Can an imported object be used as a keynote mask?

If i create a (lets say) star outline in illustrator, is there a way to select it and import an image to it?
alan

There's a way, but it's not as direct as just copying and pasting. What you'll want to do is export out of Illustrator as an .SVG file, then use svg2key to convert the file to a Keynote presentation.
You'll find svg2key here.

I just installed Adobe InDesign CC 2014 and now I can't scale objects/type using Command+Shift Key. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, any solution?

There is a conflict with third party software or your system keyboard shortcuts. Lately, there have been many postings about conflicts with Chrome extensions so check there first.
It's not a new problem. I wrote about it on InDesignSecrets.com in 2006:

How can i import into imovie using the camera's built in memory?

How can I import into imovie from my cannon video camera built in memory. All that comes up when I connect the USB cable is what is stored on the memory card and it doesn't give me the option to use what is stored on the built in memory

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

How can I import photos without using iPhoto?

I'm 37, a lifetime PC/Windows user and have finally made the switch to Mac after years of using every other Apple product, including iPod, iPhone and Apple TV, which, by the way, must be the most under-marketed and best value Apple product ever. I can't believe more people don't have Apple TV in their homes.
With PCs, I was used to importing pictures to my hard drive and then viewing and editing them with whatever software applications I wanted. With my Mac, I notice that when I insert my SD card, iPhoto starts and asks me to import, which I agree. Unfortunately, it imports the images to an iPhoto folder that I can't easily access from another program, such as PhotoshopElements. I have read how to use Finder to navigate to these imported images in the iPhoto library ("Show Package Content") and then I copy the folder of images and paste it to a folder in my "Pictures" directory in Finder, but I find this tedious and also redundant as I now I understand I basically have two copies of every image, one for iPhoto Library and the other for accessing via other programs, such as Photoshop.
Is there anyway I can simply import images straight to a folder on my hard drive?
Also, if I do choose to access these images via iPhoto, am I correct in assuming iPhoto will automatically create a duplicate folder, just for accessing in the iPhoto library? If so, isn't this a waste of hard drive space? Can this be avoided?
Thank you for any and all assistance.
Kevin

Hi Kevin, I am in the same boat as you having been buying PCs for the last 25 years and managing IT for SMEs I have now purchased my first Mac (mac mini). My move to Mac started with the iPhone that led to the iPad then like you I succumbed to the beauty of the Apply TV that then led to the purchase of an Airport Express. The love affair had to conclude in the purchase of a Mac!
For many years I have used the feature to have the date photos taken created as a folder and all photos from that date placed in that folder. Every year I create a new folder for that year and the import on PC creates the daily folders to hold photos …
I was just about to ask how I can keep doing this and realised it’s not as important as I thought – I’ll still create a folder for each year and just have the photos dumped in there. I can sort in Finder by date taken and catalogue in any way I won’t.
I’ll still use folders rather than iPhoto as I want other software like XBMC (on other OS) to read the photos.
Thanks for letting me rant – I thought I will post anyway as this is my first Apple post and it may assist others.

Can't Import Sony AVCHD Using Log and Transfer

HI
I have been importing AVCHD footage from all kinds of cameras, mainly Panasonics for over 4 years now using Final Cut Pro 7. I just got a new Sony NEX-EA50 but when I try to import the footage using Log and Transfer, it does not show up. When I try to drop the card folder into the window I get the ""PRIVATE" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media." message.
The only way I can import the footage is using Toast, but that is a pain in the *** because it is a hassle to rename and scan the clips before I import.
Does anybody know whats going on? Did Sony purposely change their file directory system so it couldn't be read by FCP?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What framerate did you shoot ?
Log and Transfer will not recognise non standard frame rates such as 50 fps or 60fps. Toast, Clipwrap etc is an option but there is another. If you have the Panasonic AVCCAM importer Quicktime plug in, it will allow you to convert to Pro Res through Mpeg Streamclip or Compressor.
DM
Hang on, are you pointing log and transfer at the ROOT folder and not the folders inside.

Can't Import HTMLHelp Project using Robohelp HTML RH8

We have an HTMLHelp project that contains over 1000 HTML pages that are grouped into subfolders under the main project folder. Currently, we use the HTML Workshop to create/maintain the project files and generate the master chm. The master chm also includes baby chms that are generated using DocX or a home-grown program. Going forward, we want to start using a Help authoring tool . We downloaded a trial version of RH8. We clicked the Import option to import the project and received the following error: "The parameter is incorrect". I checked the forum and saw that other people also received this error message but for different reasons. Can you help us move forward so that we can evaluate RH8? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Sorry, your post fell into the "mm, take a look at the weekend" category.
I've not seen the problem you report in connection with importing a project but it's not a RoboHelp project you are importing but you are using that option.
You have CHMs so try Reverse Engineering them. See that topic on my site. Try Method 2 first.
There is also a topic on Merging Help and the RH8 version includes merging CHMs.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

Can CheckInRequest.Item object be used between threads?

I have inherited a custom connector and am helping figure out a problem that occurred when my predecessor attempted to improve performance uploading assets by releagating the insertion into the DAM into a separate thread. He did this in the CheckInHandler class by handing the object of type CheckinRequest.Item returned in the list returned by getItemList(request) to a separate thread run by a thread request pool.
However when this thread attempts to perform the upload, the input stream returned by item.getContent() appears to have been truncated. This means in practice that a zero byte file gets uploaded. The problem goes away if I replace the code that sends the item to another thread to run synchronously in the CheckInHandler.
First question is what is going on? The second question is are there any suggested best practices to optimizing perofrmance of insertions. This code was added in response to compaints that the Adobe applications (such as Illustrator) froze for a prolonged period when uploading assets to the DAM.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Lyman

> download the role, manipulate the download file so that it contains the data for all derived roles
I do agree (and use it myself as well, allbeit with Excel VBA routines) but this advise should be accompanied by the warning that :the checks in PFCG uploads are insufficient and minor flaws in your file can create an awfull mess. Practice a lot, and do this on sandbox clients/systems. Basically the fixed record length of table entries within the download files is something to very carefully watch. Having proper knowledge of the tables and data structure for roles is a must in my opinion.
If you search the forums for mass creation of (derived) roles with ECATT you'll find safer options as well. It may leave some manual work but that automatically includes all PFCG's checks and safeties.
Uploads skip more checks than I find comfortable......

Can't import excel file using Powerpivot Import Table Wizard

I am new to the powerpivot in 2010 Excel. I was trying to use the Powerpivot's import table wizard to import an Excel file into Powerpivot. I was able to connect the target source file when I was in the wizard window testing the connection.
However, after I accepted to import the file and clicked finished, I couldn't see all the columns of the file were completely uploaded into the PowerPivot worksheet. Also, the file has only 138 rows but it ends up over thousands row. Can you please
let me kow if this feature works at all or did I miss any steps?

Fill error -50 Can't import over network using new account

login as admin and can import music from my PC over wireless net (I just tried it). I set up a new account which is also administrator. As far as I can tell the two accounts are identical. I am leaving the files in their original location and not copying them. Tried importing but i get unknown file error -50. When attempting this on new account, prompts are slightly different, tho. It doesn't prompt me to select from available shares like in original admin account, but i can select network and then available shares manually. I'm using mp3 encoding. Thanks for any help

Kelly--
Thanks Charlie. tested theory right away. I made
new shared folder right on the root c:/ directory.
Put a song in there with a short name and tried to
import it. Got same error -50. So maybe that's not
it. Any other ideas?
What happens if you don't use iTunes, but just try to copy a file from the Windows share using the Finder? If you still can't copy from the one account, then it's a matter of how the Windows file sharing is set up in that account.
That error is a pretty general one, and what you're doing involves so many parts of the OS, from networking to authentication, to QuickTime, that anything you can do to narrow it down will help.
Can you describe in more detail the process you are going through to access the songs on your PC from both accounts? The more detail, the better...
Remember,... i can import these same files from same
folders (so, long filename and path isn't and issue
here) from another account on this mac.
That points to a setting that's different between accounts. Unfortunately, because of that nature of the error, until you can really narrow it down, it's going to be kind of tough to figure out why this error occurs.

Can't import into imovie using HV20 as AV/DV bridge

I've trying to import some old VHS footage from a VHS player to imovie v6.0.3 using a Canon HV20 as a analogue to digital convertor. I've got about 30GB free space on my Intel imac. It captures a fraction of a second of VCR image and then switched to importing the camcorder tape. I've had no problem importing VCR footage directly to camcorder (and then copying to imovie) but I want to avoid this two-step process and go straight from VCR to imovie vai camcorder in one go. BTW the chain goes VCR - stereo video cable - camcorder (AV/DV ON) - firewire - imac running imovie.
I've read somewhere that imovie v4.1 works fine but newer versions tend to work with specific convertors only. Can anyone help with a solution please and/or confirm this is a general problem.

I have an HV20 and just did the same thing with my MacBook Pro and a VHS VCR, with my HV20 in the middle. I used iMovie 08 and had no trouble at all.
The only reason that it would switch to the camcorder tape for me was if the VHS tape ended and I didn't manually stop the import in time.
