Adding Clip art and text

I am fine tuning my Premeire Elements Video and adding music, text and some clip art. I am using Premiere 8. When I add clip art and text it goes in fine but when I do a preview playback the text and or the clip art fanishes before the end of the clip. I have put in "time stretch" for the clip, is there any way to also lengthen the clip art and the text? I have looked and read but am not finding the answer. Thanks

Meantime, have you checked out my free 8 part Basic Training series on Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com?

Clip art and stock photos

Hi; I'm working on Grant's challenge and I was looking for clip art and photos to use. I searched for free ones but the sites I found are not places I want to go because they do not look like shady places. Any recommendations?

Mickey,
A while back I bought ClickArt 400,000 from Boderbund. It was very inexpensive. Check out their website. Every so often they run a special promotion with free shipping.

Clip art and messy borders?

Hello all,
I upgraded from photoshop elements 6 to cs4. PE6 had quite a few clip art and various photo art enhancements, but I don't see any in cs4, but I know they must be somewhere in there. Can someone please direct me to the clipart. I would like to put fancy squigly border pieces on the corners of my photos and I would like to get some of the edging borders that surroung the photos that look like chalky borders. Please direct me on where to go
Thank you!

Going back many versions, there used to be sample images included. Cannot recall if these were dropped in PS3, or PS4. There were few, though there were some ClipArt items, IIRC (may be thinking of AI).
As John points out, there are tons of libraries available for purchase, and if you have MS Office, MS has a ton of both stock photos, ClipArt and similar available. Do not know if that is available without Office.
There are also many sites that have a lot of decent ClipArt, and much of it is free, or reasonably priced.
The one thing to consider is the exact format of these. Some are bitmapped line art, and some are in proprietary formats, like WordPerfect's Graphics format. Others are Vector art and can be disassembled and reassembled at will. This will be easier in AI.
Good luck,

When saving a document as a PDF for printing, I lose pages, clip art, and my orginal format. Help!

I have created some forms for our congregation to fill in with answers on adobe forms central. When I go to turn it into a PDF for printing for a hard copy, (not all our members have internet) when i save it to a PDF, it doesn't save all the pages and formats it differently then show on the screen i programmed it onto. How do I fix this issue?

Hi;
In the "Feature Tutorials/Help" linked from the top of the main page of the Forums: Feature Tutorials / Help
There is a Tutorial on "Creating and distributing fillable PDF Forms": Tutorial: Creating and distributing fillable PDF forms
The main thing to look at is the "View" setting and for PDF set it to "Page View", the page breaks you define in Page View will be used in the PDF, there are also "implicit" page breaks added automatically based on the page size.
For the issue with clip art see this FAQ: Image does not show up in PDF
Thanks,
Josh

Adding clip art to the "Extras" in PSE 11

Is it possible to add more clip art to the "Extras" (to be included "on" slides) in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11? I note that there is a clip art folder in Premiere Elements 11 but can find no such thing for Photoshop Elements 11.
Can this be done.
Thanks in advance,
Dale

In Acrobat XI we have provided user customization of the tools and you can now add the 'Strikethrough' (is this what you mean by "StrikeOut"?), 'Underline', and more quite simply to the Toolbar.
Simply right-click on the menu bar which in turn brings up the Tools context menu, and select "Edit Current Tool Set..." - this is the Customization menu. Here you can add any single tools and any others to the Tool Bar, and/or also create custom Tool Sets for the Right-Hand panel, which consist of only the tools you are interested in having in your Tool Set.
I am fairly certain that we don't support adding or changing Registry Entries for customizing Acrobat, nor ever have. If you decide to persist in this manner, you are on your own.
Thanks

Adding "black" lines and text to image scans

I'm currently running Acrobat 9 Pro, under XP.
I scan documents as black-and-white PDF image files. They usually contain handwritten text. OCR is not applicable (at least, as far as I know there's little if anything that currently exists that's realistic for doing OCR on hand-written text).
I just leave them as images of the handwritten text, and that's generally okay for my purposes.
However, I often want to go in and "edit" a little bit of that handwritten text -- just a few words here and there -- either by sometimes crossing things out or sometimes deleting them (or whiting them out, or covering them with a white box), and adding a text box with new typed text either over or between existing handwritten text..
I know how to do most of that (well, I could use a few pointers on deleting or whiting out handwritten words), but I don't know how to make it all "black" so it tends to blend better with the color of the scan itself. Currently, lines I draw and text I enter appear red. How do I make them appear black so it blends better?
Can I do that?
Or do I need to upgrade to be able to do that?
Thanks.

I'm not sure we're on the same page. I already have no probelm drawing a white box to cover existing text (remember, this is all "images" since I'm just scanning in handwritten pages and not using OCR on them at all) and I can already draw a text frame to enter text into, just as I can already draw lines to cross things out that I don't want to just cover with a white box. I'm just looking for a way to make that text and those lines black instead of red (and for anything else that might make the process more elegant).
Thanks.

Adding New Image and Text to an Existing Page Created with Tables

Working in DW 5.5
I'm trying to add a new image/link and small amount of text to an existing web page that was created with tables and centered. I am using AP Divs. One for the image and one for the text. Everything functions fine, but I can't get the new items to anchor and re-center with the rest of the page. I am not able to overide the "Absolute Positioning". I've tried different solutions from various tutorials but I can't seem to make them work with tables.
The added items are a Facebook button and text.
Go to: http://www.sugarhollowfarms.net/index.html to see the problem.
Please help. I'm not that experienced.

Make a back-up of the page first before you implement the changes below!
Take the below bit of code from <div id="FBlogo">...... to.......... </div> 
and insert it directly after the opening div tag FWTableContainer and before your opening table tag (see position below):
<div id="FWTableContainer209091602">
<div id="FBlogo"><a href="#"><img src="images/fb.png" alt="fb" width="62" height="62" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.facebook.com/SugarHollowFarms','facebook','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes, menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=1000,height=800')"></a>
<p class="bodytext"><strong>Join us<br>
on Facebook</strong></p></div>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800">
Then add - position: relative; - to the FWTableContainer css (as shown below):
#FWTableContainer209091602 {
    /* The master div to make sure that our popup menus get aligned correctly. Be careful when playing with this one. */
    position:relative;
    margin:auto;
    width:800px;
    height:600px;
    text-align:left;
    top: 20px;
    background-image: url(images/homepage_new3.jpg);
    border: medium solid #336600;
    position: relative;
Amend the css for FBlogo to as below:
#FBlogo {
    position:absolute;
    left:700px;
    top:380px;
    width:91px;
    z-index:1;
    text-align: center;
Amend the css for bodytext as below:
.bodytext {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    line-height: 13px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;

Clip Art and Borders

Hi - Does anyone know if there is clip art available for pages and can you add a page border. Going Crazy!!!! Hope someone has the answer. Thanks

Hello macgirl1188,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. You can use every clip art you can find if it is a EPS, PDF or PS file. Of course you can use bitmap files in JPEG, PNG or TIFF, too. Have a look at http://www.openclipart.org/.
You can insert a rectangle shape for every kind of border. Make sure the shape is a fix placed object (in the wrap inspector). Adjust it in size, position and appearance like you need it and send it to the back (menu: "Arrange"). If you need the border on every page, choose the menu item "Format/Advanced/Send Object to Page Master". If you need the border only on one page, you can lock it with the menu item "Arrange/Lock".
If you need a more art like border, you have to insert an image in the needed size and resolution.
Frank.

Animated gif clip art and saving

I am working on an ad for a customer and they want moving parts on the ad. I have built the background and text in Photoshop Elements 11. I have two pieces of animated gif clipart to place on the ad. How do I save it so that the pieces of clipart still move after saving?

However, there is no way to create the entire ad in PSE, since PSE can't save it as an html file. You will need to build the ad itself using some kind of web software.
In PSE once you put the gifs into the ad you would have to save it in an image format and they would no longer be gifs, so wouldn't move.

Questions about editing video clips, images and text

I'm using the Expert mode and I'm having trouble with figuring out how to do certain things.
1. I'm superimposing a picture of a scoreboard on my video and then I superimpose a text object on top of that so I can update the scores throughout the video. I've placed on instance of the text object on my "Video 3" and now I want to change the score. So I created another instance on the same "Video 3" timeline. Now I want to close the gap between the two instances. I would expect to be able to click on the gap in between and delete it but nothing happens. I would also expect to be able to double click on the instance to access the specific start and end times that I see when I hover over it. But again nothing happens. So I've been magnifying the timeline so I can manually drag the two instances together. Is there an easier and more precise way to close the gap?
2. Is there an easier way to periodically change a text object without creating a bunch of instances? My "project assets" folder is getting filled up quickly because the score is constantly getting updated and I keep creating a new instance for each score change.
3. Is there a way to permanently combine two seperate video clips? I've used the "group" option but there is still a divider that reminds me that the two were seperate. I'd like to be able to combine the two and for it to look as if it was always just one large clip.
4. When I use the scissors to cut a section out of the middle of a clip, the blue marker that shows where I am currently in the video stays in place. So each time I cut out a section, I have to manually drag the blue marker over to the new beginning that was at the end of all the stuff I just cut. Is there a preference to have the blue marker stay with you when you edit instead of it suddenly being far ahead of you in the editing process?
Thanks!

Other than doing Duplicates of your Title, and editing those, as needed, the only other option would be to create the Titles in another program, such as Photoshop, then Save those as PSD's, to be Imported into PrE. The one downside of doing that, is that to edit those PSD "titles" is to Open them in Photoshop - the PrE Titler will not open them for the additional editing.
PrE does not have as much power to organize Assets, such as Titles, as does Premiere Pro, with both Bins and Folders (later versions). I always create a Bin, for my Titles, or even several Bins, for different types of Titles in the Project.
Maybe others will have a workflow, that I have not considered, so we both might learn something.
Good luck,
Hunt

Parts of masked line art and text appearing in PDF and (some) in InDesign files

Hello Adobe community,
I was wondering if someone can shed any light on an issue (or possibly 2 issues) I am having. I am using CC on a Mac. Software versions are Illustrator CC 17.1, InDesign 10.1.0.71, Acrobat 11.0.07.
Firstly in InDesign there is some screen residue appearing on the frame edge. The problem seems to be sporadic and not on every page of a 100pg+ document. The residue is appearing from a vector file of a map and this part of the map is masked with a compound path in Illustrator. The following is a screen snapshot of the Indesign file. (The little red arrow is not part of the file - it's just pointing out the problem)
The placed Illustrator file looks like this. The following snapshots shows the .ai file, the isolated compound path and outline mode showing what is happening beyond the compound path.
The horizontal arrow in the above (outline) snapshot shows part of the art that then occurs in the pdf. The vertical arrow shows where the compound path begins.
When I make a pdf not only does the fine line occur but part of the art beyond the compound path occur.
First arrow indicates fine line. Second arrow indicates the part of the masked artwork that is showing.
If anyone could suggest what may be causing this issue, that would be tremendous. I also cannot understand why this happens with just some of the masked artwork.
Thanks in advance
Stef

Stephane,
You should try to persuade Illy to update to 18.1.1.
You may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.
You may also try this specialized forum (where you may be able find the answer from previous threads),

Help with Clipping Mask and text!

This has really been frustrating me.
Designing this logo at the mo - the circle is a shape and the L is just type on a separate layer on top with the same colour as background. What I want is to make the L cut into the circle so that it's essentially transparent, where I can place it on any coloured background and the L will blend it naturally without constantly changing typeface colour of 'L'.
Any ideas guys? Using CS5. I'd appreciate any help.

Hi,
One way is to put your text and circle into a layer group, then set the Blending Options:Custom to Zero fill and Knockout to Shallow.
The layer that is directly below the layer group will show through the text.

Adobe Source for Photos and Clip Art

Does Adobe have its own source for clip art and photos that it's customers can use? If not can anyone recommend a good web site for such stuff (or is that not allowed under forum rules?), of course, preferably free.
Thank you

Clip Art, Picture Frames, Borders, etc...

I was wondering if there is a place where you can get clip art, more picture frames and cool borders for Pages 08?
Thanx
Joe

I'm afraid you're looking completely in the wrong place. PS doesn't produce instant galleries, it is a full-blown professional image editing app. Hence there is no such thing as decorative borders, clip art and what have you. Of course al lof that can be added with PS in a million ways like patterns, shape brushes or by using text with dingbats, but it's not prefab stuff. And "easy" is very much a matter of perception and experience, but from what it sounds like, you wil lbe much happier with Photoshop Elements or similar products from otehr vendors...

Does Pages have any clip art?

I am trying out Pages after having used Word for last five years or so, but I am finding it very frustrating when it comes to clip art.
Does Pages come with any clip art? Is there any clip art out there especially for Pages?
Word has a lot of clip art and a very useful web page that works very smoothly with the Clip Art Gallery; Does Pages have anything similar?
Any help would be appreciated.
Muz

Muz- I understand your approach. If you have access to both Word and Pages, maybe you could use the occasional Word clipart as an image inside Pages. I find Pages far simpler than Word when it comes to interating images into a body of text.
Hybrid solutions are no good, though. From within Pages, you can click "Pages, Provide pages Feedback" and request clipart in a future version. Good luck.
