Basic videos - how to

I downloaded PS Elements 12 trial. Are there any basic videos that walk a novice from turning it on to how to edit photos? The nomenclature & videos available make an assumption one knows ho to use this. An example is trying to separate a family photo from the background behind them filled with others & objects. I'd like to take the family image & place it on a more suitable background for a Christmas greeting card

Good morning Mr. Peru:
I want to thank you once again for your quick response. I have tried following some of the tutorials; just not addressing what I am trying to accomplish. I would like to take advantage of them as this Photoshop Elements looks like a really great program. Unfortunately, all of the beginners’ tutorials cost money and they certainly appear to be well worth it. I am very surprised that Adobe itself does not offer a free online tutorial for novice beginners such as myself as it would certainly benefit them in terms of sales, etc.
I have used every tool, tried my best, brushed out the background of the attached photo but just can’t get it to work. All I am trying to do is take this photo, separate the family shown in the photo & create a Christmas greeting for them – no luck doing so. There does not appear to be a “cut” capability after outlining the group to put them on a “blank” canvas or new color background. Anyway, just wanted to thank you & best wishes for a merry Christmas!

Our school will soon be requiring ipads. Is there a video available that is interesting for ages 9-15 that explains the basics of how it works?

I have been struggling to find an exciting and informative video for students ages 9-14 that explains the basics of how to use an iPad. Everything that I have found either teaches coding of is very slow moving and more appealing to adults. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!

not a video...

Basic video file

Hi everyone,
I've never used Premier Pro before but I need to create a very basic video file with a size of about 450 in width by about 250px in height. I have a jpg image and also a 30second mp3 sound, so I would just need to know how to create a new document, then how to insert the image and audio and how to save it as a video file. It will then be placed in flash professional.
I wondered if someone could give me brief instructions on how to do this. As mentioned, I'm completely new to video making/editing.
Really appreciate any assistance.

Thanks for the reply,
I managed to put something together. I imported my .psd file, as well as the audio file. I did run into a problem though. I have some text in my .psd file which is coloured red. After I exported the file to the .f4v file format, I placed it into flash professional and tested the video, but when I did this, the red text is very pixelated and blurry. If however, I go back to photoshop and change the colour of the text to white, I don't have this problem. I'm not sure why the colour of text in a placed .psd file would affect the rendering in the video.
Do you know why this is happening or whether there's a workaround?

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

Did you sync to a different computer than the one you had previously synced to? If so you need to sync to the original computer. Otherwise you can just restore the last backup you made on the previous sync.

It's written with audio podcasts in mind but will explain the general principles for you - ths concept of a 'feed' is the same for audio and video.

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

I deleted a video, how do i bring it back?

Customize countdown in Print to Video--How to??

Customize countdown in Print to Video--How to??

If you didn't use black after the couple of frames of the "2," what would you put between there and the starty of program?
You CAN change the black if you want... but there's a reason for :02 of black:
It's expected and necessary in live television.
Black is necessary on the tape in order to be able to go from "black to black" as when going into a commercial break.
------- stop here if you don't want the background on why---
The tape is cued to a specific number of seconds ahead of sound and then rolled when the director calls a "roll tape" or "Roll VTR _" cue. The countdown rolls by in the monitor, and the director and technical director can see when picture's up, then take the video.
There's usually a fade to black out of program and then eithe a cut or fade to the next video/audio source.
A similar process happens at the end of the commercial. At a specific number of seconds before the end of commercial #1, commercial #2 is rolled... then taken... and so forth if things are coming off of separate tape machines.
Black at the head and tail of spots lets a simple routing switcher make the change from playback device to playback device.
In the "olden days" before automated tape playback machines, commercials were either on film reels (edited together into clusters with a countdown at the beginning and black leader on the tail,) on a videotape that was edited together in a similar fashion... or... (sometimes dangerously so) rolled from four or five different tape machines "live" on the air.
If things were rolled "live," one right after another, I'm sure that there were a lot of praying break operators in stations where equipment was old, maintainence was lax and Murphy was a regular visitor.
The countdown and black on each commercial was a necessary timing tool in order to get through the break cleanly. I can tell you from experience that NOT having them made life verrry dicey when it came to getting in and out of program elements cleanly.
The RCA TCR 100 Cart machine and the Ampex model that did the same thing) would play all the elements in a break and do the switching in between... simplifying the process... until there was a breakdown of the machine, and then you should have seen the scramble in Master Control and/or the tape room.
Its a lot different these days if the station or network airing the commercials plays spots (commercials) off a file server... it's a different game entirely.
Everything is automated and "trimmed" when it's transferred (or start and finish marked on the file).
In that case. the countdown is not needed to get the commercial on the air... but is included to ensure that there's a reference for where the spot actually begins. The :02 of black is still included, since stations traditionally fade or cut to black between spots.
The countdown itself was designed to allow theater projectionists make smooth changes from reel to reel as a movie was projected on the screen.
The projectionist would thread the film on the incoming projector so that the first "10" was in the gate.
As the outgoing reel ended... little cue dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen "cued" the projectionist when to roll the upcoming reel... and then a specific number of seconds laterten in our examplea second set of cue dots (four frames worth) on the screen would cue him to hit the changeover button, opening a douser on the incoming projector and closing one on the outgoing projector... and swapping audio sources at the same time.
The countdown performs a similar function in live television: The tape is cued to a specific number of seconds ahead of sound and then rolled when the director calls a "roll tape" or "Roll VTR _" cue. The countdown rolls by in the monitor, and the director and technical director can see when picture's up, then take the video.
You'd think that woould be the case for movie packages and syndicated television shows, right?
