Alignment Grids for Titler in PrE & PrPro

There have been several discussions on the lack of real alignment tools in Titler, for both PrE and PrPro. I use a workaround to this, and just Import a "grid" image, created in PS and Saved to .PSD with Transparency. I use the same technique to build layouts for PiP and similar.
One just Imports the .PSD into their NLE (Non Linear Editing) program, as a still, or as Footage in PrPro. The .PSD is then placed on the Timeline in a Video Track above any other Clips. The Title is then placed above the .PSD. In PrE, one sees the Video below the Title automatically. In PrPro there is a checkbox to do this.
The grid in the .PSD is used for alignment of the elements/text in the Title.
Be sure to remove the grid, when you are done, or in PrPro, you can turn off visibility for its Video Track. Otherwise, you WILL Export the grid, and that is not what you will likely want to do. Do not forget to disable this .PSD, before the Export.
Attached are an NTSC 16:9 .PSD and an NTSC 4:3 .PSD, with proper PAR for each.
Hope that this helps someone, where they need better alignment in Titler in either PrE, or PrPro.

Hi
I tested the grid idea...works well. I ended up layering stills with transparency to see the grid and line up ...I did a test title page and stills in the same psd file...and I didn't create an overall background image...but left the screen black (black video) in premiere...can do background image later...this was first time doing a layered psd to premiere...
I found the grid (especially with the various "weights" of letters in different fonts ( like the letter T or the letter O ) need to be shifted a bit for balance and the grid helps a lot with that, as well as the horizontal postition of the images. For some reason the images appear to go into layer OK vertically (centered at least, and can adjust from there depending again on "weight" issue), but horizontally they are off a bit (not centered exactly) all the time.
At any rate, I can see how the grid helps to get a reference for lining things up...so thanks for uploading that and sharing it.
I ended up using the eyeball and transparency a lot in psd, finally turning everything on and opaque before saving for import to premiere, and when in premiere I did what you suggested..put the grid on top video channel and it worked well.
Rod
ps. I'm finding it fun to do my own cross dissolves...so they aren't all the same exactly. Takes time though...so I can see big benefit to just using preset with a lot of images to deal with.

Alignment grid settings in preferences

Hi, I am trying to create a temporary grid for aligning clips and cannot figure out how to draw a custom grid. Is this possible? Maybe it's my Photoshop brain, but I just want to divide the 720x486 frame into 4 x 4 rectangles. I could figure out the math, but if I had guides that I could visually see and make masks, it would be easier. Am I missing something in a menu somewhere?
Thx,
Steve

And can that be done in Photoshop? Distribute guides? I'm no PS expert, but if that exists, I'd like the knowledge.
As for your quandry, Patrick is right. By replicating a square with outline and no fill, you can create the distributed guide you want. Just make sure that the replicator layer is centered at 0,0. Then you just adjust the scale of the replicates and the size of the replicator shape to get what you want.

Background Colors for Titles

Is there a setting within iMovie that will provide for a different color background than black for titles?
Thanks!

Placing a title over a color background
1 In the timeline viewer, select the video clip to the right of where you want to add a title or text
and drag the clip to the right to create a gap.
2 Click the clip viewer button and locate the new color clip (it will be black).
3 Select the color clip and choose File > Show Info.
4 Click the Color box (shown below) and choose a color for the clip.
5 Click Select and close the Color box.
6 Follow the instructions above for creating a title, but don’t choose the Over Black checkbox. A
color clip is technically a video clip.

Due date grid for FP04 transaction

Hi Folks,
I need a report layout showing the due date grid for all the open items. Using FP04, I created layouts with all the required fields, but I'm unable to see the grid for due days. Few screenshots of the layout I designed and the summarization fields I defined in our system.
As shown in the output screenshot above, it doesn't display the total grid horizontally for a given customer, instead it is showing rows individually for each grid (30, 60,etc.).
Please advise how this can be fixed to show all the grids for a given customer (30, 60, 90, 180, etc.) in a single row.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Amlan,
Thanks for your response.
Here is the layout I have defined.
I initially had few subtotals maintained, but I removed them later as it was not working.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Santosh.

My C4780 photosmart printer is stuck in the "scan this alignment page for best print quality" loop.
i.e. It keep display this message and refuse to print.
My OS is windows Vista Home.
I had followed the steps in the user manual but still cannot fix this problem.

Hi tsanchung,
From the description of your problem, it appears that the alignment process was not completed successfully.
I would recommend that you load the alignment page printed as shown in the section 'Step eight: Align the cartridges' in the link below to complete the alignment:

When Do I Get My Money Back For A Cancelled Pre-Order?

I Just Cancelled My Pre-Order. I Just Looked In My Account And It Said I Still Had The Same Amount Of Money. So I Was Wondering When I Get My Money Back For A Cancelled Pre-Order?

There is nothing to refund, you weren't charged when you pre-ordered it, you would only have been charged when it was released

Flash for the Palm Pre

Now that flash is on general release where do I go to download the Palm Pre version?

It seems any post or forum that Adobe doesn't like gets "frozen" out when discussing Flash for the Palm Pre. The missing Palm Pre Flash and the "shift of blame" by Adobe to Palm has been a common theme (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2748422#2748422 as an example) is becoming tiresome.
Yet if you ask Palm they tell you its nothing to do with them, why would it be? That is such a silly dead-end statement that I suspect Adobe are far to embarrassed by what's actually happened. If they want to prove me wrong then how about they release the flash to me rather than Palm? LOL now, there's a novel idea!
I suspect this has something to do the popular rise of Android, an operating system for mobiles that was still in design when webOS for Palm Pre was already established. It appears, and no one denies, that the demo on the Palm Pre, you know the one, the one that made us all go out and get the Palm instead of the iPhone, was an iphoney.
We have been duped.
While much of the web relies on Adobe technology at the moment the end of their business cycle is in site, not just HTML 5, but sentiment in general. The lack of respect, clarity, accountability and honesty in the main to blame.

Could I use the square grid for calibration in IMAQ vision?

In IMAQ vision 6.0, NI provide the circular grid for system calibration.But now for some reasons,we need to use the square grid for calibration.Could the square grid be used with the calibration functions in the IMAQ vision for system calibration? What special things do we need to consider when we use the square grid for calibration?

Are you talking about the layout of the points that make up the grid, or the shape of the points, or something else?
Using dots in a rectangular grid with regular X and Y spacing is the standard grid for the NI calibration routines.
I don't think the shape of the dots is critical. They could be small squares instead of circles.
If you are talking about making a grid using lines instead of dots, like a tic-tac-toe board, I think you will have problems with the NI routines. You could probably do some processing on the grid image to reduce it to dots at the intersections, but it doesn't seem like it would be worth the effort. I would just use a grid made of dots instead.
If this doesn't help, explain your problem more clearly.

How to align printer for cd labels

How do I align printer for CD lables?

Hi,
Just try-on-error. From the good old days, my successful rate was around 30% that why I bought a new printer which can print on printable CD/DVD's directly. By the way, you have to be very careful with the paper labels, they may stuck inside your player after a while, specially if hot.

How to align prompts for a stand alone report

I have an OBIEE analysis with prompts. This is a stand alone report and not a report on the dashboard.
This report has various different prompts each with a different text. Due to which they dont align .
For example
(dash is a prompt box)
Product Name= ___________________
Product Description contains any ________________
Batch Number= __________________
Destination City contains any _________________
But what I want is to have spaces between the prompt and prompt box so that it align correctly.
Can this be done just from the prompts tab in the report?
Thanks

hi
why dont u use Prompt Display to "Place label on side of prompt" ?? . it will align automatically.
Regards
