Can't save custom templates in DVDSP 4

I cannot seem to create and save custom templates. When I try, I get a variety of error messages, such as "no audio asset" or "cannot connect to blah blah asset" or I get no message at all--it just doesn't save. To confirm, there is no new template in the Custom tab, nor is there any new file in the appropriate folder under App Support.
This happens whether I create from scratch or alter an Apple template as a test.
I am the only user of this computer and log on as an administrator, although I gather this was only an issue with previous versions anyway.
I have a couple of older menu templates that I created and saved from the previous version of DVD Studio Pro before upgrading to 4, so I know I've done it before. These templates show up in the Custom Tab in DVDSP4 as well as in the folder for templates under my user hierarchy.
I suppose a workaround would be to save a menu as a Project template and just open that for each new project, "saving as" or not saving changes at all to preserve the "template," but I'd rather the software work as it should. I intend to build several Menu templates for use in recurring projects with different departments at my place of work.
Any suggestions?

This might have something to do with user profiles. I have now created a brand new standard user. No admin privileges. Logged on as this Test user, I am able to create new templates, modify existing ones, etc., and all of them are saved properly. The new templates show up under the Custom tab, as well as in the templates folder under user Test's application support folder.
For some reason, I just can't get DVDSP 4 to behave when I'm logged in as my Admin account.
To recap...when I try to modify an existing Apple template and save it, I get the following error message "Can't Create Template. No audio asset found."
This happens the first time I try to save, and if I try again (whether or not I make a change) the program gives me no message at all--just doesn't save it.
Arrggghhhh.

Can you import custom templates for keynote?

Can you import custom templates for keynote?

Yes you can. You can import a Motion project file directly into DVD Studio Pro, though when I tried it took a loooooong time (depends on the size and complexity of the project of course). Here's a tutorial on how to do that:
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-use-dvd-studio-pro-4-with-motion-53426/
OR... you can just export your Motion project and import it into DVD SP as a Quicktime file, and put that in the Menu section. Then you can add your buttons and so forth and proceed from there.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Making Custom Template in DVDSP

I have a DVD set up with two menus, connections, and a script. When I try to save it as a custom template it will only save a single menu and track.
Is it not possible to save a custom template with multiple assets? (menus, track place holders, and scripts)
I am trying to make a custom template for essentially "drag and drop" use for multiple projects.
Thanks in advance for the help and my version of DVDSP is whatever the most current is that came out with FC7.

I'm wondering if someone can help me.
I'm on SP 4.1.2, latest build of Leopard.
When I creating my templates, which are just enhancements of the Filmstrip versions, Sp crashes on me. Spinning wheel!
Using the filmstrip template, I end up having 2 pages.
1. the main page
2. the chapter selection pages (could be multiple of course)
So I set my menus up, then I go to the first menu, cntrl-click or right click (using a logitech trackball) and choose create template. I give it a name then click the box for self-contained.
When I press save, SP crashes hard, displaying the spinning wheel.
I have to force quit and of course, not changes were made
Any ideas?
I've reset permissions etc.. so I don't know that the problems is.
I do know this could save me some time. I could just use Apple's stock filmstrip project, but i don't like it enough. I transfer home videos for people and their DVDs are usually 12-18 chapters.
I'd like to have various templates set up for 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 (or more) chapters set up so I can just drop and drag to make all the connections.
Cheers and thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
keebler

Can't save as template - even without publishing activated,

Hi,
I am trying to save a template of the subsite and I am not able to do so. I don't have publishing enabled either at Site collection or Site level features. Any idea what could be wrong. I have not deployed any custom features in the site that I am trying
to save a template as.
Please help.

Can I save custom crop values?

Is it possible to save custom crops to ACR 2.1.1.9 ?
I have a client who needs event images cropped to 1056px x 594px to use in Intranet presentations displayed on large monitors in their hallways.
I use 10.56 x 5.94 in the custom crop in ACR to do this. But whenever I crop an image to another size (ones that might go in their newsletter) I lose the custom setting and have to re-enter again and again to 10.56 x 5.94.
I typically process a few hundred 'candidates' from their events (2-3 per month) and the image dimensions never change. Is there a way to add this custom crop value to the choices in the pull-down list?
Thanks
Russell

That seems a good suggestion for the future request.
Meantime I believe you can only do this in PSCS using the tool presets

Can I save custom export settings in QuickTime Pro?

I'm using QuickTime Pro a lot to export/convert many different projects, but every time I need to change the export settings, because there is no way to save them inside QuickTime
I've found a description on how to do it wil Apple Script: http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-Users/2002/Nov/msg00295.html
But the problem is that it needs to run also Apple script to actually perform the export, and I don't want it - I'm not a scripter, and I need the settings to be easy to load.
I thoigh there is some prefs folder, where QT actually stores those default presets, where I can put some custom ones, but I didn't find such a folder...
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks

QuickTime can only view WMP (Windows Media Player) files with third party software help:
http://flip4mac.com
To use Pro to export these files to QuickTime formats you'll need to pay for the upgrades at Flip4Mac.
Not all WMP files are supported.

Can't save as template because "can't export as template"

I am trying to save a document as a template. I believe I followed all the correct steps.
I then used "save as template".
I saved to the correct folder:~/UserFolder/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My templates
I keep getting this error message: The document “Blue letterhead.pages” could not be exported as “Blue letterhead.template”.
HELP!! Any thoughts??
Thanks

Ennea,
It shouldn't be that difficult. You do a File > Save as Template, give it a simple name and hit the Save button in the lower right corner of the dialog.
Try a new blank, or nearly blank, document, with a simple name like "test", and don't change any of the folder defaults. If this doesn't work, try the same thing in another User Account.
If the alternate User Account can do the Save as Template, you have a problem with a plist file or a permission, or something else is amiss in your regular account and some simple maintenance should clear it up.

Can't Save as Template in iBooks Author 2.1.2

I've only just now tried to save as template in this version. This is what it used to do:
Replace the .iba extension with .ibatemplate.
Change to the iBooks Author Templates folder so that you can save there.
Now it doesn't do either of these. When you select File > Save as Template..., it presents the folder where the .iba file has been saved and does not change the extension.
Manually changing the extension and putting it in the templates folder gives it a generic Pages document icon in the Template Chooser. However, it can be opened as a template through this dialog. The title of the document is Untitled, just like it would be if a template were chosen.
Has anyone else seen this?
I have lodged a bug.

Thanks both Arnis and Mike --
Interesting suggestions from both of you.
Arnis, we're putting the cleanup utility on the back burner for the moment, since in our company, we can get in trouble using third-party software. However, it's good to know about this utility and we will use if it we have to. (Occcasionally we are forced to put our careers on the line for issues like this...)
Mike, we created a folder called "PDFSettings" in the 7.2 "fminit" folder and copied over the six joboptions files from 9.0. Rebooted, rePDFed and voila, that worked. (Mind you, we can't say for sure that's what worked, because as I said in my original post, the simple act of rebooting "sometimes works, sometimes not...")
Eventually this problem will go away by itself because eventually we will get rid of 7.2 -- it's only deadline time-crunches that have made us reluctant to jump fully-clothed into 9.0...
I really appreciate the two of you taking your time to offer suggestions and help. I can't imagine life in the FrameMaker world without you!
Cheers,
Gay

Can't Save as Template

I have created a Business Card by emptying out one of the business cards and adding my own graphics and text and I want to save it as a template from File>save as template.
I get the Pages Logo with the following message: Couldn't create file /user/my name/Library/Application Support/iWork/pages/templates/My Templates/MapleBusCards.template
What am I doing wrong?
SJ Allan

Shirley,
Unless you've deleted all the files associated with iWork, and there's some tricky ones, reinstalling wouldn't do you any good. Here are a few more things to try:
1) Take a look at that path that's listed in the error message. Make sure you have that path leading to your template, exactly as it's listed in the error message. If that doesn't prove fruitful ...
2) Copy everything in your document over to a new, blank document. It's possible the document itself is corrupted. If that doesn't work ...
3) Start with a new, blank template. Type a single word into it (use a different font than in the other template), then try to save it as a template.
4) Try saving the corrupted template as a regular file instead of a template.
5) Quit Pages. Navigate to your user/library/preferences folder, then delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file. Restart Pages.
Let us know the results.

Can't delete custom templates

I have looked at the previous answers for deleting a custom template previously posted, but when I go to the Library, etc. when I get to iWork09 the only options after that are content (which contains only "fills") and Frameworks (which contains lots of items, no templates)

You're not in the correct library. There are at least three on your Mac. First, click on the Desktop or the Mac face in the Dock to make Finder active then hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu and select Library as in this first screenshot.
Now, using column view, follow the path as in this second screenshot.

Can't amend custom template

I have created a template in Mail (10.8.4) & can open it from the new message, the right hand icon, custom. However when I click in the template to amend some detail the whole template is highlighted & I cannot amend anything. Help please.

I guess I have the same question.
Once you save it as a template , the whole text seems to operate as a picture. Ie you cannot edit anything.
Am I missing something?
For example in above example, Number to order : 10 would not work either, as you cannot edit

How do I print on a greeting card in landscape when I can't save custom paper size?

I have a J6450 running on XP SP3 with the latest drivers and patches installed. I have greeting card stock measuring 6.5 by 10.0 inches and a Microsoft Word document with a custom paper size matching the that stock prints in landscape mode. The printer error is "Paper Mistmatch. Paper size or type is incorrect." I have followed the suggestions on the HP support page, changing the Print, Properties, Features options to show "Other greeting card", but can't define a custom paper size to match the stock. The Save option is not available. What do I need to do to make this work?

Here is a link to a HP document for adjusting several settings that may help with your issue.

Can't Save Custom Columns in Effects Tab?

In the now archived thread at
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5264320&#5264320>
Jerry Hoffman and D. Gilmore describe how to right-click on a column in the Browser (other than the Name column) and then choose the Save Column Layout option, which is exactly what I'm wanting to do. Weird thing though is when I try to do this for the custom column layout I've created under my Browser's Effects tab, that "Save Column Layout..." option is greyed out, along with most of the others as well.
Under the Project tab, I can Save and Load column layouts to my heart's content, but under the Effects tab, the only options which AREN'T greyed out when I right-click on a column heading (any column heading) are Hide Column (at the top) and Show Thumbnail (at the bottom). The other five in between (including Save Column Layout) are inaccessible.
Am using 6.0.2 with OS X 10.5.2. Any theories?
Bonus Question:
Is there any way to make a custom column layout in the Browser be part of a custom window arrangement, so that when I select one of my custom window arrangements FCP will load my preferred Browser column layout at the same time?
Thanks,
John Bertram
Toronto

Thanks to both Jerry and Doug for that confirmation -- albeit not the one I was hoping for!
And though it may come as a surprise, I did indeed create a custom layout of the Effects tab columns: with my Browser window over on a separate monitor, I like to have the Name column set wider (so the full names of all my Nattress FX are visible), then the Description column first (also set wider so I can actually see what the description says), and then my own Comments column immediately following that.
Despite the limited number of info columns in that Effects tab, it does seem odd that they would implement a Save Column Layout option in other Browser tabs, while then displaying it but not actually implementing it in this one tab.
So along with making custom column layouts part of custom window arrangements, I guess it's time I sent in yet another Feature Request to the friendly folks at FCP Feedback.
In any case, thanks again for the confirmation that at least my system wasn't doing something weird.

PE 4.0 can you save custom layer styles?

How do you create your own layer styles and make them available in the layer styles palette? Is there a way to do it with Elements?
For example, if you have your bevels, your shadows, your inner & outer glows, all set up just the way you want them, and you'd like to re-use them in the future in other compositions, then it would be useful to be able to save your layer style.

Hi there Patrick,
Using Photoshop it is possible to create and save your own layer styles but this isn't possible in Elements ... what you could do is save the layer in a file of its own then drag and drop it into your new image and do
Layer>Layer Style>Copy Layer Style
Layer>Layer Style>Paste Layer Style
Then discard the old layer ..
Long way round but it sort of works ... well providing the sizes, resolutions etc are similar...
