Can't add effects to source quicktime files in FCP 5 Academic

I'm working on a project for someone, and their source files are .mov files. They have already composed the files into the timeline and they need some color correction done to some of the clips. When I double-click the clips on the timeline and open them up in the viewer, I drag the color correction filter over to that clip in the viewer. When I change the color settings in the filter tab, nothing happens to the clip. When I drag the color correction filter to the source file in the browser, I can make the changes that I need, but when I put it into the timeline the changes aren't there. I have never had this problem, but I usually work with files that I capture myself as mpegs. Is there an issue with the source quicktime files?

hey there,
i'm cool. but tired. sorry that i got that wrong... just like "yep, i'm a bit of a n00b but not that much..."
alright...
the procedures that both of you were describing are just exactly what i do. exactly. DRAGGING filter onto the clip, DOUBLECLICKING the clip, CHOOSING filter in viewer, MODIFYING the filter, CHECKING the result in viewer - video.
no effect.
to answer your questions one after another...
- i use fcp 6.0.3
- tried to apply standard fcp built-in filters (sorry, don't know the english labels for 'em... but whatever: ANY filter i use HAS NO EFFECT)
- source material is .mov, dv-pal, pal-ccir 601, 720*576, no alpha, normal composite-mode.
- yesterday, i trashed fcp preferences with fcprescue6. didn't help, obviously.
- repaired file permissions.
- i searched the forum for 2hrs. negative result (apart from this thread opened by jjzlbass)
- what i didn't do yet was to reinstall the whole thing. if nothing else helps, i'm going to try this...
once again, i hope to be clever enough to follow standard operating procedures when applying filters. but: neither audio nor video filters work in my system anymore.
i'm grateful for your help

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

When I try to move a PDF file to iBooks the system works for a while...sometimes the file appears and than disappears....sometimes the file never appears. Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks? Thanks....

Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro CS6?

RED footage has a restriction on metadata. We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

How can I add a PSD logo watermark file to an image in CS4 or Lightroom3?

Hi,
I have a psd file with my company logo as a watermark. How can I add that file to an image in CS4 or Lightroom3. I am sure it is really simple and I am just a bit dopey but would appreciate the help.
Thanks.
Natalie

This is fully explained in the help file. Hit F1 and go to using the watermark editor, you will see there is is also a video tutorial so I won't repeat the advice here.
You will need to change the PSD to a PNG in order to use it and retain any transparency layers. Open the file in Photoshop and choose save for web, then select either the PNG 8 or PNG 24 preset and save a copy of the file.

How can you add comments to a text file while using a Digital Waveform vi?

Hi. I'm very new to Labview. I have a txt file of 1's and 0's wired to a "read from text file" which is then wired to a "spreadsheet string to digital.vi" ("digital waveform") and lastly to a graph. I want to add notes to the txt file that will not be read in the digital waveform. i.e. Like how you use // or /* in a C++ program to show that you are writing a comment and not code.
Labview version: 8.5
Thank you

You will just need in your text file a line at a time. Search the string for the characters // or /*. If it finds them, then loop back and read another line. If it doesn't find them, you must have a good line of data and you can pass on to the next part of your cod.

Can't add more than one music file at a time

i used to be able to use "add file to library" to add several newly downloaded songs to itunes all at once by highlighting several song files. all of a sudden, i can no longer do this. i have to add them one at a time. it allows me to highlight more than one, but when i click on "OK" no songs are added.
anyone know why?

As a general comment, most users don't have a problem opening multiple files, so this is probably something local on all of your systems (though not necessarilty the same thing).
Standard things to try for troubleshooting are removing all third-party plugins, including any font manager auto-activation, creating a new user account and try that, trash your prefs (see Replace Your Preferences) and start your machine with background programs disabled.

How can I add metadata to a MTS-file in Adobe Bridge?

Hello,
I want to add some tags to my Videos. Those are MTS-files.
Is this possible in Bridge? How can I do this? Or do I need another programm for this?
Thanks for your help!

Don't think Bridge and .MTS files are a good match but don't use those file (nor much video at all, mostly photography) myself and can't check.
But you can try it yourself very easily.
To be sure make a back up so when it does not work nothing is lost. Point Bridge to the folder with MTS files (use the folder panel for quick navigation on your HD) and when you can see a preview (or file thumb) check the metadata panel IPTC or other fields.
If you see a pencil at the right side of the panel for a field click on it and you can add info, if there is no pencil you can't.

Pdf files - how can I add text to a pdf file

I want to allow my Google group to fill info out on a Numbers form, but the Mac users evidently don't have Numbers. I sent it to them as a pdf file, but text can't be added to it as a pdf file. There has got to be a way. I tried using Tools - annotate - add text, but that didn't really work. Any help?

You may want to look into getting Xtools ps-scripts - Browse Files at SourceForge.net then. Most of the support is for ActionManager script code where XML code is use as an intermediate step. There are quite a few Photoshop script in XTools . Ross Huitt is an expert javascript programmer though is is fed up with Adobe's lack of support for Photoshop scripting particularly the bugs in ScriptUI he is still maintaining tool he has created for us free of charge. Tools like Image Processor Pro. None of his scripts are save as binary so you can read all of his code there is a wealth of knowledge in there....
Also there is a scripting forum Photoshop Scripting
