Changing a frame's fill colour

I should produce small text boxes containing reverse text (white letters in black boxes). How and where do I apply black colour to a frame's fill colour?

Select the frame, then in the Swatches panel click the fill color icon in the upper left corner (same icon is in the Toolbox and the Color panel), then choose your fill color.

Finding cells by content en replace stroke & fill colour

I have generated in InDesign CS3 a catalogue with hundreds of tables.
unfortunatly there was a mistake or two in building the tables. In a way I need to replace a stroke colour from a cell and also a fill colour.
So my question is if there is a way in InDeisgn CS3 for automatically...
searching in a document for table cells with "text colour Black_EN" AND "fill colour Black_EN" and change that particular cell stroke colour in Black_EN

Can someone help me with a usable script? I'm a newie to scripting so any help is usefull!
thanks in advance, Pascal (form Belgium)

Aaahh .. the old adage of one picture equalling a thousand words. In this case, the words are rather long, as the image is >280K.
O-kay. You have lots of tables, possibly some with bad colors, but the text is always the correct color. How does this sound: you click inside any table, and the script checks the current text color (*). Then it sets all strokes to that color, and the fill of every cell with a 50% fill pattern. It means you can select a table, run the script, select the next, run the script, etc. until done (or utterly bored, whatever comes first).
(*) Actually, the text color of the first character in the top left cell. I hope that's not a problem.
The script is fairly indifferent to your selection: anywhere inside, in the text, or with a cell, row, column or even the entire table selected is no problem.

Find fill colour frames in images

Hi All,
I am trying to find fill colour frames in images, my code is giving error as Object does not support the property or method "allPageItem"
could anyone solve this please.
var COLOR_NAME="color name string";
     var currentPageItem;
     for (var currentPageItem=0;currentPageItem<app.activeDocument.allPageItems.length;currentPageItem) {
          currentPageItem=app.activeDocument.allPageItem[currentPageItem];
          if ((currentPageItem instanceof Rectangle || currentPageItem instanceof Polygon)
                    && currentPageItem.contentType==ContentType.GRAPHIC_TYPE
                    && currentPageItem.fillColor==COLOR_NAME) { // do what you want
                app.activeDocument.selection=currentPageItem;
               alert("This box has fill color!!");
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi Chinna,
Thanks for your reply, the code is working with your idea like
var COLOR_NAME="Red";
//~ var COLOR_NAME=app.activeDocument.swatches;
     var currentPageItem;
     for (var currentPageItem=0;currentPageItem<app.activeDocument.allPageItems.length;currentPageItem) {
         currentPageItem=app.activeDocument.allPageItems[currentPageItem++]
          if ((currentPageItem instanceof Rectangle || currentPageItem instanceof Polygon)
                    && currentPageItem.contentType==ContentType.GRAPHIC_TYPE
                    && currentPageItem.fillColor==app.activeDocument.colors.item(COLOR_NAME)) { // do what you want
                app.activeDocument.selection=currentPageItem;
               alert("This box has fill color!!");
Now, how can I find a fill colour in images (all colours which applied in images), could you change it please.
Thanks in advance

Changing fill colour for partly transparent images

Does anyone know how to change the fill colour used for partly transparent images? I have a bunch of PNGs that I made for use as clip art, which I imported into iPhoto (that way I can use the media browser with Pages and Keynote).
Unfortunately, the images (which are black) are shown on top of a black rectangle both in iPhoto and the media browser. I've tried changing the background colour to both gray and black, but the 'fill' colour stays black.

There's no way to change it if you want to keep the transparency for use in other applications or web pages.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Problem changing fill colour after image trace?

I am using illustrator cc 2014 to trace a jpeg image. After tracing I want to change the colour of the resulting image. The default colour after tracing is black but the image fill colour is showing as a question mark and when I go to change the colour the whole artboard turns grey no matter what colour I choose. I know the document is in CMYK. Does any one know whats going on here?

Hi I'm still having trouble with this here are a couple of images of the before and after.
This is the traced and expanded image:
And after I select a colour:
There are two problems with this, first is that its gone grey (I'm definitely in CMKY mode) and second is it did not fill the image in the way I had intended.
What am I doing wrong?

Changing the frame-colour of a rectangle created with thre graphic-marks-tool in acrobat 7 pro

Doesn't matter what frame colour i choose, it will always stay in black colour!
What can i do??

Bob's right about creating a character style for the hyperlink, but there is no control to change the color for a rollover.
Sadness. :-(

Flatten transparency Fill colour feathering?

Basically the way I normally filled colours was either make live paint, OR flatten stransparency on my strokes, and to use the paint bucket. I have mostly used teh flatten transparency way to paint, but this tiem when I try to change the colour of my fills, it creates a feather/halo of some sort around my line art and fill colour. When I colour i only use fills, so I dont get added edges to my stroke. I have taken a screen shot of what it is doing.
Is it normal to have white edges around dark on dark colours?

Is this a CYMK-document and your strokes are 100% K?
Then it's just a screen display issue, will be OK in print (at least when trapping is handled correctly). If you need to eliminate the pixel border around the black strokes for use on screen you'll have to use rich black (but you'll be in RGB-mode in that case anyway).

Render Fill Colour on SVG Dial Sweep at Runtime

Hi all,
Thank you for taking the time to review this post.
I have been evaluating the various Dial charts in ApEX v3.0.1 and feel that the SVG 'Dial - Sweep' chart best meets my needs. I would like the fill colour to be determined at runtime depending on whether the returned value is above or below a set 'high' value.
As an example,
SELECT <x> value, -- if below 80 then fill is red, else fill is green
100 maximum_value,
0 low_value,
80 high_value
FROM dual;
As the comment states if the returned value is below the stated high value (80%) I want the sweep to be filled in Red (#FF0000) and for other values (>= 80%) to be filled in Green.
I see that there are CSS entries that could potentially be manipulated:
#dial{stroke:#336699;stroke-width:2px;fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
#dial.alert{fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
I just am unsure as to how to change the fill colours of these dynamically at runtime dependant on the result from my SQL Query source.
Is anyone able to offer some guidance and examples please?
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is able to offer any examples or suggestions to this post.
I have a workaround which is to create two Charts, each with a different colour scheme and Conditional Display logic (Exists) on each Chart that determines whether the returned value is greater (or less) than the stated high value (80% in my example).
As I am displaying 6 Charts on this page, there is a huge performance overhead in running 12 Conditional Display logic SQL Statements plus the actual Chart SQL Statement.
I'm wondering whether I can utilise any of the standard Attribute features, such as "Onload Javascript".
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Javascript so I'm not sure if (or how) I can reference the SQL Statement Value for comparison with the stated high value, or whether I can use it to change the CSS entries - #dial{stroke:#336699;stroke-width:2px;fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;} and #dial.alert{fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
As I say, any examples or suggestions greatly appreciated :-)
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Changing graph background to other colour or transparent

Hi,
LV7i, Win 2K
I would like to change the default background (grey) of an xy chart to another colour or even transparent. I have searched through all the customisation options but cannot find anything relating to the chart background.
Cheers
Pat

Im not sure exactly which color are you want to change. Heres a VI, you can programatically change the color of the plot area. Thats the "BG Color Box" in the vi and change the FG color which just gives some small accents. Also if you want to change the frame color I havent found any way to change it programatically but I made it transparent as you suggested. Use the paintbrush on the tools pallet and select the color you want in the top of the two list boxes then click on the frame with the brush tip. Hopefully this simple solution solves your problem. If not let us know and we can come up with other options for you.

How can I change the frame rate of a project in imovie 10?

My problem is: I made a gopro movie with a frame rate of 50 fps. I imported it to imovie. So far so good.
Scrubbing over the clip i found one single frame which looked amazing. So I draged some seconds of that clip into the timeline (the project if you will).
The goal was to make a freeze frame out of this "spezial" frame.
Unfortunately I could not find this frame in the timeline any more - it's gone.
I think imovie dropped half of the frames to fit the clip into the projekt, which I assume is using 24-25fps.
The only solution I found is to decrease the speed of the clip to let's say 50%.
But is there a better way?
Can I change the frame rate of the projekt somehow? I think it was possible in imovie 11.
many thanks
Rainer
(from austria)

iMovie 10 won't share at 50 fps and so for 25 fps output probably drops every other frame. This is different from Imovie 9 which could handle 50 fps. However, if you do 50% speed it will use all the available frames so that is indeed the way to find the frame you want. After you have made a freeze frame I think you can switch the clip back to normal speed. I am not aware of a better way in iMovie 10 By the way there is also no facility to export a still of a frame in iMovie.
As a GoPro user I think FCP 10.1 would be the best choice.

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

Is it possible to change the frame rate of a motion template?

Motion has some very useful templates, but the majority are only offered in NTSC, not PAL. (including all in 3D TEXT PROJECTS).
Is it possible to change the frame rate to 25fps before I start adding my own stuff, so that I can easily get the timing right for a PAL sequence in FCP.
If not in Motion, how else could this been changed?

Try dragging all the groups from one project into another instead - you'll need to open both project and rearrange the windows so you can see the layers tab for both of them.

How can I change the frame around a title created with the Rectangle Tool?

In PrE 7, I have been creating titles (e.g.: Title > New Title > Default Still, etc.) for a long time and using the many ways to manipulate the text (type, color, size, animation, etc.). Today, I tried to use the Rectangle Tool (or the Ellipse Tool, or the Line Tool) and they created a beautiful 'frame' (like a picture frame: artistically designed and colored) and I can change the background color within the frame and place any text (also background picture, etc.) in it. However, I couldn't find any way to change the 'frame' or the general style of these title objects. Is there any way to do this, or this is the only design that can be created with these tools? I would greatly appreciate any help (couldn't find any in this u2u site). Thanks, Laci.

Laci,
Yes, you can apply Styles to several Rectangles (or other Shapes), to simulate a "frame." The Styles should appear as Text in the Styles Panel. Since you are working with Shapes, but viewing the Styles applied to Text, it is not perfectly intuitive as to what those Styles look like with the Shapes.
Personally, I find that doing things like "frames" in Photoshop and then Importing the PSD's into PrE is far, far easier. In that case, I would place the PSD on Video Track 1 (unless I wanted it to appear superimposed over my Video (like a PiP), and then do the text in a PrE Title, and place it above the PSD.
Here is an example:
This is a simple "picture frame" created in PS. I used a still image, instead of text in this case. These could be "wood-grained," "granite," etc.
Much more control and tons of Effects and Filters that can be applied.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - that is from PrPro, so the GUI will look quite different, but things work the same way.

How can I change the frame rate mode?

Adobe Premiere Pro exports my videos with a variable frame rate. Because of this long videos are asynchronous. How can i change the frame rate mode? So Adobe Premie Pro exports my videos with a CONSTANT frame rate? The original video has a constant frame rate...

Sorry my mistakes. I am from Germany.. so...I mean with asynchronous that the video file and the sound file are displaced. In the beginning of the Video it's normal, but if the videos is very long it goes VERY "asynchronous"
