Can't move lower third with transform tool

I created a lower third with 4 text and background elements. I want to reuse it later in the movie to display a different name. I made a copy of it and positioned it in the timeline, but I can't move all 4 elements at the same time on screen to position it right. If I use the transform tool, it only allows me to move one element at a time even if I shift select all elements, but I need to be able to move all 4 at the same time. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for time and help.

Highlight all the clips in your lower third and create a Compound Clip.
This will enable you to move all the clips together with the transform tool
You can then copy this clip and use it like a template. When you need to update the text, control click on the Compound clip and select Break clip apart. and edit the text.

Not sure what you mean. You can import video into I Movie either via your USB slot if it is already in digital format or via your fire wire slot (you may need an adapter as the MAC slot is a mini slot, the adapters are available on line) if you are coming from tape based media.

How to make a lower third with an opacity gradient?

There is a lower third (name title) I saw while watching a YouTube video that I'd like to replicate in Premiere, in which it features what I would call an opacity gradient, rather than a linear gradient, radial gradient, or 4-color gradient. Here's a link to the very lower third I'm referring to:
http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h426/btpayne13/1AE07C32-91AB-4D3B-8A42-2D588B8BB83D-14 72-000000B4B5AD1359_zpsd04cb202.jpg
It appears to have a color stop opacity to it as well, but how can I get the lower third title itself to operate under an opacity gradient?

Taking another look at the opacity gradient lower third I referred to, it looks like the gradient doesn't begin to take affect until about 3/4ths of the way down. Up until this point, the opacity remains constant. It's as if they keyframed the opacity gradient to begin only at this point, but I doubt you can keyframe lower-thirds.
However, I just realized there is a way you can achieve this. It may not be the most efficient way, but it's the only method I could muster up and it appears to get the job done. Here's how: because Premiere does not feature a 6-color gradient (which would be ideal for this scenario), instead create two separate 4-color gradients under fill type. First, create one 4-color gradient, then specify each quadrant's color stop opacity all under the same percentage to ensure uniformity, say 60% for all quadrants. (I guess you wouldn't have to use a 4-color gradient for this first uniform lower third, but it may help to use it to visualize what I'm talking about.) Next, create another 4-color gradient and line it up flush with the first gradient. It is with this gradient that you will begin to level off the opacity. Set the color stop opacity of the two quadrants on the side that is flush with the previously created gradient to match the opacity of this first gradient (in this case, it would be 60%). Finally, move on over to the opposite side of this second gradient and pull down the color stop opacity to 0%. Voila.
I'd like to upload a YouTube tutorial to more clearly illustrate step-by-step how to achieve this, as you did, but I've never created screen-capture tutorials before. If I pick up some screen-capture software and post this tutorial, I'll share it on here.

Can no longer re-size with selection tool

For some reason, I can no longer resize objects with the selection tool. When I click on an element, the handles appear, but remain solid. When I select to scale the item, the whole item moves. Any suggestions?

Cmd(Ctrl)-Shift-B which is the toggle for Show/Hide Bounding Box or maybe Cmd(Ctrl)-H the toggle for Show/Hide Edges.

Animation: how can I move objects (and their transform keyframes)?

Hi,
I have created a project with a group of layers which all move (have transform keyframes set up).
Now I want to move the group, but when I do this and then run the animation, the position of all the transform keyframes I have set up remain in the same place.
Is there some way to move a group of objects and the location of their transform keyframes at the same time, or will I have to go through each keyframe and move them individually?
Thanks!
Jack

You need to get some understanding of HTML and CSS to know
why building a
web page is not like using a page layout program or even a
word processor.
Unfortunately that will require some effort on your part.
You cannot just place things on the page in HTML - you need
to build an HTML
infrastructure to hold the elements you want to appear on the
page, and to
hold them in the location where you want them to appear. As a
simple
example, consider a 1 row by 2 column table, where each
column is set to 50%
width, and the table itself is 800px wide. An image placed
into the second
column will be located exactly 400px from the left margin of
the page
(assuming a) the image is less than 400px wide, b) the table
has zero
borders, cellspacing and cellpadding, and c) there is nothing
wider than
400px in the first column.
Make sense?

[CS6] How can I move shapes (created with paths)?

[CS6]
I created shapes with the pen tool.
Then I selected the path selection tool and selected a path.
Clicked right mouse key, choosed "Fill Path..." or "Fill Subpath"
(don't know what it means). After filling with a color I get an object in
the form of the path and I can move the path to another place.
But I can't move the object in the shape of the path.
I can't move it with "Path selection tool" because it's no path.
Then I tried the "Move Tool" but I also can't select the object with it
instead the whole canvas is moving.
How can I select and move shapes which were
created with the pen tool?

You've drawn a Path then filled a region of a pixel layer.
To make Shape layers, use the Pen Tool in "Shape" mode set in the Options bar.
If you really do want to draw a Path and use it to create moveable pixel shape then do the fill with an empty layer targeted.

Can't move an object with arrow keys - CS3

In Fash CS3, suddenly, in certain files, I can't move an object left using arrow keys - but I can move the same object right, or if I hold down Shift + left arrow, it works correctly
Also - I can move the object down with arrow keys, but not up
Workaround - move an object on a different layer, then return to the problem object and it moves correctly. But this doesn't last long, the problem resurfaces.
Does anyone have a solution for this? (I've tried rebooting; tried copying all the layers into a new file - no help.)

Now, working in the same file, I just clicked on a stroke and it changed the stroke from a smooth curve to angular lines.
I suspect this file is corrupt. Any thoughts on how to salvage the weeks of work that have gone into it? Every version of this file has the same issues.
Thanks for any help.

Can't select text boxes with Type Tool to write in on pages, only on Master Page

I'm unable to use the Type Tool to select the tax boxes on a document page in Indesign CC. I can select it on the Master Page. I can write on the Master Page. If I apply the Master Page afterwards, the written text from the Master Page appear on the document page, just as it should. But whenever I try to select a column on a document page, all the Type Tool does is draw a new text box (which I can select and write in). What's up with that? I applied the Master multiple times. If I can write on a the Master Page, why not on the document page?

Individual master frames can be overridden on a document page by holding down Cmd + Shift (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift (Windows) and clicking on them with the Selection tool.
Empty master text frames are generally more useful for placing external text files and having them flow from page to page than for typing, and they need not be overridden to do that -- just move the loaded cursor inside the frame.

Can't stroke a path with any tool in PS CS3

Hi, guys, I'm on a G5 Powermac, 1,5 GB RAM, 2GHz, running OS X 10.4.11, and I just got CS3 Web Premium. I'm discovering all the little changes the hard way. In Photoshop I have found that I can't stroke a path: I draw a path with the pen tool, check all the settings to make sure the brush is at 100%, it's a brush, I'm on the correct layer, the layer is at 100%, the path is selected, etc. I click on "stroke path" in the path menu, and what I get is unusable. There is a correctly-sized dot under each anchor point, but no stroke. If I delete the path, I'm left with these dots. It occurred to me that it could be an airbrush setting issue; I've seen airbrush strokes that looked a bit like this, but they didn't fall where the anchor points are. I called Applecare about it. We went over all the settings, found nothing out of order, they came up with a workaround that I can use pro tem, but finally they requested a copy of the file I was working on, and suggested that my video board driver was out of date. Problem still there. anybody heard about it?

McCann...
From everything I've been able to gather, the Dev teams for Photoshop and Illustrator don't share muchif anythingin the way of common tool coding. It sure would be nice if the vector tools in PS worked the same way, and with as many options as the AI tools, but they don't.
Quite frankly, it makes absolutely NO sense to me, from an application integration standpoint, or from a conservation of resources standpoint. But historically, I think it's because the 2 applications were created independently from each other, and there's so much legacy coding that isn't easily shared. IMHO, there are many good reasons to recommend that PS and AI be rebuilt from the ground up so that they can take advantage of a wider base of common coding. It might be a PITA early on, but it could only make things easier in the future versions.
So, no, Photoshop has never been intended to "replace" AI, no matter how many similar functions they may have.
On the other hand, from a bottom-line standpointwhy sell one app, when you can compel power users to buy 2?

Can your movie be marked with a copy right symbol before uploading?

Hello forum,
Can anyone give advice on putting a copy right on a video/film? Have you done it? When do you do?
Thank you!

I appreciate you responding again. It wouldn't necessarily need to be in the entire video as a watermark. However, great response! I will work with this.

How can i reset a Upgrade with sapehpi-tool

I will reset my upgrade to ERP EHP5 with sapehpi.
The upgrade is currently in the Preprocessing-phase.
But when i in the gui menu bar choose EHP_Installation -> Reset Upgrade
i become following message: "Resetting the EHP-Installation is not possible".
What can i do ???

Hi,
Please refer to upgrade manual::
1.
Make sure that the installation GUI displays the Back andNext buttons, which indicates that SAPehpi is not in a dialog phase. If it is in a dialog phase, the GUI displays the Repeat, Init, and Exit buttons. In this case, choose Exit before resetting the enhancement package installation.
2.
From the GUI menu bar, choose EHP InstallationReset Installation.
When you reset the installation, error messages are displayed stating that SDT requests could not be executed. You can ignore these messages.
3.
Delete the installation directory
Ensure you apply note 1518145 before reset to avoid any errors.
Cheers,

You will have to invoke requestFocus() on Rectangle so as to gain focus. You may try below code..
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCode;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
var cx:Number;
var cy:Number;
var fang = Rectangle {
    x:bind cx
    y:bind cy
    width:50
    height:50
    fill:Color.BLUEVIOLET
    onKeyReleased: function(e) : Void {
        if(e.code == KeyCode.VK_LEFT) {
            cx--;
        } else if(e.code == KeyCode.VK_RIGHT) {
            cx++;
        } else if(e.code == KeyCode.VK_UP) {
            cy--;
        } else if(e.code == KeyCode.VK_DOWN) {
            cy++;
Stage{
    width: 200

Can I move images edited with the trial version to the version from the Mac App Store?

I have been using the trial version of Aperture to determine if I like it. I am now ready to buy Aperture from the Mac App Store. Will my edited images be moved over to the licensed version automatically or what do I need to do to not loose my edits?
Thanks for your help.
Bob

You will be able to open the trial library in the purchased application even if it doesn't happen automatically.

How can I add text to a Lower Third mov

I have downloaded a few lower thirds from a website and they download as .mov files.
I am trying to add text to them and lay them over some product spotlight videos for my work.
I was thinking that they were going to be in template form but they are not.
What is the best way to add text to these .mov lower third files?
I just have to create my own animation for the text to follow along the lower third?

> I just have to create my own animation for the text to follow along the lower third?
Yes, that seems to be the case.

Can I re-size full background into a lower third?

I'm using the lower third template Nature>Nature Lower Third with green background behind my text.
I would prefer to replace the green background with the blue watery background from the template Promo>Album.
I can copy and paste the blue background, but cannot resize it down to lower third size to sit behind my text. I can move it, but there are no handles I can see to resize it.
I've spent a few hours on and off without success - maybe it can't be done.
Any advice appreciated. Robert.
