Best way to edit an asset style??

i wanted to change the color of an asset style. what's the
best way to approach this? for example, there are all kinds of
grayscaled glassy styles in the assets panel. if i take a plain
rectangle and want to apply the glassy asset style, but in a
different color, what's the easiest way to change the coloring?
thanks

Make your changes to the Style (Edit current ones/ or Add New
ones via the PI Filters).
When complete with changes, go back down to the PI, click the
+, the n 'Options' from the list, then Save As Style.
Give your Style a new name, then OK.

    The rough description of Preview Window trimming..
    a. double click clip in Project Assets to bring up Preview Window
    b. move Timeline indicator to beginning of section, hit Set In; move Timeline indictor to end of section, hit Set Out.
    c. next you can drag the segment from the Windows to the Timeline audio track and/or drag the segment from the Preview Window to Project Assets to become part of the project's media.
    The following should give you some thoughts on the above.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
    Although more from a video trimming perspective, the principles apply to an audio clip as well.
    Now "delete and close gap" can be interesting depending on what is around the area involved.
    Please check out the details on that in the following.

    Not sure I am clear on
    The “delete and close gap” option in the edit menu does not work. Do I have to move the file to the Narration Track on the Timeline to do the actual trimming?
    You should be able to trim the narration in the Preview Window opened by right clicking the narration clip in Project Assets and then drag the segment to an audio track or narration track or dragging the trim to Project Assets for source media.
    Please check out the above and then let me know if you are OK with the information. If not, let me know where I need to clarify what I have written.
    Thanks.

  • What is the best way to edit meta data..

    What is the best way to edit meta data and tag photos, faces, places etc. and have the data saved to the original photo.
    On a PC I would just use Windows Gallery. iPhoto on the Mac allows for some tagging, but it doesn't save to the original file.
    I like to have my photos in a folder, edit them and save the changes.
    What software would work best on a MAC to accomplish this?
    Thanks for any help,
    Nick

    iPhoto is a database and any metadata you add or edit is available in any app - if you learn how to use it.
    iPhoto is a non-destructive processor. It never touches the original file - it treats it like a film shooter treats the negative.
    If you want a copy of the original file with the metadata included simply export a copy.

  • The Best Way To Edit Multiple Photos On One Scan

    Hi...
    I would like to know what the best way to edit out photo’s from a scan that has multiple photo’s?
    It seems like I must make a duplicate of the scan, in the amount of photos, on that one scan and then crop each “duplication”.
    Is there some other way that is better?
    Any suggestion, comments and opinions will be appreciated
    Thank you in advance...

    Catharsis:
    If you're using Canon's Canoscan Toolbox application to scan the photos try deleting its preference file, com.canon.CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.plist, and try again.
    In the CanoScan window make sure Select Source is Platen, Scan mode is Color (Mulit-scan) as seen in the screenshot below. That will crop and save each photo to its own file.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • What is the best way to make google earth style maps using Creative cloud

    I work in News.  I am trying to come up with the best way to create a google style map for our news stories.  I want to create a map that I can highlight certain counties and pinpoint certain spots on the map.  For example cities and landmarks.  So far we have been using our weather graphics system to accomplish making maps, or we have used google earth to make maps too.  From what I understand there would be a lot of leg work in the process of making a project that has a map database with any possible info I would need to make a map.  I need to be able to output the graphic in a Quicktime movie format, or at least a JPEG.  This would help us put the map on air for broadcasts.  Any suggestions, thoughts, advice on where to begin?  Am I wasting time?  Should I stick to google maps/earth?
    -Newsie WBBJ

    Don't leave it as an LOP file. FM will overwrite the contents every time. You may still have a ".backup.fm" version of this that will have your original table.
    Also, the approach mentioned should be the very last step when publishing the book, not something that you're continuously updating.

  • Traveling with MacBook Pro, Mac at home. Best way to edit photos now but save later?

    Hello. I'm traveling with my MacBook Pro w/Mavericks for a few weeks. I have a new Mac (Mavericks) at home. All of my current photos are stored in iPhoto on my Mac at home. Both computers have iPhoto.
    What is the best way to edit my photos (taken with an iPhone 5s) now while traveling but in a way that I can still import them into iPhoto on my Mac when I return home? I don't want photos split between the two iPhoto libraries. If I import them into iPhoto now, on my MacBook Pro, and then edit them, is there a way to send them over to my iPhoto on the Mac when I return home?
    If I import them into iPhoto (Macbook Pro) and edit them now, then when I get home export them as Current from iPhoto on the Macbook Pro and then import them into iPhoto on the Mac, will there be any data loss?
    Is there another solution?

    The solution is to use iPhoto Library Manager to move the shots and all the versions and metadata from one library to another.
    This is the only way to move everything between Libraries.
    If you export, you lose either your original or your version. Unless you export with care you can lose metadata too. If you are going to export, don't use 'Current' as you can get higher quality with other settings.

  • Best way to edit and deploy pages to remote host.

    Hi All,
    I wasnt sure whether to ask this in General or here.... sorry
    if this is the wrong forum.
    When I make a site using an access database & asp pages
    In the DW I tend to do everything from the remote server.
    I set the site up in my properties and test remotly etc and
    it all works out fine.
    But what I find is remotely it seems to slow up my PC and DW
    hangs quite often when I try to close it down or change sites..
    My problem is I have a connection string for my database and
    Locally the database is just in the root of the site so I used to
    use a Server.mapPath to get my connection..
    But on the remote server My DB is in an outside Private
    directry and my connection string needs the full path to the DB.
    What im finding is if I test locally and upload the
    connection string online chenges to the local connection string and
    I have to go and change it to get the proper paths on the server
    again, even if I choose not to upload dependant files this seems to
    happen.
    Im wondering how you guys do this and if there is anything im
    missing in my set up and the best way to edit test and upload your
    files in DW.
    Thanks again

    Hi Envision,
    I tried DSN locally and it worked very well, but not all
    servers support it even if they allow an access database and I have
    found some just allow DSN-Less so plumped to do this that way...
    Thanks ;-)

  • I need to know best way to edit MXF files, with least rendering, is that converting the MXF or Log and Transfer? the end product is dvd, but I have lots and lots of these projects to do.

    I am about to comence my Edit, and was told of Mpeg Streamclip, however this doesn't seem to work with my Canon XF305 Clips, the reason I was told to use it was so I wouldn't have to Render in Final Cut Pro all the time.. I do have the Canon Disc with the Plug in Utility and the update from their site.
    Is it best to Convert these MXF files first and import them into FCP or use 'Log and Transfer', so far I am unable to do either!!
    The projects on the timeline will have introduction .Movs already on it as a Template to re-use again and again with the new Footage ( MXF Files ) to be added and edited with transitions etc..This process is repeated again and again but with different MXF clips each time.
      I am looking for the quickest and best way for workflow as there are 80 or more projects to do, each with 10 or so clips to be added to the timeline and Exported for DVD...Will I have to then Compress to fit onto DVD's??
    I know Streamclip is an Mepeg 2 app but I thought the Canon XF305 Shot as mpeg2....
    Is Log and Transfer my only Option?
    Basically I need to know the quickest for Render purposes, and of course, the best way so the files aren't so huge etc etc.
    Please, any suggestions would be greatly received....

    We only work with PR422 files in FC7.  We use Shane's workflow with all 5D & MXF footage.
    Make your life easier and stick to the ProRes family for your footage and edit sequences. Avoid H264 & convert any you have to ProRes.
    Unless you are considering Blu-Ray the only way to deliver video on a DVD is to convert it to SD.
    Depending on the length of your show you can make a Blu-Ray in Compressor but you have very limited authoring options when compared to DVD Studio Pro.
    Compressor can also convert your HD to SD mpg-2 & Ac3 files. The best results usually come from setting the frame controls in the mpg-2 setting of Compressor to best. Depending on the the length of the show and your Qmaster settings this can take quite a while.
    I personally find Compressor's HD to SD DVD conversion varies. Sometimes it is wonderful and sometimes not so much. I prefer the following as it is usually is faster and very consistent.
    Export a quicktime movie (not QT conversion) of your final sequence
    Import the exported HD file back into FC.
    Create a SD 16x9 sequence and then drop in the recently exported HD seq and render. Rendering the sequence basically has FC doing the HD to SD conversion. Export the SD sequence and then convert to mpg-2 & ac3 in Compressor. While this does take time I still find it faster than Compressor with Qmaster utilizing all cores.
    Another option is using jobs in Compressor
    http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-154-540p-h264.mov
    In this workflow you would have Compressor convert the HD file to SD and then through jobs convert the SD file to mpg2 & Ac3. 
    In theory the jobs version could be faster (based on a number of variables- length, Qmaster, etc) but I haven't had time to compare the two. 

  • Best way to edit text in Motion 5?

    I am using Motion 5 and a Template (from Motion VFX), and had trouble editing the text in this one text field. I couldn't just click in the Canvas and edit the text; it would just create another text box.
    I am trying to get out of the habit of just clicking on the canvas, and I want new ways to edit text.
    I searched and I found one way. I would use the "Find and Replace" tool (Command and F), and then search for the text string, and have it edit it. Is this the best way in everyone's opinion? Are there other ways I can edit text fields? Any tips?
    Thanks,
    Craig G from DC

    Select the Text "layer" in the layers column; select the Text tab in the inspector; select the Format button at the top and change the Text in the Text field at the bottom.
    BTW, that text field is publishable for FCPX from the disclosure triangle that appears when you mouse over that space with the "Text" header.

  • What is the best way to edit/sync two video files?

    Has anyone had experience with editing 2 movies files?  I have recently taken video with 2 cameras of the same quality and am attempting to 'merge' the two video files.  What's the best way to 'sync' the 2 files?
    Thanks

    The real answer is to do this in Final Cut Pro X with the new multicam feature with automatic syncing using the audio wave forms.
    However, it is quite possible in iMovie.
    Here is how I did it in iMovie.
    I recently did this for a video of my niece's senior voice recital. (Video is below)
    The key is to use the Cutaway feature of  iMovie. If you are not familiar with Cutaway,here is a good tutorial from Ken Stone.
    I used the side camera as my base clips, and used the back camera as the cutaway clips. The back camera audio track was OK but had too much coughing and noise.
    Here are tips for getting it lined up perfectly.
    1) In iMovie/Preferences make sure that you check "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames" so you can edit to the frame level. (Also, select "Show Advanced Tools so you get the Cutaway feature)
    2) In the iMovie Project View, set the thumbnail slider to 1/2 second so you have a great deal of control.
    3) Initially, leave the volume at 100% on the Cutaway track, so that both tracks are playing. You can hear when they are off.
    4) Click the "Waveforms" button in the Project view, so you get a visual cue of how to line up the tracks.
    5) Between the audible cues and the visual cues, you can nudge the cutaway back and forth one frame at a time by dragging until you have it perfect.
    6) When it is lined up to your satisfaction, set the volume slider of the Cutaway track to zero, and turn off the waveforms. You can also move the thumbnail slider back to 5 seconds or so.
    7) For some of the fine work, I switched to the "single row timeline view". This slows you down a bit, but lets you see the waveforms more clearly.
    8) I made heavy use of the iMovie Comment Marker feature. I watched the whole base video/audio track and inserted comment markers at the points where I wanted the Cutaway to begin and end. For example, a comment might say "Insert Cutaway 1". I would usually time the cutaway so it started at a distinct audio event, such as when the piano start. This comment marker made it easy to drag my cutaway to a point that was approximately correct.
    9) If you need to do a lot of cutaways, I find that it helps to use the SPLIT CLIP command in your project. This way you can have a single cutaway per clip, and this makes it easier to manage and is less processor and memory intensive for iMovie. I would use the comments to mark the entry and exit points of the cutaway as described above. I would then select that portion of the clip that included these markers plus a little more, so that a yellow border is around the selection. Then right-click/SPLIT CLIP (or CLIP/SPLIT CLIP in the top menu). This does not physically splt the clip within the Event. It only virtually splits the clip in the project.

    It's easy if you want upade game files, not game engine binary.
    You can make your app that will load swf file. So you can make engine that will load all files externaly from device. Firstly you run app and if it connected by wifi - ask user for upadate wish and that simply download from http files as binary and save they using FileSystem

  • What is the best way to edit photos and save changes across devices (without using iphoto)

    So I took allot of vacation photos with my iphone and created a photo stream so they can be viewed across devices. Some are dark and I would like to lighten them up and have the changes saved across devices. What is the best way? I originally tried saving all photos to my pc, editing them them, then syncing to all devices via my pc but, this creates 2 folders on my phone, the actual folder with said vacation name and a folder titled "photo gallery" with the exact same photo's. Not sure why it does that.
    Any suggestions?

    All photos transferred from your computer are saved in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space.
    This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library. The same applies if you transfer multiple albums or folders of photos, or a single album or folder.
    Similar to an iTunes playlist on your iPhone. You can listen to a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or listen to all songs by selecting Music. A song placed in a playlist is not duplicated as in taking up double the storage space.
    You can place the edits in the photo stream on your computer, or in the photo stream on your iPhone or other iOS device, and delete the originals in the photo stream prior to the editing.  

  • Best way to edit in audio first for a news story type edit

    Whats the best way to do a news story type edit?
    I want to lay down audio narration ( voiceover track ). Next I want to add picture. I want to have some flexibility to edit and move around parts of the voiceover track. I will also want to be able to move the video clips around. What's the best way to do this?
    Which method would you use? All ideas are welcome.
    So far I hear:
    1. Edit in a text track ( as a placeholder ) the length of the proposed narration
    2. Add audio ( narration)
    3. Add video clips
    Additional questions:
    A) When I add video clips, should I do cutaways? Which offers the greatest flexibility?
    B) If I do use cutaways will I eventually be able to delete the original placeholder text track?
    Thanks everyone. I'm trying to get a handle on iMovie. Your responses are helpful.

  • Best way?  Edited HDV1080 24p to HDV108060i

    Hello All,
    I've done a search and really don't think I've found my answer. I have an edited HDV1080 24p sequence. It's and intro piece and we wanted the more filmic look. I now need to use this sequence in an HDV1080 60i sequence.
    What is the best way to handle this? Currently I am using compressor to output the file to Apple ProRes format and will then add that to the 1080 60i sequence.
    Which I am sure is the wrong way to do this. Thus I find myself here looking for advice. I am just learning FCP so go easy on me...
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Jim, your comment about you wish mfgs would not include 60 progessive is interesting. So, question, I have no desire to have my final/only output to be BR.
    I see AVCHD coming, which does support 1080p/59.94 fps.  I also see Youtube allows me to now upload a 20 gig file, so I plan on uploading a
    H264 10809/59.94 file.  Not sure if it will make the output better. But to imply one should never shoot in 60 progressive at 1080 because no future format can use the quality is?  I am already loading all of my 10 plus thousand, 100gig plus pictures up into the Flickr cloud.  I am thinking of now trying to do the same with all of my video with Youtube cloud since my account no longer has a time limit, and the 20gig is amazing.  By getting off of my pictures and video in the cloud, I will be set to watch it at anytime from anywhere.
