Can you make custom DVD menus with PrE9?

Hello,
Is it possible to make a custom DVD menu with PrE9? I don't mean modifying a template, I mean creating your own layout.
My background is with the Nero product and with that I was able to create custom DVD menus. Adding as many or few buttons to a screen, etc.
I've been trialing PrE9 and I see that you can modify a template, but it appears that you cannot change the number of buttons, or scenes that are supported from any given screen.
Thank you in advance for your help,
-=John

Although you can modify the colors, fonts and even menu background, you can't do any deep modifications of Premiere Elements templates in Premiere Elements.
You can, however, modify and create your own templates using a program like Photoshop or even Photoshop Elements. (The templates are PSD files.) There are quite a number of rules you have to follow, however. And the order of the layer sets and the names you give each layer is very important.
I do take you step-by-step through the process in my combined Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements book, available on Amazon.com and at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com.
http://Muvipix.com/pe9.php
I've also created a number of templates for http://Muvipix.com, many of which are available for free. A couple of these are very generic so that they can be easily modified in the Premiere Elements Disc Layout workspace.

NewBie Question: Can you make a website completely with Java?

Greetings my new Fellow Java programmers. My name is Jason and I am a computer programmer and web developer. I am verse in the following:
1. HTML/XHTML
2. CSS
3. Asp.net
4. VB.Net
5. SQL
I want to expand my skills to include:
1.JAVA
2. Action Script
3. Java Script
4. Ajax
I have always wanted to learn Java and now I think it is the right time. So my question is can you create a site complete with Java or have a majority of the site functions and look attributed to Java? Is it similar to creating a site with vb.net and asp.net which utilizes html as well? Please explain. I am eager to learn this language. Thank you.

I find it strange that you have to ask this. Of course the end result will be HTML/XHTML, that's what the browsers want. I would think that if you know the .NET side of web development, these concepts (client/server technologies) should already be clear to you.
The short answer is yes it is possible. However if you want to learn Ajax/Javascript/Actionscript, I would learn those technologies before you learn Java web development as they are completely unrelated. You know that Javascript is not Java, right? You can implement javascript/Ajax in your .NET web applications already.
Before you want to learn Java web development, learn Java. Seriously, learn basic Java first. It will be a great deal harder (and ultimately a lot more frustrating) to jump directly into the web development side of Java without knowing any of the basics. One of the biggest differences between .NET and Java platforms is that Microsoft basically holds your hand when it comes to making decision about which APIs to use and how to attack a problem; Java leaves you to the wolves to select from a gigantic amount of APIs and tools available that can each solve a problem in their very own way. Freedom is great, but it can be very daunting when you are just beginning.
So before you even think about web development, I suggest you explore the java tutorial and see if you can get to grips with the language and the tool set.
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]
When you are comfortable with the Java language and you are sure that Java web/enterprise development is still something for you, then come back and ask the question again.

Can you make a DVD without a menu?

We need to make a DVD of a Quicktime movie I created.
I can do it just fine using one of the supplied themes.
Looks great.
But in this circumstance I need to make it so the movie keeps playing continuously in a loop.
Is there a way to make it do that through iDVD?
I also tried a version using Roxio Toast.
It can create a menu-less DVD that plays back continuously.
But the quality pales by comparison to what iDVD creates.
Any suggestions?

Yes.
See this for help:

From *iDVD Help*: (Look there to see this entire explanation with pictures):
+Creating a DVD that plays automatically when it is inserted into a DVD player+
+You can create a DVD that consists of a single movie or slideshow that begins to play automatically when the viewer inserts the DVD into a player. Such a movie or slideshow is called an “autoplay” movie or slideshow. You can also set the movie or slideshow to loop so that it plays continuously in what is called “kiosk mode.” This is great for creating presentations to be used in a kiosk or for making simple projects that require minimum viewer interaction.+
+To create a looping autoplay DVD:+
+Open iDVD and choose “Create a New Project” in the dialog that appears.+
+Type a name for your project in the Save As field, and then click Create.+
+The iDVD window opens with a default theme selected. This theme will not appear in your final DVD because an autoplay DVD does not use a theme.+
+Click the Map button (shown below) to open the DVD map.+
+Click Media to open the Media pane, then click Photos or Movies.+
+Drag a movie or a photo album, or even a single image, from the Media pane to the project icon (shown below).+
+You can also drag images or movies stored elsewhere on your computer or a connected server.+
+You can use photos, movies, presentation slides (created in a program such as Keynote), or other image files in a slideshow created in iDVD. iDVD works with any image file that is supported by QuickTime (including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF.)+
+To turn on looping for the autoplay movie or slideshow (a single image is also considered a slideshow in this context), click the project icon and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.+
+If you added a movie with sound, the audio of the movie is retained, so the viewer hears it during autoplay.+
+If you added a slideshow, you can double-click the project icon to open the slideshow editor. There you can add a single audio file or a playlist as a soundtrack and set other slideshow features, such as transitions and slide duration.+
+Click the Preview button (shown below) to see how your movie or slideshow looks.+
+The iDVD remote control opens, and your DVD begins to play immediately.+
+When you’re finished, click the Exit button on the DVD remote control to return to the iDVD window.+
+If you are sure your project is the way you want it, you can burn it to a DVD. When you put the final DVD into a DVD player, it begins to play immediately and will continue to play until you stop it.+
If you are ok with one of the iDVD menus and just want the movie to loop, select 'loop movie' like this:
Also from *iDVD Help*:
+Setting movies and slideshows to loop+
+You can set slideshows, autoplay movies (which start to play immediately when a DVD is inserted into a player, before the DVD menu appears), and movies to repeat continuously, or “loop.” This means they begin replaying immediately after they end. If they include audio, the audio also loops.+
+Looping an autoplay movie is especially useful for creating self-playing presentations, such as those used in tradeshow kiosks. For more information, see Related Topics below.+
+In map view you can see at a glance which slideshows and movies are set to loop. A circular arrow symbol appears in the bottom-right corner of the icon.+
+Here are ways to turn looping on or off:+
◼
+Double-click a slideshow button on the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor. Click the Settings button (shown below) and select the “Loop slideshow” checkbox.+
◼
+Select a slideshow icon in map view, and then press Command-I to open the Slideshow Info window. Select the “Loop Slideshow” checkbox, and then close the window.+
◼
+Click a movie or slideshow button on the DVD menu, or a movie, slideshow, or autoplay movie icon in map view, to select it, and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.+
+When looping is turned on, a checkmark appears next to the command in the menu. To turn off looping, select it again to remove the checkmark.+
◼
+To turn looping off for a background movie on a menu, open the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (but with no buttons or text items selected), press Command-I. Move the Loop Duration slider to zero.+
+When you’re viewing the burned DVD, you can press the Menu button on the DVD remote control to exit from looping.+
Please post back if these do not address what you are wanting to do.

Can you make Custom Frames for HP Photosmart A826

I was wondering if there is a way to make Custom Frames to be used for the: HP Photosmart A826 Home Photo Center
Basicly I would like to add my company logo to photos printed with this printer if it is possible.

The issue I have with hexagon is the amount of bugs in it. I prefer a more robust and more expensive alternative. But thats me
A free alternative is Blender. But I find the UI a bit outdated and hard to grasp. But again, thats me.
Generate your UV maps as you normally would then load them into photoshop and get painting. You may like other texture generating apps to go along with photoshop. Genetica is great for making tileable textures.

How can you make Automator see files with no extensions

I'm trying to create a workflow where Automator would have the Finder find Photoshop or TIFF files even if they don't have file extensions. If I choose Kind>Image, it gives me everything under the sun including every image from web sites I've visited during the period specified. If I use a file extension criteria, it misses any files of that type that don't have file extensions. I thought since file extensions aren't required in OS X that Automator would be able to tell even if the file extension is hidden.
Any suggestions other than go back and add extensions to all the files?
Thanks.

taylor.henderson wrote:
You kind of contradict yourself in your question.
If a file does not have a file extension in its name then in general your computer (including automator) has no idea what type of file it is or what you want to open it with.
I guess I didn't make myself clear. What I meant was that the file extensions are not visible. I'm not sure you can even create a file that doesn't have some associated extension. They're always either hidden or visible as far as I know. So I'm talking about visible file extension suffixes. And when they're hidden, the computer DOES know what kind of file it is. Since that is the case, I'm wondering if there's a way for Automator to also know even if a file extension isn't visible.
If however "the file extension is hidden" as you say at the end of your post then I take this to mean your files are named with .extension suffixes and you merely have finder set to not display extensions in which case you can still treat the files as belonging to a certain format.
That's exactly it.
I've been using Macs since 1984, and never got into the habit of using file extensions (suffixes) to the names when I switched to OS X. Now I find, though, that in Automator, it doesn't find files when the extensions are hidden. The Finder still recognizes file types even though the method it does so has changed. What I wanted to know is if there is any Automator action that would be able to find files of a certain type even if the extensions were hidden.
I'm not looking for a way to create file extensions from scratch or get into resource code. I'm just trying to find a way to work with the files I already have, that already have associations with programs and have associated file type extensions even though the suffixes are hidden.
So basically is there a way to do it or not without renaming all my files to make extensions visible? If there is, I'll use it. If not, I'll have to find a method of batch changing all the files.
Thanks.

Can you make a recovery disk with a mac?

I have two mac computers. One works that I currently use for personal use. But I recentlly bought a "fixer up iBook G4" that needs an install disk of 10.5 Leopard. I cannot find my disks that came with my Powerbook g4 but can I make a restore disk or recovery disk so I can restore the operating system that's on the iBook g4?
Thanks in advance!

Connect the two computers using a FireWire cable. Use Target Disk Mode to clone the one drive to the other. Boot the iBook into TDM, then boot the PB normally. The iBook's drive should appear on the PB's Desktop. Use Disk Utility to erase the iBook's hard drive, then use Restore to clone the PB's drive to the iBook:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

Can you make ContactSheet working properly with the different size of photos?

i have two photos of size 2000 px X 1500 px and 2000 px X 1350 px ... i can not have the Contact Sheet to combine two photos accordingly, "2000 px X 1500 px" locate in the top of the page and "2000 px X 1350 px" follow the first photo...
there is no issue in doing the first photo, but the second photo is always shrink with a smaller size (width is changed to less than 2000 px) photo...
is this normal that it will not work accordingly with different size photos?...
if not, how can i make it work with different size photos?...
cheers,

Different size layers containing various aspect ratio images would be hard to distribute onto a document canvas. Would be like piecing a jig saw puzzle together. Where image contend has no bearing on where its location should be. Like laying out a slate patio of random size slates. There is no correct solution you need a good layout where slate size fit well together where spacing between them are nearly the same. Then you need to rearrange the slates for a better visual composition. Constrained to a rectangle canvas no image left out no image trimming or resizing minimal white space. A hard puzzle.. Canvas area and aspect ratio, image area and aspect ratios no one correct solution.

Can you make custom clothing for 3d Models?

Hello, I am new to Photoshop CS5 Extended and mostly bought the program for making textures for 3d clothing since it has a bridge from DAZ to Photoshop which I hope will make my work go faster. I have been using DAZ and Poser for a while now and have been working in photo editing and vector designing for 12 years. I am not new to this, just need to adobe products. I was wondering if it is possible to custom clothing for 3D Daz models using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended? I can find tutors on painting models but nothing on making the custom clothing itself, not a texture for other clothing but making my own clothing for DAZ Kids4. I have been using Hexagon to work with clothing but was looking for a photoshop alternative method.
Thank you
Kimberly

The 3d creation portion of photoshop is still a bit limiting. (But my experience stops with CS5. I have not tried CS6 yet, so impovement could have been made)
The issue I have with hexagon is the amount of bugs in it. I prefer a more robust and more expensive alternative. But thats me
A free alternative is Blender. But I find the UI a bit outdated and hard to grasp. But again, thats me.

Can you make custom trailer templates

Is it possible to create a custom trailer template? I would like to create a drag and drop template for a very specific repeatable short form video project. The idea is that i can provide the template to a wide range of people and they can populate with content and send back in a standardized format.
Is that possible?
Thanks
Cameron

Japib,
Thanks for the response. I have googled and just did again. Lots on how to make templates and how to convert trailers to editable content, but i can't find anything on creating a fully custom trailer that would walk a user through the creation of content in a formulaic way like the iMovie trailers do. If you happened to have a link or any other direction, i would appreciate it.
Thanks
Cameron

Can you make custom ringtone for iPhone 4 w/o using iTunes?

My computer crashed and I had to redownload iTunes and all my music the other day. I plugged my iPhone 4 in to put a custom ringtone I made in iTunes on it and it says it wants to "erase and sync" my phone since it was connected to my old iTunes. Is there a way to fix this or is there a way to make a new custom ringtone for my iphone without using iTunes?

you're better off creating new ringtones. Take a look at the first link I gave you, that will answer all your questions.

Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.

hold shift when you are loading itunes up, and you will be able to create a separate library.
when you load up itunes again, it will load up the last library opened, to get back to the other one you need to repeat this process and open the other one.
