see how it goes I've just checked the Thumbgen setting and the "Disable Medinfo Processing" is NOT checked. So if I understand this correctly, does Thumbgen/moviesheet pull the data for the Resolution & MPAA from the media info stored within the movie file itself, not the .xml file that is created by Thumbgen? I've added the following bits of code to the Theme .xml file, based on the coding for the Resolution. I've got the "Common" folder and created a new folder which holds the MPAA pictures I want to use. The code below should be picking up the correct folder/image. <Ratings>
<Rating Name="PG" Text="PG" Image="%PATH%\..\Common\image_ratings\PG.png" />
</Ratings> I've then added this bit of code for where the MPAA image will be placed in the moviesheet, the only part of this code I'm not sure on is the "SourceData="%RATING%". I don't know if this is correct? <ImageElement Name="MPAA" X="684" Y="300" Width="54" Height="50" Source="Base64String" Offset="0" MultiPageIndex="-1" SourceData="%RATING%" NullImageUrl="" PreserveMetaData="True" TGD_IsLocked="False" TGD_IsVisible="True" />

Premiere Elements 11 -- Visual C++ Runtime Error when trying to add Movie Menus

Premiere Elements seems to be working fine in all reapects, except when I try to add Movie Menus, nothing shows up in the Movie Menu area, and eventually I get a Visual C++ Run time error as shown in the attached image. When I click OK, the program crashes. This is repeatable.
I am running Windows 7 with latest Service Pack. I am running dual GeForce cards, with the latest drivers. No other software is giving me any issues.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nick

Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I have my two graphics cards SLI sttings properly configured, and they have been working correctly for every other Premiere unctionality, as well as all of the rest of CS6 applications (and Lightroom). I have double-checked that I do have the latest drivers from nVidia's site.
I do have the latest QuickTime software.
I have gone in and updated all of the optional Windows updates.
I keep getting the same error, but I think I can describe it better.
When I go into the Movie Menu panel, the "Add a theme" link in the panel does not respond. When I click the Menu Theme button in the upper right corner of the Movie Menu panel, I do get the library of themes to select from, but when I select one, it does not load in to the panel. (It does download the content from online, though it doesn't show on the screen. I just see the "Add a theme" link in the middle of the page.) The Adjustments panel on the right is completely blank.
I can click the "Done" button to close the Movie Menu panel. But when I try to open the Movie Menu panel a second time, it crashes immediately and I get the error message from my last post in this thread.
I have repeatedly re-booted my computer, but I get the identical behavior. All of the other functionality of Premiere Elements still work.
If the next receommendation is to re-install the software, do I have to move my projects anywhere? Or do I just leave them and re-install?
Thanks,
Nick

How to add a border around images posted to Facebook?

I am using LR 4.1, also usis PS CS5.
Anyone who uses Facebook to showcase image galleries knows that Facebook changes how images are displayed from time to time. One month it will be on a black background and the next on a white background. And then they put overlay's on top of your images and they change things around whenever they wish. There is not rock solid consistency from Facebook on how they display your images across devices or over time.
What I am trying to do is to add some consistency to how my images are displayed by adding my own border to my images. I need some ideas on how to best do this. The way that I have been doing it does not appear to be ideal and I think someone must have a better way.
Ideally, I would want Lightroom to add a border for me based on some setting under the export manager. But as far I know there is no setting to do this? (Why doesn't lightroom have any border options anywhere yet for anything it exports? This would be relatively simple I think.)
Here is the only way I know how to solve my issue.
First, my other considerations:
I want to keep my original images in my catalog in tact and as is w/o a border and with layers if it is a .psd file. I do NOT want to destructively add a border to the catalog images, only the images that end up on Facebook. I also want to add my watermark image to the final image so that it is done as the last step so that the bottom part of my watermark shows my web site address over the white border on the bottom of the image. Using a droplet and the watermark in the same step does not work properly because it applies the watermark before it runs the action, not after.
I have created an action to add a x pixel white border by:
Merging (flatten) all layers
Creating a new unlocked background "image" layer
Expanding the canvas by x pixels.
Creating a new white filled layer and moving it to the bottom of the layer's pallet.
Adding a 2 pixel black inside stroke to my image layer and adding a drop shadow.
I created a droplet from this action and put it in the droplet folder for LR.
Now for the repeated steps that I am going through...
Select the images that I want to write to Facebook.
Export these images to a new folder using the droplet.
Import the folder of all of these images back into Lightroom.
Move the new images with borders on them into the correct LR FB publish service.
Publish the photos using the sharpening and watermark settings.
Delete the .psd files created in Step #2
The steps that I would like to avoid are #2, #3, #6
Or maybe I am going about this all wrong? Anybody have any better ideas?

You may find it much easier to use the Migrify plug-in from Tim Armes/Photographers Toolbox which does what you want from within Lr.

Premiere CS6 keeps crashing when i try to add movement to a Tif file

Hi,
I'm running Premiere 6.02 on a MacBook Pro running 10.8.4 with 16Gb of RAM. I have a simple project on a timeline, but each time I add a Tif file and try to add a little movement to the image using scaling in the Motion video effects, Premiere crashes.
any idea what I'm or Premiere is doing wrong?
thanks

Hi Sandeep,

I haven't tested the problem with a jpeg. Each time I try to scale or move the tif on the timeline the project crashes, Adobe says it will try to save it, can't, and this last time it wouldn't reopen. So I'll be starting the project from scratch.
I'll try resaving the images as jpegs - having recently moved over from Final Cut where the program prefers Tifs, I assumed the same was true with Premiere?
Hi Will,
I've tried the same thing with a TIFF file on my MacBook Pro with the same version of OS X and all is well. Does your MacBook Pro support Mercury Playback Engine? Is it on or in software mode? What are the dimensions and settings for the TIFF? Is it in RGB mode? Does it have multiple layers?
Thanks,

I just takes two points and generates an ArrayList with all the points in between (the shortest path). It generates only the path from the first point received as argument to the second one.
A Position object has only 2 int fields....

Can not add movie to itune

Hi,
I just set up new itunes for ipod touch but i just can not add movie file (mp4) to library in itunes. Please help! Thanks so much!

Make sure you're looking for it in the Movies or TV Shows libraries, or do a search for it by name.
Did you check if the format is compatible with iTunes (QuickTime plays more formats if you have add-ons)?
"but when I open that file with itunes"
This statement confuses me as your point 1/ says you can't find it in iTunes.

How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How do I add text to an image?

I have purchased a template and imported it to Photoshop. I then sliced the template into sections, saved it for web and opened the index file in dreamweaver. My questions is, how do I add text to the images? I want to add the text content, within the boxes on the template, but because they are exported as images from Photshop I can't seem to do it...So let's say there is a box in the middle of the template and I want it to say, Services at the top and below that have a little information about the services offered with a "read more" button at the bottom. I have exported the template out of photoshop with text added and with the boxes empty. I tried to add the text in dreamweaver but couldn't. When I export the sliced template out of photoshop with the text already included, it does show up in Dreamweaver, however it is not in html and I would like it to be for SEO purposes. Forgive me if this question is silly or already answered, I have looked everywhere and couldn't find the answer.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Hi,
I prefer to use tables for that. For example (First of all you have to store this new file):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>AddedText</title>
</head>
<body>
<table width="40%" border="4">
<tr>
    <td>Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top"><div align="center"><img src="yourPicture.jpg" alt="image 01" width="127" height="33" /></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Here I took a table with only one column, you can modify my choice.
There is so too a possibility to use a complete flow text around a picture. If you like that, please give me a shout.

Why can I no longer add movies to my itunes library?

I am currently running iTunes 11.1.5.5 on Windows XP. (Yes, I know...it is an old computer that is dedicated to running iTunes and allowing me to run home sharing accross my network.)
My iTunes Library is housed on a NAS on my home network.
In the past, I have been able to easly add movies that I have converted with Handbrake by using the File>Add File To Library method. This worked just fine and would place the added video file in the Home Videos tab. I could then change the Media Kind under Get Information and easily have the video file relocated to the Movies tab.
This would allow me to view my movies on my appleTV while my home sharing is turned on and iTunes up and running on my computer.
The process to add videos just stopped working.
Now when I try the exact same process, nothing happens. The video file never shows up in iTunes at all. What gives?
Does iTunes have a limit on the size of the library? Is there a new process to add videos that I am not aware of?
Any help would be great.

... and I have Read/Write permissions to the files and the folder they are in.

Can I move all my images to a different folder?

I started out my project just having the images automatically saved in the same folder as the website (using dreamweaver cs6). Now I'm realizing that I'm probably going to want all those images in an images folder inside my site project because when I move the project to my online server I don't want all the images there in the root.
Obviously, if I just move the images in windows explorer to a folder the pages I created won't be able to find them. Does DW have a way to move all the images so that it automatically changes the references with it?

Use DW's Files Panel (F8) to create a new folder. Right click on site root and select New Folder.
Then then click and drag your .jpg and .png files to that new folder. Assuming your site is properly defined, DW will prompt to update link paths for you. Click yes.

Add Strokes to Placed Images in Illustrator

Hi All,
I'm having a problem to add a stroke "frame" around my tiff image in Illustrator. My image is a "traced picture" from Photoshop. I used the following technique:-
Technique: Use an Effect
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into Illustrator document.
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into Illustrator document.
The image is selected. Open Appearance panel and from the Appearance panel flyout menu, choose Add New Stroke.
With the Stroke highlighted in the Appearance panel, choose Effect > Path > Outline Object.
However, the result I got was the stroke around the image NOT the frame around the image.
How do I achieve it. Any help and tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Technique #1: Use a Mask
This technique requires Illustrator CS3 and works only when your keyline will be rectangular in shape.
Choose File > Place and choose an image to place into your Illustrator document. You can either Link or Embed the image. Once you've chosen the image, click the Place button.
The image is selected (if your image already exists in your document, select it now), so if you look in your Control panel at the top of the screen, you'll see a button labeled "MASK". Click on it. This creates a mask at the exact bounds of the image.
Press the "D" key for Default. This gives the mask a black 1 pt stroke attribute. Adjust the stroke per your design needs.
NOTE: An additional benefit to this method of using a mask is that you now have the elements in place to simulate a "frame and image" paradigm like InDesign. Once you've created your mask, you can decide to "crop" your image by double clicking anywhere on the photo. This will put you into Isolation Mode. Now click on the frame edge and resize at will. When you're done, double click outside the image to exit isolation mode and continue working. This method works wonderfully when you're using the Selection tool (black arrow) and have the Bounding Box option turned on (in the View menu).
Technique #2: Use an Effect
At first, it may seem that applying a keyline with the use of an Effect is a tedious process. But we all know that once we've applied an effect, we can store it as a Graphic Style, at which point applying our keyline will become a single click. Go ahead, ask me why Adobe doesn't ship Illustrator with such an effect as a default setting in the NDPs (New Document Profiles). Go ahead, ask me why Adobe doesn't allow us to assign keyboard shortcuts to styles like InDesign does. I don't have answers to either of those questions (sorry). But let's get on with the styles, shall we?
There are two separate effects that we can use, and each provides a different benefit.
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into your Illustrator document. You can either Link or Embed the image. Once you've chosen the image, click the Place button.
The image is selected (or if your image already exists in your document, select it). Open your Appearance panel and from the Appearance panel flyout menu, choose Add New Stroke. We can't see the stroke yet, because all we have is an image. But we'll change that in short order.
With the Stroke highlighted in the Appearance panel, choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle. Check the Preview button, select the Relative option, and set both the Extra Width and Extra Height to zero (0). (Be careful not to press Tab after you enter the second value, or it will switch back to Absolute.) Click OK to apply the effect. Style the stroke attribute to match your design preference.
Now make this easier to apply in the future. With the object still selected, open the Graphic Styles panel and click the New Graphic Style button at the bottom of the panel. Give the style an appropriate name. If you then add this style to your NDPs, it will be readily available in all new files that you create.

What is the best way to add text to an image

I used the draw ap div to add text to an image. will that cause any problems? If so, what is the best way to add text to an image? Thanks!

APDivs will kill your design unless you fully understand the css behind the scenes and plan accordingly. They really are completely unnecessary in the vast majority of situations.
An easy way to add "web text over an image" would be to use the background-image attribute in css for a standard <div> tag, then just add the text within that same <div>.
Something like this in the css (if you are using a 300x300 pixel image)...
#yourdiv {
     background-image:url(yourpic.jpg);
     width:300px;
     height:300px;
And then this in the html...
<div id="yourdiv">Your text here</div>
You would then position the <div> using css margins, floats and padding. Using position:absolute (APDivs) is typically something that will blow your design to pieces if the viewer changes their browser settings.

How to add a photo filter image adjustment layer?

In this tutorial at the last step it says to add a photo filter image adjustment layer on the image to give it a warm finish, I can't see any adjustment palette as shown in image. I use a CS3 Extended.

Wow, again I stand corrected.
I have a perceptual "blind spot" when it comes to finding textual entries in lists. It's a "hidden in plain sight" kind of quirk that I normally work around either by being diligent or finding another way (e.g., pressing the button I highlighted above). I'm sure magicians and people who design camouflage would understand it.
I actually looked in both Photoshop CS5 and CS3 and didn't perceive that entry before I wrote my post above. I probably looked right at it but didn't sense it was there. I was even thinking of writing up a bug report. Now, of course, since you've pointed it out, I go back and look again in my copies of Photoshop and I do see it. It's a bit of a scary realization, as I have to wonder what else in life I've missed because of this. I'm reminded mildly of the scene in the old film "The Andromeda Strain" where the lab worker sees a flashing red "NO GROWTH" indicator but doesn't take action on it because of an epileptic block.
Thanks again for setting me straight MTSTUNER. I continue to learn a lot from you.
