Adding a jpg title: what dpi?

I am trying to add a title to my clips like the BBC news in the form of imported jpgs, ie with logo and text on background BUT when imported it fills the width of screen and is not terribly sharp. I have experimented with various dpi but with no success. Am using PRE 9 + creating jpgs in CorelDraw. Ideas most welcome.

Technically dpi or ppi doesn't matter, since you're working in onscreen resolution. The only thing that matters is the overall measurement, in pixels. But most people just use 72 ppi anyway.
For a full-screen graphic, use a 640x480 pixel graphic. You can resize it as needed.
Your photos, by the way, aren't going to be terribly sharp no matter what you do. Remember that video resolution is only the equivalent of a 640x480 picture, so you can only get so much detail.
But, once you've added a photo to your video you'll see a red line above the clips on your timeline. Press Enter to render the timeline (the red line will turn green) and you'll at least have a better idea of what your final video output will look like.

Problems adding an image title?

Hi,
When I place an image in Muse I'm having problems adding an image title. When I Control click the image in Design view the choices I get at the bottom of the pop up menu are
Edit original
Edit Image Properties
When I looked it up in help it tells me I should also see another item "Add Title" but I don't get that as a choice. When I click on "Edit Image Properties" I get a choice of Tooltips or Alt Text but no place for a title.
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks,

Adding titles and alternative text to images
After you place images on a page, you can access the Image Properties dialog box to set both a title and alternative text (also sometimes called alt text) that is assigned to the image.
Here's a brief description of each property:
Title: In many browsers, the title is displayed in addition to the image, typically as a tooltip that appears when a cursor hovers over it.
Alternate text: If the image file cannot be shown, this text is displayed in place of the image. Alternate text is also used to describe images to visually impaired visitors using assistive technologies to access page content.
It is ideal to set titles and alternative text for every site asset, to ensure that visitors have the best experience when navigating your site. Tooltips are helpful for including additional information about graphics and alternative text makes pages more accessible for screen readers that verbally present graphic content.
To add titles and alternative text, follow these steps:
1. Select a placed image.
2. Right-click on the image and select Add Title or Add Alternative Text from the context menu that appears (see Figure 3).

Scanning a 35 mm slide - what dpi to use?

What dpi should I scan a 35mm slide to produce a good image, via idvd, to a 36 inch television?

I suggest you read: Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html
If you intent to produce a standard format NTSC DVD, you should have 720x540 pixels so you should scan at 540 ppi (say 600 ppi). This will give you a roughly 900x600 pixel image. (The DVD image is in a 4:3 ratio and your slides are in a 3:2 ratio.)
Keep in mind that if you are planning to view the slideshow on a TV set, you will not see the edges of the image due to a TV set ovescan. You can select 'Scale slides to TV safe area' in Preference>Slideshow. If you do this, your slides will have a black border when viewed on a computer monitor.

What DPI should I have photos at for iPad?

I understand the ideal resolution for photos on the iPad is 1024x768. What DPI should I save them at for the optimal display quality?

But it won't make a large file size smaller right?
If your files are managed by iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, then yes it will. You need only compare the storage space allocated for your iPad photos against the storage space required for the original photos in the managing application. For example, I have 3 April Aperture albums currently installed on my iPad. On the iPad they require a bit more than 200 MBs of space. The original files that remain stored on my hard drive by Aperture take up 600 MBs of space. The amount of storage space saved will depend on the format and dimensions of the original files. I.e., the less compressed and larger the original file, the more space you will save during this automated optimization by iTunes as it syncs the content. Conversely, the smaller and more compressed the files you sync via iTunes, the less savings your will realize until you reach a point where no optimization takes place and the iPad file is the same as the original file. I don't think we can explain this in any simpler terms here.
As to the dpi vs. ppi (and/or lpi for that matter), I assume the poster was left-handedly attempting to point out that the terms have somewhat technical differences and should be applied more judiciously with respect to the medium or device to which you are making your reference. However, most of us did realize what you were trying/meant to say.

What is the best way to back up iTunes on an external HD w/o getting numbers added to the title?

What is the best way to back up iTunes on an external HD w/o getting numbers & dashes or underscores added to the begenning of the title? ex: "10_Help"

That is what I have been doing but when I simply highlight, then drag the files (songs) to the hard drive, numbers and a dash (or underscore) appears at the beginning of the song’s title. There may be as many as ten songs with “10_” (then the title) then there will be ten or so songs with “11_” and on and on. This includes the entire list, making it difficult to locate songs to restore to the library since the group of ‘10s’ will include songs with different “first letters” in the title. Each number-group will have a non-alphabetized group of songs. If the songs are dragged back to iTune library, the numbers and dash always follow and become part of the song’s title in iTunes making it impossible to sort by title.
1. In iTunes, slelct ALL songs in your Library - Get Info - check the box next to the track number - this will remove the track number for ALL music in your library.
or
2. Use a renamer like Renamer4Mac or ABetterFinderRename to remove the enumeration AFTER moving everything ot the external HD.
Personally I'd do the latter as the former will "pooch" album track order in yout iTunes.

Adding buttons on title line

I am relatively new to Flex and I have run into a slight
problem that I that I think is because of lack of experience. I
have a panel and I have set the title attribute but now I am
required to add buttons to the right of the title. I am not sure
what the best way to do this is or even if it is viable. I have
read in other places throughout the internet that it is possible to
add buttons to the title of an object, but I do not know how to do
to proceed. I have thought about it and I think making an HBox and
adding a label for the title and then the required buttons might
work, but when it compiles it leaves a blank space above my new
HBox that just does not look good. Is there someway to override the
title of the panel or set its height to 0, or better yet some way
to add buttons to the title line of the panel? Any help would be
appreciated.

Batch JPG to 72 DPI

I have read through threads on changing dpi through batch
process, but I can not find answer I am looking for. I have about
200 images I have to convert to 72dpi 1024x768 JPG's from TIF's. I
understand that the resolution of 72dpi is not necessary for web
browsing, but since it is a requirement for the images I have to
submit, I have no choice but to change dpi to 72. Can I do it
through Fireworks? I see nowhere to change dpi, only size.

Open one of the images in Fireworks and change its resolution
to 72 PPI
[Modify > canvas > Image size. Change the resolution to
72 PPI. Click OK
to accept the changes and close the dialog box.
Open the History panel and click on the "Image Size" step to
select it.
Open the history panel options menu and select save as
command.
Give the command a name you can remember its function by.
When adding commands to the batch process you'll be able to
use the one
you just created to resample your images to 72 PPI.

Workflow for adding 300+ simple titles

Hi,
I'm about to start a new project that involves adding about 300+ kids names to each 1 minute video segment of each child. When it's finished I'll deliver on 4 DVDs.
I'll occasionally need to move sections of kids between sequences so that each DVD is about equal in length. I want to make sure the title stays with the child.
I know how to do this in the simple case -- place my segments in the timeline, add a second video track. Then repeat x300:
In the viewer choose Generators->Text->Text.
Click "Controls"
Click in the "SAMPLE TEXT" area.
Type the kid's name over the words "Sample Text".
Click "Video"
Move the wireframe down so that it's in the lower third.
Click on the duration.
Change the duration to 3 seconds.
Apple-2 to bring up the canvas.
Apple-F10 to overwrite (Don't ask me why it's not plain F10 as the mouseover hint implies, I can't figure that out)
' ' to move to the next edit point.
My question is, is there a way to improve this workflow and make it more efficient? I intend to also name the segments with the child's name, so that I can find them easily if that parent requests an individualized cut. (Right now they all have names like "Segment 39 from Saturday Tape 02") Ideally I'd like to pull the "SAMPLE TEXT" text from the name of the segment, so that I only have to type each name once, while naming the segment.
Is there a way to save my text settings and bring them up quickly with keyboard shortcuts? I can't figure out how to get a keyboard shortcut to get to the "Controls" tab of the Viewer window.
Thank you,
--Beth

I asked our PowerPoint geek about this and he said:
If all you have is a hammer...
Thanks for trying though.
The solution posted eariler is much simpler, creating the list in word still requires the TAB keystrokes to get to the next entry, and it doesn't have the integration of "What am I looking at as I title this?"
The solution above is basically "Do some setup, then:
Type the kid's name.
Tab.
F10.
Cmd-1
Tab.
Type next kid's name, 5 keystrokes, type next kid's name, 5 keystrokes...
It's very easy. I've even re-mapped "bring up the viewer" (previously Cmd-1) to the semicolon to mimize multi-finger keystrokes.
Speaking of minimizing multi-finger keystrokes, I attempted to re-map "Edit Marker" in the browser (orignially some combo involving M) to a single keystroke, but nothing I tried worked. I tried the letter 'g' and 'y' and 'r' and a few others, but most seemd to jump me either ahead or back in the browser list. I found a workaround while searching for a solution, but I'm still wondering if anyone knows why this is?
For completeness, the reason I was doing this is that my original footage is captured as one complete chunk then markers added with DV start stop detect. I wanted to make sub-clips and have them have reasonable names, but there was no keyboard shortcut to do that (or so I thought) so I was editing the marker names using a re-mapped CMD-G, but I wanted it to no longer need the CMD in front.
When seeking a solution for that problem I learned that hitting the ENTER key on the numeric keypad will allow me to edit a subclip name directly, which is actually better for my purposes.
Thanks again for all the help!! (Even in forums where I didn't ask the question, only searched for answers)
--Beth
PS. People reading this far into the thread are probably efficiency nuts like me, so I thought I'd share that the reason I used CMD-G to edit the marker is that I name each one with the reel and segment number followed by the text name. For the reel and segment number I cut (CMD-C) the first one, then paste it as the default name in the field for each subsequent marker, changing only the last digit. i.e. "01-003 Firstname Lastname" I cut-and-paste the "01-00" portion. I'd hold down on CMD and hit 'gv' and type the digit and the name.

Dear Adobe,
It's great you keep adding shiny new "newsworthy" features ... but what about fixing long-standing bugs/issues and addressing the basics that have been missing since the the beginning?
WHAT ABOUT LEAVING PASTED CLIPS SELECTED after a Paste operation in the Timeline?!? Like every other app in the world?
What about leaving a complex selection of clips intact after an UNDO operation? (This costs me hundreds of minutes a week.) Like every other app in the world?
What about allowing "." as an abbreviation for "00" when entering timecode?
What about letting the renaming of a clip in a bin be reflected in timelines?
What about a "reduce project" option? (To remove all items not used by selected sequences, like Ae.)
What about actually useful clip labels (colors) which link between timeline items and their respective clips in the bin? (Like Avid & FCP) So we can mark certain clips a certain color in a bin and have that color be reflected in timelines?
What about being able to close the title tool with a shortcut, not just a tiny 4x4 button?
What about fixing the title tool so it's kerning/leading shortcuts are NOT the exact opposite of EVERY OTHER CC application?
What about a simple "Select Media Relatives" command, like in FCP and Avid?
What about fixing the audio scrub toggle shortcut so that it works without having to play or use the mouse?
What about a shortcut for "Reveal in Finder" from the Timeline? It's in the context menu -- why no shortcut?

I am curious about the time you waste ...and wonder what and why you are doing it... that causes this loss of efficiency.
2. What about leaving a complex selection of clips intact after an UNDO operation? (This costs me hundreds of minutes a week.) Like every other app in the world?
Maybe there is a better way !

What dpi should I be using for prints?

I usually print photos directly from within Aperture by using the Apple/Kodak 'order prints' system built in to Aperture. However, I have had a few problems with this and decided recently to try using a local vendor instead. I notice the vendor recommends .jpg files with a minimum dpi of 300. When I looked at the export settings in Aperture (under "jpg-original size"), the dpi is set at 72. My questions are:
1) Will changing it to 300 dpi make a big difference?
2) When I've been ordering from Apple/Kodak using Aperture's print service, what settings are being used there? 72, 300 or other?
3) If I give digital files to someone on a CD, should I export at 300 dpi if they intend to make prints? I have, evidently, been exporting at 72 dpi all this time...
I should probably point out that I shoot in RAW, then convert to .jpg when I've done my adjustments and am ready to export to a CD.
Many thanks.

Jamie,
As iDave stated, the DPI number that your picture indicates is not necessarily relevant to your printing process. What is important is how many pixels you have to work with.
That 300 DPI is a somewhat magical number, dealing with physics and human anatomy. At normal reading distance (something like 16 inches?), the average human eye can tell differences if a picture is printed at less than 300 DPI. That is, your eye is can resolve up to 300 DPI at reading distance.
To find the DPI, there is no setting. Take the number of horizontal pixels in your picture (let's say 3000), and divide it by the horizontal size of your photo (Let's say 6 inches if you are printing 4x6). That photo can have 500 DPI, when printed, if the photo printer supports resolutions that high. 500 DPI is greater than 300 DPI, so your eyes will be happy. They will be just as happy as if you had printed with 1800 pixels wide, which is 300 DPI. If you print out a photo that is 1200 pixels wide to a 4x6 print, you will have 200 DPI, and your eye will tell that things aren't really quite crisp.
So, taking the math the other way, if you are printing 4x6 prints, you would want the long dimension to be at least 6x300=1800 pixels. In other words, don't crop a photo to less than 1800 pixels wide and expect it to print sharply. Also, don't use an Aperture export option that reduces the number of pixels ("TIFF - 50% of original size") if your original was less than 3600 pixels wide.
All this math of course has nothing to do with the quality of your original. If your original wasn't in focus, printing it as a 4x6 with 300 DPI will look out of focus. If you threw away a lot of pixels because it's a low quality JPEG, you won't get those pixels back and the photo may look blocky at any size.
This also says nothing about how good your eye really is, too, and how far away you will be when viewing your prints.
Hope this makes sense,
nathan

Adding a second title to a clip

I've attached a centered multiple to the first clip successfully. However I now want to attach additional text to other clips throughout the movie but when I click and drag, it won't take to the clip. The + symbol shows when dragged over the clip but no joy. Any ideas?

Ric - If you have inserted transitions between clips, the title will not "take". You'll need to either remove the transition or split the clip (as described in my previous post). The transition can be added again after the title renders.
As you have probably noticed, when placing the title in the timeline, if you drag over the clip it will move to the right to allow insertion of the title. My last post wasn't clear about that - you don't have to drag to the exact division between clips (I had forgotten that the clip moved sideways when hovering OVER it).
