AE stabilizing, with script - automation - ?

hello
i have a question to the stabilizing option in ae...
i´m looking for some kind of automation for a filmproject...evrything is shot to zoom in 8%. is it possible to zoom in 8% and stabilize whats automaticly possible?
i know this is not the way to work with stabilisation- cause its important to have a personal look on it, but the material has to be scaled 8%. evrything is handheld, so this could be yoused tho smoth it a bit?
thank you for youre help

Warp stabilizing a shot depends on the shot. You can't setup a bunch of standard values and have them work for every shot. Can't be done. Each shot must be evaluated and then you must make adjustments based on that specific shot to optimize the shot. Once the shot is optimized it is a very wise workflow to render an digital intermediate for use in the rest of your project. Everything will go better if you do that.

Batch: Open Bridge 'Stacks' as layers in PS CS5 + run action. Is this possible with script??

I posted this topic a couple of days ago - I didn't know about this forum/group so the thread appears in Photoshop Scripting and Bridge Windows. I haven't found a solution on those forums - can any one here help?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/880777?tstart=0

I would like to automate part of my workflow that involves opening stacked images (in Bridge CS5) as layers in Ps CS5 and running an PS action that composites the layers and processes the image. Something similar to 'Process Collection' in Bridge CS5 only with my own action instead of merge to HDR/Panorama.
Apparently this is possible with Mac 'Automator' - is there anything I can do in Windows? I don't have any experience with writing scripts, but have friends that can help. Can someone tell me if its possible and point me in the right direction please?
This needs to be a batch process. I know how to open images as layers from Bridge so that I can manually run the PS action - I would like to automatically process lots of images in this same way.
To clarify, the script if possible will need to
1) find first stack (in Bridge [in selected folder])
2) open as layers in PS
3) run PS action
4) save and close (as psd preserving layers)
5) find next stack in Bridge (selected folder) and repeat.
By 'stack' I mean a set of similar files (for instance same scene -2EV, 0EV, +2EV)
Bridge's 'Process Collection' feature is great because it very cleverly recognises similar images (I think you have to stack them first) opens them and either processes them into a hdr or panoramic image. Instead or hdr or pano, wouldn't it be great if you could run your own action.
Bridge's Image Processor is fantastic at opening a batch of individual files and running your own processing action, but it won't open groups of images ('Stacks' or sets) as layers.
What I need is basically a hybrid of the two.

In case you miss my late append in the other thread you may want to look at the auto collection script that ships with the Bridge and use it as a base for what you want to do. You may also be able to automat the creation of your stacks if their time stamps are close. The Auto Collection Script night now does two types of stacks HDR and Panoramas. You may be able to modify it to do a third stack type. You stack type and use your stack processing process instead of mearge to HDR or PhotoMerge.
From Bridge help:
The Auto Collection CS5 script in Adobe Bridge assembles sets of images into stacks for processing as high dynamic range (HDR) or panoramic composites in Photoshop CS5. The script collects images into stacks based on capture time, exposure settings, and image alignment. Timestamps must be within 18 seconds for the Auto Collection script to process the photos. If exposure settings vary across the photos and content overlaps by more than 80%, the script interprets the photos as an HDR set. If exposure is constant and content overlaps by less than 80%, the script interprets the photos as being part of a panorama.
Note: You must have Adobe Bridge with Photoshop CS5 for Auto Collection CS5 to be available.
To enable the Auto Collection CS5 script, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Bridge CS5.1 > Preferences (Mac OS).
In the Startup Scripts panel, select Auto Collection CS5, and then click OK.
Select a folder with the HDR or panoramic shots, and choose Stacks > Auto-Stack Panorama/HDR.
Choose Tools > Photoshop > Process Collections In Photoshop to automatically merge them and see the result in Adobe Bridge.

Paragraph Alignment question - is it possible with scripting?

Hello. I am working on a business card template that has a paragraph alignment problem. I have asked in other forums if it was possible, they pointed out that it might be, with scripting.
I need to know if it is, so I can dig further.
Here is the problem: I have a name and title on seperate line that need to be aligned to the right margin (the longest line touches the right margin) but centered above or below themselves. The text box is set to receive a large amount of characters. This is an automated system using InDesign Server so no manual adjustments are being made once the information has been submitted.
Is this possible?

Again, I don't know anything about ID Server, but you can try this. Label the text frame 'card' (select the frame, go to Window > Automation > Script label and enter a 'card' -- without the quotes).
try
   tf = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item ('card');
   p0 = tf.paragraphs[0];
   p1 = tf.paragraphs[1];
   p0.justification = Justification.rightAlign;
   p1.justification = Justification.rightAlign;
   p0left = p0.insertionPoints[0].horizontalOffset;
   p1left = p1.insertionPoints[0].horizontalOffset;
   if (p1left > p0left)
      p1.rightIndent = (p1left-p0left)/2
   else
      p0.rightIndent = (p0left-p1left)/2;
catch(_){}
This one doesn't rely on a selection.

Sorry but a script can not access Lightroom so your first step isn't possible.
Second step is Lightroom not Photoshop.
Maybe something could be done if you could work out a Photoshop Only workflow.

Help with an Automator Process

Hello, my name is Mike and this is actually my first post regarding Automator. I am trying to accomplish something that will make my day a whole lot easier but I am having trouble because it is a rather tedious workflow. Ok, here is what I am trying to accomplish...I deal with a company that emails me over "work order" as an .htm attachment, I have to manually open this email and print every attachment. What i would like to do is have the email from this company filtered down, download the attachment to a file so it can be printed and then mark the email as read so when the next time I run this workflow it will only get the the unread mail and the process goes on. Here is what I have so far....
1-get specified mail items
2-display mail messages
3-filter mail messages
4-get attachments from mail messages
5-get folder contents
6-open finder items
That is the current workflow as it sits... some of the pitfalls I am running into is that the file is a .htm and must open with Safari. Next how can I create a script to delete the items from the designated folder as well as mark the ones in the inbox read ? Oh and sometimes when I run the current workflow i get the number of attachments in individual pages of Safari and sometimes it only wants to open the first attachment only.If anyone can give me some input with this it would be appreciated..
Thanks,
Mike Awad

Have you looked into using the rules in Mail? In Mail's preferences (File > Preferences...) there is section for creating rules. One of the things you can have a rule do is run an AppleScript, and another thing you can do is have the messages marked as read.
Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck getting an Automator workflow or application to work with the rules. However, if you prefer to use a workflow (saved as an application) instead of AppleScript, you can use the same workaround used by Folder Actions. Simply have the rule run an AppleScript which opens the workflow you saved as an application. Open Script Editor and create a new script with the following:
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages these_messages
tell application "/Users/yourName/Documents/use for a mail rule.app"
open these_messages
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
The easiest way to get the path to your workflow (saved as an application) is to delete everything between the double quotes "" and then drag and drop the file between the double quotes "". After you save the script, create a rule in Mail that will open this script. When you get new mail and a message matches the conditions to the rule, it will run this script which will in turn run the workflow you saved as an application from Automator.
With a Mail rule, you can add another action to mark the messages as read, though that's not really necessary since being unread doesn't have to be one of the conditions to match the message. Since the rules are automatically applied when you get new mail messages, it won't bother with any of your old mail. With that said, you can select any messages in Mail and choose to apply rules to them using the command in the Message menu (or the contextual menu from right-clicking).
It may turn out that'll you'll use more AppleScript, either within the workflow using Automator's "Run AppleScript" action, or perhaps by not using Automator at all. With Script Editor, you can open Mail's dictionary and discover what else can be done with Mail. Sorry, I didn't really have much time, but I hope this helps you figure out how you want to approach it. I think using the Mail rules will make it much more automated for you since they work immediately when your email is checked.

How to create a new Oracle OSB project automaticaly with script without IDE

Hello,
I want to create automatically an "Oracle service bus project" and an "Oracle service bus configuration project" with scripts (ANT or Maven or ...) without using IDE, without using workshop or Eclipse. I want to create automatically (ANT or Maven) just a skeleton of an OSB project witch i can use after in workshop.
I want to create 1 "Oracle service bus configuration project" with many "Oracle service bus project" automatically (ANT or Maven or scripts) witch i can use after in workshop. How to create a new Oracle OSB project automaticaly with script without IDE ? How can i do this ?
I'm using Oracle service bus 10.3.1
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your response,
I do not want to just create the services (proxy services and business services) but I want to create a template for 40 OSB project with the same scripts ANT/Maven.
Template="Oracle service bus configuration project" + "Oracle service bus project" + services of 40 OSB projects
The goal is that I have more than 40 projects to create and just the name of the projects that changes (when I say the name of the project ie the name of the OSB project, the name of proxy services and the name of business services ).
So I want to give my script (ANT/Maven) the name of 40 OSB project and the script must generate the skeleton of the 40 projects at once time and after generation of skeleton of the 40 project, I will import them in the workshop to add manually mapping and routing and other things that differs from one project to another.
So i want to generate automatically a skeletons of 40 OSB projects using a script (ANT / Maven) and I give to the script juste the names of the 40 projects.
I want to create a "Oracle service bus configuration project" and "Oracle service bus project" automatically of 40 OSB projects (ANT or Maven or scripts) witch i can use after in workshop.
I want to create one 'template' of all 40 projects in the same time, with the same directory structure (Transforlation, Business services, proxy services, WSDL .....) and all 40 project have the same transport, just the names of projects and services witch changes and i can give to the script all names of projects and services and i can give also all WSDL.

If firefox automatically updates my computer past 3.6 I'm inundated with Script Freezes..how do I stop new automatic updates?

Everytime I'm automatically updated past 3.6 my computer is inundated with Script Freezes..especially on the email page of gmail.
This has happened many many times. As far as I can determine these Script Freezes (Says: A script is attempting to write on this page.."Continue"..Stop Script etc) are coming from Internet Explorer (I'm not sure of this) and it's tricky to delete any elements of Internet Explorer. But at any rate my computer freezes up until the Script problem is settled..I check the don't ask me again block..but it does no good.
My real question is: Since things work fine in 3.6...how can I avoid any automatic updates?
Also, why isn't there a Timer Window (or a timer bar)for Firefox?...sometimes I have to wait 5 minutes for it to load! If there was a timer at least I'd know that something is happening and I'd be willing to wait. When it does take forever to load..it seems to help if I delete all Prefetch and temporary files.
Is there a safe way of turning off Internet Explorer temporarily?
Thanks for your help

I tried this today, and it is working now:
Click Firefox > Options > Options > Advanced ... then Uncheck the option "Use hardware acceleration when available"

EVENTS WITH SCRIPTS not visible

Hi,
I am not able to see the events with scripts in the SHOW drop down.
How can I get the above to have the calculations done?
the version of the designer is 8.0

Hi,
When it displays in the “default Calendar view” ,it shows "Event Permissions" option under EVENTS ribbon, this option can set permissions for a single
event. Click
” List Settings “
option under CANLENDAR ribbon, the "Permissions for this list” option can set permissions for the entire calendar.
When it displays in the "All Events" view, it shows "Shared With" option both
in the ITEMS and LIST ribbon. This option under the ITEMS can set permissions for a single event. This option under the LIST can set permissions for the entire calendar.

How are you currently using video with marketing automation?

I manage an educational site through Brightcove called Video Marketing Academy. I would like to create a course to tackle the challenges of using video with a marketing automation platform. I’d love to know how you are currently using video with marketing automation, what your results have been, and what are some of the challenges that you are running into?
I understand some of this maybe platform specific, but I would like to understand the challenges and help from a strategy and best practice perspective.
videomarketingacademy.brightcove.com

Well you certainly hit some good ones. When it comes to marketing automation I'm always game for more flexibility with anything, for instance I would love to have more conditional options on form processing conditions, and I know that has nothing to do with video but it goes to your answer, anyway that you can give a marketer more flexibility with filters or conditions or what not the better when it comes to lead scoring, campaign options, and reporting the better.
If one could integrate Video reporting into Eloqua I think that would be cool, I know that would be very challenging because of how Eloqua reporting works, but it would make it a one stop shop which isn't bad,

Error with script SYS.<...>Using sysdba connections for schemas is strongly discouraged.
Creating tables in the system tablespace that have no relation to the sys and system schemas brings its own set of admin headaches, sysdba should only be used to shutdown or startup an instance.
Or if there is a specific SYS object that needs to have permissions granted that cannot be done via a user with the DBA role privilege (i.e. SYSTEM), that should be the only time a sysdba connection is needed.
Also, beginning with 11g the pl/sql for setting a column with a sequence value can be done directly, no 'select ... into ... from dual;' needed.

[JS CS3] Apply Italics with scripting

There's a keyboard shortcut called "Apply Italics", which by default is [cmd]+[shift]+[i] on Mac, and [ctrl]+[shift]+[i] on Windows. I use it often because it will change text to the correct italic style. For instance text with the style "85 Heavy" will change to "86 Heavy Italic" or "Semibold Display" to "Semibold Display Italic".
Is there any way to access "Apply Italics" with scripting? The action is not available in any menu as far as I know.

I made this script which will change all text with the character style "I" into proper italics, and creates corresponding character styles. "I" is just a character style with no properties. It gets applied when I import content into InDesign.
I will end up with styles called "I 37 Thin Condensed Oblique", "I Italic Display" and so on according to the various fonts.
function applyItalic(){ // Finds all text with Character Style "I" applied in the current document and changes it to proper italic character styles
     var mySelection = app.selection;
     var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
     var myRanges = myDoc.stories.everyItem().textStyleRanges.everyItem().getElements(); // gets every textStyleRange in the document;
     var italicStyle = myDoc.characterStyles.itemByName ("I"); // this character styles has no attributes;
     if (italicStyle == null){
          return;
     var myRange;
     var myFont;
     var newStyle;
     var newStyleName;
     var n;
     for (n=0; n<myRanges.length; n++){
          myRange = myRanges[n];
          if (myRange.appliedCharacterStyle==italicStyle){
               app.select(myRange);
               app.menuActions.itemByID(119611).invoke(); // apply italics - same as [cmd]+[shift]+[i]
               myFont=myRange.appliedFont;
               newStyleName="I "+myFont.fontStyleName;
               newStyle=myDoc.characterStyles.itemByName(newStyleName); // if the style is created
               if (newStyle==null){
                    newStyle=myDoc.characterStyles.add({name: newStyleName, fontStyle: myFont.fontStyleName}); // if the style does not exist yet
               myRange.appliedCharacterStyle=newStyle;
     app.select(mySelection); // restores the original selection
applyItalic();

Find a text frame on the page with script label

hello to all
I need to create a script to
find a text frame on the page with script label "xxx"
and read its contents into a variable.
The content of the text frame is a number.

Hi Roberto,
Welcome to the forum,
This will find the labeled textFrame on the active page.
var myLabel = "Foo", // change to label
      myPage = app.properties.activeWindow && app.activeWindow.activePage,
      myTextFrames = myPage.textFrames.everyItem().getElements().slice(0),

while (l--) {
    if (myTextFrames[l].label != myLabel) continue;
    myVariable = myTextFrames[l].contents;
    break; // presuming there's only one "Foo" labeled frame on the page
    // Otherwise you'll nead an array

If Are all the pictures can be enlarged to 160% with script in indesign cs6?

a book is composing ,but the gest feel the picture is too small,all want to enlarged to 160%,
but there is Thousands pictrure, It is could be Achieve with script?
just like thist

@喜狼_edny – if you are using my script snippet, there is a undo in one go for the whole action.
Furthermore if used with images anchored, make sure that the anchor settings are appropriate before.
Before:
(The container below is locked and will not scale)
Anchor settings with wrong anchor reference point settings (German UI):
After scaling (new position according to the anchor settings):
Second try with different anchor settings:
After running the script:
Note: images locked or images on locked layers will not be scaled.
This could be expanded. Eg. for images positioned on not visible layers.
Images on the pasteboard etc.pp.…
